First sniff:
Sweet, cream biscuits.
First applied:
Still biscuity, with a slight tang of something citrus but I don't think it's lemon. Mandarin? Really pretty gourmand but not really getting why it's a Halloween scent. There's a very mild woody note in the background which I imagine will come out more when the top notes dry down.
After 30 mins:
More woody now but still quite sweet and biscuit/pastry-ish. When I first applied it, it seemed a little weak and I thought it might fade quickly but it's actually getting stronger as the woodiness amps up. It's very much a Sugar & Spite/Morbid The Merrier perfume - Lysa has a classic signature.
After 3 hours:
A soft, sweet but slightly boozy vanilla with a wood note adding some depth. It has faded quite a lot now - quite faint on the wrist u less I put my nose right up near it. I do like this scent a lot but I'm still baffled by its connection to Halloween. Maybe it has candy corn or something in totally not getting.
Longevity:
4 hours tops, best reapplied after about 2 hours.
Actual notes/description:
Orange blossoms dripping with sticky black honey, warm gingerbread, 3 vanillas, tea leaves and aloeswood.

I love this one! It's quite sweet and cakey on me at first but once it dries down I get more of her signature tea note, which I enjoy a lot. I didn't mind that it wasn't traditionally Halloween-y, as it was pretty much a round-up of my all-time favorite notes :)
ReplyDeleteI like it too. I don't know that I'd need a full bottle of it, though. I guess if it comes back this Halloween I'll decide then!
