Mysterious Warning

[filigree_shadow]

A scent evocative of poisonous family secrets: dry lavender-infused amber, battered leather, nicotiana, osmanthus, and jasmine tea.

Yeah, the lavender in this reminds me of TKO's lavender. This one is more complex -- the floral notes make it smell more exotic than lavender perfumes usually do. It's pretty.

I think I've been using TKO for too long, though, because when I take a big whiff of this I get sleepy.

On the skin: Nice smooth leather lavender with a hint of tea. Doesn't smell sharp at all! This is actually a very friendly lavender. I do like how smooth this blend is!

 

After a bit, it begins to smell slightly sweeter.

 

Interesting and lovely, but I don't think it is for me.

Thank you, TwilightEyes for sending this to me!! :wub2:

 

I had no notes to look at before applying, which is always a fun experiment. At first, it was VERY sharp- almost like a cheap men's body spray and white floral. Something about it reminded me of Lurid, which is my absolute favorite BPAL scent ever. But, boy did it morph quickly and often! The next stage was a very strong floral, which I am guessing must be the jasmine in the tea.

 

The dry down became very warm and cozy, with a little hint of woodiness from the lavender. I keep getting whiffs of myself and feel intoxicated

 

While similar to Lurid, I'd say that this is slightly warmer on the dry down but still has those slight aquatic/ ozone/ lavender notes to keep it grounded.

 

YUM.

this starts out all lavender, then the nicotiana comes through a lot more. i think i am also getting a hint of amber and osmanthus and later the tea. it takes awhile but i get something almost foody from this? not sure what that is, it's just kind of..."toasty" i'd say. whatever it is, it's not really working with my skin chemistry. i don't get any leather in here either. what an interesting scent.
