starbrow Report post Posted August 25, 2020 I am shook, reading these notes! Testing it blindly, I didn't get lavender or rose at all! I did get dried petals/herbs, so that may be where those two bombshells come in, but clearly they are very faded and dry and, well, melancholic, rather than bombastic. There is a papery, dusty quality to this blend that is fascinating. It's almost book-adjacent. Like a well-worn volume of poetry that has been wept over lots. The watery tears creep through. It's not aquatic, it's so specifically the memory of tears, I'm stunned. It's in the same family as They Shut Me Up in Prose, although I do much prefer that one to Ode, which is quiet to the point of non-existence unless shoved up right under one's nose. Nevertheless, Ode is a beautiful and exceptionally wearable spooky scent that book-lovers and floral-haters might just want to give a second glance. It gets my vote in the Tournament of Underdogs 2020! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fairybites Report post Posted October 17, 2020 In the Imp: Lavender and rose, but their scent isn't strong at all. I think there's some other florals mixed in here too, but I can't pick them out. Probably the ones listed in the notes like wisteria. On Me: Baby powder with florals. I wasn't expecting it to smell like this. I do enjoy baby powder scents so there's no complaints over here. It's a comforting scent but I think I should have put more on, I have to put my wrist right up at my nose to smell it. I could see this being bottle worthy, but I do prefer Follow Me Boy to this.

Prince Of Hearts Report post Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Everything in this bottle blends together too well for any one scent to stand out. It definitely has this water-soaked flower scent coming out of the bottle directly. Unfortunately with my body chemistry -after the dry down- it starts to smell like the soap in a doctors office. I certainly smell clean, just not what I was wanting personally. Edited March 24, 2021 by Prince Of Hearts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lecter Report post Posted February 19, 2023 Definitely a sad, morose sleepy smell. When I opened the bottle I said “oh…” soft lavender, beautiful wisteria, so soft and sweet it’s also sad! Melancholy indeed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
