BPAL - Graveyard Dirt
"A tribute to a somehat nefarious and truly notorious ingredient in New Orleans spellcrafting. It is employed in hoodoo rootwork for various reasons, primarily in spells of protection, “tricking” your enemies, binding, and even love magick. The graves are chosen based on the type of working, and are determined by the type of spirit that lies there and the manner of their demise. Payment is always required in the form of offerings to the deceased. This is the scent of pure graveyard dust, spattered with grave loam and dusted lightly with tombstone moss."
oh yes. this smells like dirt. fresh, moist potting soil. the finest loam, just after a rain. it so took me aback that after i sniffed the bottle, i laughed and said out loud, "ohmygod! that's amazing!"
on my skin, it quickly turns to cedar, like fresh cedar shavings. i love the scent of cedar so i don't have a problem with that. however, it disappears without a trace within mere minutes. i finally put some on my hair where it seems to be holding up better.
