Neutral is white cotton sheets hanging on the line to dry on a clear, dreamy summer day. You're on a lawn where you are surrounded by huge white lilies and tuberose. There is no green from the lawn, just heady, orgasmic full white florals and cotton. It's truly beautiful.

This is a favorite immediately. I get cloves...without the nose bite..a soft roundness to them as if they were steeped in simmering cream. Dust and tobacco lend themselves to lighten it up a little and dry it all out. It's the most glorious thing I think I've ever smelled. 10/10. *goes to hoard VB*

Clean, gentle coconut and Shea butter. This is a really linear scent (and I love that about it). No unpleasant twists and turns, no death stages. This is so nice for summer. I really do love it and see this being in heavy rotation this summer once I am able to snag a bottle. P.S. The throw is REALLY low. Definitely a skin scent. It might blossom in the summer heat though, which is a very appealing thought.

wet: To me this is fancy children's shampoo, honey and a hint of earthiness...like mushrooms smudged with earth. dry: Thankfully the earthiness goes away. I love this, I really do. It's totally outside of my normal scope of scent love but it's addictive and it smells just like a warm clean baby nestled up on your chest. I smell Johnson's baby wash and the sweetest honey with a breath of florals blown over the top. later: It's smelling the same as when dry, except for I smell the waxiness of chapstick now? I don't know what that's about. Still really like it though. It's so sweet and strong it's almost cloying though. I've decided I wouldn't wear this enough to warrant a bottle purchase, but I'd be open to getting another decant.

Scent Recs based on your PERSONALITY!
petrichorandleather replied to CiaoBonefish's topic in Recommendations
I'm a 21 year old, aennagram 8w7, Scorpio, ISFP. I was sorted into house Slytherin. I'm interested in Metaphysical stuff, Botany, nature. I love to explore. I get bored easily and don't fancy routine. My style is mostly black, deep forest green, coral....skinny jeans, leather leggings, industrial look with a little bit of 90's Patagonia thrown in haha. I love wearing suede booties and high heels. Black Lace for everyday, Tweedledee for exceptionally cheerful moods and Velvet Bandito for comfort. -
wet: ...wet paint????? O.o dry: lotus always misbehaves on me and it's BS. This smells like nail varnish remover and wet paint. Huge throw, screeching at me. I'm getting a little of an artificial, cloying grapey scent from it too. NOPE. Not for me at all.

Let me first just say that this didn't work out for me and I couldn't be happier that I am not doomed to be an AL lover wistfully clutching at their last drops in their decants and bottles. To me this went on really astringent...no flowers...no linen note (which is usually lovely on me). it's so disappointing. I just smell like really faint, worn off bug spray. I'm missing the magic.

On me this smells exactly like the slightly tart, creamy, flaky coconut batter they use on coconut shrimp. It couldn't be more true to that scent profile. I like it.

Frozen lemon heads rolled in sugar crystals. This is the scent of joy and happiness. I really like it.
-
I smell no honey...I smell something very fresh and I'm most certainly getting heaps of fresh chamomile blossoms. To me it seems to almost go mildly aquatic. I like it but to me it translates into something very unlike its description. I have a 1/3 bottle and that will be enough for me. I really just love the character and am happy to have her namesake's perfume.

I love this one. The mint is really just a suggestion, this is mostly ultra buttery, sinful cookies rolled in sticky red jam and sugar dust. Cloying in the bottle, but sinfully delicious on the skin.

MVJBA: Dog Days of Summer
petrichorandleather replied to sookster's topic in Black Phoenix Trading Post
A languid and loathsome blend of dead wildflowers and smoky, sun-baked grass under a hot, humid blanket of summer gloom. This one's really, really nice. Beautiful. At first, in the bottle I smelled a very alcoholic note and worried. It smelled like straight rubbing alcohol with something sickening sweet floral underneath. But when it touches skin it almost immediately loses that astringency and becomes warm and languid. It's golden, dead grass...dare I say it, golden, slightly damp bales of hay baking in the summer sun after the rain. Golden bales of hay surrounded by wildflowers wilting in the merciless heat. There's something sweeter too...I almost smell a hint of coconut milkiness. It's really lovely. I love this one. -
Got an imp of this from a generous frimper. Unfortunately, it's not good on me. I detect no blackcurrant, and true to form, inky musk (or inky anything) screams on me and completely drowns everything else out. I'm getting the faintest hint of rose mixing with the ink, but the inky musk is giving me a headache. No tonka bean to be found whatsoever in any stage of wear.
-
In the imp: Clean cotton, incense, vanilla. Incredible. Wet, on skin: Blossomy fresh damp cotton and incense. Cognac coming forth in perfect harmony. Later: I'm amping the cognacand tobacco in the most sexy and flattering way. I am in love with this one. Instant favorite. I need a whole bottle of this ASAP.

Prosperous Flowers of the Elegant Twelve Seasons
petrichorandleather replied to hexnut's topic in Lupercalia
Wet: Resin and tobacco. Two of my favorites. It reminds me of French Tobacco SN, but without the slightly vanillic undertone. There's something in here that goes CEDAR on me and is drowning out this oil's potential, which makes me really sad. Dry: nothing but a very sharp cedar scent. Sillage: pretty close to skin I'll be swapping this. I had very high hopes.
