Seajewel Report post Posted September 30, 2021 And if thy third eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. Clotted clove and dragon’s blood resin scabbing over a pit of milky white musk, lavender absolute, and meditative mugwort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doomsday_disco Report post Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) This starts off with the white musk-doused lavender and mugwort being the dominant notes. The dragon's blood and clove don't take long to join in, but they are much softer than they usually are -- I think the white musk is helping to tame them. It stays a white musk, lavender, and mugwort blend tinged with dragon's blood and mugwort for most of the wear, but by the end of the day, it has morphed into an incense-y dragon's blood and musk backed by the herbal notes. Dragon's blood is a tricky note for me, but it's pretty subdued here, so it's still worth a try if the other notes are up your alley! I'm not sure this is one I need a bottle of, but I think I'll hold onto my decant and see if I reach for it. ETA: I ended up grabbing a bottle. Retesting this after it has aged for a few months, it seems stronger on the lavender, white musk, and mugwort combo that I love, with the dragon's blood and clove being very well-behaved and infusing some warmth into the cooler notes. I plan on using it as a sleep scent to help ration the Hypnotize Me from a few years back. Edited February 17, 2022 by doomsday_disco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
torischroeder9 Report post Posted November 23, 2021 In the decant: Mostly white musk and lavender absolute, but they're definitely playing with some other notes. Those notes are just indeterminate at this stage. On my skin: Wet, the lavender absolute shows up first, followed by white musk. And now the mugwort is detectable as well. As it dries, I get a bit of clove in the lavender, and then the dragon's blood comes out to play. It is subdued but present, and I would say it is taming the musk on me. This is probably the most lavender-forward of the Liliths I tried this year. Unfortunately, it was the clotted clove that spoke to (non-Virgo) me, and I miss not getting much of that.

rivetted Report post Posted December 1, 2021 a lot more "cold" smelling than i was expecting. (also it's already freezing where i live so i just dont see myself grabbing this.... i mightve liked it more if i were patient enough to wait 6 more months.....) the white musk is really lovely, and the lavender / mugwort combo is very dreamy. the clove / dragons blood give it a lot more background depth. unfortunately i just don't really grab "cold" scents like this very often.... i love the way it smells, but in the end when im choosing my scent for the day or evening i havent been grabbing this one. it's probably the sharp lavender at the top note that is feeling so "cold" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted December 20, 2021 Lavender, clove, and dragon's blood. This smells sort of cold, and musky. Medium throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Bird Report post Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) I was hoping for lots of clove and dragon's blood, but all I'm getting from this is intensely sweet lavender (like a lavender flavored bubblegum), Play-Doh and something that's reminding me of the sweet bubble bath that I had as a child. I get nothing spicy or resinous or incense-y. It makes me want to take a bubble bath and it feels playful and very sweet.

Missanneshirleyofgg Report post Posted November 13, 2022 Was gifted a decant of this by a friend! The white musk really is milky here, although I would not say that its dairy milk, more that it goes on creamy and smooth. I get alot of mugwort and its so comforting: fresh. The lavender is well blended with the mugwort and white musk and I feel that the combined total presents as a delightful dreamy blend that would be perfect to wear anytime ones thoughts feel disheveled, or in circumstances where you feel you need to be more grounded. I keep leaning in to huff my wrist, and the overall scent presentation is one of ambivalence to change, a gentle contemplation of what is to be. I do not smell any clove or dragons blood resin, Thats OK as I have blends I enjoy for those notes and can not imagine it would add to my pleasure in this blend to have them be prominent. Adding this to my wishlist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
