Thunder Moon Order
Selkie The chill waters of the Orkney coast, tea-leaved willow, honey-touched Grass-of-Parnassus, sea aster, and Scottish Primrose. An aquatic that I actually like. Hurrah! Well, just a hint of aquatic, really, it's a gentle scent - honey(suckle) with a hint of brine and overall a cool flowly scent. Flowers thrown on an outgoing tide.
Thunder Moon This is the scent of a summer storm: thick black clouds pass over this full moon, the Goddess roars, and Her Beloved hurls his forked bolts of lightning in the distant sky. Ozone deepened by liquid amber, and a spray of hot nighttime rain mingled with the scent of lightning-struck wood, water-soaked summer blooms, and sun-scorched grass. Wet and stormy, definitely. An interesting scent with a faint bitterness in the high notes that I find unappealing in a wearable scent. (I can see it being very evocative as a working scent, however.) I'm usually wary of the ozone scents, and maybe its the amber, but once this dries down, it works for me. I suspect this one might age well.
Cancer 2007 Cardinal Water: the essence of feeling. Wild lettuce, wild pear, chamomile, germanica orris, sweet pea, and mallow. I can barely smell this one in the bottle; very watery and delicate and I'm not sure its at all what I was expecting. (I was worried about a wear-test, because of the chamomile, but no reaction so far.) This starts off sweet and mellows into watery herbs - seems to have great last.
Mr. Jacquel Golden amber, hyssop, North African patchouli, and embalming spices. Just lovely. It starts off deep and earthy with the patchouli but the amber brightens it up and it gets all warm and spicy, but with a dry, papery dustiness weaving through it. Maybe a hint of herbs, but old, dry, dusty herbs that have been sealed in a clay pot for centuries. And nothing of that sweetness that I get from the gc Anubis. So glad I got this.
