Teamama

I love Anne Bonny for its woody, resin-y qualities. The patchouli is very well-behaved, and blends beautifully with the sandalwood & frankincense. I feel like there's some Amber in there, too, because the overall feeling is sweeter than I would expect from patch, sandal & frankincense. I was so impressed by the imp that I bought a 5 ml bottle, and am very happy with it. It's very strong at first, but dries down to a subtle scent. A co-worker, however, asked if I was wearing Jean Nate'! My goodness, noses are funny things.

In the imp: Eurgh. I get mildew, or a moldy orange. Wet on my skin & Drydown: Wood, and dirt, and spice. Sweet. Reminds me of playing in the garden in the summer. Dry: Wood, anise, and a pale pale hint of dirt. This is going on my wish list. Had to buy a bottle. I would never have thought that from the first whiff of the imp! Edited again to add: Yorick has light throw. I didn't wear it at all this winter, but now that it's spring I'm reaching for it again.

Wonderful! I've had a super-positive response to this scent. Wearing it during a chaotic time at work has been soothing and uplifiting. I love the jasmine / gardenia / rose heart of this scent. It's very warm and organic, not fussy or uber-femme. I work in a health care setting, so I've been wearing it diluted with apricot oil while at work. In a dilute form like that, it's subtle, but lasting. 10 stars! I got it as a frimp, and immediately had to buy the bottle. 2022 update: I still love it. These days, I wear it in a scent locket instead of diluting. Good vibrations, for sure!
