Roreads

A beautifully spicy, woody opening. Quickly mellows to a vanilla and patchouli base (nearly identical to the BBW Vanilla + Patchouli candle)

Hard for me to categorize or explain, but I adore it (now). Does it smell like paper or ink? No. Does it make me think of books? Yes.

The photorealistic lilac of my childhood. I had the solid perfume as a teen, and this smells exactly as I remember it.

With more green in the top and heart notes than the original Bloom, it feels similar. Dries to a gentle, musky, powdery floral on my skin.

Dries to a familiarly spicy musk with a ghost of patchouli on my skin, with none of the fruity notes. Enjoyable, but I won't buy full size.

Sugary sweet, with a subtle comforting warmth. An easy summery, sexy scent.

Relatively linear woody scent. The whiffs I get over the course of the day are synthetic in a way I don't enjoy.

Sweet and simple from a distance, irritatingly synthetic up close. Nothing to write home about.

Another that I wanted to love but can't. There is at least one note that stands out as overwhelmingly sharp and bitter on my skin.

Light, sweet, simple orange. Doesn't feel particularly special alone but I could see it being wonderful for layering.
