A deep and darkly spicy Oriental. Not sweet in the slightest, but very dry, earthy, and wintery. Strong frankincense, oakmoss, myhrr, and cloves. This is an essential oils fragrance from the DSH...

Speaking of Shakespeare--this fragrance was a 5-act play. Act I: "Why did I think juniper would be OK? Seduced by reviews again!" Act II: It smelled like booze. Evergreens and alcohol. I guess that...

I won't cover scent here as its been wonderfully done by previous reviewers. I will say this is a wonderfully warm, aromatic winter scent. Mysterious, dark and evocative of sparse winter...

Deep in the mountains, in the thickest of woods, there is an old cabin planted in damp earth. Campfires have long died down, the rings of stones grown cold. But slippery from centuries of moss...

On me this fragrance was a dead ringer for Tabu by Dana, which just so happens to be a fragrance that I loathe. So while this fragrance wasn't a winner for me, if you happen to like Tabu and/or...

I smell mosses and trees, patchouli and incenses. It's very dark and loamy. It's very Northwest Washington and the Pacific Rain Forest. It's what you might smell from an overhang above the bay...

This is very unique. It smells like mulling spices. The scent is mysterious, precious, and dry. I get a lot of clove scent which I love. There's just a touch of resinous warmth, but not enough...

To my nose this smells like the forest after a good rain. Pines and wet earth. Pleasant but not the kind of thing I personally would like to smell like.

Upon application this scent did wonderful things for me, but after an hour or so this just did not jive w/ my chemistry. Atleast I have a lot more to chose from. DSH is awesome!

It reminded me of a cedar Christmas tree my grandfather would cut behind our house in the field. Our home smelled of cedar. This smelled just like it-not a subtle cedar but an in your face...

Incense. Crisp like winter air. A clear, strong, resinous, resonant oil with mysterious depths.

Well, this is unique to say the least. I tested this before a long bicycle ride. Pre-ride this had a definite foody, spicy quality to it that reminded me of indian spices and incense. After...

Oh, lucky, lucky ME! This was the first sample I tried from DSH, and I'm falling all over myself! Dark and churchy, this smells like the BEST smelling incense & candle store you've been in mixed...

A little cousin to Messe de Minuit. Resinous, dark, incense-y and intense. It even is a dark colored liquid in it's vial! Not for everyone, but if you like a fragrance with a bit of mystery, than...

I truly love this fragrance. Is it soft? No. Flirty? No. Romantic? Absolutely not. It's in your face, dark, earthy and seductive. Will most people like it? Probably not. It's perfect for me.
