it's perfect. i'm obsessed. if you are a fan of spooky scents, don't even hesitate
this is straight up walking into a funeral parlor or one of those little shops by the cemetery.
it's a super photorealistic chrysanthemum together with a very well executed white lily, and i am also getting gerbera there, all of them with stems and leaves and everything.
it opens up with a weird, spooky, almost chemical smell - sort of like embalming fluid, a clean corpse in a casket, or maybe it's paraffin candles, or spools of cheap curling ribbons? it disappears in the drydown and changes the mood of this perfume, letting you know that the funeral's over, that the only thing you're left with now are the flower wreaths upon the mound of fresh dirt.
i'm also positively surprised with the wear time of this one (considering it's demeter), on my skin it stays for around 5-6 hours while on the clothes i can still catch it after 12.
(works great combined either with perles de lalique or myrrh & tonka - you either get a ghost on a frosty, foggy morning at the cemetery, or a vampire wrapped in a cashmere blanket, being all cozy in their old gothic mansion)
