Gehenna by Solstice Scents is a fragrance for women and men. The nose behind this fragrance is Angela St.John. The fragrance features Musk, Amber, Egyptian Musk, Woody Notes and Agarwood (Oud). Gehenna is a very dark fragrance with red musk as the dominant note, followed by rich prominent dragon's blood. Smoke from eternal fires billows in the background followed by a subtle addition of resinous myrrh. Egyptian musk rounds out the sharper notes of the blend and contributes to a lighter, less ominous dry down. On cold sniff and initial application, Gehenna is strong, powerful, rich, and musky. The scent showcases the red musk and dragon's blood in the foreground with a smoke blend following just behind. The myrrh is subtle but blends with the amber and oud to give body to the blend and temper the smoke notes. After journeying into Gehenna for an hour or so, a halo of Egyptian musk emerges from the darkness - tempting the senses with its white light and calm resonance. This scent leans masculine but is a great choice for women who enjoy dragon's blood and incense-based fragrances.Gehenna is very much a head shop/new age shop fragrance with the prominent notes of red musk and dragon's blood.
