PERFUME: Mother Shub's Stygian Nougat
COMPANY: BPAL
AVAILABILITY: Limited, The Miskatonic Valley Yuletide Faire
2012
OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION: A torpid black nougat with belladonna honey,
somnolent lavender, and thyme.
BEFORE I SMELL: I love lavender. When is done well is one of my
favorites notes. I also love it when it’s combined with sweeter notes like
milk, almond etc..
FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE: Almond and lavender. Exactly what I
was hoping for!
WET ON SKIN: The lavender is very strong at first, Then I
get the sweet scent from the honey mingled with the characteristic scent of
almond essence. Like the one we use in baking. It’s not a honey scent, it just
adds a little bit of sweetness.
DRY DOWN: The thyme it’s noticeable but in balance with
the other notes. It’s not overpowering. It stays close to the skin. The final
scent is pretty light, so you have to slather!!!
FINAL THOUGHTS: I really like this but you really have to like
lavender and almond to enjoy it!

Lavender and Almond is a combination I have never come across before! Interesting. I have some reservations about lavender but love almond :)
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήThe lavender is really apparent but it has enought sweetness to keep it for being extreme herbally. Maybe I will end up with a bottle of this:) I don;t think I have ever seen lavender and almond together either. They go so good together!
