MARCH HARE:


A twisted teatime tart: apricot and sweet clove.


Apricots, yes. Yum! I don't really get any cloves, though. Starts out strong and sweet, like an apricot liquor, and distinctly fruity. As a food scent, I vastly prefer this to Gluttony. As it dries, it softens out into...I dunno, dried apricots, or pastry with apricot. I like this a lot, and I think the fruit works on me.

Edit: Tried this for the second time, this time at work. This has amazing staying power--granted, I slathered it on, but I've done that with other perfumes and had them fade into the faintest, most generic "some kind of perfume" within five hours. This, I put on 9am, and more than twelve hours later, I can still smell it on me, recognizably apricot. Hours after it had faded into the dried apricot smell (down from the bright apricot liquor smell it starts as), I also started getting the occasional whiff of cloves, which I didn't get the first time I tried it. Neat! This works really well on me, and I never got tired of it. I was undecided about it before, but now I'm certain I want a bottle.


NOCTURNE
:

An olfactory serenede. A somber, contemplative scent -- dreamy and subdued. Deepest violet touched with lilac and tuberose.


Eh. Soap. I can get just a hint of the lilac, which is one of my favorite floral scents, but mostly, I get "purple guest soap." I think that's the violets. I'm hard-pressed to think of when I would voluntarily want to smell like guest soap. If I just want to smell like flowers, I also have a ton of Desdemona and old rose and lilac perfumes, not to mention a bunch of more promising floral imps I haven't tested yet. It also faded off of me hellishly quick, and I know from experience that others don't--Gluttony lasted well over twelve hours, and I've put Desdemona on in the morning and had it still faintly there when I left work.
