Labyrinth: Fairy Bites
Osmanthus and raw honey with lavender, chamomile, white peppermint, raspberry, honeysuckle, thyme, bergamot, and Dracula orchid.
In decant: minty, but soft, with a pleasant herbal mix: lavender, chamomile, and a bit of honeysuckle. Quite pleasant!
Wet on skin: the mint is very soft, subdued, with a pleasing sweetness to it, with the herbs wafting about. Now I'm getting lavender and thyme most of all. It's very well-blended. The mint is fading every so slowly as the blend dries.
Dry: soft herbal, with only a hint of mint, but it does retain that coolness. The raspberry has also come out for me now--the sweetness mentioned before has a definite "red" tinge to it, but it doesn't push this blend towards the fruity side. Definitely more like an herbal blend with a touch of red, raspberry-ish sweetness. Sniffing this maybe thirty minutes on, something is giving this blend a "grandmothery" feel for me.
Verdict: I was a little on the fence about this blend, but the grandmothery note that pops up here does tip this towards the "really nice, but not for me" category. Otherwise it's definitely a very pretty blend!
