"A scent inspired by the idea of a wild outdoor spirit taking a nap under a shady fruit-laden bush on a hot summer day. Notes of black currant, ripe fruit, and green fig leaves combine with an amber base to create a dreamy oriental- gourmand fragrance."
When I first put it on, I got "GREEN!" It reminded me of a grassy field with some kind of flowers mixed in-- not mint or cat urine as a couple others had indicated. Not being a big fan of green, my first thought was that this one was a "pass" for me. After about an hour, however, it morphed into the most interesting fresh fig scent. I went from thinking "no way" to "mmmm.... that's kinda nice." I'm still not sure if its a perfume I'd wear, but I would LOVE to have this scent in a candle.
I think the initial green note was for me unexpected but everything soon dries down into what can only be described as ripe, sweet and juicy. The depth of the ripe black current and slight coolness of the mint is beautiful and then the amber and fig meld it all together making a rich almost jam like rounded fragrance. Very nice and would like to own a bottle.
Quick up date I have now bought a bottle and love it! For anyone that likes sweet viscus type fruity perfumes this one will be a winner. I has the most amazing silage and longevity. Great buy yay!!
Minty, pine green smell. Remindes me on musty pine wood. Just unpleasant.
Scrubbed it off.
I must concur with Scorpiosheep on this one. This is heavy on the mint and overwhelmingly green. Given the notes and structure, not at all what I was expecting. This is somewhat similar to Andy Tauers Pentachord Verdant to my nose.
I was quite taken aback when I first applied this as it smelled like a combination of mint and cat pee. However it soon settled down into a very blackcurrant-y, figgy smell, but still with a urinous hint trying to break through underneath. I am looking forward to trying the rest in the box - unfortunately this was the first one I tried and it is definitely not to my liking.
First of all , i want to thank Ellen Covey for her talent and perspective. I've obtained after some misadventures the deluxe sampler package, and i'm still speechless. Out of her 17 scents i'm in love with 14. I'm also surprised by the sheer diversity, the creativity, the lasting power and the sillage. All and all Elen Covey is the new hero of American perfumery.
As for Midsummer Day's Dream it's a ambery tart fig more fruit than tree in my opinion, with a hidden animalic note for all the warmth of the creatures of the nature. A wholesome happy poem.
I smell a lot of juicy cassis, the real thing! There is also some figgy sweetness. The green notes and the amber are there in the background but the fruits are the stars here. This is warm enough to be worn all year around!
Beautiful! Juicy in the best way.
A deliciously fruity amber with just a touch of green. I find Midsummer Day's Dream to be as relaxing as the name implies, but in no way lethargic. A comfortable scent with an edge of fig. I wear it anytime I feel the need to "mellow out".
