House of Mirrors Atmosphere Spray

[Lycanthrope]

Warm vanilla dripping with golden amber, glittering with a shard of silvered glass.

So, right off the bat, for those of you jonesing for the House of Mirrors like Carnaval Noir original line (gah! How long have I been collecting!), this is not quite it in balance, although it definitely has similar elements of polished sweetness and a kiss of aquatic-floral-ozone. This is primarily vanilla-forward with a backdrop of amber, the good, sweet, rich, honeyed type. I get not as much smoke, so it's not reading so much incense as it is resin. I get a tiny touch of muguet like Sea of Glass (one of my favorites), but is indeed a sliver and not very strong overall. It is there, though, and there is the peep of glinty aquatic peering through that makes this not entirely a rich foody amber. I like this a lot, but I'm also partial to the ozonic, light florals like Sea of Glass. It's remarkable. I hiked back to the con and got three more.

For me this starts off as a warm shot of cotton candy that expands into amber and then turns into a shivery cold scent that evokes a quite cold long mirrored hallway.

This is beautiful!

It's a blast of not-to-sweet vanilla and amber, but I don't really get anything related to glass from it. It also doesn't last very long, but it is absolutely wonderful while it lasts

So good. Vanilla, amber and a hint of glassy elements. This one smells sophisticated, rich and lovely. The vanilla is not too foodie and it's just lovely in general.

I was lucky enough to snag this from Etsy and it lives up to the hype. It's definitely primarily vanilla with a smooth rich amber. I do also get a fresh silvery wisp as well. It's almost floral almost airy almost watery to me. I find it almost impossible to describe.

 

Overall the scent is very smooth and rich. It's a lovely scent.

This is an amazing cold vanilla scent, it's really good. It reminds me a bit of Black Opal, it has the same cold glassy vibe.

This was the Denver Comic Con exclusive that I was most excited about, and it did not disappoint. It is mostly amber and vanilla goodness. I'm not exactly sure what the silvered glass note is derived from, although I do get that feel from it whenever I spray it. I agree with Lycanthrope's description of a light, ozonic floral note.

If you are worried about the glass note, but love amber and vanilla, don't be afraid of this. It is GLORIOUS.
