Jenjin Report post Posted February 27 Gurjum balsam, lemon peel, ginger root, and clove. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doomsday_disco Report post Posted April 25 Note: I'm not sure what gurjum balsam smells like, but I can say that I don't get any of the Christmas-y balsam from this. I grabbed a decant of this because I thought it would be a good scent for when you're ill (kind of like Only a Sip), and the lemon and ginger combo definitely does make me think of drinking hot tea with fresh ginger and lemon slices in it when I have a cold or sore throat. The clove cozies up to those notes also adds to those tea-when-you're-under-the-weather vibes. Although I am not familiar with the balsam note, I do think it might be what's lingering in the background after a few hours, adding a gentle woodiness to the scent. I like this enough to keep my decant around to wear when I'm not feeling great... but I haven't yet decided if I need more of this before the Shungas go away.

nikaida Report post Posted April 29 Oh! This is fun! I only have time for a quick “first impressions” review tonight, only 30ish minutes of wear went into this quickie review. Please, future me, come back and say more! Opens with a zingy ginger and a slightly …lemongrassy…? lemon? I can smell that clovey warm heart right away! This smells like something your yoga teacher friend who’s really into using essential oils would give you as a cheeky bachelorette party gift with a note about how you should wear it to help heat things up on your honeymoon. Invigorating and a little naughty. I am liking this one a lot more than I thought I would! I think it’ll dry down beautifully, but this might be a fun not-so-sleepy bedtime scent too 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
