Going by feeling and not exactly theme, I’ll toss in that Ophidia Rosa has always felt dark to me, like deep forest. Every time I’ve thought about buying it I haven’t felt ready for that. I’ll be back to add a few more I’ve seen around once I have the chance <3 (Also thank you all for mentioning so...
