Midsummer Night's Dream : The Scented Djinn Peaseblossom

 "Peaseblossom ,
quiet fairy be ,
shyly collects dewdrops
to steep the petals which he passes
on his merry way through the sylvan woods
A sweet perfume to present to his
Golden Fairy Queen " 

Ah Justine has created a beautiful , resonant scent with great finesse . This is at once sunny and deep , grassy , floral , resinous .
I love it !
I consider this a very sophisticated composition , the top notes are unusual with her tinctured wheatgrass adding freshness and green tinged sunshine , the heart is well blended , the base is deep and earthy ( love the mitti , she has used it with a deft hand ! ) . I will wear this joyfully .

Notes : wheatgrass tincture , oakmoss tincture , ambrette hydrosol , benzoin , lavender , clary sage , carnation , tonka bean , rose otto , patchouli , mysore sandalwood , vetyver mitti , honey , jasmine sambac , tolu balsam

please follow the discussions over at Amandas , here .

*claps her hands 3 times* "I believe in fairies! Don't you?"

Carol, this sounds like a delightful perfume! Justine is wonderfully talented, and a genuine and kind person too! I am interested in the wheatgrass, as this is a new one for me.

Thank you so much for playing along!
