Dormouse

This is the most wonderful summer scent. The grapefruit is really tart and clean and backed up by a delicate floral and a hint of dryness from the tea. On full drydown the ginger peeks out a tiny bit but it's not a warm spicy ginger, it is a sharp, fresh ginger and very beautiful. The scent hardly changed at all from imp to full dry down and lasted surprisingly long on my citrus eating skin. Aparently it has a fair throw too as a number of people comented how nice it smelled.

I really expected to love this. Les Bijoux and Harikata are right at the top of my favourites list so you'll understand that all the notes sounded so perfect for me. In the bottle it smells like MVJBA Spring Training meets Les Bijoux and I was all excited to try it on. For a brief moment the apple blossom and honey sang on my skin but they were quickly overpowered by cloying burnt caramel with an odd rotten tinge to it. Sadly this amped and then stayed and stayed until I got so fed up smelling it that I went and washed my wrists. Even more sadly, after washing, my wrists smelled of musk and honey gorgeousness giving me an idea of what someone with compatible skin chemistry would be smelling.
