Minty florals, it dried down to a soft floral. Just not for me.

And by that light around the dome appear,d
A mournful garden of autumnal hue,
Its lately pleasing flowers all drooping stood
Amidst high weeds that rank in plenty grew.

The Primrose there, the violet darkly blue,
Daisies and fair Narcissus ceas,d to rise,
Gay spotted pinks their charming bloom withdrew.
And Polyanthus quench,d its thousand dyes.

No pleasant fruit or blossoms gaily smil,d,
Nought but unhappy plants or trees were seen,
The yew, the myrtle, and the church-yard elm,
The cypress, with its melancholy green.

There cedars dark, the osier, and the pine,
Shorn tamarisks, and weeping willows grew,
The poplar tall, the lotos, and the lime,
And Pyracantha did her leaves renew.

The poppy there, companion to repose,
Display,d her blossoms that began to fall,
And here the purple amaranthus rose
With mint strong-scented, for the funeral.

And here and there with laurel shrubs between
A tombstone lay, inscrib,d with stains of woe,
And stanzas sad, throughout the dismal green,
Lamented for the dead that slept below.

A sorrowful graveyard bouquet of somber blooms, funereal boughs, dismal green and laden with grief.


This is not the type of scent that I typically like, but all I can say is that it's beautiful. Very light, slightly sweet, with pale florals and just a small hint of green. This doesn't smell dark at all to me. It brings to mind the beginning of spring, when the mornings are crisp and slightly chilly. On me, it's basically the same wet as it is dry. While I wouldn't wear it (I'm more into foody scents), I would like to smell it on someone around me, if that makes sense, haha.

It smells so good from imp, gorgeous floral bouquet, slightly sweet. When wet, still the same on me, very pretty.
Unfortunately, after 30 minutes, it turned into BO on me.. no joke.. swapping this right away!

Oh, this one is just gorgeous. The name is perfectly evocative of what it smells like - on me, this is flowers and the woods and even a swamp at night. It's sorrowful and subdued, but beautiful at the same time. It is so well blended I can't isolate one or two notes. Upon application it is very green, with flowers poking their heads out upon drydown. Love it and will have to pick up a bottle for when I want to feel really still and quiet.
