FLEUR D'ASPIRATION
This perfume made me really nostalgic! I couldn't pinpoint the flower. Honeysuckle? Gardenia? Neither of those seemed quite right. When I looked at the notes and saw plumeria it all made sense.
I have been to Hawaii several times. One particular trip when I was 12 years old stands out most. When we landed in Honolulu, my mom bought plumeria leis for me and my brothers. That's when I discovered their beauty and scent. And then I just remember stopping to smell them as often as I could--they were so unlike any other flower I had ever smelled.
Fleur d'Aspiration smells like a plumeria soliflore, just pure flowers. It literally smells like a warm, humid, island breeze. It's positively captivating!

FLEUR DE MYSTERE
This is such a beautiful perfume. Not only do I love woods, but I love to wear them in the fall, in particular. Fleur de Mystere is a floral oriental perfume that is heavily anchored with wood. I'm not saying this because of its name ("Mystere"), but the perfume smells mysterious to me. It smells like there is something spicy in it, yet at the same time it doesn't smell spicy at all, like no cinnamon or clove. That is the mysterious, oriental part about it.
The wood in this perfume is superb, and it's the note that comes out the strongest on me. I smell all the other notes too, amazingly, but they are more subdued and so well-blended that no one note in particular screams out above the rest.
What can I say? I am just in love with this stuff. It has a classic feel to it, it's elegant, and while I want to say that it's feminine, I believe it could wear really nicely on a man too because of the strong sandalwood and touch of geranium.
Sillage is soft, and longevity is 10-12 hours, which is fantastic.

PUCK'S POTION
Puck's Potion is absolutely stunning. It is an expertly blended combo of white lily with creamy notes. Don't be afraid of the pine note, as this does not wear as an evergreen, woody fragrance, it is definitely a floral. Also, I don't notice any cassis, which is fine with me as it has become one of the notes I avoid most, so kind of a miracle that I don't smell it.
The perfume has an underlying powderiness about it that makes it feel cozy, similar to white musk. There is a purity and innocence about it, and this might sound odd, but I picture Sleeping Beauty when I smell it. Not when she is sleeping, but maybe at her wedding! :)
I would love this perfume in cooler months, under a soft sweater. At the same time, I could see myself wearing it at a formal event, like a gala, with a floor-length black gown and lots of sparkling diamonds. It has a restrained, conservative elegance about it. If forced to compare to another perfume, it has the same feel as Cartier's Baiser Vole, another elegant, conservative, soft, musky and powdery perfume. But they are by no means the same.
Sillage is soft-to-moderate, and it lasted 12+ hours on me without any touching up! Excellent.
A beautiful, high-quality, natural perfume!

WHITE LOTUS
I absolutely LOVE this perfume! I go gaga for musks, and I could not believe how musky this one smelled. It smelled like white musk, sweet water and a clean and fragrant floral of some kind. The overall impression is like a laundry detergent type of musk, the same sort of musk I get in the base of perfumes like Dia Woman by Amouage, one of my favorites from that house. I find White Lotus to be a fairly casual perfume, perfect with a t-shirt and jeans or afternoon tea with the girls! Oh, and I wore it in the rain, and it is wonderful in rainy, humid weather. Sillage was soft and longevity was quite good, certainly at least 5-6 hours. Big love for me. I seriously never imagined I could find something that smells so much like white musk in a natural, botanical perfume. I love just about everything I sample from this house!
