It’s my heritage, and I can be silly if I want to. Tayabak petals, loose and dreaming, butterfly pea steeped to deep ink-blue, languid, heady sampaguita, sweet jackfruit, and calamansi beams radiating from an ube-purple moon.

Fermented savory-sweet depth lifting sweet, hedonistic blooms.

Cedar and graphite illuminated by a light citrus zing.

Velvety, sun-warm stone fruit soaked in smoky tea.

Foresty and carnal, heady blooms twined around a mossy log.

It's actually really interesting and smells amazing. Trust me.

Husky, warm spice cooled into watery, spa-touched notes.

Spicy heat biting through springtime sweetness.

Sweet enough to rot your teeth, smoky enough to not care.

Sunny acidic brightness slicing through deep, animalic wood resin.

A surprisingly elegant combination. Boozy, bruised sweetness anchored by smoky grass.

This starts off with the crushed dandelion stems and honey before deciding it is mostly going to be a floral scent -- and I don't know what pansies smell like, but I think that's the floral note I get the most of here. There's a hint of fruit in the background, but I would not describe this as a fruity floral, at least, not on my skin, as I get more honey with the pansies than strawberries. I tried this twice and never smelled the vanilla, but maybe that would become more noticeable with age. I think that this smells pretty, but there are other currently available floral-heavy scents that call to me more, so I don't need more than my decant.

Girl and Butterflies is mostly a black oud and lavender scent on my skin, with touches of the lilac and poppy, a airy quality that must have been from the ambergris, and a bit of brightness that must have been from the white tea. I tried this twice and never ended up detecting the sweet pea on my skin. The oud is not funky whatsoever -- it just smells deeply resinous. Paired with the lavender, it smells a little perfume-y, but it's not high-pitched. As the day goes on, the black oud increases and strength, and the lavender calms down, yet never leaves its side. I think this smells nice, but since this scent didn't make me swoon and there are other lavender scents available right now that I want back-up bottles of, I do not need more of this.

This starts off as a really lovely sugary, nutty scent, but the sugar party disappears as the benzoin asserts itself and declares dominion over all, accompanied by a little earthiness. I really enjoyed the wet phase of this scent, but I was sad once the resinous benzoin note took over.

Forsaken Elephant Puppet

I was fortunate to receive a tester of this from my decanter. Forsaken Elephant Puppet is predominantly a cuddly cotton scent on me, with sprinkles of kettle corn strewn about, on a base of white amber. I didn't really get the honey from this on my skin, but that's okay with me. This was fun to get to try, but I'm glad I didn't fall hard for it since I didn't love the 13 with which this was paired. 😅
