splendidissima Report post Posted September 12, 2024 Oh, gosh, I don't know if I want to be first, because my experience is...perplexing? *laughs* It goes on very grapefruit, which is fine - I like grapefruit, though it's not my absolute favorite! But at first that's all I'm getting, with maybe a little whisper of something...else? amber? dragon's blood? After about thirty minutes, I entirely forgot I was testing it, and I was watching a travel video on YouTube, and I suddenly thought...ooh, something smells good! Oh, wait, that's me! I think the vanilla and amber musk and angelica seed decided to pop in and temper the grapefruit into something really lovely and complex. There's some sweetness, some amber, something lightly summer-herbal (like the way the old BBW Lemongrass Sage smelled like the end of summer, if you remember that? It's not either of those notes but it has that....faded shimmery sunshine feel?) About twenty minutes after that, it is soap. I have no idea what's happened. It's a very pretty soap, fancy and luxury and probably herb-infused, but it's still soap. Something has kicked in and stampeded over everything else. This is dreadful, because I love that previous stage! I do have a scent locket, so perhaps I'll try it in that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theredkilt Report post Posted October 29, 2024 (edited) It's a red bursting juicy grapefruit. Over time it loses its zest and spark and mingles with a creamy clean floral musk. Later: an incensy brown smog of dragons blood come out and envelops the pink grapefruit. Quite unexpected ? Edited October 29, 2024 by theredkilt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
artisjok Report post Posted September 11 Wearing my one (?) dragon scent in anticipation of this year’s splurge being shipped, it’s so pretty. The grapefruit is front and center, even lasting the whole wear length (incredible!). I would have guessed that the resin was benzoin, if I was smelling this blind. Maybe it’s the combo of the dragon’s blood and the vanilla silk, so not a heavy DB. The musk is sheer and a perfect anchor. Floral elements are imperceptible to my nose, but would be totally expected to be blooming around this fair dragon. Really great for summer, or just as an overall mood lifter. Repeat after me: “I am pretty.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
