zankoku_zen Report post Posted February 23, 2019 We’re such ridiculous LA rubes. We were standing outside our hotel laughing, oohing and ahhhing, and taking photos of snowflake-shaped snowflakes, when an Austrian fellow walks up to us and says, “Snow.” I told him that we’re from Los Angeles, so snow is super exotic to us. He nodded and walked away. The awe and wonder of a couple of Angelinos marveling at the snowy snowness of the snowflakiest of snowflakes: golden amber, California sage, white tea, and sunny Matilija poppy speckled with snow. Piney snow, hints of white tea and sage, and a whiff of amber. This one is a very Christmas blend, but made delicate by the white tea and sage, there's a somewhat floral note that I couldn't identify and I am assuming that's the poppy. Cool, breezy, snow. Medium throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casablanca Report post Posted February 28, 2019 This one is like a dream of snow in the San Fernando Valley... ❤️ Sparkly snow, poppy, a little whiff of white tea, and something California desert brush-like that reminds me of the Lab "chaparral" note. I'm guessing it's the California sage. I get something more overtly desert-scented here than from other sage notes, but I love them all. The poppy smells soft and golden, and less opium-heavy than some other poppy notes. California desert smells give me nostalgia for when I lived there. It's quirky and fun to pick up a bit of that plus snow, without it smelling like Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead, the only places I saw snow in the southern state. Love this.
