The Lion's Roar

[LavenderCoffee]

The Lion’s Roar is an oil of fierce protection woven with the spirit of dominion and defense. It guards not only your flesh and bone, but the very heart of your kingdom—your loved ones, your home, your livelihood. Imbued with the savage ferocity of a lion defending its pride, The Lion’s Roar erects an impenetrable wall of power, a fortress through which no ill will, malevolent intent, or lurking danger may pass.

this goes on with such an incredible sparkling effervescence I find myself wondering: what if sunshine was a soda flavor? the fizz settles down as it wears, and as I breathe in the bay laurel and fossilized amber, I am reminded of the Laurel Wreath from the Kotinos release over the Summer. of course this is the roar and not the diadem, yet it begs another question: what if we took that gorgeous but humble wreath and seriously glammed it up? every golden facet of every note seems to reflect sunshine back to me, a glowing halo of scent.

I assume the frank was providing the fizz and I think it's also lending a light lemony tint alongside the bergamot. in case you are concerned about it, I don't find the clove especially spicy here - it provides more of an ambient warmth. everything about this from a perfume perspective is stunning, and I can see it lending a needed boost of confidence to those wanting one. I certainly needed a roar today.
