Leanan Sidhe

Recommended Posts

... Her perfume is a crush of Irish herbs and flowers, Gaelic mists, and nighttime dew.

 

I'm a bit surprised, b/c Leanan Sidhe IS a bit soapy on me, but I like it and think it's an aquatic I can actually wear. It comes across at first as very green and misty with some sort of white floral. Maybe lily or lily of the valley, though that usually goes waaaay soapier on me. I get the Irish Spring references, but there's enough difference that I don't feel like I'm wearing generic bar of soap. I feel like I'm wearing fancy fairy soap that's clean and full of little white flowers and aqua glitter while I bath in a forest pool. :smile: After a bit, this stops being soapy and I get almost a honeyed sweetness with the now creamy white floral. This is VERY pretty, and perfect for a hot summer day.

Basing this off an older imp I had of this, from 2015 or so? That said, I got a frimp of it in my last order, and it doesn't seem any different!

 

In the imp: Herbal, heather, and a definite sense of thick, wet fog. Exactly how I'd imagine a wet Irish night to smell!

 

Worn: It's very distinctively 'wet' and misty on, both to my nose, and my partners. I get less of the herbs, but the heather is definitely there and distinctive. It's very fascinating that even as the perfume oil dries, it still smells wet and misty!

 

Long term: For me, this lasts two or three hours before fading. It's fairly consistent from when it's first put on, staying with an impression of green plants and heavy mist, all wild and full of moisture. If I had to name specific notes, I'd say dew, mist, and heather. It's not a strong scent, but a delicate one, without a strong sillage. Very easy to wear.
