BPAL review: Aizen-Myoo

[telophase]

Aizen-Myoo

BPAL description: From the Excolo collection. A bright, bittersweet scent honoring the Japanese Deity of Love and Passion. Aizen-Myoo is one of the vidyarajas, the Shingon's Radiant Kings of Wisdom. Though Aizen-Myoo possesses the lust, grace and passion of both genders, he most often appears to his followers as male. His face is screwed into a fearsome demonic mask, but this is only the wrathful, fierce countenance he places over himself to guide and empower his children. Aizen-Myoo is the patron of prostitutes, of joyous, unbridled sexuality and of all forms of erotic love and is worshipped by all those in the sex industry, musicians, and - oddly - landlords. Yuzu, kaki, and mikan with cherry blossom and black tea.

In vial: A tart scent, a bit reminiscent of cleaner.

Wet: Still tart, almost lemony. A green scent.

Dry: This is unfortunately developing into a scent reminiscent of a frightened cat.

Notes: The cat had no reaction other than irritation that I woke her up out of her mid-evening nap to smell my wrist. The notes that made it smell like cat pee to me were just too strong for me to want to wait it out and see if it changed. Pity. I wanted to like it. Off to the swap pile!
