Duomo

This is a picture perfect smell of a church in Italy that is hundreds of years old. This isn't a dark church scent. Its a church that is made of cold white marble, has light coming in through the stain glass windows, and warm wood. The slightly balsamic wood smells like it has soaked up the smoke from the church incense, that the two are forever entwined. With a building this big and this old there is always dust floating in the air and settling in the corners. Then there are the books and scriptures written on fragile papyrus that could crumble in the slightest breeze. Something about this fragrance feels, grandiose yet empty. Like you are the only one in the church, shoes squeaking on the marble floor, and looking up at the painting on the ceiling feeling slightly lost in the world.

This fragrance has really good projection, when you walk by people will believe you just came from confessional. This also lasted about 7 hours on my skin.

The Library of Alexandria in a scent. (Based on vibes, not historical accuracy.) There’s sweet and smoky incense burning to dispel bad odors and evil spirits alike. There’s dust in the air and on the shelves. There’s cold stone that footsteps echo off of, insulating the shady interior from the heat outside. There are shelves upon shelves of papyrus scrolls. And there’s a breeze from outside, wafting the herbal, green scent of the local flora and the salty scent of the Mediterranean. History nerds rejoice, you too can smell like a Ptolemaic Egyptian scholar.

On my skin, this smells super smokey, but on my fiancé's you really smell the incense and orange liqueur! This is such a warm, scent. I will absolutely be full-sizing!
