I'm sure I have already smelled this scent...it reminds me of an old closet, or it was a seamstress lab. it's surely "dry", as dried flowers in a wooden closet. It smells dry wood, dried flowers and old fabrics...and it's definitely "ossuary", it it makes any sense! It's 3am now, I put it on my wrist yesterday at 3pm and I can still smell it, very faintly, and I've washed my hands several times! It may be also a masculine scent....for a warm loving man who doesn't like stuff like vetiver, musk, "green" scents!

its gorgeous!!! My #2 in my BPAL charts (#1 is Dragon's blood and #3 is Lady Macbeth)
liquid: melon...melon and lemon
on my skin: light canned fruit, melon, pear, a little tangerine...not too sugary, not vanilla/almond, not flowery. It's fruit, faded fruit, light fruit, not girly, not sweet, not soapy, not "Strawberry Shortcake doll". It's "25-years-old". I love it!!! (yes I'm 31, but that doesn't matter )
after 5 minutes: a very very light cherry syrup, but really light and again, not sugary at all.
after 10 minutes: fruit candy...and it's fading soon
after 30 minutes: still fading and it may seem pink grapefruit juice...as when you spill fruit juice on your clothing and you can smell it. Still delicate and nice, but it fades quickly

I thought that the "heart" would have been "pink", a "love heart", Hello Kitty style....no, this isn't a pink heart, this is a pulsating heart from he underground, the centre of the earth...
Thi is more resin to me, more wood. Dragon's blood reminds me of magenta juicy fruits, Dragon's heart is when those fruits have become old and dried and they're covered with incense, resin and pepper. A strange description, I know! Not the right perfume for me

smelling: wine+berry, something dark magenta!!
on my skin: raspberry+caramel! Dad says "berries yoghurt"...this is nice and I knew I'd have liked it! It's purple, indeed. Not lavender, not mauve, not dark greyish purple. It's jewel purple, it's a purple berry. on my skin the wine note disappears...I'll keep it!!

Persephone
in Excolo
liquid: rose with something else, an oil scent that I can't recognize
on my skin: rose. Nothing more.
after 5 minutes: a very little honey, but very little, I mean 5% honey and 95% rose:) Mom says there is also something stingy, maybe pepper. Good, stronger than "London", but unfortunately not for me, I have already traded it!

I got it last year as gift and it was "my" perfume!!! Really, the girl that bought it for me must be psychic, because this scent reflects me perfectly!!
First, to me it isn't "commanding and powerful". It's feminine! It reminds me of a basket of juicy magenta and red tropical fruits dripping red and magenta juice, with magnolia and jasmine flowers in. But it isn't nothing commercial "tropical juice", it's sooo feminine, fruity, lightly floral (but not green or rose!!!), very lightly metallic (resin?) and it reminds mom of Lido, an island near me that delimitates the lagoon from the sea: city Lido has many art nouveau villas with large gardens and magnolia trees. Yes, it's indeed fruity magnolia...and it's my signature perfume!!!

liquid: oriental, like Bastet, same oriental "background"
on my skin: still the oriental background, no flowers, no fruits. Dad says "tobacco", mom says "cloves and something stinging, maybe pepper". Maybe patchouli? Not for me, I have already traded it!

London
in Wanderlust
liquid: Victorian rose!! So light, delicate and nice antique rose!
on my skin: I can feel less rose...and there is an oily note, I can't recognize what it is. Mom says: it's like baby perfume. I can smell something grass too.
Not the right perfume for me, but perfect for a minute delicate girl!
-
liquid: flowers, like a flowers liquid soap. At first I said "it's sooo medieval!!" and it reminds me of the mille-fiori background on the Lady with Unicorn tapestries.
on my skin: still flowers, but a little warmer: the "soap" note disappears and it's only flowers, nor green, not "rosey", this reminds me more of a light yellow, a little compact powder maybe, or like my hairdresser's shampoo. It reminds me also of the scent that you smell when you enter a perfume shop
after 15 minutes: I smell something more fruity, but still "perfume shop"
after 30 minutes: it's something like an expensive perfume....I usually don't like them (maybe it's the alcoholic base?), but this is nice, though not the right scent for me!

old flowers. This is an old lady's floral perfume that remained untouched for 80 years, then discovered again in an old abandoned home. It was a light floral scent in 1920, but the alcohol disappeared and the floral notes became heavy. This is Morgause now, heavy floral...Not for me, I have already traded it!

wet it's cherry wood. No, I haven't actually smelled a cherry wood, but I see burgundy woods, like the real cherry wood that makes the most wonderfil 19th century's furniture. And I smell almond, sweet cherry wood and almond
On my skin it's more wood...dusty wood, less and less cherry. very little mothballs. It reminds me of a wooden table covered with dust and stained with cherry syrup.
after 5 minutes and dry I smell a little....biscuit? something sweet, maybe vanilla bean?
it's a strange uncommon perfume and I think I'll keep my imp. Like Lady Macbeth it's sweet, but "adult" and indeed noble!
