Black Opal
This is an all-time favorite of mine & is one of my signature scents. If you look up "welo opal" on Google image search, the photographs found are the best representation of the feeling & visual that this exquisite concoction conjures for me. This demon juice makes me feel like I'm floating in a dark sea of welo opal with a shimmering purple crescent moon reflecting on the oily water's surface.
The only downside to this fragrance is that it lasts, at most, for only around 4-5 hours on my skin. I have been working my way through the many Lempicka scents in the hope that I'll find a longer lasting EDP variant of this scent. Sadly, I've found that the closest in dry-down is the original Lolita Lempicka EDP, but this shares only the opening in common & doesn't last as long on me as the Midnight Couture flanker.
TOP: Cherry bakewell tarts, smoky myrrh & slithers of burnt rubber in a sea of syrupy black licorice with sugary bioluminescent plankton.
MIDDLE: Resinous tonka/benzoin ocean, subdued white flowers like the transparent wings of white butterflies fluttering upon the surface, dusty sweet jasmine & iris, earthy/mossy patchouli, subtle remnants of anise, warm amaretto liqueur with a sparkler lit on top.
BASE: More buttery iris, heliotrope, vanilla, play-doh, soft & powdery violet, and a sprinkling of icing sugar.
