Norma Kamali

I got a small vial of this in a trade, and it was love at first sniff. Pure, real incense, a hint of frankincense, more myrrh, and the growly roughness of copal. I have a habit of burning resin...

This has a strange opening - green and fecal. When I was a child, a long time ago (oh, shut up), we knew an old man who lived on the edge between Neverwhere and the Wilderness; he claimed he drank...
