Encroaching Madness

A yellow smell. Old foul, bad yellow things. Honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, balsam, hydrangea, and helichrysum.

In the imp: Almost sweet and buttery! That's interesting. Must be the balsam and the honeysuckle.

Wet: Huh? Lots of the florals. A bit sharp, from the mum, as mums tend to go sharp on me.

The dry-down: Oh, that's much better. The sweetness and the flowers have now combined. Think I'll have to get a bottle of this, afterall. For me, this will be a lovely summer-time scent. And like Julia Stone was last year, the description is mis-leading. Old, foul things, indeed.

So flowery! If I can get past the "A yellow smell. Old foul, bad yellow things." part, it's actually a pretty floral fragrance. I might have to decant a bit and label it something like, "Pretty Happy Spring Bouquet!" to trick myself into forgetting the unfortunate imagery.

On me, it's a fresh, light, unusual floral, but with a sour undernote that I can't shake. Really not for me.
