    I wish I could smell the spice people are talking about but all I can smell is LEMON. It's just reminding me of a lemon drop with maybe the barest hint of spice.Not evocative of Egyptian musk or...

    I really liked this when I first put it on. It smelled like what I imagine orange blossoms would smell like with a little spiciness/incense in the background to add some sass to the fragrance. ...

    Wet: I swear to god it's Life Saver's incense. Drying: less fruit-candy, still that strange incensy smell. So far, still not me. Dry: Slightly Pledge-like lemon with that odd incense-spice....

    An odd grape/raisin/spice mix, which has an acrid smokiness in the early stages that reminds me too much of Hellfire. Luckily that goes away, and the whole thing morphs toward Scherazade, but I...

    I got an almost grape-like smell when I first applied it, but that faded very quickly. As it dried, it became sweet, thick incense, and then I realized it was almost identical to the Nag Champa my...

    Lemon, lemon, lemon. The whole lemon, and nothing *but* the lemon. In fact, the drydown is quite Pledge-y on me. Not that that's a Bad Thing. I'm just telling you what it smells like. The strange...

    Wet this reminded me a lot of Old Athens. It has the same smoky wine flavor though it doesn't remind me so much of marinade this time. There must be a blend of honey, myrrh and red wine like there...

    Old Cairo promised on the BPAL website to embody the smell of Kyphi - an ancient Egyptian incense that (made properly) smells like pure magic. I adore Kyphi but haven't been able to find it out...
