To a Wreath of Snow Hair Gloss

[doomsday_disco]

O transient voyager of heaven!

O silent sign of winter skies!

What adverse wind thy sail has driven

To dungeons where a prisoner lies?

 

Methinks the hands that shut the sun

So sternly from this mourning brow

Might still their rebel task have done

And checked a thing so frail as thou

 

They would have done it had they known

The talisman that dwelt in thee,

For all the suns that ever shone

Have never been so kind to me!

 

For many a week, and many a day

My heart was weighed with sinking gloom

When morning rose in mourning grey

And faintly lit my prison room

 

But angel like, when I awoke,

Thy silvery form so soft and fair

Shining through darkness, sweetly spoke

Of cloudy skies and mountains bare

 

The dearest to a mountaineer

Who, all life long has loved the snow

That crowned her native summits drear,

Better, than greenest plains below –

 

And voiceless, soulless messenger

Thy presence waked a thrilling tone

That comforts me while thou art here

And will sustain when thou art gone

– Emily Brontë

 

Morning rising in mourning grey: tobacco flower, white oud, lavender bud, and ambergris accord.

I get a bit more lavender from this than in the perfume oil but equally gorgeous. A chilly, musky ambergris and tobacco flower scent with a nice halo of lavender.

from my previous review it seems i did like the perfume, but i think if memory serves, this lavender is stronger like roseus mentioned. (i will have to find my decant to compare.) anyway, it's an herbal lavender with white oud and ambergis mostly. the tobacco is subtle at first, but grows stronger over time. i find this scent to be calming and soothing.
