BPAL review: Kali

[brigdh]

Kali


Website Description: An 'Excolo' scent. Kali, the Black One, is the fearless Goddess of Destruction, Creation, Energy [in her Shakti aspect] and Dissolution. Also named Kaliratri [Black Night] and Kalikamata [Black Earth-Mother], she is the fiercest aspect of Devi, the supreme mother goddess. Kali is a protector Goddess, the destroyer of evil spirits and guardian of the faithful. She, along with her consort Shiva, represent the unending cycle of death and birth, sexual union, creation and destruction. Kali annihilates ignorance, maintains the natural order of the world, and blesses those who strive for spiritual awareness and knowledge of true holiness with infinite tenderness and motherly love. The constant, unending Work of Creation is called the "The Play of Kali". This perfume is a blend of the sacred blooms of cassia, hibiscus, musk rose, Himalayan wild tulip, lotus and osmanthus swirled with offertory dark chocolate, red wine, tobacco, balsam and honey.

In Vial: Chocolate oranges. Almost overly, sickly sweet, like flavored lip gloss.

Wet: Chocolate orange flavored sunblock.

Dry: Lotion.

Notes: Man, this is so disappointing. This is the scent I was most looking forward to when I ordered it, but it's awful on me. I even tried it three times to be sure, but yeah, lotion. Not even a nice lotion.

Maybe let it age a bit? Sometimes the scents change when they've aged a little. Don't quite know how it works, but apparently it does. *shrugs* (Makes them sound like they're alive, in fact. Heh.)

I could try that! It'd be more productive than my sulking at the bottle, anyway. *grins*
