I mean look at this. The packaging is gorgeous and reminds me of something in my grandmas house I'd intensely stare at but never ask about, because I was a strange and quiet child, but secretly smell later. And as much as I'd love to have this adorn my very own counter, this scent is discontinued. Unfortunately I have a hyperfixation-like mindstate with certain scents, I scour the internet until I can get my hands on a sample. I've had it with this one, and I did.

Website Text: "If you go down to the woods today... a fragrant carpet of bluebells awaits. Breathe deep. Citrus, hyacinth, clove. An eau de toilette reminiscent of childhood escapades in the fresh, dewy spring."

My Notes: I've stumbled upon this in search of a hyacinth scent. And it does provide that very distinct note of spring I long for, but it's also much more than that. It reminds me of and old lady's perfume bottles and lotions - fresh, clean, powdery, floral. It really opens up on you with an explosion of flowers you cant discern, your brain just tells you laundry perfume and fresh sheets. They eventually settle, become more sophisticated and grown. The citrus and clove are not upfront, they help pull the whole thing back into a more calm direction as it dries down. The general theme is keeps going on though! Unfortunately it doesn't last very long, at least on my skin, which can be excused by it being an eau de toilette.

Eagle Owls-  canonically bigger than cats. They also have a talon crushing force strong enough to crack a human skull.If Eagle owl fights cat, eagle owl win.

But, luckily for Pen, Figaro is more person sized than real cat sized; whereas Pen is eagle owl sized.
