Last night’s lavender drops and a whiff of Pickle’s vanilla coconut pupper shampoo.

 

Beautiful bright lavender at first. I was afraid from the scent description that it would be faint, but I was pleasantly surprised by its strength. Gradually, as it dried down, the soft coconut emerged, and the combination, which I wasn't quite sure about, is just lovely. Unfortunately, the lavender didn't last as long as I would have liked, and within an hour or so it was nearly all coconut, with an accompanying sweetness.

 

I am thinking of buying a bottle for my teenager, who adores lavender, and I need to have them try wearing it (on sniffing there was STRONG approval) to make sure the lavender lasts a little longer on their skin.

 

ETA This is aging beautifully and its staying power and throw have indeed improved. Gorgeous!

This is killer. Yes it's coconut TKO, but it also has the soft, sweet quality of The Serpentine. Yum!

Somehow I missed this scent release entirely, so when it popped up as an offer for a swap - the scent description sounded perfect. And I have been a HUGE fan of the Lilith scents, ever since Crawdad.

 

Note: Haven't tried TKO. So no comparisons for you here.

 

Bottle: Lavender. Beautiful, soft, sleepy lavender.

Initial Skin: It instantly gets... "soapy" But I say that with the most love possible. I use lavender as a bath oil - so it me it smells like bathtime. Plus something in this coconut is really clean and fresh. I swear I can smell fuzzy clean puppy hair in this. probably in my mind, but so lovely.

Drydown: Coconut starts to bloom beautifully. This is legit coconut to me - not plastic or fake or suntan-y. This feels like coconut cream. Backing up a still herbal natural lavender that's staying strong.

 

Verdict: This is absolutely stunning for me. It's a soft, gentle scent. and it's NOT soft in throw. It's actually fairly powerful on the scent-front; but it's such a calm scent that you could drown in this and love it. I'm going to be trying this in the diffuser in the house. It might also be nice to keep AT work, for those stressful moments I feel I might go homicidal. So relaxing and calming. Nom.
