childhood nostalgia
This fragrance is supposed to represent growth and childhood. It is delightfully odd with a mix of green (tomato leaf, petitgrain, bell pepper, vetiver), sweet/citrusy (lemon peel, raspberry, licorice), along with cedar, musk, and lavender. I probably would not wear this, but I really enjoy smelling it. It’s sweet, green, plasticky, and grassy. The smell of sticky melted raspberry ice pops mixed with grass stains and fresh bandaid. Childhood nostalgia bottled. This strange combination comes with a poem that is so on the nose with how it makes me feel that I had to copy it here:
"Climb trees brain freeze paint brush sugar rush throw ball free fall hide bed build shed grass stains airplanes flat tire start fire fall out sing loud bruises scratches band-aid patches giving steals training wheels orange peels automobiles running falling landing calling acting dying dancing crying drowning flying breathing shouting laughing
Crowns bloom raised skyward
Songbirds whistle above
Innocent eyes observe
every microscopic flutter"
