wordinistaWell, I promised ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
katmaxwell I'd review Aziraphale as soon as I could. So here goes nothing. :D
Here's the description from the BPAL forum:
Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide. Two of these were wrong; Heaven is not England, whatever certain poets may have thought, and angels are sexless unless they really want to make an effort.
Ethereal musk, blonde woods, and dusty Bible accord.
(And a link to the reviews, for those interested...)
In the bottle:
I'm not sure what "blonde woods" are meant to smell like, but the first impression for me was definitely musky and woodsy.
On me:
It's warming into a nice scent, I've got to say. (Personally, I prefer the Crowley scent, but do quite like the Aziraphale scent, so hubby got a hole in one on both of those.) On me it's very... hmm. The musk is toning down nicely and the woodsy scent is still there, thought not as sharp. And ... yes, there's a faint scent, which I imagine is meant to be "dusty Bible accord" that reminds me vaaaaguely of incense. It's worth noting that when I first put it on, it smelled a bit like "old lady," which amused me more than it should have.
So. In the end, I like both scents, but am just a tiny bit fonder of Crowley.
Which, if anyone knows me, is how it should be. :D
