Cold Moon: Lotus Root and Golden Amber

Lotus Root and Golden Amber.

i was intrigued by this one and unsure what to expect with no reviews! i'll try my best to capture what it has going on. in the bottle is like candy sweet, almost like a strawberry/berry candy that i'm guessing is the lotus maybe. freshly applied the sweetness is still there but more in the background, like there lurking under the golden amber. as it dries the sweetness fades even more, it's there but not taking over or announcing itself at all. i think this is the amber from a few other golden amber trio blends. overall as this dries it becomes super light and has almost like an effervescent powdery skin musk vibe, like someone took a bath and then put on a candy scented body powder (not in a baby powder type of way but like a there-but-not-there, kind of a sheer scent type of way). obsessed. it's a very complex and gorgeous two note blend. this seems somewhat on the lower throw for me but feels like it would make a great scent for when i want someone to have to lean in closer and smell me!

This started out as very fresh aquatic and soapy greenish floral on me – a slight sweetness, but not the pink bubblegum sweetness of the lotus flower – definitely more green/ plant-like. 
 

As it dried down, the soapiness faded a little and more sweetness came through but the aquatic vibe remained. No amber yet. 
 

Half an hour in, and the amber is now there but it’s a glow-y type rather than a dusky one and it’s not really a main player. The lotus root still has some sweetness, but it’s no longer a floral sweetness.. it’s a little more earthy. Still smells aquatic and soapy. 
 

I’m not sure what I was expecting from this one – I guess I had a softly sweet amber in mind? But overall this is just kind of unremarkable on me – it smells like I’ve used a hand wash named something like “Floral Springs”. Or just used a roll-on deodorant that claims to smell “fresh”.
