Dreaming Tree Soapworks - Once Upon a Dream Mystic Mists (Black Cat)

No better time than Halloween to share my review of the oriental body mist Black Cat.  Black Cat is a creation from an independent cruelty free company – Dreaming Tree Soapworks.  Black Cat is my first purchase from this brand.  I honestly wasn’t certain what to expect as the quality from independents can often be pretty hit or miss.  This fragrance was also offered in other forms (note – the brand creates soaps, candles, oils, and other body care products) but I went with the Mystic Mist as it seemed the safest bet for a first try.

Black Cat opens with a beautifully spiced plumy jasmine.  The spices have a distinctly Fall-like feel to them without becoming gourmand.  The rich, juicy dark plum tempers the jasmine so the fragrance does not become a floral.  A bit into wear an exotic wood enters and envelops the notes like a night fog in the forest.  The spiced plummy jasmine woods wear with a delicate wispiness without becoming powdery.  There is a mysterious feel to the juice throughout the wear making it feel very intimate and sensual without being overbearing.

Black Cat has an extraordinary wear on me for a body mist.  It wears for roughly 6 hours with a moderate to light projection.

Notes:  “Queen of the Night jasmine, dark plums, Persian spices prowling around at midnight in a magical wood.”
