Dark Skies

This is gorgeous. Very strong thick and deep feeling tuberose with vanilla to round it out. It also does have an aromatic quality about it too, which makes it more interesting to me. I suppose that's coming from the sage. This is well-balanced but also kind of a beastly tuberose, and that makes it suitable to wear in any season imo... This is NOT bubble-gum tuberose, but a chewy floral -- I know that sounds similar, but there is a distinct difference. This has depth without having a noticeablely woody base or spices and I really appreciate that. Smells like real perfumery too, like 1,000 tuberose flower buds were pressed to make a single drop of oil type of stuff. This is truly beautiful and underrated on this page. I love that it has a good dose of vanilla in it too, that makes florals more wearable to me. If you enjoy tuberose at all, get to know this perfume - it really is special amongst the sea of tuberose perfumes.

dark skies is unique. the greenness on initial spray isn't my favorite but the dry down is definitely worth it. as the day went on, i started to look around me to figure out what smelled so sweet. turns out, it was me :O i could smell it on my arm, even after a shower. i might have to start looking for more agave fragrances!

I love this. It was a free sample with my order. I'm getting a ton of vanilla. I can never have too much vanilla. This, to my nose, is very similar to Venus In Fleurs...I thought I'd like VIF more bc of the mango but I actually like this one more and it's because of the vanilla. Need a full bottle!!

Arliss is correct in how the initial spray can overwhelm you. In about 15 minutes the fragrance settles down and begins to become more blended. I found the scent to be more green than aquatic. It was a unique scent that only reminded me of Tokyo Milk Arsenic. There is a sweet component that makes the scent intriguing as it doesn’t become cloying but adds depth. I got 10-12 hours from this with 3 sprays. I give credit to Arliss for convincing me to make this purchase. It is one of the best green/herbal fragrances I own now.

A well-blended fragrance, but not for me—at least not in winter. It’s very green. I’ll have to give it another shot when the weather is warmer
