He Forgot To Be Frightened Any More

“Piglet,” said Rabbit, taking out a pencil, and licking the end of it, “you haven’t any pluck.”

 

“It is hard to be brave,” said Piglet, sniffing slightly, “when you’re only a Very Small Animal.”

 

Rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said:

 

“It is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us.”

 

Piglet was so excited at the idea of being Useful, that he forgot to be frightened any more…

 

Pink clover and wild strawberries, red bean paste, pink vanilla, sweet acorns, apple blossom, caramelized almond, and a shy puff of sugar.

Pink pink pink! This smell radiates the color pink, when I smell it I can see pink beneath my closed eyelids. It’s sweet without being overpowering or powdery it does kind of give off a bubbly effervescent effect like the champagne scent note in other perfumes. It’s a very young, youthful, bright smell. I think strawberry is the most prominent note but honestly it’s so pink and there’s so many notes that start with pink that it could be any of the things that start with pink.

Well, that's pink.

 

In the bottle, it smells... pink. A wash of pink. I smell the vanilla and caramelized almonds, a bit of the apple.

 

When first applied to the skin, the red bean paste takes the stage. This adds a lot of grit to it! I feel like this really represents Piglet's sense of yearning to be brave. Along with the acorn and almond, you really get a sense of strength and depth beneath the airy pink vanilla, apple, strawberry-ness of it all.

 

A very earnest and sweet fragrance. Encouraging! Comforting! When I first put it on, I got a little teary eyed and thought "Come on Piglet, you can do it!"

I may have won the skin chemistry lottery with Edward Bear, but my skin chemistry is ruining Piglet's scent, which was one of the Hundred Acre Wood scents to which I was most looking forward.

 

The red bean paste (Beth's red bean paste note is so good!), apple blossom, and caramelized almond notes are the most prominent notes on me, with that caramelized almond note being almond toffee-like, like almond brittle, so it is very warm on me with that note and the red bean paste, and then the apple blossom drifts through, which helps to lift the scent. But then it does something that some scents do on me, even when there's no similar notes, and I don't know what it is causing it -- but it starts smelling soup-y on me, like... it ends up being somewhat tomato soup-esque? This is something I have had happen to me with some scents even before COVID, so it's not my sniffer being broken -- it's truly my skin chemistry, as it's not like that at all in the bottle or during the wet phase of the scent.

 

I asked for and was gifted the entire Hundred Acre Wood perfume oil set for Christmas, so I won't be parting ways with my bottle, even if my skin chemistry is being rude to me. Time to go the scent locket route to enjoy that lovely red bean paste note!

Very strong in the red bean paste!!! That's really the dominant note for me. The other elements add sweetness and they truly conjure the color pink. The apple blossom adds a clean shampoo-like touch and the caramelized almond adds a bit of decadence.
