*Review composed in 2021 The stars decided to shine a little luck my way at the end of November 2020 into February 2021 as I won several giveaways on social media. This was my last and my head is still swimming from these amazing opportunities and generous indie shops. Velvet & Sweetpea's Purrfumery (having quite possibly the most adorable theme and elegantly done aesthetic I have ever encountered and this natural perfumery shop creates lux fragrant products with rare ingredients sourced from all over the world but also gives back to different funds and foundations; their most recent raise awareness project is for the endangered Pangolin). Luminous Lemurs Solid Perfume (Gathered Notes: Blood Orange, Ylang Ylang, Madagascar Vanilla, Egyptian Carnation, Clove, Nutmeg, Sandalwood and Cinnamon) Solid perfumes are a new medium for me to explore and I found myself reapplying several times all over in fascination as every note and application point morphed and I guess I amplify certain notes. Short assessment, Luminous Lemurs smells like a tropical and exotic sister scent of Alkemia's Trick or Treat. The blood orange opens the experience then slowly changes over to a spiced sweet banana-like fragrance coming from the ylang ylang then a distinct creamy carnation heart appears. The woody spices (even with a hint of hidden liquorice) and romantic vanilla finish out the 3 and half hours and I can see why this fragrance won so many awards. |
