CCXXIX -- When I first got the cap off, it smelled like lovely light florals, nothing standing out too much, just a nice blend. On my wrist it smells very light, like a true skin scent, and I detect maybe water lilies or spring flowers? A slight edge of something faintly green, and something a bit powdery, maybe amber. There's also a slight aquatic edge to it. A very light, beautiful fragrance and perfect for the weather we've been having! ETA: This scent is totally soothing and light, like aloe vera. I feel very peaceful smelling and wearing it, and it almost has the same feel as some of the lunar oils. Hmm. But it's not really me at all, I like lots of throw and a scent with presence...so off to swaps, alas.

I was attracted at first to this scent because the little poem in the descriptor is one of a very few I can recite in Chinese...it's a very lovely one, and goes well with this scent. All I can think of is pulpy green dripping bamboo on moonlit snow. As many others have said, this is a truly unique scent and is red, green and white in color to my mind. Chuang qian ming yue guang...

Beautiful rosey-cinnamon scent--I love the smell of roses, and the cinnamon makes it spicier and more complicated. Unfortunately, the cinnamon also gave me huge red welts on my arms where it was applied, so I think I will have to find myself a scent locket, because I LOVE this scent...

What a lovely scent! On me, the plumeria comes out most strongly--I used to wear plumeria essential oil for awhile, and I've always loved it...this scent is complex, delicious and ever changing, just like a real garden. One of my favorites!
