... Tears of Angels Fall Silently ...

Broken Wings
carved in stone
buried in dead flowers ...
(Sweetsmell75)

The Decay of the Angel is a fascinating fragrance
that lashes through your synapses
stirs the soul
provokes thought ...
that enslaves you
shows you your dark side!
But it also touches you deeply inside ...
calming your soul piece by piece.

About the scent:
The Decay of the Angel starts harshly with incense-soaked bitter citrus notes and dried flower petals. There is nothing beautiful to be found in the opening ;)
Green tones with creaky wood plus jasmine stink follow the further development of the scent with a veil of smoke that lingers until the end.
With dry oud (no barn smell!) resin, earthy patchouli and to soften it
a sweet hint of tonka bean, it moves into the base.
Sweet is rather a foreign word for this scent ;)
*Resin-Wood-Smoke-Earth*
I can't assign the scent to any season ... it is definitely unisex.
The sillage is not that strong and it lasts a good 7 hours on my skin.
Personally, I prefer to wear the scent just for myself ;)
The bottle and the packaging are simple/beautiful.
The name of the fragrance could not be more fitting ... the scent reflects this
exactly!

Conclusion:
Healing balm for the soul!

Category exciting! The name is great since "decay" has a thousand meanings, so everyone can pick the one that suits them, even the unpleasant ones, like when the jasmine smells too strong... ;-)

What intensely detailed lines about a fragrance that I haven't quite grasped yet... I need to give it a second try ;)

I like the scent, but it didn't make it to my wishlist.

The scent journey could describe what an angel goes through after traversing the vastness of the universe. From incense to jasmine stink (great neologism) to mustiness, it has it all. Good thing readers don’t have to experience everything themselves to be part of it ;-)

Pine-wood-smoke-earth isn't really my thing at the moment, BUT if you're so enthusiastic and moved, there must be "more" to it... and that's already making me curious. Thanks for your super interesting description!

Wow! Such an expressive text :-)
I don't think I'm there yet with those intense scents! I'm always looking for something dark, and then I feel uneasy... I'm still practicing :-)

I probably wouldn’t want to wear it, but I found it quite similar. Only for me, it ended with a smoky baby cream.

Your comment is beautiful, but unfortunately, I can't say the same about the scent. Dark fragrances just aren't my thing.

YES. That's exactly it, a balm for the soul. I think it's really, really great-slightly melancholic, quirky but beautiful.
