NOCTURN

interesting

Interesting… I thought this was going to be more of an incense fragrance but it’s very plum forward on the opening, and then the rose. I didn’t get much incense until the dry down and you REALLY got to get in there to detect it. Dry down is also a bit…. grandma? It’s an interesting fragrance, I will say that. I will have to wear it a few more times and let it react to the weather plus my chemistry.

The scent of the sexiest head shop ever

You have an idea of what you're in for with an incense-forward scent - but you won't be prepared for the ooooh that comes after. This one hits. Hard.

I could see Neve Campbell's character in The Craft, Bonnie Harper, wearing this. Or BTSO releasing something similar. Per the brand, "This is the taste of a clove cigarette in the back of the club. This is sexy goth girl laundry. Unique, dark, clean and also dirty.". This is a very accurate image. Immediately, with the first spray you get smoky plum, not clean smoke, cigarettes old and new and plum that is both fresh and almost over-ripe, a tinge of sour. Patchouli that is a little musty and a litte sweet, the dried sweat and cosmetics after a night of dancing. And somehow it works. The plum lingers under the spicy clove and changing smoke, not quite fruity, the gorgeous goth girl with a wicked grin. I'm quite enamored with the fragrance. Not blind-buy or office safe, unless you don't work in corporate/adjacent. Solid longevity and projection, not kicking you in the teeth or choking a room, but certainly noticeable.
