Courtly Love - Possets
Details:
Courtly Love
Possets Perfume
Notes:
The slow stately thromb of courtly love as the man adores his lady and shows his love every day. Coconut (here used more as a serious element rather than a novelty) dances with apricot and a light kiss of vanilla and a very sweet, not stinky, jasmine to make a honey-ed note stand out. Swoony nice.
I wore this for three days in a row because it was so pretty. It's just a sweet, girly gourmand, but something about it just kept me gravitating back for another wear. In the vial I can smell the jasmine and vanilla - it's a prettier than usual version of any number of white floral vanilla scents. Once applied, the coconut comes out and the jasmine just kind of hovers around the edges - this is definitely a foody perfume rather than a flowery one. The coconut is more creamy than coconut generally is in perfume, and the apricot makes it smell like a delicious dessert - it reminded me of something custardy like a pannacotta or a crème anglaise.
Sillage was medium to low - it didn't really scream its presence at all, but I could smell it when I moved my arm. It didn't last a long time though - it was virtually gone in 3 hours or so.

Day 157!
This is amazing on me as well. Perfect scent for the summer! Have you tried anything from the Posset's Spring update (Sacred Geometry)? I have 5 bottles in my cart right now but I am just not sure!
ReplyDeleteNo, none of the Sacred Geometry ones really jumped out at me. I'm waiting to see what the summer ones are.
