Sun-warmed flower crown and golden, drippy honeycomb
An exceptional honey note that smells like sunbeams shining through fresh honey on an early summer afternoon. It has just enough depth to make it realistic without too much beeswax pungency that can underline honey notes (I love honey funk and beeswax, but it wouldn't work well here).
I tend to go dark with my scents, but was surprised at how taken I was with Vasilisa's burst of golden optimism. It starts sweet but not syrupy, and blooms slowly towards soft, sun-baked chamomile, sunflower, and grassy hay notes. A trip to the countryside that's a bit wild and barefoot under its niceties - like a May Day celebration you've been invited to but don't fully understand.
It's a spring/summer scent, but I also enjoy it in winter when I'm feeling cooped up or uninspired and need a reminder that warmth and life are around the corner.
