bheansidhe Report post Posted Tuesday at 08:12 PM This is a cold white floral AND a sweet incense smoke AND a spicy clove-blackened lavender at the same time, all bottled up in orris root soap like a trio of baffled genii. It's clean skin, but also a clouded smudge of myrrh. The clove never dominates, but lends a spicy quality to the floral notes. The lavender is astringent and herbal, but also mild. This winds up smelling like a really, really expensive French soap on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doomsday_disco Report post Posted Wednesday at 11:25 PM This one really didn't jive with me. I don't know exactly what is causing it, but this is a sweet sort of floral scent that verges on being bubblegum-y even though there's no pink lotus here (is it this particular lily note combing with the orris or something?). The orris and pale amber notes add a powderiness to the scent, and there's nothing that the clove and lavender can do to make the cloying floral and powdery aspects of this scent enjoyable for me. I kept recoiling whenever I sniffed this, so I guess this was just a particularly bad fail for my skin chemistry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
