Penhaligon's - An obituary of headless vegetarian scents, tenth strike
Early morning.
Lights of the deciduous forest.
The path from the small hamlet to the next village is lined with dense blue flower carpets on both sides of the narrow path.
The damp soil bounces the steps.
Steam clouds rise from the ground, against which the rays of light from the still low sun, broken by the green foliage of the gnarled trees, are clearly visible.
Dewdrops sparkle in a race.
Leaves rustle, drops fall, squirrels scurry, birds chirp.
It is still fresh, but the coming heat of the day is foreseeable.
The incident light paints a marbled pattern on the floor and makes bruises glow.
The smell of damp, cold air, the green breath of the old trees and thousands of small blue flower heads rises to the nose.
It'll be a nice day, I think.
And put the blue soap back before I leave the bathroom

Not what I hoped for...
I am undecided about this. I almost didn't buy it because I couldn't test it and because it contains clove which I dislike intensely. I love the bottle though, and I love hyacinth so when a bottle came along for a bargain price I bought it. I don't like the opening, I immediately smell that harsh clove note above everything else. It faded after about 5 minutes and settled into a greenish hyacinth that turns a little powdery. The clove along with the cinnamon appeared again as it dried down, but was less harsh and overpowering. I like it, and will definitely wear it, but it's not what I hoped for, and I'm not likely to purchase it again.

it hates me
When I sniffed it in the sample tube, it was quite pleasant. But then I put it on. It started out as a combination of screechy dandelion stems, the body odor of an unhealthy dog, and cloves. Mercifully, it dried down to cloves with a hint of dog skin. 1.5 hours later, the dog odor was, happily, gone. But all that was left was cloves & a synthetic floral scent (a cheap room freshener, maybe?). I'm jealous of people who smell English countryside in here. (041710)
