doomsday_disco Report post Posted July 23 Grand gestures, zero apologies, and one unifying appetite: to be adored. Glamorous leonine amber glimmers with impossible beauty, threaded with an unexpected flourish of sultry blooms. His scent opens with a theatrical blaze of warm cognac, aged beeswax candles, and feral lupine musk. At the heart of his perfume beats Medieval French church wood, incense smoke still clinging to the stone, all aflame with the black leather, sweet brandy, and glam-glittered crystalline musk of a rock god.

wilhelmscream Report post Posted August 5 In the bottle: Hard to detect any specific note. More that you activate another mood layer which each inhale. It's warm and sweet, it's musky and woody, it's smoky and cold, it shifts and it shimmers in the darkness. On the skin: At first, I pick up on the cognac and brandy, and the leather and stone. Faded, stale incense smoke and wood begin to show. The lupine and crystalline musks work together, creating something both dark and luminiscent. Overall: I mean, that's Lestat. Intoxicating and mysterious, still hard to pin down a specific note, it's just an AURA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abejita Report post Posted August 11 I detect none of the booze notes and no sweetness of any kind. It’s cologne-y and kind of raw-smelling. The leather smells raw, the stone is raw, the wood is raw. The musk is the distinctly non-mellow kind. I’ll be putting this one away for a time in the hope that the jumble of rawness pulls together and becomes something wearable for me.

LavenderCoffee Report post Posted Thursday at 10:39 PM apologies, but I cannot resist being the first to say: Lestat Lestat Lestat Lestat Lestat! this is an intoxicatingly magnetic musk. like eyes-rolling-back levels of deliciousness. I wonder if Beth was already thinking of Lestat when she blended the 2024 Wolf Moon, bc I'm picking up some of that dna in this glorious composition. it really opens up on my skin after 30 mins or so, and reads quite warm to me, leaving no doubt about the leonine inspiration. the leather and liquor notes don't draw as much as focus as they have for me in other scents, but they are absolutely present in the blend. I also want to say the church wood might be oak? but I could be entirely wrong on that. everything threads together beautifully, and OF COURSE there's a generous amount of sillage. I just love everything about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
