    Orb Weaver Spider

    East African black patchouli, lilac, lavender, Italian neroli, King mandarin, Terebinth pine, and star anise. This is such an interesting patchouli blend On wet, its mainly lavender, lilac and citrus (from the neroli and mandarin). And as it dries, the patchouli comes out... and it dries to a citrusy patchouli blend. I'd recommend this to anyone who was afraid of patchouli. It's citrusy, light and clean.

    La Toussaint

    La Toussaint is a scent for All Saints' Day: falling leaves, crushed maple, bouquets of bright chrysanthemum, frankincense, white chamomile, and pale, dry wood bark. Un parfum pour la Toussaint: feuilles tombantes, érable broyé, bouquets de chrysanthèmes brillants, d'encens, de camomille blanche et d'écorce de bois claire et sèche. La Touissant has an intense green edge to it - I think its the leaf and maple. I get a bit of mum, chamomile and frankincense. It's greener than I thought, and leafier, but again, very autumn-esque. Good throw and wear length.
