Sun Card The Garden Collection - The Sun Card Marissa Zappas 2021
1
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
