Apparently, it’s Clovesday

The first half of the day belonged to Heaven Can Wait, a surprisingly spring/summer outing for clove. Tonight, though, I’m longing for autumn and warm scents. Along with the listed notes, I get clove and cinnamon up top, a floral in the heart that’s not quite rose, and sandalwood in the base. Odd that sandalwood isn’t listed, given that there’s real sandalwood oil and santalol in the formula. This is not a solo night-in scent, but I’m enjoying it, and the tale it’s spinning of low lamplight, walls tented with lush fabrics, a jazz combo grooving in the corner, and an old flame enchanted anew.
