Coyote Moon: Cacao Dust and Ashes
doomsday_disco replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
The ash in this duet makes me think of standing next to a campfire as the ashes flit through the air and make their way toward the ground. The cacao note cozies up to it, but the ash is definitely stronger on my skin. There's no sludgy cacao here (which I would have loved), if anyone is curious, and the scent itself has great throw and can be smelled without me even having to hold my arm up to my nose (although I still did that for testing purposes). I like this, but I don't think I need more of this duet. (I think I prefer Baby's First Krampuslauf.) But I'm looking forward to layering this with its moon to see how that goes. -
Les Pleurs is mostly about the myrrh on me, and it's a dark myrrh, not the soft, powdery, cuddly variety from scents like Bastet. The stone note is next in prominence, making the scent seem even darker. It takes a long time for the beeswax note to show up on me, and although it eventually emerges and adds a bit of welcome sweetness to those very bold notes, there's not enough of it here to think of this as a beeswax scent. There's no acrid smoke note or vetiver in the blackened amber accord, so I wouldn't let that descriptor put you off of trying this if the other notes appeal. This isn't something I need more of, but if you are looking for a dark resin and stone scent, this might be up your alley.

I concur with the above review! This is Creamsicle perfection and my favorite of the rarities and b-sides that have been released over the past year. The mandarin isn't bitter, medicinal, soapy, etc. -- anything that could go wrong with a mandarin note is not present here. The vanilla really is like a billowy cloud that just floofs out over time, complementing the mandarin perfectly. It's already in the 90 degree range here in March (UGH), so I've already taken it upon myself to order a bottle. I couldn't risk this orange and vanilla goodness selling out!

Democracy will not come Today, this year Nor ever Through compromise and fear. I have as much right As the other fellow has To stand On my two feet And own the land. I tire so of hearing people say, Let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day. I do not need my freedom when I’m dead. I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread. Freedom Is a strong seed Planted In a great need. I live here, too. I want freedom Just as you. – Langston Hughes A scent for community, for communal power, for collective justice; a fragrance of sustenance, comfort, resilience, justice, and the stubborn belief that sweetness belongs to the living, here and now. Crusty brown bread still warm from the oven, golden wheat, clover honey, sweet butter, oat milk, chamomile, and a soft breath of vanilla.
