Soft vanilla rose, no blackcurrant according to my nose. Slightly creamy without being thick or cloying, well-blended and soft.

Like having mulled cider with a slice of pumpkin pie. It's perfect for fall. Editing to add that it's also very wearable and not foody at all.

I'm so sad I didn't like this one Once it dries I smell caramel and candy corn only. I don't know what belladonna smells like, let alone belladonna honey, so I'm not sure if I'm picking this note up at all... The description sounded lovely but it doesn't mesh well with my skin.

I got this as a frimp in my last order and was very excited because of the subject matter. Sadly this one was a little disappointing to me, I was expecting something more flirty or edgy but it's a vintage rose. It's still a lovely, fresh vintage rose but I think this Lucy is less "Lucy Westenra, the flirty young woman who loves gossiping with her bestie and fighting off suitors" and more "Lucy Westenra trying to fit into Victorian society's idea of how a woman should behave (or smell)".

I bought this one just in time before it was discontinued and I'm both happy I got to try it and sad it's gone because I won't be able to repurchase it when I finish my bottle. I really love this one! It reminds me of my baby witch days, when I'd go to my local crystal shop and would purchase fruity incense because I was too afraid of the "big girl" incense. It smells like strawberry incense all the way through!

(Editing to add this is for the 2024 version!) Soft, sweet vanilla cream. There's a hint of petrolatum as well but the vanilla cream is the main character here. It's easy to wear alone and perfect for layering! I've layered this with Lady Amalthea (my favorite BPAL) to bring out the creaminess, as well as with perfume oils from other houses to bring out the vanilla notes. I might buy a 2nd (or 3rd!) bottle, I can see myself reaching for Clown White a lot.

I'm not too experienced with fragrances but I'll try my best to review this one. Sweet mandarin and roses, there's a little something bitter to it as well (possibly due to the queen mandarin rind.) I don't pick up on the amber, yellow peppercorn, or any "scorched" notes that are listed. Just a juicy, bittersweet citrus with roses.
