Peony, China’s national flower, with bamboo for flexibility, plum blossom and plum fruit for perseverance, courage, and hope, tangerine for wealth, orange for happiness, lychee for household peace, pine resin for constancy, golden kumquat, pussy willow, and quince for prosperity, narcissus and King mandarin for good fortune, and peach blossom for longevity, with a splash of blazing red of dragon’s blood and red vegetal musk to help you scare away the rampaging Nian.

Little Bird Report post Posted 23 hours ago I collect the Lunar New Year fragrances and like to compare them because they all have subtle (or sometimes huge) differences in spite of their similar notes, which I find really interesting. Some of the previous Lunar New Years have gone soapy or sharp, but this one is very creamy. I think the creaminess is coming from the blossoms because its a cool, mellow, not-very-sweet cream. There's a burst of sharp mandarin in the beginning, but then the fruitiness turns sweeter and I get a lot of plum and plum blossom with the tanginess of red musk and the cool, pulpy, green bamboo that always makes me think of being in a spa. Creamy, fruity-floral, a little muskiness, but not sharp or soapy at all once the citrus notes calm down (which was only a couple minutes on my skin). I like these fruity bossom scents and Wood Snake feels very spring-like and joyful, gentle, and soothing to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
