Sunny Incense
This perfume is part of the Flight of the Bumblebee line of MCG, which incorporates a beeswax note in each perfume of this series.
Leucò opens with a blast of cistus warmed by the spiciness of black pepper.
Then, it smells like soft incense throughout its duration. It's never overpowering. Perhaps the flowery notes used help mitigate the trance state inducing, cloying potential incense notes can have.
However, I cannot detect any lily in this perfume. What a pity, it's my favourite flower after all!
None of that deep, floral sweetness a freshly opened bloom has. (on my skin, at least. On paper it gives me a different impression.) A faint sweetness comes up as it loses projection but it's not a super sticky honey.
I would describe this perfume as dry and warm for most of its duration.
After all it's not bad. It's a light and bright incense with faint tuberose traces, it's quiet, delicate and well behaved. It reminds me of a sunny day in autumn.
Sometimes, it has something that reminds me of the mediterranean sea, the faintest hint of salt.
Maybe it is because the name of the perfume makes me think of Leucothea, the lesser-known, white greek goddess of the sea.
