In the imp (aged): Kinda smells like a vintage perfume bottle that has dried up over the years, but sweetier and fruitier. Wet on skin: Fruit with powder, but there IS a gossamer sort of quality to it. Drydown: Oh darn my chemistry, its going to straight powder-wait. There's something playful and fun behind it if I smell closely. Its kinda like a blanket of cleanliness and soap with a cute little fruit-smelling creature beneath it. Maybe the peach? Hmm. I wanted to like this one as I love peaches and all things faerie, but alas its mostly soapy heliotrope for me. I'm still looking for the perfect fae-like/huldrfolk scent. Glittering Apple of The Stars gives more of an otherworldly quality and works much better on my skin than Fae. Its kinda morphing into something vaguely nice, but this would be much better for someone who is looking for a clean/powder scent with a hint of fruit. =)

I wanted to like this blend so much! The imagery reminded me of The Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness, a favorite album, so I was delighted to see the last person to post a review's SN is Porcelina! This blend smells fruity and whispy in the bottle and wet on skin. It soon turns soapy/powdery in the drydown, with the fruit coming through intermittently. Even now that it is aged it still smells of powder on me, unfortunately. Hopefully the two bottles I bought will go to a good home.
