Ok firstly - such cute discovery set packaging! Each dabber came in a mini, sealed envelope and tucked in a branded dust bag.
We got a classic, moody rain break during the Seattle summer stretch and thought it would be a perfect day to try Dreams & Nightmares. Off the first sniff I could envision a thunderstorm. I love a petrichor scent but this is the first time I feel like I really got some darker weight to it. The opening smells ever so slightly humid and metallic like a wet chain link fence from a distance.
I sprayed under my clothes and my pulse points. While the pulse points reveal the earth’s fragrant sigh following a stormy, subconscious crescendo and the remaining gusts of wind lapping up against the shivering flora, a storm still brews beneath my turtle neck. Almost like a draft whistling through the cracks of a mossy cottage who’s tenant favors French milled soap. The wind chimes dance in electric anticipation for the ozonic orchestra to begin. You can still smell the top notes popping and bursting in the outlying atmosphere. No need to be afraid - it’s all just a dream. :)
Beautiful work, L’Epoque. Just beautiful.
