SPICE MUST FLOW

This fragrance is so warm and comforting. After a draining day at work (mentally, physically, emotionally) I need to just lay in bed. Spend some time disassociating. I've found putting this on when I get home is like a warm hug to my mind. I very much enjoy the scent while collecting my thoughts. It's become a tool of self care, of mental healthcare. I didn't know such things were possible, I'm thankful that I found this.

I won't tell you what it smells like. I'll tell you how it "feels," it's warm, like being wrapped up in a baggy cashmere sweater while snuggled in a deep couch, a cinnamon candle filling the room with ease.

Just got a bottle of this and I am in love. I have been looking for a rose perfume that was spicy and smoky and perfect for fall and winter. This is it! The price tag is hefty, but it lasts forever on my skin. Even when I stop smelling it, other people compliment me on it so I know it's still making its moves even if my nose has started to ignore it. :-) This is a unisex scent, IMO, for fall and winter.

I am a Dune fan and am a little sad about the lack of cinnamon in this perfume as it relates strongly to the novel. The spice, after all, did smell like cinnamon. I just don't notice the cinnamon on me. However, I could definitely see this as being the scent of the Bene Gesserit & Reverend Mothers.

"Thus spoke St. Alia-of-the-Knife: "The Reverend Mother must combine the seductive wiles of a courtesan with the untouchable majesty of a virgin goddess, holding these attributes in tension so long as the powers of her youth endure. For when youth and beauty have gone, she will find that the place-between, once occupied by tension, has become a wellspring of cunning and resourcefulness."

It’s a lovely as described and it lasts all day, well worth the price. One of my favorites!
