    The Sandman

    Day Shift

    The Comeback, Lily Chu

    Black Hearted Tart (mentioned: Powder: Tranquility (White tea with light touches of lemongrass and ginger root tamp down the sweetness of this peach forward, spa inspired scent. Lotus flowers and bamboo stalks create a green floral aromatic and aquatic undertones. )

    Skin oil: Dance on the Moon (Creamy magnolia flowers with a spritz of lemon, and a sprinkle of jasmine petals. Notes of shea and cocoa butter blended with coconut cream and pistachio milk. Cashmere, sandalwood, cedar, and tonka bean create a soft, comforting base.)

    Hips Like Cinderella -Swishes of chiffon are illustrated with freesia, gardenia, and mimosa flowers. An ambrosia of mandarin, apricot, and orange zest add a delectable juiciness. Fresh cut grass, clover, and wisteria evoke a springtime feel. Golden amber and soft sandalwood create the base.


    Poesie Perfumes

    A la Reine: fresh ripe tomato, cucumber, a bouquet of garden herbs, sweet soil, all damp from the summer rain

    Aphrodite: intoxicating gardenia + jasmine, sparkling champagne, pink peppercorn, lush greenery, amber, velvet musk
