Twilight
TWILIGHT - Lavender and jasmine, with a touch of glowing honeysuckle.
IN THE IMP: JASMINE. Followed by woody, cool lavender. No honeysuckle, as usual for me.
ON SKIN: Fresh, astringent lavender - smells more like the stalks than the foliage or blossoms to me - over the heavier jasmine. Still no honeysuckle, but it's surprisingly calming and refreshing, despite the jasmine. I wouldn't say that it's very pleasing, but it's not actively displeasing, either. This is going to be one of those blends that wibbles in and out of my "keep" box for a while without ever claiming a place there for certain. Hmm. Strong throw.
LATER: Jasmine becomes the dominant note, but manages not to be the headache-causing sort of blazing floral that it often is. This is more of a warm, shimmery yellow floral - still very potent, but not at all piercing, with the soft edge of lavender somewhere in the background to keep it fresh. A very summer evening-y scent, indeed.
