Went up like the wings of the cherubim.The water-lilies so cold and fair
Were tangled with tresses of bright brown hair.The osiers bent with a quiet grace
over a form with a still, white face.The river flow’d with a desolate moan,
And dead leaves fell on the cold grey stone.
– Sarah T. Bolton

Claire –
Honestly a little puzzled by this one! I wasn’t very familiar with any of the three ingredients, so I knew I was in for an adventure. Both in the bottle and when I first put it on my immediate association was baby powder. For more detail, it’s a kind of faintly aquatic, powdery scent with the barest touch of what I’m going to describe as a root kind of smell? Not quite earthy, but close enough. Very clean. Not how I’d describe baby powder exactly, but somehow it’s quite similar.
This one stays close to the skin and in many ways results in a “skin amplified” kind of scent. I imagine this will be great for layering. In short, I do like it; it’s subtle and inoffensive. As an aside, I also really enjoy the seven word story; so tragic and evocative.
