BASTET, (Excolo): (Company says: Bast, Ubasti, Ailuros, Ba-en-Aset. Represented as both a domestic cat and a fierce lioness, she truly evidences traits of both. She is the Mother of All Cats, Goddess of Sensuality, Fertility, and a guardian and protector of women. She is also one of the Eyes of Ra, and in that aspect is an Avenging Goddess, seeking retribution and punishing enemies of her people. Luxuriant amber, warm Egyptian musk, fierce saffron and soft myrrh, almond, cardamom and golden lotus.)
In bottle: smells like musk and marzipan. Wet: Very complex and heady. All the expected elements show through, though amber, musk, myrrh, and almond are strongest. The spices give it an unexpected edge, the claws of the cat. This one embodies it's concept well, the musk and amber making the fur of the sybaritic cat woman with the lotus and spice making fangs and claws. Rawr! Dry: Mostly musk and amber, but in a good way. It really does smell of exotic women and desert wind.
