Holy Trinity

[Little Bird]

GOOD FRIEND FOR JESUS SAKE FOREBEAR,
TO DIGG THE DVST ENCLOSED HERE.
BLESTE BE YE MAN YT SPARES THESE STONES,
AND CURSED BE HE YT MOVES MY BONES.

For years now, whenever Lilith is in a cemetery, she has felt compelled to leave little presents… flowers, beads, toys… graveside, especially at the graves of long-gone children. This moment was captured at the Collegiate Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, Stratford-upon-Avon, the site of Shakespeare’s baptism and burial.

Soft riverbank soil, winter daffodils, fog-damp grass, curled pondweed, and frankincense.

I grew up in Missouri and this reminds me of all of the ponds and forest pools scattered throughout our property.
It's cool, chilly water with ice just starting to form, hints of dying greenery and soft, vanilla-sweetened earthiness (like in Death Cap).
Holy Trinity goes a little soapy around the edges, and I normally can't stand soapy, but I'm loving this.
This really smells like all of its listed notes, and maybe the warm frankincense is giving me that sweet, resinous vanilla impression.
Fans of blends like Death Cap and Bayou should enjoy this, but this is more complex, smooth and easy to wear than those blends are to me.
This smells very much like fall to me, even though the sweet, airy daffodil should be making me think of spring.
I'll be getting a full bottle of this in my next order.

Daffodils, dirt, grass, and a touch of frankincense.

 

On wet, its a much greener and dirtier blend. As it dries, the daffodils pop up alot more, I get a wee touch of ozone and frankincense. This is a very clean, green blend. Also:

 

DAFFODILS, MOTHERF*CKERS.

 

FINALLY.

 

This is the smell of green, misty outsides. In vibe, this sort of reminds me to Dublin and Unseelie (both which to me read as UK/Irish-centric). Like a softer and less ozone version of Host of Air.

This is amazing. It smells like wet rainy mornings and springtime near a pond. I will cherish my decant and hope for the funds to get this is bottle form. In

Decant from Denise, 2016

 

In the imp: Exactly, 100%, what it says on the tin. Wet soil on a foggy morning, daffodils poking out into a gloomy grey fog, thick green weeds and thin tendrils of frankincense.

 

Wet: Daffodil dominant, with a nice slather of pond-weed, an underlying base of damp soil, and the reminder of incense clinging to cold parkas and mittens.

 

Dry: Fog, grass, and frankinsence-smeared daffodils. I still love this and vaguely regret not buying a bottle. Mid to strong throw, fairly generous lifespan.
