The Phoenix, Having Burst Her Shell

Recommended Posts

A perfume of freedom, regeneration, and renewal: bitter orange and tangerine with warm patchouli, tobacco absolute, glittering amber, and white musk.

 

Just now giving this a try and unfortunately it didn't stand the test of time. There's not much here now except some orangey playdough. Bummer! I bet this was lovely when it was fresh!

 

Where I'd wear this: Who knows!

The Phoenix, Having Burst Her Shell has been on my wishlist for a long time and I'm finally getting a chance to try it. The only problematic note here for me is white musk, and it seems to be very subdued in this blend. I'm getting primarily amber, bittersweet citrus and patchouli. It's not a big hippie patch; more of a structural patchouli, a scaffold for the amber and oranges. (This not a sweet, juicy blend if that's what you look for in citrus.) I'm not really getting any tobacco to speak of, but it might be contributing to the overall dry warmth of this blend. Very lovely.
