I have been genuinely traumatized by smells today. A mouse died in my wall and I’m stuck inside with the stench for two weeks. This evening I tried Lil for the first time and I genuinely think this is the most sinister, diabolical fragrance I have ever experienced in my life. I have never smelled anything like it, it is so oppressively inhuman, sour, and darksided that it conjures a demonic banishment. It is feminine in the tiny slivers of comprehensible feedback, slight references to candy or fruit but only the most abrasive or citric of said categories. I’m scared (but I’m keeping it forever). Bravo, Lilith!!

Vetyver Bucolique is incredibly raunchy in a boozy, drunken way— but not like wine or liquor, more like the saccharine smell of hay fermenting from too much heat and moisture. I’m imagining drunk sheep and goats stumbling around a dimly lit barn, lapping up drips of sweet liquid falling from the hay loft. Awesome :)

I'm not exactly sure what I mean by this but Rêve d'Ossian feels like sucking on a smooth pebble that was candied in burnt sugar. It is distinctly cold, but gives the impression that it was once imbued with heat or flame and has been left out to cool. I wore this on a recent trip of Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, and it felt so appropriate. Stone graves feel more emotionally distant the older they are, their anonymity becomes more distinct as generations pass, but the inherent sentimentality of the gravesite remains-- a glimmer of sweetness defined by the function of the grave as a place of grieving, celebration, and familial preservation. A church is a cold place imbued with physical or metaphorical warmth, where worship, ceremony, etc. ignites the frigid, upright atmosphere just as much as the aroma of scorched resins or burning candles. Here, all of our attention can be brought to the sensorial encounter between the austere and the sublimely felt.

Fluffy, ricey, wispy powder. Sweet, waxy rose which feels unique. Makeupy but approaching food. Kinda reminds me of edible cosmetics from the early 2000s and also babies so it’s very MILF to me. Sexy, but carrying a diaper bag. I love this, I feel like I get to mommy cosplay even though I am distinctly against ever becoming a mother myself.
