PERFUME: The
field of Reeds
COMPANY:
Possets
AVAILABILITY: Permanent
OFFICIAL
DESCRIPTION: Relief
and relaxation, paradise Egyptian style. Sweet sandalwood
and two ambers,
a touch of wood
for reeds,
and a kiss of golden
musk,
black
pepper married
with a drop of
labdanum and
this conjures the eternal happy golden light in which the elect must
have bathed every day. A smooth and resinous sweet blend but with
enough of the spice kick of a modern perfume to escape being
downright primative.
BEFORE I SMELL: The
scent of Aaru the Heaven for the Ancient Egyptians. Filled with Reeds
which are something like papyrus if I am not mistaken.
This
poppet was sent to me as a freeby. Black pepper doesn't always work
for me but I am wondering how reeds smell and how Heavenly this is.
FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE:
Black pepper, lots of resins
and something slightly medicinal.
WET ON SKIN: The
black pepper is very well blended and it doesn't overpower the blend
so fear not! The labdanum and the sandalwood are the stars of the
show. It's not a green scent, at least on me. It's very woody,
unisex and resinous.
DRY DOWN: The
musks and the woods are so beautiful when the black pepper eventually
goes away. It's almost like this one has a drop of vanilla in it.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Full
bottle without a question!

You and Dee both gave this a pretty good review! I thought this sounded pretty, though maybe not too unique. But Manor is my favorite perfume ever, so I think I will definitely need to try Field of Reeds someday!! :)
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήOhh I am wearing Manor a lot lately. They are similar but Field of reeds has a very distinct black pepper note too. I have to do a side by side comparison some day.
ΔιαγραφήI totally agree though, It's not very unique but very easy to wear and somedays I just need something like that.
