Deyanira, the Fakir

I hope I got this in the right place...

Thanks to Jen for frimping me a sniffie of this!

 

Wet, this is a green, fresh floral, the kind I like. This is not cloying or jasmine-esque at all, more of a lily or lily of the valley. It dries to a slightly sour, powdery floral, which is making me think that there is a bit of rose here. That being said, I don't mind powder in small doses, and this would be lovely spring.

Mmm, this one is interesting. I like it. Dark, resiny, spicy. Some wood? Pepper? Not quite sure but it is right up my alley. Developing a bite as it dries, but not bad. That might be some bitter citrus rind lurking in the background adding that bite. Manages to evoke metal without being metallic.

 

Second try: immediate strong fruit, turning into sour wine. This time I thought I also smelled a heady floral. As it dries at first I got something woody-resiny, and then it began to turn metallic. A very shifty scent, indeed. Final dry-down is wine and metal over dark dry wood.

Deyania, you are such a morpher you.

 

So on wet at first you smell like a green fresh floral, with tinges of fruitiness. I think you have some pomegranate. But underneath it all, there is a woody, dark resin spiciness. As you dry, I get more of that pomegranate/wood, with a tinge of blackened metal.

 

I got this frimped in a swap, and thank you to the generous forumite for the tester!
