A Picnic In Arkham: AZATHOTH
The Daemon Sultan, Seething Nuclear Chaos.
[waffly quote removed]
Azathoth is the blind, idiot god who sits on a black throne at the center of Chaos. His scent is high-pitched and screeching, both impenetrably dark and searingly bright with the clarity of madness: tangerine, saffron, vetiver, black amber and cedarwood.
In the vial: the goop in lemon meringue pies.
On the skin: Oooh, some smokiness warms it up a bit. Sadly, this turns into sour mothballs pretty quickly. Looks like vetiver either goes nice & engine oily, or tarry and sharp on my skin., and this is an example of the latter. I can just about make out the saffron & amber underneath, as a nice hint of incense, but only if I'm thinking about it.
Shame.

The aural whee is Threshold, who are a sort of cross between Rush and (old-style) Metallica. "Slipstream" is cheesy enough to turn up on a Driving Anthems compilation some time soon, while "Pilot In The Sky Of Dreams" is as overblown & keyboardy as it sounds:
It's ace :)
ETA: About 1% of cat macros make me laugh. This was one that did :)
