Perfumer Sarah McCartney was set on creating the green aroma of a festival field - a small festival, with freshly-cut grass and wildflowers, not a big noisy one with lots of mud. Although dandelions don’t give off an aroma, Dandelion Musk imagines the olfactory result of a field where their bright yellow flowers are growing. Five soft musks - from Ambrettolide at the top to Galaxolide at the base - float around you like dandelion fluff, smoothing out the geranium and super-green violet leaf. The patchouli blend at the heart of this wildflower bouquet is Sarah's homage to festival folk rockers in flares. Imagine lying in a meadow, staring at blue skies and watching the clouds.
NOTES: Violet leaf, neroli, geranium, chamomile, cut grass, rose, sandalwood, patchouli, many musks

My least favorite from this house so far and at the bottom of my frag ratings overall. I'm new to the fragrances but this is a powerful sweet/sour musk cloud that is unfortunately offensive to my nose. I was given 2 samples of this and tested them thoroughly, spraying and sniffing on my skin and am instinctively repelled each time. The idea of a soft, wildflower field scent sounds lovely but this offering just doesn't work for me.

If you like green and spicy, you might love this. But too green for me. Even though it has the 4160tuesdays DNA, that I love. The smell of mown grass seems prominent. I don't know what give the fragrance the sharp spicy feel.
I only have the sample, sent to me by Indiescents. I am not a fan of "Ealing Green", either, because of the green, although it's more benign. I have no intention of getting more of these fragrances, beyond the samples I have.
Sarah McCarthy is not the perfumer. Tessa Williams is the perfumer. "Dancing With Strangers" also by Tessa Williams, is similar, but without the green and spicy, that I don't care for. I don't intend getting more of "Dancing With Strangers", as I have a 50ml.
