New brand alert! I got my sample set from The Midnight Visions and I'm so excited!! First of all, the packaging???? Insane. It also came with a full size post card of a medieval knight and a piece of licorice, both of which my girlfriend immediately stole. Shipping was also really fast - like a three day TAT, maybe 4?

The sample set is all references to the '60s and '70s medieval revival, which is so cool.

Flower Power: Top Notes: Incense, Spiced Tonka Bean & Forbidden Fruit, Heart Notes: Smokey Amyris Wood, Wild Jasmine & Warm Tobacco, Base Notes: Censer Ash, Virginia Cedarwood & Resinous Musk. On me, this is a sweet soapy jasmine with some vanilla and a woody base. My skin amps vanilla and woods A Lot - on paper it's more complex, smokey, and woodsy. Really pretty, generally inoffensive, smells like an expensive Indian soap.

Velvet Venus: Top Notes: Butterfly Wings, Dusty Vanilla & Rich Espresso, Heart Notes: Worn Leather, Dirty Paintbrushes & Stretched Canvas, Base Notes: Vintage Wooden Furniture, Oud & Warm Radiant Musk. Pretty and piney! This goes on leathery, smokey, and musky, and then turns into a true pine sap scent before fading into a soft vanillic musk. Definitely a more "masculine" scent - this to me is something I'd wear on a date to a dive bar or stargazing. My girlfriend grew up in rural New England and said it reminds her of home.

Dream Weaver: Top Notes: Wet Ink, Lichen & Candlestick, Heart Notes: Aged Amber, Coconut Wax & Salty Sea Mist, Base Notes: Earthy Oakmoss, Dry Driftwood & Etherial Musk. My least favorite and the most interesting? This is a salty, summery, coconut scent. It's what I think a PNW or NorCal surfer would actually smell like. It's definitely not a sweet coconut, but the DNA is present, it's not aquatic but it's salty and reminds me of the ocean, it's not light but I would only wear it in the summer. There's definitely a wood element the longer it dries down, but it's closer to real driftwood than any perfume "wood" scent. I smelled this on someone else, I'd be so confused. I'm confused smelling it on myself. I think I like it?
