Brand: Darling Clandestine
Scent Description: Inspired, of course, by Tom Waits, this one will make you die a little more each Saint Valentine’s Day. A moody bouquet of hyacinth and poppies and figs, washed down with whiskey and bitters and delicate musks and mint. Very potent and heady, this is hands-down the fragrance I get the most compliments on from bystanders. “OOH DANG WHAT ARE YOU WEARING YOU SMELL SOOOOO GOOD.” I bring this fragrance back . . . well, you know when.
from my past IMAM review; smells like….The area in a high end department store just between the designer bridal section and the women’s powder room, where they’re trying to seamlessly blend a pristinely kept sales-floor filled with expensive dresses and a bathroom decorated with faux classical paintings that contains one-ply toilet paper.
Strong florals with something vaguely like whiskey and musk. It’s very very bitter. But at the same time it reminds me of some kind of candy, that I can’t quite put a finger on. It’s moody alright.
