💕🦕 Complete transparency: I was sent these perfumes as a thank you for the suggestion of a Don Bluth collection someday showing up in the catalogue. Who knew a nerdy discussion about beloved animated films and iconic scenes would turn into such incredible scent artistry that would bring a tear to one's eye for the bottled nostalgia. This was a perfect challenge for Stereoplasm and they nailed it! "THE SECRET OF TIME AND HEAVEN Are you ready to unlock a secret? Take a journey into childhood with me, Sitting in front of your little TV, Going to heaven, Coming back to earth, Let's rediscover childhood's worth. Where all dogs go to heaven to stay, Where Littlefoot finds his family one day, Where Great Owl gives sound advice, Where you and I Are by stories enticed. We are so happy to share September's mini-release with you! Let these scents bring you back into the movies of your childhood days. No matter where you are, You can unlock the secret of time and heaven." ______________________________________________________ One Note At A Time: The Star Leaf (Morning dew, rich soil, nurturing chamomile, mossy stone, fresh herbs and all the star leaves you can eat) Inspired by The Land Before Time (1988) Yep, yep, yep, this one is green and wonderful! I'm immediately transported back to being 5 years old pretending the thick hollow is The Great Valley and I'm sitting on the warm summer grass under the "bright circle" mixing this and that green in a little bowl with a stick then headed indoors for supper where my mother would so cleverly convince me that I was eating "tree stars" with the fleshy vegetables on my plate whilst I could still smell the grit, grass and green moss on my knees, elbows and in my curls. I get freshly smooshed wet tree leaves with even the realistic sap, warm sunlit grass along with lemony dandelions, garden picked basil and something peppery and comforting underneath it all. If you are a nature child or just want to relive carefree childhood for a day, grab The Star Leaf! The Great Owl (Ancient amber, frankincense, bezoin and champaka in a hollow draped in thick cobwebs, glowing citronella and vetiver root) Inspired by The Secret of NIMH (1982) The champaka lends to the golden glow of this perfume that hits the nose first then these fantastic atmospherics glide in, I get the decaying bark of an ancient tree, I get the gauzy stickiness of a thousand pulsating cobwebs and The Great Owl is indeed unnerving. Hours later, an unexpected "green" marshmallow sweetness I recognize from my new obsession called Enjoy Your Waffles grabs my full attention again along with warm amber and I'm one happy lady. The longevity is about 8 to 10 hours for me. Enjoy Your Waffles (A welcoming breakfast of homemade waffles with plenty of maple syrup, coffee and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Superseded by manipulative whispers from a garden of white daises, heliotrope and magnolia) Inspired by All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989) The coffee pairing with orange juice and maple syrup should all equal a rank syrup drowned skunk on me, but it doesn't! Enjoy Your Waffles is just magical. It's warm and comforting with a genius floral atmospheric serving as a base under the soft mixture of realistic gourmand notes along with good cosy vibes that you want to wrap yourself in and never leave. This feels like home, it really does. Even though I never grew up smelling magnolia or didn't get to try waffles until I was an adult, this perfume evokes pure peace and sincere waiting love. It captures the scene in the animated feature All Dogs Go To Heaven, perfectly! Stereoplasm Comments are closed.
