Availability: General Catalog
Notes: mixes poppies with honey, vanilla, cinnamon and clove.
First impression out of bottle: Powdery sweet baby oil
Freshly applied: Old-fashioned baby oil with a hint of spice
Drydown: There's a hint of soft gold honey, some spice, but it's mostly that round, musky sweetness that smells like really expensive baby oil. It's not gross and chemical-y or too sweet, but it smells SUPER babyish/old-fashioned. I actually don't hate it but I doubt I would wear this much. There's something more sophisticated and resinous that stops this from being a purely face-cream scent.
After several hours: Not much spice left, mostly sweet round baby oil. This is a very simple but expensive-smelling scent. It smells like a luxurious midcentury ladies cosmetic product.
Longevity: High
Sillage: Medium
Would an [X] lover love this? I think if you love the scent of baby oil, old-fashioned cosmetics (like Pond's Cold Cream, Nivea, etc), or powdery scents in general, you will love this.
Would an [X] hater love this? If you hate powdery scents, this is not for you. I like it a bit, but I'm sensitive to powder and it's a little simplistic for me. I think with a touch more spice I would enjoy it more.
Where am I? Applying Nivea/Ponds before bedtime in a sophisticated powder room.
Where would I wear this? To bed, daytime, spring, summer
