When I first got a sample of this about a year ago, I immediately hated it. It felt cheap, like Love’s Baby Soft or old lady perfume from drug stores. I just kind of expected the sample was just going to hang out in my room forever, never getting used. But I randomly decided to put it on today, and what a shame that I discovered how pretty it is so late. It’s not just some knockoff of cheap perfume for ’70s era teenagers: there is a really picturesque, transformative quality to it. It does smell like going into an old house and thinking about who used to live there, and what a special and unique smell that is. Lipstick becomes smoke becomes dust. It’s so evocative. Too bad I waited until it went out of production to figure that out.

just a random update: this smells so perfect. I couldn’t ask for it to be better in any way.
After 1 year I finally got a sample. Being my favorite book growing up I have been looking forward to it. It wasn’t as violet as I expected in the pure violet manner, not metallic like I was expecting. It’s more soft-less sharp, but indeed sad. More soapy than metallic, which I would rather not have in a violet.
So upon second wearing, I am getting much more powder (less soapy) than the previous day, when I wore a little less. Its really emotional and a grand violet, powder lipstick perfume. It just doesn’t feel like the description Buxton offers.
The more I wear this the more I really do feel connected to the book. I have to say, I am impressed. However, that is probably some psychological dissonance as I love the book so much.
