Wow, I love this scent so much! I've been wearing this and Samhain non-stop for the past three weeks. This is a gorgeous, clean, freshly cut apple, that has been dipped slightly into the murky juices and crushed pulp of an ancient, otherworldly apple.

 

This apple is pretty consistent both wet and dry, and lasts about six hours for me. I would say that the contrast between the depth of the black patchouli and prettiness of the apple blossom becomes more prominent after the first hour or two of wear.

This scent has a medicinal, mint toothpaste kick that immediately shocked me and transported me to a dilapidated, ghost-ridden dental office. This minty, icy-hot toothpaste quality never relented, even after hours of wear. Creeping through the wreckage of dental procedures gone wrong and seedy toothpaste overdoses was dust, distant dried lilacs, a trace of wood paneling...and more toothpaste...the echoes of fresh toothpaste intermingled with the desiccated reality of toothpaste past its prime and left to rot in the old, abandoned dental office.

Wet: I'm getting sugar and strawberries melting over hay on a hot sunny day. As is dries, the wild carnations enter the picture, as well as the faintest hint of french lavender.

 

Dry: The hay, carnation, and lavender meld into something fresh, dry, and most definitely wild. Some time after it dries the vanilla cream appears, but it is very soft, and sort of smooths out the harshness of the sugar. These elements, combined with the dominance of the strawberry candyfloss, make for an exuberant, exciting springtime fragrance that registers as surprisingly complex for such a sweet scent. This scent takes me to a land of free afternoons where the possibilities for play are endless. The more I wear Round Dance, the more I find to enjoy.

I love and collect powdery, candied violet scents. This one is quite special. It's dry and sweet, with an underlying sugared woodiness that enlivens the violet and brings out its playful side. This is a true joy to wear. I'm thinking about getting another bottle.

Rendezvous at the Bath smells exactly like the scent description, and I'm so happy with it!

It is a sophisticated green tea and cucumber scent that is fresh, soothing, and gently invigorating. I was also pleasantly surprised by its longevity because I generally have lower expectations in this regard to these kinds of light/ fresh scents.
