Brand: Arcana
Scent Description: Also known as the Underground Pentagon, this secret bunker in Pennsylvania is where U.S. leaders plan to wait out Armageddon. The green leafiness of the Blue Ridge Mountains with cherry blossoms, white tea, and hints of basil, cilantro, and dill weed.
I had an incredibly hard time identifying these notes, since I don’t actually like any of them separately. It was very green and sharp, which I imagine was the dill, with something astringent yet soft. I guess this is the white tea + one of the other herbs. If I sniffed long enough, I got a little bit of what reminds me of baby wipes – That must be my interpretation of the cherry blossoms.
Wet: Oh man, this one changed a TON after resting for a month. When it first arrived it was ALL dill weed/corriander seed–it smelled like the spice aisle at an Indian market. Now it’s much more of an herbal floral, like a bouquet that has dried herbs tucked in it
Dry: much more delicate floral /white tea with hints of basil. it’s a lovely, complex, herbal-floral, and a great scent for the Summer-to-Fall transition.
