Blood (oranges)

puddingcatToday I smell like .
Blood - Bewitching Brews.
Essence of dragon's blood resin, thickened with myrrh and cherry, with a trickle of clove.
Dragon's blood resin appears to smell of oranges to me. This is the colour of marmalade, and has that Seville orange slightly bitter scent.
On, the cherry and clove stop it being *too* bitter, while myrrh stops it being completely foody. Again, I'm not sure what it has to do with blood, but it's a comforting, rich scent that needs tea and toast to be at home. Smelling it in a modern office doesn't quite work; it creates slight dissonance in my head as my nose expects one set of surroundings while my ears tell me something else. It's nice; nicer than Wrath, certainly.
