Sich Aufstützender Weiblicher Akt Mit Langem Haar
auraysu replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Limited Editions
This smells a little similar to Traditional Sheet Ghost without the lemon marshmallow- I agree with the others, it's reminiscent of laundry detergent or soap, bright and clean. I really like this, but I wouldn't have expected this scent from the notes, haha. - Today

This is golden honey swirled with the thick dark cola syrup of labdanum, the last honeyed rays of sunlight succumbing to dusk, making me wish dark honey cola actually existed. It stays pretty linear and never gets to the point of being cloying. I can't wait to see how it's going to age.

Just posted a review for the hair gloss, and I bought both the 5ml of perfume and the hair gloss, can report they smell the same on (the hair gloss has more projection, but the scent itself is the same to my nose). I'm delighted to report that it reminds me of a slightly more amber, slightly less sweet version of Dahlia, which has been my obsession for a while now. I know opinions are divided on Dahlia. To me, Dahlia is sweet vanilla and sugary vanilla orchid, all joyful and lovely. Catherine has more amber, less sugar, it's a deeper, more mature version of Dahlia. I don't get much (if any) resin and for those concerned about "melted and honeyed", I don't get honey, a hint of caramel maybe. Of course, ymmv. Maybe with time some more of the dark, resinous veins will pop out. Ha. What a win!! ❤️ It's a risk buying anything full size without an explicit note list, and I hope this review helps anyone on the fence to fall off one side or the other. I'm a little hesitant to say this leans more feminine than unisex, but I'm in my 50s and used to guys wearing pine and spruce and women wearing sweet and floral. However, I'd want to take a deeeeeeep whiff of any person wearing this scent. Kinda makes me want to snuggle myself.

In bottle (impsize 1ml) Amber and caramel. This is 10min of wearing this for the first time and my train of thoughts / associations along with it: Wet On my skin, it smells like a spicy latte with a hint of dried sweet fruit (which is not listed, so that is in my mind). This stage seems foody, like a beverage with soy milk (not listed), cardamon and candied-tea-sugar (not listed). Dry Once this calms down a bit, it has more of a chestnut note as it dries down, ... and briefly feels more like a pastry than a beverage now. ... But my mental image is not where you'd expect it, as I see someone wearing nothing but a fluffy red-and-white Santa-style bathrobe, buttoned up in the front. Uh, surely this mental association is only my own and was never the intention of this scent, uh. ... Ok I think the allspice is starting to mellow a bit on my skin, making it more like a chai tea with rock sugar on a wooden desk, ready to drink; and in my metal image, there is a single decorative chestnut sitting next to that drink, on the table. This reads like a combination between fall and winter. ... Unfortunately, the person with bathrobe now is nowhere to be found now, which is good, cause, like, uh, distractions... But the feeling "it is okay to wear flannel pajamas all day, and to stay inside" stays. There is a calm nutty note (not necessarily chestnut, to me), and the sugar has disappeared now, and I still can read wood, which also is not listed and thus only in my mind... It then stays very balanced and reads "cozy!" to my nose. Conclusion Spicy, rich, warm Christmas themed scent. Safe and cozy.

I think this is the cleanest patchouli I've ever smelled. It's green and fresh, and the hemp reminds me of Whole Foods. Earthy crunchy good-for-you smells. The drydown has more of a familiar darker patchouli but it's faint, not dank or anything remotely close to a pothead. Very enjoyable, once I let go of any expectations.
