Lesbian Maidservants Cavorting with a Tortoiseshell Dildo

Polished amber and honeyed teak draped in red silk brocade and soft mosses.

I not-so-silently wished for a teak forward scent in this collection and my wish came true! The acidity of the teak is counterweighted by a strong honeysuckle note, and the "polish" comes in the form of just a touch of waxy lemon. This scent is Snow White running across a mossy forest floor in a swishy dress, carrying the stolen Mirror on the Wall.

Wow… I was kind of unimpressed by this one fresh out of the mail but it is really settling into something spectacular. 

 

Cavorting, indeed! This is one joyful, tumbling scent: wild mosses and a gorgeous “wildflower” style honey made bright and airy by the red silk brocade. Underneath is dry, mulchy, teakwood. Totally agree with the woodland fantasy vibe mentioned above, especially the “running” part! Like running barefoot through the most enchanting, sun-dappled deciduous forest over mosses and twigs with no regard for how you might be getting scratched up or what might be getting caught in your hair. It’s a somewhat odd interpretation of the visual data of the artwork because of the outdoorsiness of the scent, but Lesbians Cavorting is true to the spirit of that carelessly tossed aside crumpled paper. 

 

Out of its fellow Lupers, Lesbians Cavorting has definite overlap with “The Fox Spirit’s Jest,” which is ironically a little more fussy and buttoned up. Even its earthiness seems more self-serious than the frothy mosses Lesbians Cavorting to me. I have been collecting red silk scents despite not even being so wild about the accord on its own; the lab’s silk notes just seem to add life to any of their playmates. This is different enough from my others that it might warrant a spot in my collection. I just need to decide how many bottles I am able to limit myself to from this out of this world update. I mean, how could I pass up this kind of carefree joy in a bottle? Honey lovers, moss lovers, silk lovers, and teak lovers, rejoice !

Honey and teak and a red brocade or silk. Those are the notes that really stand out to me at first upon application. After maybe fifteen minutes or so the amber and mosses become more noticeable to me, and yeah I think they're is maybe a hint of citrus that could be the polish perhaps. This is a fascinating scent and my third experience of BPAL's silk note, and I really like the silk note. The red aspect reminds me a bit of red musk, but it's definitely the silk note and not musk.

 

I love this one very much and want a bottle.

Sniffed in bottle and wet on skin: Teak is the strongest note right from the start, with a sweet amber playing second chair.

 

Drying down: The scent is warming up and smoothing out; the soft green note of the moss steps in quietly; lastly, I think I'm finally picking up a fabric note from the brocade

 

Completly dry: this is so gorgeous and warm and sexy! the notes end up blending beautifully, with the teak and amber the most prominent notes throughout the drydown; the honey is definitely present and the fabric (which mysteriously does give off "red") and moss come out later in the background, adding complexity to the blend. Really glad I picked this one up, it's become the favorite of my Luper buys this year!

 

Amusing side story: Yahoo email has started putting an AI-generated summary of an email at the top when I open it. When I got my shipping notice from BPAL for this order, the summary said I would be receiving a package of perfume oils ... and a dildo. The best part is, it took me a minute to realize what was actually being referred to and I was just surprised that sending dildos as free swag with our orders was even financially feasible. It never occurred to me to be surprised that BPAL would do that for Lupercalia. Once I realized it was just AI foolishness, I laughed my ass off!
