Initially: very strong lavender.
Wet On: lavender, something slightly citrus, and maybe something else floral?
Dry Down: not much has changed, it just fades into almost nothing by morning
As a sleep inducing oil I did not have much success, I did find it very pleasant and relaxing but it did not make me sleepy, I'll have to try it again and report back.
Overall 3.5/5

Inspired by and created for my beloved Tedwin: my eternal, beautiful, wicked Dorian Gray. Refined, elegant, and lovely, with a noble bearing and seemingly gentle air. This blend is an artful deception: a sweet gilded blossom lying over a twisted and corrupted core. A Victorian fougere with three pale musks and dark, sugared vanilla tea.
Initially: this smells like lemon sugar cookies and a hot cup of tea. Dry Down: the lemon sugar cookies remain but the tea is gone. Two Hours Later: the lemon fades, the vanilla and sugar amp up and the musks show up. This turns very powdery on my skin. I so wanted to love this, but alas the dry down gives me a bit of a headache. Overall I give it 2.5/5
