It's like a cool breeze on a summer night, only better. It's so calming and helps to clear my mind, while also smelling wonderfully unique and sweet. I've really come to appreciate the cool, airy, sweet lavender. Sleepy Moon has become my favorite lunar blend, and one of my favorite LEs of all time. I could also see this being a very calming scent, maybe a good one to wear when I have presentations or am feeling anxious about something. It doesn’t make me feel sleepy, but this would be a great casual fragrance… one that I would wear just to make myself happy. It’s unlike any other fragrance that I’ve tried, and I wasn’t expecting to like this one, but I do. Overall, Sleepy Moon is light, sweet, cool, and clean on me. After about an hour, the soapiness has faded away entirely and there is more of an herbal chamomile and cool floral scent behind the sweet lavender. It dries down to a very sweet, pleasant lavender, but definitely more complex than just plain lavender. This also has a very chilly sweetness to it that I'm loving. It is sort of soapy, in the way that it reminds me of laundry soap at first, but it isn’t badly soapy or off-putting. On me, this is a really captivating fragrance. In the bottle, this smells like the most wonderful, clean lavender scent. I think I may have to note whatever flavors are in this one and search for other lovelys. I have to re-apply towards the middle of the day, but that's fine with me. I'm also very pleased that this is stronger on my skin than most and gives a decent throw. Nice crisp moonlit air with a warm stone or two, heated by the sun, and cooling by night. Some of the buds are coming out, there are a few flowers blooming, but it's mostly green all around. It's like sleeping under a full moon in a dew covered forest with a chill in the air. It's comforting and mellow, but it's not heavy. It's bright and clean on the outset and warm on the inset. I just know that this smells really nice. I can't tell you what the heck the notes are, or what comes out first, second and last. I loved the artwork and the description sounded really good, so I broke my "I will not collect Lunacy" rule, and bought one. Overall, the scent was long-lasting, and is a very nice and calming green, herb-y, outdoorsy oil. I still feel very strong connections to the Apothecary, which also didn't work on my chemistry. But it ended up going kind of chalky green herbiness on me. I was hoping it would end up a more chamomile smell the perfect scent for falling asleep to. Hours later: This scent totally did not take a liking to me. Another sort of heady scent lingers too, and I get a wiff occasionally of the initial soap smell. Oddly amusing!ĭry: This really really turned to a pine scent on my skin. The scent is somehow both very green and purple at once. On the skin: It smells like a lovely floralish soap! Not quite the "soapy" white soap smell that some scents tend to fade to, but more like a soap made with dried purple wildflowers. This definitely reminds me a bit of the Apothecary. There also seems to be a hint of sweetness in the background. In the bottle: Sleepy Moon smells a bit like Rosemary to me. A nearly-narcotic blend of opiate-touched bark and blossom reflective of the bleakness and solitude of winter, the quietest point of the year : black opium poppy, bamboo pulp, ylang ylang, lavender, chamomile and white sandalwood.
