Hi Ladies,
this was an extra sample that I received yesterday in my (very first !!) order. Rather serendipitous, I never would have thought to order it based on the description. I'm pleasantly surprised at how this smells
Blessed sacrament does smell like bread, in the bottle. Yeasty, warm, a bit cake-like. Almost like you were eating a thick hunk of artisan bread while spritzing a light perfume on yourself. Once I applied it this suggestion immedietly started to dissapate, the yeasty-bread smell faded and the scent became brighter (not cold though) and feminine. Frankincense resins are sharp smelling when burned (i lived in Saudi Arabia for 1/2 my later teens-i have burned enough frankinsence, myhrr and gorgeous sandlewood enough times to qualify as an honorary magi!),this fragrance is well blended, the myhrr & frankincense are there but softened by a dusty, soft incense blend.
After awhile, all the individual notes really got to know one another and the result became a light/soft incense with a smidgen of dryness, round and warm on my skin. There is a mere whisper of the bread, could be what's making it warm.
It doesen't screech at you at all, it's a lovely warm and light fragrance-it holds hands nicely with my body chemistry. Yesterday I overloaded myself with all my new samples ( I now know not to eat and have a couple of vodkas while covered in perfume oils)! One of the first ones i tried was sugared patchouli-i'm new here and haven't figured everything out yet, but so far the sug. patch. was a bit cloyingly sweet on me (duh, sugared, now i know what the 'sugared' does to scents). I'm dissapointed! Like you gals say, perhaps I'll shelve it for awhile and let it age, too bad, it's a bottle.
I put my second order in yesterday and amongst the many vials, I included a sugared honeycomb full bottle; now I'm leery of the sugar component turning the honeycomb into that cloying sweet effect i got with sug. patch. Oh, well, if i don't like it i can always trade with one of you lovelies!
But I digress...to quote my heroines Patsy and Eddie (ABFAB), this scent is absolutely fabulous. I would/will wear it in the daytime as it is so soft and warm.
