doomsday_disco Report post Posted December 2, 2025 Alas my love you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously For I have loved you so long Delighting in your company. Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight. Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady Greensleeves? Alas my love that you should own A heart of wanton vanity So I must laddie think alone Upon your insincerity. A sorrowful 16th-century love ballad reimagined as a yuletide hymn: heavy bolts of oakmoss-colored velvet, a heart of gold weeping sticky tears of balsam.

marared Report post Posted January 5 Freshly landed decant. I ordered it partly because I'm a long-time Loreena McKennitt fan, partly because I love oakmoss. I sniffed without checking the notes and I was like "this smells like ... cloth?" How does Beth DO that? It literally smells gold and green. The cloth impression goes away as soon as it hits my skin, and the oakmoss picks up steam almost immediately - which is just fine with me. I am not really picking up the balsam, but this is overall very dry, warm, resinous, and I don't know if I'd call it Christmassy but it works fine for a winter season scent. It is quite strong on my wrist, but not a whole lot of throw, although that might change with some body heat. After about five minutes - oh, there's the balsam. It's still very oakmoss heavy. Adding a full size bottle to my wishlist pronto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
