zankoku_zen Report post Posted November 18, 2019 Valued not just for itself, but for the myriad treasures that it contains: deep green moss and black currant with a soft pink rosebud musk, abalone, orris root, sugar cane, and almond husk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casablanca Report post Posted December 28, 2019 Wet: Deep black currant, with a glow of sugared pink roses, and hints of almond and shimmering abalone. The sugary pink roses bring a potent girlishness to a blend that otherwise behaves as a lady. The blend develops its musk in drydown on my skin. Pink rosebud musk indeed... the drydown for me is mainly a deep black currant and sugared pink rosebud musk. The musk eventually calms down, which is a relief. Dried on my skin, this blend is black currant dominant, glowing with sugared pink roses, iridescent with abalone, grounded by little dark moss. A different and intriguing fragrance. I'll need to work out whether it's too girly to be a black currant go-to for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted January 6, 2020 Sweet black currant, rose buds, sugar, and a whiff of moss. This one is soft, fruity, and sugary. Very soft, and glowing. Medium throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VetchVesper Report post Posted February 11, 2020 To me this is exceeeedingly sweet - just too much. If Rapture Pig just wasn't sweet enough - this one's for you. Almond and sugary pink rose that's made soft and creamy by the abalone and orris. I wish I was getting black currant, but I'm not. 😕 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralenth Report post Posted November 21, 2020 Wet, this is sweet blackcurrant with a tinge of tartness. As it dries, a sugared rose comes into play, with soft underpinnings of a gentle musk. The throw is minimal on my skin, but it is a gentle girlishly pink scent that lasts for a couple of hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bygraveyardlight Report post Posted December 2, 2022 A softly shimmering, sweet cloud of pinky loveliness. This is not a commanding rose at all (which is good news for me!), in the bottle and on my skin it is soft- smooth- sugar dominant with a touch of fruitiness. My amateur snoot can't pick out the almond from ~the blendedness~ but I think it gives the sweetness more depth. I would wear this to tea with Titania and all the nymphs, it is not usual style but I'm surprised by how much I love it- I am very glad to have a bottle for when the fancy strikes!
