You Bring The Whiskey - Poison Apple Apothecary


Details: 
You Bring The Whiskey
Agnes Scott Collection / Fall Seasonal Rotation
Poison Apple Apothecary

Notes:
Based on our beloved tune, this boozy scent is heavy on the sweet southern whiskey and has lighter notes of Madagascar vanilla.

This is simply a rich, boozy vanilla liquor. It doesn't change much from first sniff to dry down, except that the dry down is slightly less boozy and slightly more vanilla-y. If you like vanilla, you'll probably love it - it's a grown up version, akin to something like Wiggle Perfume's Speakeasy Vanilla. I bought a full bottle unsniffed when it was on sale and I'm glad I did, because I love it. Sillage is medium - and if you ladled too much on it would probably be pretty high. It lasts a long time - I've had it on for about 6 hours now and I can still smell it when I move my wrists around. Gorgeous.

Lady Victoria - Poison Apple Apothecary



Details:
Lady Victoria
Poison Apple Potions

Notes:
An embodiment of the Victorian Gothic era. A lady in all outward appearances, but there may be something darker lurking underneath…. Jasmine and Vanilla laid gently upon an enigmatic veil of musk.

This is one of my favourite perfumes and I don't wear it often enough. After deciding that I'm going to use my 'spesh' things instead of just buying them and hoarding them away, I pulled this out for a go around the block. There's nothing really complex about it - it's pretty much exactly as described. In the bottle and applied it's a gorgeous, lush blend of jasmine and vanilla. The musk comes out in the dry down and it lasts for hours. The sillage is medium. If you dab a smidge on your wrists it sits fairly close to the skin, but if you slather it on it does have a bit of throw.

Edit: I just realised that this smells quite similar to Solstice Scents Nightgown, so if you like the sound of this one, then that's worth checking out.
