ellebelle Report post Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) Thick flowers (but not all the jasmine-y on me) - maybe honeysuckle or magnolia?, some greenery (perhaps moss or balsam? but not grass or sap) and a hint of lemon. I like this better than the released version which caused me to violently scrub my skin. It is not an unpleasant scent, but it is slightly medicinal to my nose. The drydown is almost all heady floral. I think this might be magnolia as it reminds me a bit of Josie. Edited July 6, 2011 by Ellebelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Bird Report post Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) This reminds me of being in a LUSH shop, full of milky herbal notes, sweet vanillas, and florals. It's like swirls of Dream Time bath melt (milky lavender), Candy Fluff powder, Alkmaar soap... There's a floral something that gets stronger in the drydown, and it smells like lotus on my skin. Lotus usually smells like creamy, pink bubblegum mixed with clean, creamy white floral (a bit lily-like). I don't get anything lemony or citrus. Overall, this scent is delicate and girly smelling, but it still has great staying power and a lot of throw on me. My husband said it smells like pink and white flowers with a little cotton candy. ETA: A lot of the bottles that I got from the lab's etsy site seem to have turned/gone off a bit. This one now smells like intensely sour lemons, lavender, and laundry soap... all of the sweetness that I loved before seems to be gone. Very sour and unpleasant. Sad, because I liked this for the first few months that I had it. Edited February 7, 2012 by Little Bird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
angelicruin Report post Posted July 30, 2011 More than any other note, I get a creamy lavender scent on my skin. I love the released version of New Orleans and I am finding this proto version to be different, yet still very lovely on my skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted August 12, 2011 I get lavender, hints of honeysuckle and green, and on wet a tinge of lemon. I like this prototype version better than the released one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OctoberGwen Report post Posted January 20, 2014 I was hoping to love this, since the released version is the type of jasmine that goes stinky on my skin and people weren't getting much of the jasmine from this one. Sadly, still stinky. I am so sad, because I love magnolia and I love the city. Damn you, stinky jasmine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
