#shadow.smell

here are the vibes: it's the first cold day of the season, and you're a medieval nun taking a wool blanket out of a chest, shaking the dust out and letting it air. the blanket holds onto many of the familiar scents around you: medicinal herbs, incense, the old wood of the chest itself. both my partner and somebody on fragrantica say it smells like a mosque basement

my favourite dandelion perfume so far, others i have tried tended to be a bit too soapy to really capture a proper dandelion smell. this one is nice and sappy, bitter, vegetal, more of the leaf than the flower. dries down to a softer creamy greenness. has a little hint of weed to my nose, but this may be because i wore it while exercising. there is definitely a bit of sweetness but not as much as the accord list would suggest.
