A foresty scent with a shot of something sweet, almost tart. I was worried about the spikenard but it's not aggressive. Green and brown tones blended with a streak of lilac, this scent is earthy and fun. Sweet, woodsy, floral.

Frosty lilac and wild lettuce when first applied. It smells of the earth without smelling particularly like soil or any dampness. Really gorgeous and floaty feeling, like bright blue light. The dry down brings out the white chocolate and mixes with the lilac. BPAL does lilac so well. This one in particular is stronger than say the lilac found in Vigil of the Harvest Suitors, sharper and fresh from the sprig. A unique scent, quite ethereal and bright.

Goes on with rose and resins, quickly morphing into a very pretty rose incense, freshly lit. A red rose in full bloom, with something behind it smelling sweet and juicy, almost tea like. I also smell a lot of the red champaca and it blends in beautifully. I can smell the rose and champaca both distinctly, yet it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. It stays pretty true to a rose incense with hints of labdanum after some time on my skin. It started to cross over into soapy territory at one point, but never quite got there.
