vixen of pie

I was curious how this scent would unfold on my skin and dabbed on the soft yellowy oil. It started off as a sweet, orange and lemony candy scent when I applied it on my skin. Not a true realistic fruitiness, but more of a desserty candylike one like sherbet with something of a fizziness. The red musk began to work its magic, so the blend wasn't pure dizzying sweetness. Eventually over an hour and a half after applying the fizzy tarty fruit scents left center stage as all topnotes do, and they lingered in the background with the red musk doing her thing. The result up til now just keeps telling me this is smarties candy. It's very light, fuzzy and vaguely sweet powdery tarts. The fizz is gone and I don't think this scent will last on me til the end of my work shift. It was a fun experience though.

I bought this because of the glowing reviews. In the bottle, this smelled like pure candy corn. When I applied it, it was a blast of candy corn sweetness, not cloying, just tasty and full creamy vanilla. As it began to dry, this little ghost gave me a scare: the vanilla mellowed, but underneath a slight smoky smell began to emerge, kind of recalling a lamp that's starting to overheat and on the verge of burning out. I had no reason to worry, though. The smoky smell never became overbearing, and the vanilla and amber began to take center stage again with the smoky warmth faintly in the background. This scent is extremely photorealistically true to its name. This is probably my favorite vanilla scent and I'm glad I got a bottle. It's not crazily sweet, but sophisticated and glowy.

I'm new to the world of perfume reviews, so here's my take on this scent I had the joy of getting in my Luper haul because of its amusing title. I got this in the hopes someone would ask me what perfume I'm wearing just to tell them the name. 😏 ITB: This smells very mossy and green, kind of like tea and fresh leaves. There is also a slight muskiness I detect maybe from the oud. WET: The green, chypre scent is strongest! This smells so fresh like I am rolling on a mossy forest floor. But it's clean with no dirty earthiness. Very green scent with a bit of tanginess. As it's drying, I think I can start to detect some clean leather. Like I am cosplaying as a leather clad elf in the forest! Dry: Okay, this has developed so beautifully. It's turned from a green to what I think is like a red scent. It's warm, and there is now the incense coming through, and a hint of spice peeking through the moss. It's not a strong scent, and not overpowering as I was worried this would be with the listed notes. This is a lovely unisex scent, and smells foresty and clean.
