Effortless Oracle - Keeper of Mysteries
I inhabit that one region where the mind enthralls & lulls the image
My Thoughts 
Dare I to introduce this account with the Homeric words Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero[ine] who travelled far and wide in the attempt to find the perfect opening? Perhaps.

Or not, depending on the aetherial winds that do blow in with the light of day. Cruel Apollo, how did you become the patron of the arts? Your bright rays shine harshly, brightly on all, driving the delicate and fleeting thoughts of night into the shadows. Better Artemis to be the gentle patroness of these letters.

Which is what this account shall be. Letters written and set adrift on the arcane electric seas of the computer realm. Dear...

But to whom shall they be written? Myself, lovers, potential lovers, or just to the muses? For those curious eyes that wander the electric seas and find themselves touching briefly upon these shores? For all of the above. Yes for all of those I would whisper to on the wind, in the sound of the sea, in the moonlight, from the sun dancing on wave top...
 Talk to me.

Kumari Kandam - The hollow scent of a vast antediluvian civilization, now frozen and buried, smothered by a thick sheet of ice and trapped deep beneath the ocean. Thick incense, clay, stone, and hothouse blooms with a spike of frost, a hint of decay, and heavy, dolorous aquatic notes.

Initial sniff from bottle - Gley. Wet, cool earth and brackish air.

Wet on skin - I'm thinking that some of the hothouse blossoms are of the citrus variety as a salty lime scent comes out.

Dry on skin - The sweetness of the incense comes out as it dries down, and it turns into a warm scent. Very tricky, and I am put in mind of a scuba diver who finds the city, and is standing there in the warmth of ancient air dripping salt water onto ageless sandstone.

Staying Power & Throw - good. The scent is strong enough to prevent over applying. It has a good staying power and doesn't require reapplication after a day's wearing.

Overall Opinion - I really enjoy this scent. It puts me in the mood to write for Stella Mari/A Map of Eden befor the storms. It's old without being cloying... it just hits all the right notes in me.
