Bottle Design and Artwork: This is a standard vial / imp size (1/32 oz) that has been decanted from Ajevie. The label features the year and the scent name in stylized large black font with the perfume company name in a more normal and smaller black font underneath it. The back of the label has the scent notes in small black font, while the spine of the label features the name of the company and year in burgundy and red font.

Scent: 

  • ITI:  Ooh, that’s really nice!  I’m getting a clove bud-dusted jasmine and ginger tea with a mossy patchouli that reads just a touch soapy in a spiced green Lush-kind of way that I think is really beautiful.
  • Wet:  Mmm, sweet green osmanthus and ozone-toned lichen with green patchouli and a subtly gingered jasmine tea create a refined combination that is fragrantly green, clean floral.
  • Dry:  After 4 hours, I’m left with a light osmanthus-sweetened jasmine tea swept with airy clove bud and the merest suggestion of languid patchouli and white ginger.  It’s languid and greenly sensual, which I do like. 

Other Impressions:  [Wet] “Lemongrass, a touch of rose, powder, and a resiny overtone.” -Tony
