The Lilies and Languors of Virtue 2024

Recommended Posts

Calla lilies and lily of the valley with white lilac, narcissus, osmanthus, asphodel, and Egyptian musk.

 

Could you hurt me, sweet lips, though I hurt you?
Men touch them, and change in a trice
The lilies and languors of virtue
For the raptures and roses of vice;
Those lie where thy foot on the floor is,
These crown and caress thee and chain,
O splendid and sterile Dolores,
                  Our Lady of Pain.

Wow, I'm surprised there are no reviews for this yet 👀 I'm not sure if I'm anosmic to the floral notes but this is fruitier and brighter than I expected, predominantly tropical but dainty sweetness. Both calla lilies and narcissus (daffodils) are rather musky and dank to me in real life and I caught a ghost of something like that when wet, but it seems to have dried off! This vaguely reminds me of CocoaPink's Just Breathe (vanilla bean, vanilla orchid, lilac, lily of the valley, cactus, exotic fruits, pale musk), which also read rather fruity and sweet to me as well so i believe it's a scent perception issue on my part.
