... so I'm sitting on my front porch (it's the first time that it's warm enough to do it this spring) while sipping English Breakfast Tea and testing Morella.
Ladies and gentlemen, this blend is perfect for combing through your hair. Child angels don't have it this good.
In the bottle, it smells of light herbs and lots of sudsy soap. On the skin, however, it smells very, very faintly of baby's skin, of creamy herbs and of having washed with orris and iris soap (the florals are there, but they're in a supporting role -- they're not there to stand up and look pretty -- and they blend in well).
As the oil dries further, there comes out a hint of something else that makes the scent: I can't quite put my finger on it, but it reminds me of tea, hair that's been heated by the sun, the color brown -- it's hot, but it's not smoking or scorched. It's comforting and completely wearable.
What's there to say? Morella is completely unobtrusive, non-offensive and a total skin scent: on me, she's very, very faint. She's is a natural beauty, no question about it.
Come back to GC, Morella! I want to make body products out of you!
