So she uses a lot of references from growing up as the inspiration points for the scent. So something she's mentioned are greenhouses and so flowers and grass and green scents. So there's this lovely vetiver in the base that gives it this kind of earthy grassiness. Then there's these beautiful soft floral notes. There's a touch of Rose de Mai, which is very subtle, not really a rose perfume, but it's in there. And then there's this Immortelle note, which has that kind of slightly maple syrupy scent. It's a little bit sweet. And it combines beautifully with the ginger note, which I love, which is part of the reason I love this scent so much. This ginger note adds this kind of spicy bite that's just perfect to me. And you don't smell ginger that often, at least in my opinion in a lot of perfumes. So the ginger and then there's a touch of pumpkin, which I thought was so unique. I can't think of another perfume that has pumpkin in it. So this is like this perfect kind of reference to her being so unusual and unique, you know, adding this unusual note in here. And the pumpkin isn't like full on pumpkin pie or anything super sweet or gourmand, but it does add this kind of gourmand touch or through line with the spice notes, with the ginger, with the Immortelle, that's a little syrupy, you know, all of that. But that's tempered with these beautiful and soft floral clean notes actually. And there's this incredible white musk, so again, clean, so there's this like clean white musk base that really shows up in the dry down. So when all the kind of spicy sweet florally notes sort of soften, you get this really lovely kind of musky skin scent. I love wearing it. I feel really unique when I wear it, so no surprise because that's really what this is. It doesn't smell like anything else in my opinion. It's perfect for the fall. I love wearing it around the fall, like October, you know, November of course. It feels cozy and warm, but I actually, I think it works great in spring and summer as well because it has this kind of floral freshness, so it never gets too heavy or too cloying or too deserty or any of that stuff. She also based the title of it like this on a couple different things. So it was a reference, I believe, to Alice in Wonderland, and then the part that I love is a Rumi poem, which I wish I had it committed to memory, but you can look it up. And it's this beautiful poem, and basically the last line is like this. And if you know Rumi, then you can also appreciate this scent as well. It's really unique, really beautiful. I would say pretty strong, a good couple spritzes last majority of the day. Totally unisex, maybe because she's a woman, maybe it leans a little feminine, although I can certainly smell this on a guy and think it would smell great. And like I said, pretty much all season too. Beautiful scent, really cool actress inspiration and poem and everything else, and all the notes are so special. So I really highly recommend checking out like this if you haven't before. It is a winner. It's just really, really beautiful. I taught leaps like this.
