HerbGirl Report post Posted December 27, 2022 Yes to all of the notes. This is beautiful. I thought I was smelling an opium/poppy deepness/darkness but it is not listed. The rose doesn't take over, actually, everything is nicely balanced and I enjoyed this for the New Moon in Capricorn. I am personally hoping the oak bark and black currant get stronger and stand out because I love those notes together. Very nice. (Also, pairs well near In the Shadow Room) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AEris Report post Posted January 12, 2023 Beautifully balanced! I am able to pick out each note when I concentrate on it. If you dislike patchouli then this may not be for you, but if you love it, this is a gorgeously resonant blend! The fruitiness is subtle and not too sweet, the rose gives zest without being powdery/potpourri, the deep notes give warmth without weight. Really loving it ❤️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted March 24, 2023 This is a very gothy Victorian floral - rose and orchid, but dirtied up by patchouli and oak and black currant. The impression is of velvet curtains, dark parlor, swaths of roses. Medium throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cali Report post Posted June 27, 2023 Ugh, this is gorgeous! Honestly, Aeris above here basically noted what i might've said- this is such a soft, deeply rosy blend. Nothing stands out it's all mixed to perfection. Works for warm wintery nights, clenly crisp spring mornings, a rainy autumn afternoon, a romantic dinner date... This is a swiss army perfume for comfortably cozy moments in time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Bird Report post Posted July 3 The orchid and rose form a sharp, perfumey, musky floral base that leans refreshing and shampoo-like, with the rose conjuring up romantic, sensual feelings. The black currant gives it an edge of dark, jammy sweetness that I just love. The patchouli and oak aren't distinct, but there is a shadowy, almost incense like undertone here. I enjoy the opening so much, but unfortunately, 20 minutes in, this just smells like dusty powder and sharp floral musk on me. When the rose and black currant disappear into a generic, powdery, perfumey haze, I find myself disliking this one. My bottle is well aged at this point, and I just wish the rose and currant were stronger, but the musky orchid seems to dominate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
