I was writing this here for the Scents Sibyl forum boards because notepad always crashes on this phone. I decided to publish it because why not, love of perfume deserves to be shared!
"Luscious abundance.
Homemade pies and preserves brimming with spiced pear, blackberry, apricot and currant. Wear this confection to attract pleasure and feelings of contentment. Anoint pink or gold candles to manifest luxury and creature comforts."
From the vial: sugared and spiced currant and apricot. Bit syrupy.
Wet on the skin: very jammy apricot and berries with a hint of mulling spices. There might be a quick flash of pastry note, but it's so ephemeral that I wondered if it was worth mentioning.
Dry on skin: still fruity. Though it's not your fresh summery fruit salad; it's seasoned, cooked, canned, and comforting. Berries, dark and warm. A pear that is rather shy indeed, macerating in its own syrup in the background of the picture.
I was told there would be pie, but I suppose someone took the crust and ran away with it, leaving the fillings behind. No pastry note in the slightest.
2 hours in: this fella isn't a big morpher. The apricot is back, but warmer than at the beggining. Sweet and round. At this point is it a bit closer to the skin
Projection at its strongest: half an arms lenght. I get it on full blast while I knit, but I get only an elusive whiff when my arms are fully extended (I dabbed on my wrist)
Longevity: becomes a nondescript skin scent after 5-ish hours.
