    10/16, a couple Alkemia testers that it turns out I’m just not really into.

    Ammil (an olfactory journey that morphs like melting ice… starting cold and aloof with distinct elements of wet snow and ice then gradually unfolding to reveal an indescribably unique velvety skin warmth). The “cold” only lasted a few minutes on me, and it warmed up to what I’d describe as a light skin musk with a bit of sweet incense and a warm wood.

    Moss Maiden (crushed wet ferns, calamus root, cedar tips, galbanum, balsam pine, moss, lichen, dried leaves, and aromatic incense woods). I get the green notes from the bottle, but they were gone almost instantly from my skin. I’ve got the aromatic incense woods, maybe a little dried leaves, and some cedar. It kind of reminds me of old clothes that have been stored away in a cedar chest for a long time.

    I may end up trying to clean these away and sampling something different instead. I think I’m finding that Alkemia’s incense and woody notes are really strong on me (and long-lasting, if Athame is any indication) – which would be great if those were the kinds of scents I liked. But, alas…
