This current formulation is currently in the process of being reformulated so I admittedly jumped at the chance to try the original. It has this powdery, heady quality I find I love in indie scents.
The scent profile fully matches its name. It's sensual but not overtly so. Reminds me of a boudoir or an opium den, maybe both. Its richly and densely floral in a way thats almost fuzzy, very reminiscent of sticking your head into a bouquet of flowers or even the whole bush, just to come out dizzy with petals sticking to your face and hair. I truly believe this would be beautiful mixed into an unscented lotion.
100% a white floral, yet it doesn't have that skankiness nor is it too prim and proper. It balances the Madonna-Whore perfectly, it's Charlotte York in the trashy lingerie slip. I honestly pick up no vanilla or almond, if I had to guess I would say the shea and Queen Elizaneth (orris) root is what gives it that soft, fuzzy quality and prevents the florals from getting too sharp. It's also possibly why I think it would be great mixed into a lotion. That traditional *lavender* smell is also missing, you know the one. That dense almost green around the edges smell. Instead I'd say it takes a backseat, being more of a tickle. Rose is the clear star of the show here, not a fresh rose, and not a jammy one either. Purely a powdered rode, but not in a dated way. The fact that these oils are also used for witchcraft makes sense, as it has an almost apothecary like scent. If you're creating a love spell (God forbid) this is what you would anoint yourself in.
It's innocently seductive, wearing it around your crush may send them into a tizzy.
Because it's an oil it's quite potent, projects nicely and creates a scent bubble but when applied carefully Its not overpowering. just intoxicating. Use with caution.
