Event Exclusive: Victoriana.Goth
English rose, lilac, frankincense, violet leaf, French lavender, and wisteria encased in amber and splashed lightly with a ghastly garden herb tincture.
In bottle: powdery floral. This doesn't really bode well for me, but let's try anyway! Light, feminine, and pink with white powder. Quite apt: it suddenly made me think of those powdered wigs that used to be worn (though I'm sure this smells nicer!) and while this wasn't what I expected, it's rather pleasing.
Wet on skin: mostly the same as the bottle scent, but I'm getting the herbal-ness of this more than in the bottle--the dustiness/powder I was getting earlier is actually the herbs, I can see that now. We'll see if English rose is a rose I can wear! If i dont think about it, this is still rather powdery (as opposed to herbal); and if I sniff deep enough, I actually feel like sneezing. I can pinpoint the rose and lilac, and a hint of lavender too, but the latter is not immediately apparent.
Dry: dry, this is a dusty, dusty, dusty floral on my skin. This is probably contributed to by the aforementioned herbs, the rose, and the amber--as the latter two do that to my skin almost without fail. Even so, quickly whiffing my skin test, this is a slightly powdery beautiful floral, very Victorian. The floral notes are not heady at all, they're rather elegant and kept well in check by the other notes.
Verdict: I'm sad, so far I haven't found a Bat's Day scent that works for me! This was quite promising, and actually passable, but with that horrid powder and the multitude of my other light floral blends, this doesn't make the cut, sadly.
