Beautuful Stench Part One (Blast from the Past)




It's that scent that smells like maybe it could be pretty but dangerous with a stench to it and you say to yourself should i be smelling like this? that does not smell like the norm and i say to you what is the norm. Beautiful Stench are the scent that i treasure the most and use the less, why do you say because they should always be there in my stash for me to visit.

Two of my old lovelies are from Little Flowers and if i knew then what i know now i should have collected a few full bottles but i have only samples of Desert Rain and Sepia Perfume and now they are gone and her shop on ETSY is closed due to her illness.

Desert Rain- Smells like parched earth when the fist drop of rain its the soil and then comes the beautiful synergy that Mother nature plays upon our senses. This scent captures my heart and steal my soil with every note from the top with the wormwood, then its moves to the heart with orange blossom and frangipani, then down to the base with notes like rock rose and oudh then a little surprise with violet leaf, and it has other notes that make this fine as aged wine.

Sepia- Unlike the sweetness of Desert Rain Sepia is rather sharp even the guys like this one ,is it because of the leather theme? maybe but i can tell you what mi gal thinks. with top notes of hiba wood and basil, then moving to the heart with two kinda rose and champaka, then on to the base with tobacco and ambrette seed and to sweaten the deal with mimosa and kewda. What a delight.

  1. I bought her Adzuki facial cleanser and lime grotto perfume sample a while back. I too wish that I had bought the full size perfume, but back then I didn't appreciate natural perfumes as I do now, and always thought I could get more...

    Thanks for the review. You have a keen insight into scent. Nice to find a kindred soul in the world of natural perfume.

  3. You're welcome. Make sure to get Justine's new Coffretts! Limited editions. They sound amazing. My husband bought them for me for VDay. I can't wait to tear into them when they come but I will wait until the VDay.

  5. I will definitely let you know what I think of the collection. Glad that you treated yourself! If you like woodsy scents, check out this lip balm with fir needle and clove. All natural and the scent is the perfect intensity. I love it: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38145208

  6. I have samples of both Desert Rain and Sepia (Nicole is one of my favorite perfume alchemists) ~ and I agree, they're both on the edge of "ew", but there's something about them that keeps you sniffing. She's an amazing woman and I can't wait for her to get back in the game. Thanks for reviewing her stuff.
