femmensteinSilken Tent (Candied angelica, chrysanthemum, tuberose, clove flowers, jasmine-scented rice pudding, blonde caramel, golden amber)
Preliminary notes: This review is for the ultime version. My bottle is just shy of 3 years old.
In bottle: I mean this in the best way possible: this smells incredibly mainstream. If you're used to mainstream scents and want to get into indies, Silken Tent is a great gateway scent for that. I get something spicy, the caramel and rice pudding, and some nondescript floral notes.
On skin: Honestly, it's really difficult to tease apart the notes for this one. It's definitely a flormand, and it has the tiniest bit of a spicy edge. It's sweet and creamy without being cloying. I mentally refer to this as one of my fancy perfumes, because it is very elegant and put together. I do get more of the rice pudding now than I did when I purchased it, which is interesting. It's leaned more gourmand as its aged.
Verdict: 4.75 fancy rice puddings out of 5.
