doomsday_disco Report post Posted June 20 A fragrance inspired by the buzzing prophesies of nymphs, the devotions of ancient priestesses, and the bounty of honied hives. Wildflower honey, frankincense, olive blossoms, and cinnamon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikaida Report post Posted August 15 (edited) Bought a bottle secondhand due to its note list being quite similar to Defututa (which I like a lot). I wanted to see how different they would be and in what ways! They are QUITE different! In Melissae I’m getting something almost like olive oil early on, as well as a slightly cinnamon-spicy note and a slightly floral note. (I wish i knew what olive blossoms smelled like, sorry, I just know I like a lot of stuff they’re in!) Then it’s a spicy savory mix of cinnamon and frankincense, it’s a lot less sweet than I was expecting. A few hours later and the honey is coming through more. It reminds me of loukoumades? Fun! This is one I keep trying before bed, so I’ll have to come back and update this review with more thoughts once I try it earlier in the day!

Ennikar Report post Posted December 5 Starts off pretty straightforwardly honey, with a touch of cinnamon and florals. As the scent progresses, the honey gets a touch powdery, florals (presumably olive blossom; this does remind me a bit of Olive Wreath) come out more, and the cinnamon disappears as far as I can tell. It's a pretty floral honey with a slightly powdery mostly-floral drydown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elissamay Report post Posted December 9 I am so thrilled to have a namesake BPAL, even if it's totally coincidental. This is pure lemon balm (Melissa officianalis) to my nose. It's gorgeous and far more long-lasting than I expected from this kind of scent. Gorgeous for the spring and summer, just be mindful of the bees! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
