Lake & Skye perfume
So I had ordered this 'discovery set' a while back.
From the fragrance description I thought I'd really love 11:11. I was expecting ambery and soft, I got ozone and 'clean'....like detergent and/or window cleaner, slightly oceanic. not for me. "The best selling, 2x award-winning blend of musk and white ambers."...not so much.
I then tried Midnight 07 - "An alluring, fruity fragrance balancing 07 key notes including yuzu, amber, vetiver, rose, fig, vanilla and patchouli." Sophisticated, very classic almost vintage perfume scent. A 'date night' type scent. Very grown up. I liked it very much but something in it gave me a headache. I suspect vetiver.
This morning, after my shower, I tried Cote Du Paradis - "A sweet and uplifting scent inspired by sunny beach days with notes of palo santo, almond, and tonka bean. " - initial impression was almost a suntan lotion type scent, then settles down to the vanilla/almond kind of scent, then *poof* gone.
Finally, we have Saffron Dusk " Dark florals, spicy woods and a musky cool. A blend of saffron, pepper, neroli, rose and vetiver. ".... initial impression : this is pee. second impression: okay, not pee. Just ferrets. and some kind of floor cleaner, or something.
so, nope.
I'm liking Bath & Body Works "Moonlit Graveyard" ...I went there this past weekend and the Halloween stuff was almost gone. Most of the halloween scents were fruity and vanilla-y and not great. But Moonlit Graveyard is a pleasant, amber musk that I like pretty well. I got the room spray.
And I got a copal & opoponax spray from hexeh that is nice. Not enough copal. But soft and velvety and sweet and woody.
And I should probably stop spending money on scents...
