Copulating Mice

Bergamot, clove, hazelnut, pecan, lavender, tonka, and thyme.

In the imp: Toasty nuttiness with bergamot.
Wet: Reeally strong bergamot with a wee bit of lavender and thyme in the background.
Dry: Yummy bergamot with hints of herbs and nuts. My skin amps clove (yay!) and this became more prominent after about ten minutes, resulting in a really interesting mix of bergamot and clove with snatches of herby lavender. I really liked smelling clove in a context that wasn't 'christmassy spices'. Srsly contemplating a bottle purchase. Edited April 2, 2012 by whitsunweddings

In the bottle: Hazelnut, lavender, and bergamot.

 

Immediately after application: Same as in-bottle. The pecan is probably hiding in there with the hazelnut.

 

Warming up: It's settled into a beautiful blend of lavender, bergamot, and tonka with hints of nuts.

 

Fading: Soft lavender, tonka, and nut notes.

 

Faded: Average throw, average wear.

 

Overall: Utterly gorgeous. I want a bottle for sure.

This is such an interesting blend. Straight out of the imp, the bergamot made me sneeze and it took a lot of nerve to skin test it. I'm glad I did, though.

 

It's all bergamot and spice, with a creamy base. It smells brown and furry and it has a strong but wonderful throw. I think I might need to find a bottle!

This has a list of notes in it that would make you think it might smell herby, but it doesn’t. At all. It smells like sweet milk – lots of tonka and a light nutty overtone. I thought this was one of the ones that has rice milk in it, actually, and I was surprised that it wasn’t listed in the notes.

 

I tried this quite a while ago and really liked my decant, so I tracked down a bottle but the bottle smelled different, and not quite as good. So I re-homed that one and I think I'll just keep this decant.
