Fieldnotes ~ Dark and Stormy by Kenneth Cory
07/23/2015
I'm wearing something right now that I just broke out of my yummy FRAGments swag bag; a really intriguing creation made by a perfumer out of San Francisco named Kenneth Cory. It's a curious and enjoyable perfume called Dark and Stormy and I must say that it really suits me. I'm loving the lovely sea swept , spicy and tumbled driftwood feeling of it.
It starts out with a lively fruity garnish of Mexican Lime Peel and Red bitter orange, but fairly quickly the spiciness (cinnamon and clove) begins to emerge. As this perfume begins to warm up on my skin the oakmoss, cognac and tonka keep coming out to play and it's absolutely enchanting. It's a fairly steamy day here in Cleveland and the scent is not only holding its own with the heat, but it's blossoming into something really sexy, due to its naughty little heart of ginger lily and ylang ylang . I envision wearing it with a sarong , a tank top, some sandalwood and stone beads, feathers, dangling earrings and not much else.
I find myself curiously emboldened with a desire to do nothing but swing around in my hammock all day with a pitcher of Bermuda Yacht Club cocktails , some Diana Gabaldon and a naughty British pirate. Dark and Stormy really smells quite good on me, but I'm about to go try some on my husband whose yummy maleness will bring out the deep labdanum, balsam and myrhh notes. That along with an eye patch, a macaw and an ipod full of Great Big Sea. Oh my...it's definitely got the makings of a very fine day...
