BPAL: Penthus

[cerusee]

PENTHUS (Excolo):

The Greek God of Tears, Patron of Mourners, who dictates and accepts honors paid to the dead. He is the personification of grief and the sorrow and emptiness that comes from loss. Weeping is his hymnal, and this is his perfume. Salt tears over white roses, the fumes of thin funereal incense and the hollowness of calamus.


Not bad. Harsh in the bottle, but on the skin--incense and deep melancholy, without the headache-inducing bitterness of Whore of Babylon. No legs AT ALL. Almost totally faded within an hour.

There is a background vegetative smell to this, but it's nothing I associate with roses. It's a bitter, uninviting sort of flower smell, not something I'd choose to scent my house or to make potpourri, and yet, something still comfortingly planty.

I don't like having all the reviews in one post.

[askerian]

Fair enough.

And then how would anyone who was interested in reading them know it'd been updated? :D

When it's updated several times in under twenty minutes, I doubt there would be much time for the first post to be buried so deep in the reader's friendlist that he'd miss the fact that it actually changed. Considering that, to miss the following updates, he would have to catch the post very shortly after it was first posted, and then not come back to it for days.

So scroll past it, dude. I don't post all that often; you're not obliged to ignore my spam more than once a month or so.

Eh. I've got approximatley way-too-many people on my friendslist and I work at the computer all day, so spastically reload LJ about every 10-15 minutes and with that number of people, there's a lot of updating that happens. I, for one, would miss it - I often miss posts that someone started and took 20+ minutes to write and then posted without changing the time - it gets sorted earlier into the list when it finally shows up, and only see them when someone else links to it.
