Prema

Very incense-y at first, to the point where I actively disliked it. I felt like I was walking around in a hippie health store. But when it lays down... ooh. *chef's kiss*. The rose stands out with a perfect level of sweetness after about an hour or so, and keeps going for most of the night. Very friendly, clean and bright, with just a tiny, classy touch of sensuality. Good for when you want to play it safe but not boring.

I received Padma and Prema for Christmas. Prema is VERY rosy, although the fragrant, pungent feminine rose is balanced with masculine earthy sandalwood. Although this oil is full-bodied through and through, interestingly it opens with a sort of clean scent, like a soft whisper. It is followed by a clear, deep fragrant boom then trails off as a whisper again. Overall, the scent is exotic, earthy, intoxicating and incense-like.
