A musky, sensual balsamic amber reclining on a bed of dandelions, mock strawberry,
and wild grasses with a flutter of feathery black vetiver and a splotch of ink.

 

Dreaming as the Summers Die
Thy home is all around,
Sweet summer child of light and air,
Like God’s own presence, felt, ne’er found,
A Spirit everywhere!

Oooh I really really like this! I'm still learning how to recognize scent notes - I get the wild grasses and vetiver, but there's a sweetness, too. Not exactly fruit-y but also... not NOT fruity? Hard to pin down and describe, but I find this to be like a little bottle of summer, lazing in the park grass, watching the clouds drift by.

The wild grasses and the mock strawberry steals the show at first, with a bit of vetiver and a fleck of ink. The mock strawberry mostly just smells like strawberry to me. Over time, it becomes more about the amber and vetiver on a bed of grass, backed by what is left of the strawberry. I was not able to pick out the dandelions in this one.

 

The amber and vetiver varieties featured in this scent are not for me, but it was fun to get to try this.
