Worm Moon: Bourbon Vanilla and Teakwood

Bourbon Vanilla and Teakwood.

This is simple but very nice. The teakwood is dry, almost like sandalwood. Sandalwood is often high-pitched and sharp on me, but this is a mellow wood. It almost smells a bit aquatic somehow, but this is not an aquatic perfume by any means. The vanilla is gorgeous. It's not foody, but it's clean and maybe almost the slightest bit floral.

 

I feel like this one would be very fun to layer because I feel like this duo is a component I'd love in so many things. It's not complex, but it doesn't really need to be because both notes are fabulous.

This one isn't what I expected, but I still like it a lot. Instead of the deep, woody teak note in Antikythera Mechanism and Glowing Vulva, this one seems lighter and "greener." With the non-foody vanilla, the scent as a whole reads as a "green vanilla" to my nose. It's fairly light and unobtrusive.

The vanilla is very sweet and light and that is all I get initially. The teak starts to creep in but like stated above it is not a deep, dark teak note. As it dries the scent is more teak-forward, a light but rich dry wood with a light halo of vanilla. Very pretty!

On me, this is mostly a skin-musky vanilla, the same bourbon vanilla from the original Drag is for Everyone, with a light backdrop of teak. The teak in this is surprisingly tame on me. Everyone keeps saying Glowing Vulva is a your-skin-but-better scent, and it's not on me, as the teak screams at me in that one. This is more of a your-skin-but-better scent to my nose. The vanilla is not very sweet on me, and it is not a floofy, billow-y vanilla.

 

This is not something I need more of, but now I'm wondering how similar the new Bourbon Vanilla hair gloss will be to this.
