Today from the Priority Mail Box of Squee: Gladdener of All Hearts

After the resounding success of yesterday's Lilith Victoria, I avidly look forward to the other two! Here's the second of the forum-only Lilith fragrances, described as:

Honeyed milk, baby powder, lavender, orris root, sage, carnation, angelica, frankincense, and rose otto.

In the bottle: Orris root, carnation, breast milk and baby powder. I immediately think of my daughters as babies; this is essence of babysmell, the good kind. If I were still nursing I'd be in pain and looking for a baby about now, it's that evocative. All you moms out there, you know what I'm talking about.

Wet: Lavender and orris root, top note of carnation. As it dries, the milk comes out. This is fairly faithful to the bottle so far. It smells like a particular brand of non-talc baby powder I used when the girls were tiny. Beth, you're making me cry, seriously, just because it reminds me of my precious babies. Smiling

Dry: This is not a morpher on me. It remains constant, a soft, sweet babysmell, and I absolutely adore it.

Sir agreed--smells like No1 and No2 when they were brand-new--but requests that I not wear it to bed. Laughing out loud So two wins, no fails thus far.

Did you like this? Send me a dollar! Every little bit helps!

Aw...!

That sounds so sweet! I don't think I'd personally want to smell like it, (at least maybe not until I have my own babies to feel nostalgic for?) but it just sounds so innocent and lovely... I love your descriptions so much!

Dangit, after reading this post, I had to go hunt down a bottle on the sales forum. It sounds just amazing. In a few years, my beloved girl wants to have kids, but due to medical issues on her part we're hoping I'll be able to nurse them, since we're both in favor of BF. So to me, your description is sweet as well as hopeful (rather than nostalgic). My bottle was shipped out today, though, so I'm hoping I love it as much as you do. Smiling

If I'd known you wanted it, I would've sold you mine. I DO love it, but it is not how I want to smell at this point in my life. I am done with babies, until my grandchildren. And both my girls say they're not interested in being mothers. (I must be doing a terrific job, but then, they're young.)

I should put up a list of what I've got for sale/swap here.
