The Donkey's Tail

[doomsday_disco]

Each purchase of Gloomily, Gloomily comes with a 1/32 oz imp of the Donkey’s Tail. The Donkey’s Tail is not available for sale on its own, and make sure you keep it safe as you never know where it might end up.

“That Accounts for a Good Deal,” said Eeyore gloomily. “It Explains Everything. No Wonder.”

 

Doubles as a bell-pull: a beribboned strip of French lavender, bourbon vanilla, silver thistle, grey musk, pink silk, and well-loved grey cotton.

So much fabric going on here! The cotton and silk are prominent. I noted in my review of Gloomily, Gloomily that it was a scent with texture. This one is even more tactile, somehow. It brings to mind Dorian, Tattered Lace, and They Shut Me Up in Prose.

For me this reminds me of laundry in the best way. Not detergent or soap, or even clean clothes, but the way it smells when you walk out into a cool autumn morning and someone nearby is running their dryer, and how the air around that home smells warm and cozy and clean. There’s a sense of lavender, but not a specificity; this scent is very grey and pink.

 

Compared to Gloomily, Gloomily, it does feel like a flanker-type scent. They share an atmosphere and similar notes, but this is a little sweeter and brighter. I think it could probably stand on its own, but it does smell delightful if you wear a bit near, but not necessarily layered with, Gloomily. They complement each other beautifully.
