Berry Moon update

Here's what I think.

 

BERRY MOON

A golden summer musk with warm fig, orange blossom honey, sweet blueberries, and bright velvety crimson raspberries.

 

Not for me, I'm relieved to say (because I have no money to buy it anyway!). I like the sound of golden summer musk, and maybe fig, but nothing else here is my bag.

 

STINKY

A cure for sweaty bits and sticky wilting. Stinky is a summer refresher ‘foom for people that don’t dig run-of-the-mill “clean” scents: newly-washed skin with a dusting of rice milk, white honey, and baby powder.

 

Hee-hee! Also not for me.....but if this wasn't inspired by little Lilith, I'll eat my hat! : )

 

APEROTOS EROS

Unloving love: benzoin, Indian musk, massoia bark, myrrh, ambrette seed, galbanum, bergamot, and fir.

 

This is probably the most interesting thing on the whole update for me. Indian musk might be soapy for me, but otherwise I'm game for an imp.

 

 

WHOSO LIST TO HUNT

Sensual brown musk, rich amber, English rose, oak bark, and moss.

 

Just not calling to me......brown musk sounds powdery, and I'm not very much into rose.

 

ALICE’S EVIDENCE

Containing nary a neutron of meaning: rum-quince-cassis with prune and a bit of black ginger.

 

This could be interesting, but I'm not a huge fan of fruity scents (which seem to abound in this update!), so I'm probably safe to pass on this one.

 

ALL IN THE GOLDEN AFTERNOON

A bizarre blend of pineapple, tangerine, tobacco, apricot, and seltzer coated with hazy amber and heady sun-baked flowers.

 

More fruit! I like to eat it but not wear it. Of course there are exceptions to every rule.

 

TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE BAT

A sparkly, batty little scent: green tea, melon, mint, lime rind, and champagne grape with lemon balm, mullein, and toadflax.

 

Again, a little too fruity for me. I really don't like melon, and probably not champagne grape either.

 

IMPERIOUS TIGER-LILY

(Tiger-lily, ginger root, neroli, purple fruits, and frankincense.)

 

I actually kind of like Tiger-Lily. However, I generally steer clear of neroli, and again, there are those fruits.

 

SNOOTY ROSE

(Red rose, oud, plum, bergamot, and red sandalwood.)

 

Not to be snooty, but no rose for me, thank you!

 

HIGH-STRUNG DAISIES

(Daisy, pink carnation, pink pepper, and sugar.)

 

Hee hee.....the story makes me giggle.....but very much not a scent for me!

 

BRUSQUE VIOLET

(Violet petal, violet leaf, osmanthus, orris, mint, and opoponax.)

 

Hmm, never really got into violet, but I wouldn't be against trying this. Maybe I'll tack on an imp when I order again.

 

HOW DOTH THE LITTLE CROCODILE

Chocolate peppermint, mint-soaked vanilla, pistachio, oakmoss, and green cedar.

 

I'd be more interested, if not for the chocolate note. Sounds like a fun scent, though!

 

AGAINST IDLENESS AND MISCHIEF

Pollen-dusted honey, diligent tonka, steadfast chamomile, and goodly hyssop.

 

Eh, I am really not into honey. Definitely not for me.

 

‘TIS THE VOICE OF THE LOBSTER

A woody, musky-weird base glooping over with blackberry preserves, a twist of mandarin, strawberry juice, pulverized watermelon, and a handful of smushed gardenia petals.

 

Well, I like woody, musky weirdness, but that's about it, out of all those notes!

 

THE SLUGGARD

Pious frankincense, angelic gardenia, unsoiled pear, and staunch ho wood conflict with prickly, overgrown thistle, idle labdanum, and lethargic lavender.

 

This has potential, I just can't imagine what it will smell like! It might be the biggest 'wild-card' for me, in this update. Definitely worth a try.

 

So, overall, I'm really relieved that I'm safe from just about everything here! I was a little worried, but now I've got more time to save up for the upcoming goodies.
