Bright and zesty summer memories by the sea, fish and chips in paper, salt drying on your skin. Another swim then a nap. And then we go again.

I keep thinking about this. It’s something in that soft and melancholic carnation that keeps me coming back. Elegant, has structure, has a story.

Gothic dark smoky rose. Opens like a love letter and ends into a gritty goodbye one that you throw in the fire.

Two words: Orthodox Church. The beginning is me as a child in the pews. The middle and ending are weirdly fresh and lovely.

Spicy and dirty rose. Not your usual floral. Incredible dry down and engulfing story. I never liked linear rose and this perfume gets me.

Oh that strong bitter gritty rhubarb in the opening! What a joy. I knew it wouldn’t last but when it does go it makes me sad to see it go

Smoky moody and boozy, like a spills glass of martini over a fireplace. Another scent that on paper is amazing but sadly not on me.

Intriguing freshly cut grass opening but it lands very generic after. Leathery and cream, on paper hits all notes but not for me.

To me it just smells like a softer version of Bubble Bath. I had higher expectations but I felt it quite underwhelming

You’ve waited all winter for this. Earthy, dirty roots taking shape, life after the frost, promises of signs of life you need to dig after.
