    My first review! Well let me say first that I blind ordered this bottle based solely on the notes listed. I love all things honeysuckle and hate wanting for decants... I felt like taking a risk, and I really paid off. I was most worried about the patchouli overpowering this blend..., but really it doesn't show up on me at all. The "crush diamond accord" also intrigued me..., what does that even smell like? I must know! Wet: I get pure honeysuckle. Glorious! This is exactly what I hoped it would be. This almost smells like pure honeysuckle single note on me while wet. Clean, fresh, florals. My boyfriend says it smells "yummy and fresh", he really likes it. Dry: The honeysuckle starts to take a backseat and the gardenia peaks out. I get a sense of something else that smells fresh, clean and almost mysterious, this might be the "crush diamond accord". There is also something dark in the background, maybe the amber peeking out? Still no patchouli, thank goodness. Overall thoughts: I love it! This was my only Lupercalia bottle purchase and I am thrilled. Clean, fresh floral with a lot of depth, I think the amber and diamond accord keep it grounded and interesting. This perfume oil feels very feminine and I feel comfortable wearing it to school and work, day or night. I think it will be great for Spring and Summer. I may need a second bottle!!! My other scent recommendations: You might like this if you like... Litha, Whip, Euphrosyne
