Penny Dreadful

Recommended Posts

This is a fascinating scent. I absolutely get dirt, but not wet loam but dry, powdery - not direct in which things grow. The hint of perfume is a little spicy on me, and vaguely unsettling alongside the dusty direct. This conjures a vivid picture, and while I wouldn't be comfortable with it for everyday use, I imagine I will absolutely want to use it for getting into a very particular mood (and that mood is "Jean Rollin heroine").

On me, this is the city cousin of The Forest Reverie. I'm getting what my brain definitely reads as opium smoke as a note in that it is the shared smoke-resin-incense note with The Forest Reverie. There's also a hint of lilies and a soft note of freshly rained on dark loamy soil. Surprising me once it was on my skin was a rich spicy element of anise and ginger.

 

I like this far far more than I would have guessed in the imp or from the description.
