Frankincense - Myrrh - Rose Maroc

If you're like me, you grew up wondering 'Just what is Frankincense and Myrrh, and why is it an appropriate gift for a new born?" This scent smells like an archetypical myth. The ones where the hero must journey into the abyss, to a place where nothing grows, nothing is hoped for and nothing can be had. And from this place the hero must retrieve what he came for: that which is most precious. This is why it's a gift to new borns, because infants, who have no olfactory library to reference, sense this and know "Ah, this I remember!" That said, how does RM's version hold up? It's good, quite good, and I give it a 8 out of a 10. i would like to see more longevity, but I do think that the price is reasonable for the quality. worth trying, but if you are a serious collector of attars i would look towards the Orient, as Westerners tend to take more liberties with their archetypes. (edit: i don't think she is using the highest quality ingredients here, which will be noticable to those who have sniffed the comparisons)

Medieval is the word that best describes this scent to me. I love it's richness, it's darkness and mysteriousness. Rubbing this dark oil into your skin seems ritualistic somehow, as though you are enacting a scene from hundreds of years ago. This scent is darkly sweet, but kept from being cloying by the dusky, earthy notes. A Keeper!

This is one of the best perfumes for me. It's a divine spicy resinous rose. It's rich and deep and mysterious. Heavenly, and I adore it. Beautiful rich strong sweet incense. So oriental and comforting.

Perfectly executed Chrurchy perfume, simple notes but it smells so complex and addicting. Perfect touch of rose as well, not overly sweet

Dry, almost dusty (in the beginning), and yet smells somewhat soapy on me. It's as if a very high-quality oil was poured into an exotic, fragranced wood container, hidden in a desert, and was left to be found by someone special ages later. I feel like I should be wearing this with a long dress of some sort, that's dark, thin, and made of airy fabric; hair long and blowing; light, strappy sandals; and black eyeliner...walking around in some desert oasis. This is like extremely high quality incense, minus all of the extra smokiness I usually get from incense-laden fragrances. It cries out *PERFUME*, but in a sensual, come-hither sort of way. Very resinous and intoxicating. It lasts a good long while (on me), and I only have it on one wrist. I get sensational wafts, every now and then, that make me feel clean, exotic, and somehow, even cool in this hot heat of Texas.
