ليلك أسود | شمعة معطرة كبيرة

The powdery drydown is what sold me, it settles into something warm and slightly smoky instead of turning sweet. Burned it for about three hours in my bedroom and the throw was strong enough to reach the hallway without being overwhelming.

Burns evenly and the incense note really comes through, not just the lilac. I do wish the throw were a bit stronger in a large room, but it’s a lovely, moody scent for a bath or hallway.

The lilac note is pretty but the incense is barely there, and I expected more of that dark, powdery depth. It burns cleanly and the jar looks lovely on my dresser, though the scent barely carries past a few feet. Fine for the price, just not the boudoir mood I was hoping for.
