Wet: this is spicy, rich, earthy, sexy fig (though I guess it's probably technically dates). I agree that there's an unlisted honey note contributing to the richness and warming the myrrh spice. I'm not getting much in terms of florals- maybe my partner's skin absorbs those- but I'm not particularly mad about it. Dry: I start to get a whiff of the flowers overtop of everything once this is dry, but it's a subtle layer and the spiced warm fig is still dominating. There's a certain myrrh/honey burgundy richness that this shares with Athens from the GC; it's more nuanced and fruity where Athens is wine-y, but if you like Athens you're likely to enjoy this one as well. I'm sad this is a luper only, but thrilled I decided to blind buy a bottle. To me this is probably best suited for autumn or winter, though I can definitely see the appeal of it sunsoaked in summer.

The was a pretty linear scent for me; the book note does not disappoint at all, either in terms of presence or in accuracy, which is exciting because it was the note I was looking forward to most : ) This is warm without being notably sweet, and subtle without being difficult to smell. Really lovely scent, I would consider it very unisex. Admittedly, part of my interest in this one is that it reminded me of my dnd character... this would be his happily ever after scent, I think.

7 years later and I LOVE this scent. Not sure if the oil's evolved, my nose has, or both (almost certainly both), but I can actually smell the apricot in the bottle now, dry and a little warm. The patchouli has become lovely and mellow. As it dries the apricot is a little less noticeable, but lingers in the form of keeping the patchouli clean smelling, mellow, and balanced. Will definitely be full sizing this for my partner- even if I have to wait a few years for the scent to meld, it'll make a fine vintage ✨

Thank you all so much! I'll be building her such an imp pack

Hi everyone! I was hoping for some recommendations for a friend based on some favorites of hers listed below. Not really looking for dupes, more looking to show her how much more fun the indie perfume world is ❤️ Her current favorites are: Juliette has a gun- pear inc Gucci- flora gorgeous jasmine Bath and body works-mulan Thanks everyone!

Definitely smells like lemon sugar cookies. boozy lemon sugar cookies warm out of the oven. As it dries it gets more lemony. I dig it

Initially it smells like fruitier sprite- not a bad thing! As its drying, so is the smell, moving from sprite to champagne. a sliver of strawberry but more citrus. It's a very clean scent. There's something very sweet and clean lurking that I can't quite figure out. It's maybe a little bit sunscreeny? Personally I kind of like that though. It's a very summer scent that makes me think of drinking poolside. It fades pretty quickly into an aquatic, which works for me

In the bottle: hooo boy that’s strong. And sharp. No apricot to be seen. Wet: still that. Strong, sharp, spicy patchouli. Dry: it’s a little softer, but I still can’t find the apricot. Overall not a huge fan (I was really hoping to be!) but I’ll keep it around and give it another shot.

In the bottle: Flowers! that's it! (to be fair, i'm not sure how cypress or cajeput smell). Wet: The flowers are definitely leading still, Lily of the Valley especially. It definitely smells a little perfumey, but it's not too much. Dry: Oh! I think that's what Cypress smells like! A touch piney, softened flowers, warm. 8 hours later (at the end of my work day): It went musky (pleasantly so), which I'm guessing is the myrrh. Overall really interesting, and while I don't LOVE it, I like it.

Wet: rose heavy. I love rose, so it works for me :) dry: still rosy, but it’s softened into a floral with a couple different notes (I guess that would be the geranium). It definitely smells perfumy, but still good. Don’t think I’d want a full bottle, but I’m glad I got a decant of this way back when :)
