    Vixen

    In the bottle: reminds of orange, and a little bit like liquor. Eh. Not overpoweringly so, however, and it's very promising. Not enough perfumes smell like oranges. On the skin the orange (blossoms? I don't smell them.) fades out very quickly, leaving the real scent in its wake. Spicy and just a little bit powdery. It doesn't smell liquor-like anymore, instead it's gotten dry and warm. This one's completely different from the other perfumes I've worn so far, because they reminded of each other a bit. This one's not sweet or smoky, it's somewhat citrus-based and passionate. It has plenty of sharp ingredients, but doesn't have a demanding presence. It just underlines how things already are, in a way. The word that keeps popping into my mind is "hot". After it dries down you can enjoy the patchouli. The ginger doesn't really kick in on me at all, instead there's an edge to the patchouli that I'd have trouble identifying. Very interesting. --No, sorry. The ginger just takes a while, and then it stays. When this happens, it almost gets salty in scent. Like you've searched for seashells by the sea all day, and forgot to wash off. What this reminds me of? A labyrinth of thorns that protects something precious in its center. Absolutely perfect if you want to feel smoldering hot for an evening. This is the scent that implied high heels and sexiness without actually saying it. It's like it sends of a mysterious and confident you've never been with anyone like me vibe, which I like.

    Titania

    A nocturnal bounty of fae dew-kissed petals and pale fruits: white grape, white peach, iced pear, musk rose, sweet pea, moonflower and snapdragon. In the bottle: Fresh pear and grape juice with icecubes. Also, there's no pinapple in this, but it smell like it. Sparkly wet and filled with frozen fruits. It stays light and pure on the skin, although it loses that immediate "drink me!" scent. Instead, we get to discover the different fruits, like grape and iced pear and white peach. After the drydown, the flowers come into play. Specifically the musk rose and something that's slightly less sweet than the rest, almost earthy. It's good they added that, or else the rest would've been too flightly. On top of that, there's a cold pear scent that is determined to stay. It's the sort of perfume that one could image would move in tendrils, like something frozen in a very hot room. Haven't smelled snapdragon before, so I'm unsure where in the scent it features. The scent's very full and clear, though. It's difficult to see where one thing ends and the other begins because these ingredients fullfill each other. This makes it rather difficult to guess correctly, since it's so sneaky. It doesn't last very long on my skin. But then again, it is the sort of scent that should melt away to stay in character. The mental picture I was stuck with was a large, frozen pond with plenty of icetaps hanging from the trees around it. There's a superstition (I can't be the only one that heard this one.) that says that if you look into a pond during the full-moon nights, you'll be able to get a glimpse of the wonders of fairy land: the elves dancing to faint music and eating strange fairy fruit. It's not encouraged, however, because people are supposed to be so enchanted by the sight that they end up disappearing into it. Wearing this perfume feels like you have experienced that, and managed to get away from it more or less unscathed, although slightly haunted by it.
