Bewitching Brew Review: Circe (discontinued)
Surround yourself with an aura of lethal allure. An incomparably enticing
blend of intoxicating aquatic scents and florals.
Acquired: imp from voleuse @ lj
In the Bottle: Very strong. Super-sweet and floral. Faintly menthol/medicinal my brain is saying.
Wet: Sort of similar to the bottle - strong and sweet with a menthol/eucalyptus feel.
Drying: The sharp smell fades away quickly (and this is rather different than when I tried it on three days ago). It becomes a softer floral - almost gardenia or maybe jasmine.
Dry: Definitely gardenia and a hint of something jasmine-y. Again, different than the first time I tried the oil when it was completely off-putting.
Fade: Rather slow fade. Very strong on first application to a softer floral in about 20 minutes. Fades completely away in about 3 hours.
Verdict: I'm still not sure I like it on second try, but it was much better than the first go. There is still something sickly sweet about it that I'm not really keen on. It's unlikely that I will keep it.
