Monday morning...
...sleepy, had some weird dream that was totally stressful and completely forgot the alarm. A glance out the window: rain and thick cloud cover. A look in the fridge: yawning emptiness. Just woke up and my mood has already hit rock bottom. Grrrrrr! What a start to the week!
Now I need to get ready quickly, gulp down some oatmeal, and it can't start without a fragrance.
Of course, I could quickly reach for my go-to scents, but today I want something different. So I grab "Stoned" from the box with the samples. I had already tested and approved the scent, mentally filed it under "Winter." No matter, today is gray and dull, I need something cozy.
And Stoned was a good choice! The bergamot at the beginning quickly sinks into a fluffy, soft vanilla powder sea. And I breathe a sigh of relief, or rather take a deep breath, and a small smile creeps onto my face.
The scent accompanies me throughout the day, which isn't that great, but my really bad mood from the morning is fading. And I dare say, not least thanks to this fragrance that wraps me in comfort with its vanilla warmth. I also suspected benzoin here, but it's not listed in the notes. So it must be the labdanum and moss that soothe me. It's also good that while the scent is warm and vanilla, it never becomes too sweet for me, lacking that sticky-sweet quality.
This Monday is -almost- over, my mood is better again, and I mentally note "Monday morning savior" next to Stoned.
The scent is very long-lasting, so with the small sample, I should be good for a while, but I'm already adding it to my must-have or wish list. I can't run out of this!
EDIT: On the website of Quartier 206, which represents the fragrance here in Germany, benzoin, patchouli, and heliotrope are also listed in the notes. I also think I can smell benzoin.
