A sleek, seductive eternal slumber: silky ripples of spectral lavender cascading around the labdanum-shadowed absence of a living being.

These sheets are so clean all the sins you committed as Motel Ghost last night are immediately forgiven. This ghost is shrouded in freshly aired, lavender-scented sheets and what I think is clean, unsoiled white musk. This is a sleepy, gentle lavender that could easily float you to the otherworld. It seems there is no one under the sheets, but it casts a shadow of labdanum, all that is left of an earthbound spirit.

This is definitely a lavender and clean linen blend throughout most of its wear, although it does end up becoming more labdanum-forward by the end of the day. The labdanum here is not cola-like like it is in The Death Grapple, but it is somehow more oudh-like (without the stank) than I was expecting.

 

I like the lavender in this, but there's more sheet and resin than I was hoping for, so no bottle for me.

I get lavender and labdanum, and this is a blend that I think matches the intended vibe spot on. It's heavier than I might have expected, but still very soft and sleek. Rich smooth lavender fabric darkened up a bit.

This one started out kinda iffy for me tbh. The lavender reminded me of the one in Lavender Plum Galette which was almost....peppery(?) at first, and there was a note that was coming across as cloying, which I get sometimes with silk notes. But after it's had time to think about it's life, it's now a lovely lavender musk and incense scent, that strangely dries down to something that keeps making me think of nag champa. It smells like lavender laundered sheets in a home that burns incense. Cozy, fluffy, soft, dreamy. No regrets on this one! 💕

Oh man I LOVE this. I have several sweet lavender scents (Paper Phoenix, TKO) and airy lavender scents (Air and the Ether), but I don't have something quite like this - darkened lavender. The labdanum reminds me of the note in La Lugubre Gondola, a rich, sticky, dark amber with a bit of cola-like spices. For me it evokes a comfortingly heavy blanket in a darkened bedroom. The blanket carries a wisp of scent from the last time you washed it. 

 

I bet this is going to age wonderfully, just like LLG has. I adore this labdanum note💜

Beautiful airy lavender and syrupy labdanum in the bottle. On my skin it is darker, more incensey with a slight clean edge (wondering if white musk is part of the 'silk'). The labdanum is deliciously chewy, cola-like indeed.
