Geisha Green Roll-on Perfume Oil

This one has really grown on me and I now find it quite addictive! It's sweet, juicy aromatic greens- strong anise or absinthe, which smell alike to me. The drydown is slightly ambered with something slightly dusty like oakmoss, maybe patchouli? It reminds me a little of Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin but more vibrant and in technicolor. It does have a bit of a barbershop vibe, so although it's unisex, that association gives it a masculine edge to me. (I tried the oil version only). It's just a lush and happy scent to me.

A nice zesty and aromatic green perfume with a lovely licorice note and a very slightly powdery violet aspect, as well as a slight boozy feel from the 'absinthe' note. Balanced well with the slight sweetness and warmth in the base from the amber and tonka so it doesn't get too sharp and herbal. Perfect for springtime and St. Patrick's day (today)! You do definitely need to like licorice or anise for this though.

Wearing this today - found it in my office drawer, having ordered a sample off Lucky Scents about 5 years ago. It's definitely a "springtime only" scent. It's not really my style, as i'm not really a fan of "green" scents. I am rather enjoying the absinthe vibe, however. The violet is peeking through as well. This definitely has a unisex vibe to it. In fact, on application, it's more masculine to be sure. It's certainly not "full bottle worthy" - or full roller ball, I guess, since it's an oil. A huge rainstorm just came through (with tornado warnings) and now the sun is out, and it feels of spring. And now I - and my entire office as well - have an absinthe-y springtime vibe as well. Definitely only a "meh" for me.

This definitely speaks of green and reminds me of green silk chinoiserie adorned with pink blossoms. It starts of fresh, quite unisex, but there's a prettiness to it dry-down that I find feminine. The fennel-like tang of absinthe is noticable but the fruity elements and tonka combined also make for a warm, slightly powdery effect. It's actually quite intensive (I have it in oil form so it might work differently as a spray) I find it lasts on clothes for days, on skin a good 5 to 6 hours. It's slightly sweet but not sickly-sweet by any means. Most unusual, though pretty, it feels dressy and contemporary, the words that spring to mind are 'arty' and 'coquettish'!

Goes well in the morning. Fresh light and feminem, definetly spring not for other seasons
