Beaver Moon: Lime Blossom & Amber Sugar

Lime Blossom & Amber Sugar.

[lithie]

Well. This is gorgeous. The amber is deep and smooth and reminiscent of the black amber in the black amber and sugar cane duet from a couple years ago. the lime blossom gives it just a touch of something extra - a hint of lime and the sweetest of a citrus blossom. 10/10

Sniffed: crisp, slightly pithy lime rind, sugar, lime candy, and amber in distinct bands, no blending. There's an initial moment where I can't see how it's going to work together, but I take the plunge.

 

First swipe: wow. This is a deliriously perfumed petit-four straight from the confectioner's case, with glossy white fondant topped with delicate curl of crystallized lime. It smells too pretty to eat and nothing like a resin.

 

Wearing: the cake note gradually softens, deepens, melts into a rich amber puddle. It's a perfect ombré fade from lime to sugar to dark, treacle-y amber. 

 

Damnit, damnit. I didn't need yet another bottle of an amber duet (looking at Amber and Grey Musk), but apparently I do.
