BPAL: There are two types of vampires that humans, and often other vampires, need to be wary of: the Interfectors and the Tombeur. The Interfectors are ruthless killers, ultimate hunters who view humans as livestock. They are brutal, but not necessarily cruel, and rarely toy with their prey. Universally, Interfectors perceive their transition into the vampiric state to be an initiation into a higher state of being, not transcendent or spiritual in nature, but rather a promotion to the top of the food chain.
Ruthless, unfeeling, and inhumanly violent: tobacco, sharp woods, frankincense, and bunn.
2010 Review:
In bottle: Sharp, strong, a tad smoky. The frankincense is quite strong with the woods providing lots of support. The tobacco is present but more retired. I have no clue what bunn is, but I’m guessing it’s that fascinating pungent thing, hinting at malevolence. It fits it’s description well, I think. The frankincense has teeth and the bunn suggests something old and dangerous. It is a masculine scent, definitely more cologne than perfume in affect. Wet: My skin eats it, rather to my surprise. It’s delicate cologne with a wood base and the bite of frankincense, and a hint of something sweet and dry. Wait a bit and the tobacco/bun slinks out of hiding, doing some quite lovely things with the wood. As it continues to warm, the elements recover and embolden. It’s more balanced on my skin and vaguely aquatic, though in a way that’s hard to define. It is tamer now, a drawing room tiger rather than a hunter in dark alleys. The frankincense nibbles sensually rather than bites hard. The incense and wood hints at the Crowley crowd rather than sudden death. Dry: Glorious. It’s this pleasingly androgynous blend of the elements. The bunn and wood and frankincense and tobacco all slur together into something uniquely lovely, with a healthy throw. I think this is my favorite frankincense blend. It can be an awkward scent, and doesn’t always play well with others, but here it has the perfect playmates. I’m wondering if one of the woods is cedar as this is reminding me vaguely of tombstone.
