BANDED SEA SNAKE, Carnival Diabolique (LE): (Company says: Snake Oil with oakmoss, sea moss, and olive leaf.)

Snake Oil usually needs aging to be good, so this will likely only improve with age, though I can't imagine anything much better than this. In the bottle: Oh my God! I'm already in love. It's got this tobacco store thing going on. there is vanilla over the wood oil that makes up Snake Oil, modified by glorious mosses and leaves. Very masculine and very exciting. Wet: as above. The various botanicals mingle though, bringing to mind wet rocks jutting out into a wild November sea. The tension between the sweeter elements and the herbal elements is quite exciting. If you like snake oil, you'll love this. Dry: If anything, it grows richer, the dragon's blood base doing strange and exciting things with the sea snake components. This is a real winner, folks.
