Bought this for a Jester Lavorre cosplay and am not at all disappointed. The first thing that hit me when I opened the decant I bought was a blueberry that took me back to the roll-on blueberry glitter from Bath and Body Works circa 2001. Once I got past that, it had a hint of aquatic and salt to it that made it feel like eating a blueberry dumdum at the beach. It's fun and sweet and exactly how it sounds, and it made me really happy every time I smelled it on me.

When I first open the bottle, the curry note is strong. Once it's on, though, it dries down quickly to something different. It smells like coffee ice cream with a whiff of fruit and curry spices, and the slightest hint of smoke. It's softer than I expected when I smelled it from the bottle, but not at all in a bad way. It just feels like sitting in a Caribbean restaurant, eating a vanilla ice cream as all the smells are around you. As someone homesick for southern Florida, it's perfect.

To me, this scent genuinely smells like moonbeams. The lemon and fir and silver musk go together beautifully to give it a bright sort of smell that's, well, silvery. It's a light scent without being as delicate as the Zorya P perfume, and I like the crispness that comes from the apple blossom and fir. It's just a lovely clean scent, like a clear night.

I got this at DragonCon 2017, and it's an absolutely gorgeous scent. I've been describing it as a delicate floral--the vanilla adds a sweetness, and I find that it's overall a very light scent. Gossamer really is a good word for it. I find that I bring out the amber a touch more in scents, and it makes this scent feel rounded out and full without losing that ethereal lightness about it.
