I like to believe this was for my birthday. It wasn't, but I like to believe it, especially because it's got cardamom and baked goods together, which is my favorite. I really enjoy this one!

I have to admit, this one was absolutely bewildering on my skin! I think I amped something cinnamon and it overwhelmed anything else - I keep sniffing it to see if there’s another layer, but my nose doesn’t recognize anything else. Curious to see if this will settle down with some rest!

Matcha Latte Cream Pie

This has very strong matcha on my skin, and I love it! It’s got that green grassiness, with a little bit of creaminess blending with it. It manages to somehow be refreshing and comforting at the same time. I can’t stop sniffing my wrists. And I don’t want to. 😁 -
This is definitely a very soft scent, with the most gentle of lavender. It does go a little powdery on my skin, but that’s OK, because it works so well with a lavender that it just feels like the coziest moments of childhood. I’m excited to use it as a sleep scent tonight, and I imagine I will have very sweet dreams.

Oh my gosh, this is everything to me. I get the hazelnuts first, just beautifully toasted, and then the butterscotch rum softens and sweetens it. The winter oak feels like a witness to the dance of the other two scents, grounding it, but on my skin it's very gourmand and truly lovely.

I got this when I was just starting to get a cold, which forced me to wait a couple of days to really give it a sniff- and it was completely worth it! I definitely get the oatmeal and the vanilla upfront on my skin, and then I get the sandalwood and a little bit of tea, along with it smells a little fresh to my nose? This feels like a oversized sweater and cozy tea in your hands while you’re sitting on a window seat looking out at the rain. I absolutely love it and I’m so glad that I got a bottle!

Oh my gosh, the peaches are juicy and fresh, sun-warmed and sweet with a bit of tart, and the milk is creamy and rich. This is glorious.

This one lingers close to the skin for me, but it is such a delicious nutty, warm, honey-swirled delight, that I can’t stop huffing it! I definitely get nuts upfront, and the honey seems to amp on my skin, so I think it’s a little stronger on me than it might be for others. Perfect for the transition from summer to fall! The throw does mean I will probably need to slather but I’m so glad to have gotten this in a bottle so that I can if I want!

So I’m not the most advanced with my sniffer, but I really like this! There’s definitely apple, though it’s kind of more of a candied apple in my opinion, but there’s also some kind of spiciness to it that I can’t quite place. I like that it has a little spiciness, but it’s also not cinnamon, so that my skin reacts! I think it might be that extra Blood - I can definitely get cherry, and I could see the spice being myrrh and clove. I feel like it’s a perfect late summer to early fall transition scent. Really yummy!

I agree with wodnesse above - on my skin there was a floral grass that really came through, not just pure grass, but freshly mown dandelions amongst the grass. I wish the sweetgrass came a little bit stronger? But this is such a delightful summer scent that I don’t really mind.

Portrait of Princess Marthe Bibesco

On the skin I initially got toffee but then I got some beautiful rose right after, like a one-two gourmand floral punch. I love this so much! It's like a rose scented tea while eating a toffee cookie. Delicious. -
This is so delicious to me, it’s definitely lavender and bread upfront, a nice crusty bread, but as it dries down, I get a little bit of creaminess that’s hard to define, butter, and I get a little bit of lemon that brightens the whole thing up. This is like my dream sleep scent.

This is a chocolate that bites back for sure, bittersweet and dark. The spices here are incredibly loud, but I don’t dislike them - they also smell tantalizing like a witch’s spice cabinet, they smell like spices that are actively being used in remedies and tinctures. There was another 13 I remember that smelled very much like dry spices, like a spice market almost - these ones smell lived in, is the best way I can describe it. I also am really sensitive to cinnamon, and it is nice to have a spicy scent that does not make my skin upset. I will be curious to try layering this with something a little bit more foodie.

I immediately got “barnyard” on my skin, which I honestly have never gotten from oud before! As it dries down, I get more of the leather, and a bit of the amber. I’ll be curious to put this away for a bit and then sniff it again once it’s settled, since my decant just came today! It’s not… Bad? I’m just not sure I need more of it.

As someone who has made saffron, flavored Swedish breads, this is such a joy and a delight for me! My only wishes that the scent would linger a little bit longer, because it does tend to get soaked up by my skin very quickly. It definitely smells like a sweet bread, to me, and the lavender adds a really pleasant extra layer.
