Boney Moon: White Lilac and Moss Hair Gloss

White Lilac and Moss.

If you are reading this in time to buy it, and you love lilac, you do NOT want to miss out on this one.

 

This is a heady, slightly indolic and moody, timeless floral with enough mystery to entertain you all on its own, but with an elegant simplicity that plays well with many complimentary or contrasting perfumes.

 

Secret garden vibes, with lush green moss creeping over the cool gray paving stones, branches of lilac heavy with morning dew on a cloudy spring morning. It's heady, true, heartbreakingly lovely lilac in abundance, with just enough moss to provide an atmospheric, outdoor garden sense of place. Creates a gorgeous fairytale cloud of lilac scent that lasts many hours when worn in your hair.

I really adore this one and am so so happy I decided on a somewhat profligate whim to blind bottle it.

 

This is definitely a hair gloss for lilac lovers only, but for those of us in that category it's an absolute delight. The lilac scent here may be pale but it is also full and billowing and a little intense; I'd agree with @tajana's description of it as slightly indolic in their lovely review above; it's unabashed in that quality, heady and intoxicating. The moss is very much a grounding green undernote, sinuous under the waves of floral. Excellent longevity and strong throw, just barely on this side of being too much lilac for polite company.

 

This has quickly become a very treasured hair gloss for me; I love wearing it with one of my lilac perfumes for a full lilac experience (it subtly contrasts beautifully with both Eusapia and Lorrainna, bringing out each of their nuances), and am enjoying starting to try pairing it with other perfumes (it was lovely matched with Datura Blossom last week).
