This taps into everything I love about the pageantry of old school religion. The sacramental incense, the smokiness mixing with the burning candle wax, the hint of spiced communion wine, and something baser lingering in the back.

Maybe it's the musk, maybe it's my overactive imagination, but there's something forbidden here. In all honesty this plays like something straight out of a romance novel for me.

The priest, resisting temptation before coming to you in the dead of night, the scents of liturgical incense on his clothes, his breath laced with cherry communion wine as it dances hotly along your skin, and the candles burning out in the background as things get just a little unholy.

All in all, I'm in love with this fragrance and I NEED a full bottle.
