RavenclawTM Parfum

I’m having a hard time understanding the hate on this one... it’s my favorite of the four. It’s so refreshing, zingy, crisp. I love the earl gray tea feel without it being an overwhelmingly obvious tea scent. It’s perfectly unisex, maybe a touch masculine leaning in the opening, but dries down perfectly neutral and gorgeous. I really bought this as both a perfume enthusiast and a die hard HP fan, so I’m trying to reserve the juice for as long as possible. Otherwise, I would reach for this quite often. I really love it in the heat.

Very refreshing I don't even know how to describe it. It's just really GOOD, I would drink this. A very aquatic MOJITO type of perfume. Draco Malfoy smells like this. (even though he's a Slytherin) Soft mint, the smell of the ocean at night and wood. I love it. A very sensual perfume, very desirable, nothing in your face. Very sexy. Masculine in my opinion. If you have Jimmy Choo Man Aqua, than you will LOVE this one. It's basically his BOUGIE big brother. (a more intense version of Man Aqua) BISOUS

I have the entire Harry Potter collection by HOS. RavenClaw open minty citrus fresh, much like Sedley. Within a few minutes, the cardamom comes through and it’s a vibrant bergamot cardamom scent. Quickly some sweetness emerges making the bergamot feel more like a sugared lemon wheel with cardamom. Cardamom lovers will love this fragrance, but beware this is not your cliché dark, rich cardamom bomb. This is lighter and sweeter for people that enjoy the likes of BDK Gris Charnal EDP type of cardamom.

Earthy, woody and minty with a hint of citrus. Very grounding, reminds me of wet soil, herbs and tea. The Ravenclaw common room is in the tallest tower so I anticipated maybe something more airy instead of grounded. But I could see a Ravenclaw student wearing this. A smart fresh scent. I feel like HoS based the fragrance for Slytherin and Gryffindor off of their respective common rooms (S is masculine, moody & G is cozy fireplace, sweet). But then based the fragrance for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff off of their house traits. H's common room is essentially a woody burrow and with plants all around, yet they are known for being kind and sweet. And their fragrance is a SWEET gourmand. The Ravenclaw scent is fresh, and yet there is still something rich and earthy about this scent. I like the dry down the most, as the citrus and freshness shine through more, like you just showered. Dry down is refreshing. It is gender neutral IMO. If you are looking for something more masculine, Slytherin would be a great cologne oh my goodness such a sexy scent. I own Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, maybeeeee I'll pick up Ravenclaw one day, but I'll pass on Slytherin. Update: purchased a full bottle, and scent is as I remember.

I absolutely love this scent (bit of mint, bit of aquatics, bit of wood). It’s delicious and fresh and a great unisex summer wear. But the performance is abysmal! I’ve oversprayed skin, clothes, hair - you name it. No one can smell it on me in less than a half hour, and even with my nose mashed to my own skin, it’s a challenge after a full hour I usually don’t mind weak sillage, but longevity is a must for me. I adore Ravenclaw. I don’t regret buying it on sale. But I fear I’m going to fly through my bottle. Edit: It reminds me very slightly of Lolita Lempicka’s Green Lover, but much less sweet. I get better longevity with that one, so maybe I’ll experiment with layering.
