RoseThornAndOak Report post Posted April 3 (edited) Okay this maiden has just touched down from her flight, so we'll see how she fairs many a Spring to come, but, oof her entrance...or en-trance... Poinsettia Gown took off her hot, stuffy, red taffeta, to reveal a sylvan dress that moves like the air, shimmers in white and pale gold, bedewed in moonlight, her skin turning luminous on contact with that olde orb's gentle beams. This is a wild and free, springtime, Elfen Gown. I don't find it as strong on the cream as PG, I suppose her preferred moisturizer in Spring is dew captured in elfcups mixed with cream elixir. Nothing too tangy either, like in some milk notes. The sandalwood is not heavy or sharp, not even too dry, bairly a whisper of it with the vanilla smoothing it and the other notes out. I do not find the vines too green or forward either, more hidden and shy, letting the blooms fluorish and take in the night. This is a different honeysuckle than I'm used to. Less headshop incense/frag oil, more fresh, sweet, and with more depth. Alhough I have yet to find a hyperrealistic honeysuckle, I do like this more than most other honeysuckle blends. The florals read white, nocturnal, and glimmery (a little powder, but the other notes make up for it) so it still has that elegance of PG. Oh Poinsettia, she's running with the wolves tonite she's treading the trail of elves, barefeet, let her hair down like the mist across the pond Through sweet blooms and soft-shimmered woods, she besmittens all forest creatures with her joy and fairy abandon. TL;DR: Spring Poinsettia Gown, dewy white floral vanilla cream w/ lite green & woods Edited Sunday at 09:08 PM by RoseThornAndOak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghoulnextdoor Report post Posted April 7 A Persephone-inspired composition, minus the pomegranate! How incredibly marvelous, I love it already. Instead, a pale floral incense with a core of bleak woods. The release of a bitter, burning, frozen heart. A bleeding fist breaking violently through the earth, clutching a soft bouquet of pallid blooms. A blackbird's shadow in the snow. A weeping spider biting through its tears. A spill of grief transmuted through the incubation of dreams. An exhalation of fading winter memories. A weary spirit in two halves, the beauty of how in escape you kept both. A wrist ringed with the ghost of spring blossoms you'll never smell. All the springs before you yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Assimbya Report post Posted Monday at 01:03 AM I have been a little bit obssessed with this one; it feels really like the essence of early spring to me. The honeysuckle nectar is sweet and fresh and pale green, gently enveloped by a smooth floral vanilla; the whole has an incredibly lovely creamy sensibility without being at all foody. I don't get the sandalwood really at all, which I am perfectly pleased with. I find it both intoxicating and innocent, deeply joyful. I don't personally experience it as at all similar to Poinsettia Gown, which I found very heady and perfumey. As a lover of Persephone who doesn't like wearing pomegranate and as a lover of spring, I am so very happy to have this one, and it's rapidly becoming a new favorite.

BetteNoire Report post Posted Wednesday at 06:55 PM You reference Persephone, and I'm hard pressed not to buy it. Especially, echoing those above, if it's an interpretation without pomegranate. But this, this is a miracle. I love those gossamer, shimmering fae floral perfumes and my skin always makes a mess of them, turns them to idole or to soap or to powder. Not here. This isn't anything like Black Lily but it does have a shared quality of flickering lights among shadows. This is no Bath&BodyWorks honeysuckle, it's realistic and somehow smells like you are smelling it at twilight. The other pale viney florals I can't identify but they are dewy and floaty. Normally these kind of words mean something smells juvenile, but no, this is pretty but also ageless and wild. I don't get any cream but I think that combined with an almost Morocco-esque dry vanilla sandalwood just marry it to the skin so it lasts. And last it does, my boyfriend thought I had reapplied during the day because he kept getting fresh wafts of it even though I hadn't. Not overbearing at all, just present.
