Solstice Scents
Notes:
Oak, White Carnation, Oakmoss, Egyptian Musk and Vanilla
I expected to like this one - I'm usually pretty fond of a musk/vanilla combo, I adore Solstice Scents' vanilla note, and I like carnation in perfumes a lot. But... no. There is something weirdly synthetic about this and I can't figure out what it is. The oak is overpoweringly strong when sniffing in the vial; it smells like wood polish rather than actual wood. That transfers to the skin too, which is not pleasant. The dry down is a little better, as the oak retreats to the background and the scent becomes a floral musk, but it's not distinctly carnation - there's none of that spiciness you usually get. Surprisingly, it didn't last very long either - it was gone in a couple of hours.

2/5 No matter what stage this was going through, that synthetic note was there to some degree all the way, and it really put me off this one.
Day 116!
From the notes it sounds like something I would like, but you never know, It might be synthetic on me too...
ReplyDeleteI was surprised not to like it myself.
