The Third Veil

[Jenjin]

Separation, the veil of distinction. A tumble of pearly pale-blue chiffon shot through
with slashes of white ginger and lined with ivory satin rosettes.

Love this one!  If you like light, sweet perfumes, this is for you!

Wet: Juicy ginger.  Light musk, with sugar.  Hint of floral.  Mmm.

Dry: sweet blue musk.  Clean and unobtrusive.  I'd wear this daily.  I love me some blue musk.   Lasts quite a while.

Fresh, citrus opening, don't know if white ginger lacks the bite of regular ginger, but i can't make out any ginger. Nice, but doesn't last on my skin, and it's too simple and linear for me. Will stick with my decant and try in warmer weather, might allow it to express itself more.

Very light, sweet, and fresh.  Effervescent.  Really nice.  I think I'm getting some fruity notes?

This one confuses me a lot (without offending me in the least). Sniffed, I get .. sexy ginger ale without the bite? A very green, vegetal vanilla note? Something powdery and light blue? 

 

What it IMPLIES is that you are floating across the sunny lawn at a garden party wearing a giant, GIANT flower-bedecked and tulle-veiled hat, something that treads the line between 40s starlet and 80s church lady, an ankle-length sundress (not a caftan), and comfortable -- yet kittenish -- strappy sandals. While sipping something refreshing, ginger-infused, and deceptively non-alcoholic. Enjoy. 

 

ETA: creamy, powdery, sweet ginger-ale musk at drydown.

In the imp I get juicy ginger and I *think* blue musk. Something that recalls sweet, fresh 'watery' scents without being straight up aquatic. All backed up by that beautiful silky vanilla. The ginger gets a tiny bit more fiery and herbal on my skin, help breaking up the airy sweetness. Absolutely beautiful.

 

ETA: after watching Tom's review I realised that I was of course getting white rose in what I interpreted as a vanilla silk. It's a soft creamy rose that melds beautifully with the surrounding notes.

Unusual, spicy but refreshing, creamy and sweet and floral.... Clean but sexy. Harkens to a really high end niche perfume (which BPAL is in my opinion, they just don't charge eye-popping prices for it...) that someone's rich aunt might wear. She took french at her London university but only because she was already fluent and needed the credits. Sometimes she smokes weed and watches the sunrise on the balcony of her beachfront apartment and is quoted as saying "the morning seasalt styles my hair better than any products I put in it!".

 

She visits Japan three times a year, but not Kyoto, no, she goes to Okayama because she "prefers the food and culture". She eats oysters raw for dinner, washed down with three dirtyyyyy martinis every Friday. She wears a lot of 80's cream, baby blue, angelic pink and pale orange silks from vintage reclaim stores, paired with chunky silver jewelry from small and upcoming designers. Sometimes she favours linen but usually for weekend errands. 

 

 I hope to be her someday. Glamorous in a weird way. 

 

AS FOR THE ACTUAL SMELL OF THE PERFUME white rabbit & Alice went on a long cavort through a strange psychedelic waterworld. I know that sounds insane but this has the same clean, sweet and herbal scent as white rabbit, but ALSO the ginger and the "ivory rosettes" read similarly to alice's warm and spicy floral thing-and of course the blue musk notes make for this weird watercolour filmreel experience.. like you're watching this strange, sordid adventure on a fuzzy projection screen.

 

Sillage: Arms-length scent bubble, that ginger really anchors it to my skin for some reason.

Wear Time: Pretty good, 6 hours full strength with a lovely creamy late drydown that lasts for 3 more hours. fab. 

 

10/10 I'm Better Than You's.
