IT CAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!
SO MANY SNIFFIES, SO FEW APPENDAGES. *DIES*
LIMITED EDITION - Lupercalia 2011 - Dolce Stil Nuovo
Love always finds shelter in the gentle heart. Dolce Stil Nuovo is a 13th & 14th century Florentine literary style that celebrates love and womanhood through heartfelt, delicate, and melodious sonnets, ballate, and canzones. This is fin'amor, Courtly Love, in its most moving form, and the emotions that these words express reflect love that both spiritual and idealized.
Within this literary movement, earthly love reaches for the Divine.
Who is she coming, whom all gaze upon,
Who makes the air tremulous with light,
And at whose side is Love himself? that none
Dare speak, but each man's sighs are infinite.
Ah me! how she looks round from left to right,
Let Love discourse: I may not speak thereon.
Lady she seems of such high benison
As makes all others graceless in men's sight.
The honor which is hers cannot be said;
To whom are subject all things virtuous,
While all things beauteous own her deity.
Ne'er was the mind of man so nobly led
Nor yet was such redemption granted us
That we should ever know her perfectly.
Our interpretation of Dolce Stil Nuovo is a blend of rose otto, carnation, vanilla flower, lavender and jasmine with the clarity of crystalline white musk and the warmth of golden amber.
In The Bottle: Oh, hey lavender. 'Sup?
Immediate Application: This is either really well blended, or my nose really sucks. I can't tell where one note ends and another begins for the most part. ^^;; (Then again, I'm a perfume n00b who has no clue what most of the components smell like on their own, so. Yeah.)
30-45 Minutes: The initial sharpness fades and it becomes a lot sweeter. I think I'm looking for something a bit different for a romantic!perfume, but this may be a pretty good daily-routine perfume. :D I'll try it again later on in the month to see if I still feel the same.
All in all, me likey. :D
