Crow Water + Parfum

Los Angeles based company founded in 2011 offering water based parfums, hand made with love, that is paraben free, phthlate free and cruelty free. Each scent has been inspired and influenced by the poems loved by Emily Lape.


The Collection
~ No. 1 Fruta + Leche
Perfect balance between soft and sweet. Jasmine, Creamy Orange, Vanilla and Soft Musk.
"Surely the flowers of a hundred springs
Are simply the souls of beautiful things" - (L. M. Montgomery).

~ No. 2 La Belle + Dame
Floral, fruity, ultra feminine with a sharp green note. Peony, Rose, Jasmine, Hyacinth and Peach Blossoms.
"I met a lady in the meads, full of beauty - a faery's child, her hair was long, her foot was light and her eyes were wild." - (La Belle Dame Sans Merci by J. Keats).

~ No. 3 Enchanted + Lily
A beautiful floral garden with a clean soap-like back note. Neroli, Jasmine, Lily, and Ozone.
"Life's enchanted cup sparkles near the brim" - (Lord Bryon).

~ No. 4 Paper + Lantern
Delicate Green Tea Leaves, Soothing Aloe and Vibrant Citrus.
"When the world is all at odds
And the mind is all at sea
Then cease the useless tedium
And brew a cup of tea.
There is magic in its fragrance,
There is solace in its taste;
And the laden moments vanish
Somehow into space.
The world becomes a lovely thing!
There’s beauty as you’ll see;
All because you briefly stopped
To brew a cup of tea" - (Anonymous).

~ No. 5 Midnight + Swim
Romantic, unique and a hint of mystery. Salty Sea Air, Wildflowers, Ozone and Woods.
"And my soul stretched
its wings out wide,
flew through the silent lands
as though it were flying home" - (J. F. Von Eichendorff).

~ No. 6 Luna + Azul
Sugar and Spice and everything nice. A spicy vanilla blend with a floral back note. Cinnamon, Bergamot, Velvety Vanilla, Tuberose and Oakmoss.
"It was as though the sky
had silently kissed the earth,
so that it now had to dream of sky
in shimmers of flowers" - (J. F. Von Eichendorff).

After reading the descriptions from the official website and watching the youtube reviews by elisasung and pinkiecharm, I ordered samples in No. 2 La Belle + Dame, No. 4 Paper + Lantern and No. 5 Midnight + Swim. I also received a bonus sample in No. 6 Luna + Azul.

VERDICT: I do like No. 4 Paper + Lantern, (the scent reminds me of an aloe vera face cream) but no enough to convince me to purchase a full sized bottle. If they removed the wildflowers from No. 5 Midnight + Swim, it would be a temptingly unique scent (for some reason, the wildflower note induced a hayfever-like reaction).
