Lucy's Kiss

[Assimbya]

To me, this seems to be the same rose note from Fleurs du Mal - soft, perfumey, and slightly dry. The Victorian spices are subtle at first, but lend a classic perfume sensibility, and on drydown the rose recedes a little and the spices take over. Though the rose reads to me as dry, I can see the sensibility that other reviewers are describing as watery, and in fact, smelling this without being told what it was, my partner thought it was an aquatic. This definitely reads to me as pre-vampire transformation Lucy; I don't get darkness from this. It reminds me a bouquet of dried roses resting on Lucy's vanity.

 

This doesn't last very long on me at all; less than two hours later it's basically gone. It's lovely and I'll definitely use my imp, but I don't think this is among the roses truly winning my heart.

Thank you labbies for the frimp! Sadly, rose scents are better in theory than on my skin. Lucy's Kiss reminds me a bit of Rose Cross. It's a dusty, mysterious rose. I am curious what the Victorian spices are. Unfortunately, the rose dominates, and I just can't make out the other notes. I am passing along this frimp to my friend, and I hope she likes it more than I.
