BPAL review: Midnight Mass



Midnight Mass

BPAL description: From the LE - Yule 2005 collection. This perfume is a traditional Roman Catholic sacramental incense, most often used during a Solemn Mass. Traditionally, five tears of this incense, each encased individually in wax that has been fashioned into the shape of a nail, are inserted into the paschal candle. This is, of course, represents the Five Wounds of Our Risen Savior. Symbolically, the burning of the incense signifies spiritual fervor, the fragrance itself inspires virtue, and the rising smoke carries our prayers to God.

In vial: Light, with a hint of incense.

Wet: Scent of a candle, with a hint of incense. Faint woods.

Dry: The woods keep coming out as it dries.

Notes: The cat sniffed it and was all "Yeah. So?" Nice, goes to nice woods, but then fades pretty quickly. Glad I tried it, not worth grabbing a bottle before it goes off sale.
