Willow

I was going to review Willow earlier, but the weather was much warmer and it turned into a vanilla monster on my skin. I decided to give it another chance, this time with the temperature twenty degrees cooler. Much better! Willow opens with dry notes of ozone and fresh citrus. The green notes and the frosted berries linger a bit, then the scent turns sweet with tuberose and orchid. These aren't brassy 80's florals, but very subtle blossoms. Not long after comes the vanilla, and vanilla and woods are the stars of the show. In this cooler weather this dry vanilla whispers; in 80F weather it's so heady it made me feel faint. I prefer my fragrances to have a softer touch, not like an overzealous lover who won't let you come up for air! This dry and sensuous fragrance is one I associate with stoic but sensual Capricorn, though it reminds me of levelheaded yet earthy Virgo as well. I'm so glad I tested it again.
