Mistletoe (partial bottle of 2007 obtained via resale)
Lab description: The plant of peace in Norse tradition. If enemies met in the forest and came upon a sprig, they laid down their arms and observed a truce until the next sunrise. Offered in 2004, 2005, and 2007.I don't know which year mine is from.
Notes noted on Scent Scribbles: pine, holly berry, mistletoe.
Ribbons's reaction: shiny velvet. On the light side, and faded out within five hours. It's the scent I'm wearing throughout Christmas School (I also own a vial of Yule that is at least two or three years old; it has a much sharper, more needle-y scent)
Notes from 12/21 (imps from sweet![[insanejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/ij-userinfo.gif)

Darkness
Lab description: "Bottled gloom; the essence of oblivion. Blackest opium and narcissus deepened by myrrh."
Ribbons's reaction: Not sure what I think. Kind of a cross between velvet and nib cleaner. First impression is that it's faint enough that it wouldn't work as stay-awake aromatherapy, but that's trying it after Danube, which came across as stronger.
Rapture
Lab description: "Sensual ecstasy, the blinding red fire of the apex of sexual pleasure: Moroccan rose, Sumatran rose, mandarin, Egyptian myrrh, night-blooming jasmine, bergamot and neroli thrust into Arabian musk."
Ribbons's reaction: Pleasant -- I wouldn't call it blindingly sensual, but I do like the rose + orange combo.
Danube
Lab description: "Rhododendron and bellflower petals swirl through deep, cool, dark aquatic notes."
Ribbons' reaction: If deep blue had a scent, it might be this. It's on the sweet side, but with an intriguing edge to it.
