my beautiful citrus princess!
I love this lady. She's so bright, and from experience I've learned that citrus sits on my skin quite well (I come from a citrus-loving family so I believe it's hereditary?). It felt like this bottle was sitting on my shoulder all day, and I got so many compliments :~) And this is my first brush with Marissa Zappas, too!

nostalgia blossom
An earnest, angelic, sunshine-yellow floral. Both pollen-y and nectary. The heart of The Sun Card is breathy, powdery, and so aggressively innocent you could never get angry at it. The star of the show – the plumeria/frangipani – smells true to life and adds a tropical-toned, creamy sweetness. If you are a member of the ylang-ylang gang, I expect this’ll be a hit. Zappas does a mean hay, but I can’t detect it here. Plays like the G-rated version of Universal Flowering’s Heliotrope Milkbath.

Mental Snapshot: A memory box, sun-faded and tender with memories. A handknit baby blanket, dried blooms from a holiday abroad, scented stationery from grade school crushes. You lay in your childhood bed, basking in the afternoon sunshine, drifting back in time.

tl;dr: precious petals

A Retirement Community by the Shore
Sunblock on your skin after a fresh shower, body lotion unscented, and a floral hand soap. Very vintage and ‘fancy soap’ scent to me. Feels like a warm summer day in an old beach home owned by your grandma and her 5 cats. I could see me wearing this when i’m visiting my grandmas home, or out at a fancy restaurant at the beach. Not really the scent profile for me, but I can appreciate what it does. After drying for a few, it has a cool note that feels like a night time summer breeze. Overall this is what i imagine a cold, older beach town to smell like in the winter when tourists are long gone. Dry down is much sweeter.

After reading notes: The frangipani is quite strong, giving off a slight coconut note. The heliotrope leans into the floral warm scent

Cheerful, sweet and delicate. Prominent heliotrope and a subtle orange in the opening that isn't very tart like the usual citrus.

Playing outside in the dress I wore to church; bringing my mother a handful of purple flowers and smelling her fancy lotion as she hugs me.

It's such a lovely sweet, floral, familiar scent. Comfort in a bottle. I do become nose blind to it quite quickly though

My farmer grandparent's house. Clean hay and dust motes in the afternoon sun. The yellow center of a frangipani blossom.

This is so beautiful! A perfect spring scent that reminds me of a floral marmalade. I'm not big on florals but I love this.

Light fresh scent of yellow flowers. Fine for spring but a bit boring.
