suki Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Dry, skeletal woods and moist marsh, dripping with the perfume of bog lilies. in the bottle: sweet, soft floral and white musk.wet on skin: same, with a hint of melon peeking in the background (aloe?)dry down: a sweet softness is maintained.in all: a vibe similar to Blue Moon, without any water note. this makes me think of falling asleep in an early autumn meadow...that just happens to be in a graveyard.

fairnymph Report post Posted August 17, 2009 Sniffed: Pale yellow oil. Slightly sweet, clean, fresh, mossy cologne. Lightly floral, unisex to masculine. The woods are very light but overly dry. A little traditional smelling, in the best possible way. Wet: A little brighter and sharpy; more woody and astringent. Almost a little powdery, but not yet unpleasantly. A little sweeter and more floral, more unisex. A definite strong aquatic feel, as well as a breezy feel that suggests ozone. Make my rosacea itch a bit. Dry: It's faded a bit, but remains a light, fresh, clean woody-floral aquatic. Still cologney, but this has become more feminine on my skin. It sort of reminds me of an aquatic version of Dirty, a scent that I LOVE. Later: Actually, the drydown to me is very much like 51, that smashed light woods and musk, with an aquatic overlay and a hint of (slightly powdery?) floral sweetness from the lilies. I also get a bit of oakmoss, maybe to mimic the marsh? Summary: Light, slightly dry woods, a fresh cologne feel, oakmoss, and 51-ish musk galore. VERY musky and 'pale', almost ghostly feeling. Unfortunately my skin eats this stuff voraciously and rapidly and it has dismal throw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voorishsign Report post Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Got a prototype (Prototype 2) of this thanks to the trunk show! I'm a bit nervous. The Dunwich Horror is hands down my favourite Lovecraft story ever, but will this actually work on me? In the bottle - a clean aquatic. Oh no. I was hoping for something woodier :/ Oh well, it hasn't touched my skin yet, so who knows. On wet - Still aquatic. Lots of lillies. Oh dear. Exactly the kind of thing that doesn't work on me. Please get better. Please get better. Please get better! Drydown - Lilies. Nothing but lilies and aquatics. Waugh. No woods. No marsh. No nothing. Just lilies and soap. All this waiting, all this clamouring, for absolutely nothing. Sigh. ETA: Upon retrying, much more pleasant Less florals. More swamp. Thank you Edited May 28, 2010 by voorishsign Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
