Wild Strawberries and Amber.
-
Prune and Nag Champa.
-
Satin-lined coffin wood stained with dried blood and a whiff of long-faded cologne, dusted with grave soil.
-
Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment. A strangely serene scent: French lavender bud, woodmoss, cypress, amyris, white cedar, labdanum, and bergamot.
-
Lavender absolute, indigo champaca, Hojari frankincense, cananga flower, agarwood, soft mosses, labdanum absolute, twilight sandalwood, Bengali oud, lime rind, and a drop of cacao absolute.
-
A boon for all who long for dismal, dark days, shivering sheets of rain, grey skies, and chill air: a bouquet of bright summer flowers dampened by the scent of morning mist and rain. Note: This has the same scent description as the 2004 version.
-
Bourbon Vanilla and Teakwood.
-
Chestnut and Rum.
-
An infernal prayer: black poppy absolute, dried rose petals, opoponax, black labdanum, kyphi smoke, and honeyed oud.
-
Red Poppy Pod and Blue Lilac.
-
Wild Strawberries and Patchouli.
-
A fuzzy black scent flittering in bittersweet shadows: 11-year aged patchouli, dried blackcurrant, wooly tonka bean, tobacco absolute, toasted vetiver, and a sprinkling of sugar crystals.
-
A mermaid’s delight: pearlescent orris butter, polished coral, lilac-blushed choya nakh, ambergris foam, osmanthus petals, salt-crusted driftwood, honey dust, white grapefruit peel, cerulean musk, golden flecks of sea-speckled amber, and bittersweet mimosa.

I was so hoping to love Mouse, since the artwork is so cute, but I think it might be too sweet for me! This features a very syrupy hazelnut note that dominates the scent throughout wear on me. At first, it's accompanied mostly by the warm hay note (that makes me think of the hay from Rendezvous With Her Lover Behind the Rice Straws), but then it's mostly the spicy carnation and cream notes that I get with the hazelnut over time. On me, this is quite gourmand, and definitely one for hazelnut fans.

Twin Starts is mostly a bright, citrus-y patchouli scent on me. It's a blast of lemon rind at first, but the patchouli quickly joins in, as well as a bit of lavender. The combination of fruit and patchouli is reminding me of a recent Astrid scent I tried called Mischief Maker (but aside from apple, that one featured different fruit notes). It doesn't take long for this to be patchouli-dominant, although the lemon never completely goes away, and the cashmere and (non-funky!) resinous oud notes pop up in the background during the late dry down. The bergamot and apple wine aren't super distinct to me, but I wouldn't be surprised if those notes were lurking behind the lemon in the initial citrus blast. This is more patchouli-centric than I had imagined it would be, but I'm not mad (although I was hoping that the lavender would play a greater role). While I don't think this is something I need a bottle of, I'll probably hang onto my decant!

Note: I haven't tried the original 2004 version. This starts off strong with a bitter neroli or orange blossom note infused with some orange pith, accompanied by some rain. The rain and mist notes are smooth and are not salty, and although that aspect of the scent starts off backing the orange blossom or neroli, the aquatic notes eventually overtake it, so that it's mostly rain and mist with a hint of (now less bitter) orange in the background. It's kind of like an orange peel getting spattered with rain. I'm not able to pick out any other flowers, but neroli and orange blossom are generally very loud on me. I preferred the late drydown of the scent, but I don't think I could power through the initial blast of orange blossom or neroli to get there.

A fable in scent: bone-white sandalwood aged with beeswax and balsam, crushed grass and juniper berries, ambrette seed, and lupine musk.
-
River reeds, fen violets, water lilies, starfruit, wild berries, lily of the valley, and climbing roses.
