The Hound and the White Milk Doe

[zankoku_zen]

Graceful, regal, elegant, and cursed: golden sandalwood and liquidambar, cardamom, coconut milk, jasmine sambac, white petal rosewater, and labdanum.

Just beautiful. Fizzy at first, almost a little tropical; I'm guessing that's the coconut milk peeking through. Jasmine sambac really works for me more than any other in the jasmine world, and this is no exception. Sweet, but not cloying. Fresh, but not laundry. Floral, but not overwhelmingly so. The sandalwood and amber are in the background at first, but they appear as this warms. This is absolutely giving me Luper in the Weenies vibes. I love it.

 

Also, if you liked To Lallie, I think you will like this one.

Liquidambar is a beautiful note on my skin, it's definitely one of the predominant notes in this on me. It's giving a warm resinous fall forest when backed with the sandalwood and labdanum. The cardamom enhances that spiced woody-resin of those notes, and is distinct on my skin, sharp and hinting at sweetness, there's something almost haunting about this cardamom.

 

The jasmine is the main floral on my skin, wafting through those woods mysteriously. The plant is not in sight, but it's aromatic blossoms, which feel almost out of season add to the feeling of being gracefully haunted. The rosewater is a murmur of floral support that just adds to that haunting element.

 

The coconut milk adds a beautifully soft, dreamy creaminess to all of this that soothes over any rough edges. Bringing the whole of it to elegant and haunting autumn woods with the memories of other seasons. I love this, and I love it for a fall scent especially!

This is more of a spicy, resinous scent than I anticipated. There's a sweetness to it, but I would never have picked out 'coconut' as a note. I was excited to see how rose would show up here, but I don't detect it at all. I'm not getting any overt jasmine either. If you're a rose-lover excited for a rebelliously floral-forward Halloween scent, this is not that. If you're a rose-hater with a love of resins and spice over a creamy sweet backdrop, this might be for you.

Soft white floral. The sandalwood, liquidambar round out the floral with a really soft pleasant warmth. The jasmine is not stinky nor centerstage. The rosewater and coconut aren't super loud or recognizable, but add to the overall white floral creamy dry palette. 

 

 

The scent isn't sweet, but a lightly dry vague white floral. I tend not to wear this sort of scent but it's really well done. Agree with the above comment about luper release vibes. Regal, graceful, elegant are appropriate descriptors. I find it a bit like something a platinum blonde femme fatale in a noir film would wear.
