Hey y'all! It's been a while since my last review, but I am excited to be trying new Sorce! Meet Me on the Sunnyside is also ordered, so I'm looking forward to that later this month.
Listed notes:
(Bergamot, Magnolia, Wisteria, Iris, White Chocolate, Sandalwood, Cashmere, Musk)
Right off the opening we get powder. Not too much for me, and I am not a powder lover. And the Purple. Reaaalllly nice purple. Excellent purple. Like goddess shampoo, makes your eyes roll back in your head a bit because of the sweet headiness that is near perfection. I think the wisteria is putting in some work here. The floral and powder and white chocolate are just GAH. So good.
Unfortunately, there is a "but" coming. Does this have a note in common with Light Through Clouds? I'm getting a bitter rubber here, that is absolutely ruining the purple vibes for me. LTC also had this same effect on me. I think it may be the way that the citrus and musk play together. I see how the bergamot in Beyond the Veil should really lift this whole thing, but it doesn't blend cohesively for me.
However: If Light Through Clouds or The Lovers is your jam, this is the purple fairy version of those. Not identical, but similar enough that I would recommend picking up a sample.
Notes for Light Through Clouds:
(Sichuan pepper, sugared lemon, green mandarin, water lily, olibanum, white tea, cloud musk, ambergris, sandalwood, gurjun balsam, vetiver, golden amber)
