alonewiththemoonA hawk just screamed overhead, and dozens of pigeons, starlings, sparrows and whatever else is outside my office window instantly dove as one for cover. She's the queen of the air, no doubt about it.
Forgot today's BPAL in my last post, Black Forest: "This is the captured scent of a cold, moonless night, lost deep within the darkest wood. Haunting and desolate, this scent evokes images of fairy tale tragedy and half-remembered nightmares. Thick, viscous pine with ambergris, black musk, juniper and cypress." It is indeed woodsy and may not be doing my allergies any favors. It's pleasant, but some note in it reminds me of an element of many men's colognes to the point where I keep thinking some guy must be standing near me. Might be the black musk. Sort of makes me want a gin and tonic. Then again, that might just be life and not the oil at all.
As an update to yesterday's review of Saturnalia, i would add that it smelled much better by the end of the day, but I found the smell of it wet really unpleasant. Might be ok for candles or potpourri. Definitely has staying power, I could still smell it on me this morning before my shower.
Hee, the hawk did it again. I bet she's doing it on purpose :)
