The Most Perfect Lily
This is a flower blossom bonanza, that's airy and light, yet grounded too. It didn't start out that way though. It started out very strange, and a little hard to describe, like a dank earthiness. I just was not sure where this was going, though it wasn't offensive enough where I felt the urge to wash it off. Just a little dark and weird. Fortunately, that opening salvo passes soon enough to reveal a beautiful floral scent.
This is the most beautiful lily perfume I've ever smelled. Lily is front and center in this scent and has a wonderful earthiness that brings to mind lilies grown in situ. I also love the ambrette in this. It adds a subtle animalic muskiness to this scent that is soooo sexy. But what really sets this apart for me from so many others big floral perfumes of today is the underlying mossiness reminiscent of vintage perfumes of the past. I had no idea where that was coming from until I looked more closely at the note profile. Honestly, I was still a little perplexed until I read up on the note Cabreuva. I've never smelled that note in any perfume before but am enchanted by what it adds to this scent, which is an earthy mossiness similar to oakmoss, yet lacking that note's greenness. Between it, and the ambrette, it provides this beautiful musky, mossy base from where the floral notes float around it. And while silage does go down to a discrete level, I was aware of it and catching lovely wafts all day. Just beautiful!
