Amsterdam (imp direct from lab) - 2/6
Lab description: Tulips, peony, fresh flowing water and crisp green grasses.
Ribbons's reaction: Oh. Oh, oh yes. Yes, yes, yes.
Peacock Queen 2007 (decant, limited edition) - 2/6
Lab description: In dramatic contrast to the soft innocence of Snow White and the dew-kissed freshness of her sister, Rose Red, this is a blood red, voluptuous rose, velvet-petaled, at the height of bloom. Haughty and imperious, vain, yet incomparably lovely to the eye, but thick with thorns of jealousy, pride and hatred.
Additional: Have seen others describe it as a "pure" rose, and good for layering/combining with other scents.
Ribbons's reaction: light and lovely, but I think I know someone it'll suit even better...
Obatala (tester) - 2/6
Lab description: Obatala’s ofrenda is soft, white and pure: milk, coconut meat, shea butter and cool, refreshing water.
Ribbons's reaction: blancmange. Nice, but not for me.
Hamadryad (imp direct from lab; discontinued) - 2/3
Lab description: Seven dry woods with mossy lichen and a gentle breeze of forest flowers.
Ribbons's reaction: Light and pleasant. Reminds me of Juliet. Other people's reviews appear to be all over the place, with reports of significant variations between batches, and mentions of cinnamon, mint, wintergreen, and/or resin (more than one reviewer complained it was like wearing Vaporub or Ben Gay); all I really smell are the flowers, and they're nice.
