ramblingrambler Report post Posted May 15, 2018 A burst of apricot silk, blood orange musk, French lavender, and red benzoin chypre in a gilded sledge of amber. Oh, wow. This smells beautiful. When I first got it in a blind swap, I didnt think it would work for me, as all I smelled was lavender. I tested it out today and powered through, and I am so glad I did. The lavender, though still there, is but a whisper and recedes far into the backgroundfar enough to let the blood orange and apricot dominate with amber as support... the lavender gives it a surprise twist, I guess. Usually I cant do anything with any lavender, but this works.Thanks for sending in our blind swap, aphrodite! <3ETA: I spoke too soon. Seems like the lavender sticks around until way after the other notes wear away. Ill see what my BF or mother thinks of it before swapping it away because it really is so beautiful if someone can deal with lavender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
