Lady MacBeth

Recommended Posts

The single best word to describe Lady M is "heady". In the bottle, it is an unremarkable combination of wine and juicy fruit. On the skin, however, it gains an incredible complexity. The wine is rich and intoxicating; the berries and currants are ripe and bursting with juice; and the sage keeps it from going too sweet. I thought when I first put it on that it didn't have much throw - turns out that the throw just takes 15 minutes or so to arrive, and then it's STRONG. Not exactly my usual jam, but I will definitely be keeping my imp.

Very juicy berry. It doesn't go weird on my skin, but it's not my favorite. Would make a nice layering note with something woody...

In honour of my recently repaired relationship with my mother, I’m reviewing her signature scent. This is her perfume, it’s what I remember smelling on her before she went out when I was young, what she smelled like on my 21st birthday, what she smelled like the night before she married my stepfather. It’s a scent with a lot of memories for me, to say the least. Ripe, red berries that lean a little too “body spray” on my young hormonal skin, but wow does this stun on her! On her there’s much more sage and thyme, balancing out the absolutely gorgeous red wine note, and the berries are present but are nowhere near as bright and loud as they are on me. I bought her a fresh bottle from the lab pretty recently, and while it does smell wildly good and pretty similar to her 2009 bottle, the aged version of this is truly where it gets magical. 
 

Wear time: about 6 hours on me, much longer on her.

Sillage: low-medium on me, strong on her.
