Not what i was expecting
Woah. L’Interdit literally smells like cinnamon Red Hots. Not what I as expecting at all, but I think weirdly enough I like it better than I would have if it were closer to the listed notes? It’s certainly sweet-spicy, vibrant, and more than a little flirty. I never liked Red Hots themselves, but a perfume evoking their essence might have been exactly what I needed in my collection.
a fiery minx
At first spray, Very Good Girl is cheery and bright, with the juicy cherry and lychee drawing you in. Once she has you, though, this good girl reveals her dark side in a flash of tuberose, vetiver, and spicy metallic cinnamon. You’re already hungry for more, she has you in her trap and she knows it. It’s a rollercoaster of a night in the heart and drydown, but the soft vanilla and berry stays the whole time, guiding you through. This girl knows how to play innocent to get what she wants, and what she wants right now is you.
my thoughts. i guess
putting this as a review bc it was too long for a statement. i wrote something about this perfume last night and it ended up being one of the most majestic things ive ever written. my bottle has been sitting for years now which i hear brings the scent to a more sweet than green for most, but i don’t fully get that with mine. mine leans a bit more earthy now, it’s very nice. what i can say for sure about haiku tho is that she is bright and strong and loves you so much. she rides a really cool e-bike everywhere and will pick you up and take you to her secret garden in the woods and show you things that you thought you’d never see. the scent is light and fresh but the strength is incredible, haiku works out and it shows. you secretly come to her cabin by the garden and notice shes in her outdoor shower after getting all sweaty chopping wood. it’s cold outside, and there’s a light covering of snow on the ground, but as soon as she steps out you feel so completely warm. she giggles at your attempt to surprise her and comes to embrace you. she is wrapped in nothing but a fluffy white towel and warm water is still dripping from her skin and hair. she smells of jasmine, and cherry, and yuzu, and orange blossom. she kisses you, roughly but lovingly, demanding your attention. and for just a moment, everything is perfect. that is what haiku smells like to me.
