And without further ado, Lizzy’s Fine Dark Eyes Perfume Oil by Sucreabeille. 5ml bottle. (Scent notes: Orchids and chamomile blend with lavender, ylang ylang and hyssop. Peach blossom, sandalwood, and sparkling aldehyde bring lift and depth.) On opening, the lavender is immediately apparent and it is sweetened with the peach, hyssop and ylang ylang creating an understated playful elegance that is then amplified with the sparkling aldehyde which indeed brings this blend "lift and depth". The true magic in this oil occurs an hour later when this lovely vintage quality takes hold with the lingering dry lavender along with the grounding creamy sandalwood and at that point, I'm smitten by this "beautiful expression of dark eyes" and can't stop sneaking sniffs when no one at my work setting is looking but then again let them look. Despite this fragrance being inspired by Miss Elizabeth Bennet's dark eyes, this fragrance is delightfully light and magnetic at the same time. For longevity, this perfume lasts 6 hours on my skin and considerably more (about 13 hours) when placed in my curls and my locks hold onto the sweetened bubbly aldehydes longer. A wonderful introduction to the scent artistry to be found in this collection. Two Dances with Darcy Perfume Oil by Poesie Perfume . 5ml bottle. (Scent notes: a splash of her lavender water, a hint of his Regency cologne and pipe tobacco, the polished dance floor, flushed skin, and is that...the perfect pear?) And now we move onto the ballroom floor and take a turn with Two Dances with Darcy that on application lavender appears along with a dribble of pear juice and the realistic pipe tobacco that now amplifies on my skin completely sweeping me away to a compelling scent story I don't want to leave. There is something about the magical marriage of lavender and pipe tobacco that I can't resist in any blend and in Two Dances with Darcy, these notes entwine beautifully and yet are somehow improved with the addition of pear (and a possible hidden airy vanilla?). The polished floor is evident on the dry down which holds a nostalgic quality for myself as I think back on ballet lessons and later one particular locale filled with entertaining thumping music as we whirled around the wooden rink while lights flashed in time to catchy tunes. In terms of this blend conveying the utter captivating dance of emotions from this crucial scene between Lizzy and Mr. Darcy, this oil bottles that moment wonderfully. On me, Two Dances with Darcy leans more feminine with the lavender, pear and hidden vanilla I keep getting wafts of, the tobacco and cologne fades into the background giving way to the familiar comforting herb and fruit at first then becomes more noticeable as hours later go by adding some interesting warm supporting contrast. For longevity, Two Dances with Darcy lasts around 4 to 5 hours and stays close to enjoy and sweep me away to one of my favourite scenes in a treasured novel. *The A Winter's Ball (Pride, Prejudice & Perfume) collection is currently available for purchase Sharing Notes of Interest: Did you know that First Impressions was the original title of Pride and Prejudice? At age 21, Miss Jane Austen's father submitted her manuscript to a publisher but it was rejected for various reasons and wasn't resubmitted for consideration until 14 years later after Austen's success with Sense and Sensibility. She also worried her novel too frivolous writing “The work is rather too light, and bright, and sparkling...It wants shade; it wants to be stretched out here and there with a long chapter of sense, if it could be had.” I don't know about anyone else, but I think she succeeded on all levels and showed the world her genius with wit, romantic flair and a book like a fine box of sweets you can't put down and something one must experience. Speaking of publishing, it is a sad little known fact that Jane Austen never submitted her works with her name, she only signed them "By a Lady" or in the case of Pride and Prejudice- “by the author of Sense and Sensibility.” Her identity was revealed to the public by her brother only after her death. I would be remiss to not share a darker note of interest that in the mysterious death of Miss Austen which to this day is still being debated upon. On July 18 1817, Austen passed away at the age of 41 (only 4 years after the publication of her masterwork, Pride and Prejudice). Was she poisoned by arsenic, whether by the common practice of adding the caustic heavy metal to prescribed and easily purchased medicines (or simply drinking water supplies or wearing coloured fabrics) in 19th-century England or was it done with malicious purpose by someone she trusted? Did she succumb to an underlying condition or undiagnosed chronic disease (Addison's disease)? We may never know the whole story, all we do that is a brilliant author and shining pen was silenced that day and her works have caused a sensation of fandom and scent inspiration and beauty inspiration (such as the A Winter's Ball collection). It's a shame this authoress (like so many other writers) will never know the impact their words have on the public and each new generation. For further reading, I recommend: The Real Jane Austen: A Life in Small Things by Paula Byrne, What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew: From Fox Hunting to Whist—the Facts of Daily Life in 19th-Century England by Daniel Pool and Fashion Victims: The Dangers of Dress Past and Present by Alison Matthews David For inspiring music (I enjoyed these playlists while typing out the above and following fragrance and beauty items reviews), see: 1, 2, 3 and 4 Vials Ethereal Lace Ivory Lace Lemon Lace Pink Lace Serene Lace Tea-Stained Lace Crowned (from the Bonny & Buxom collection) One Note At A Time
Ethereal Lace (white lilac + old books, Vanille, antique lace) In the vial: LEATHER and an AIRY SWEET LOTION scent Applied: This was the vial I was anticipating the most when I ordered but alas no lilac is detectable on me versus so many others I have seen gush about Ethereal Lace. I get a not so pleasant combination of glossy leather and something reminding me of my workplace with a sweet powder finish. In regards to the vanilla, it does occasionally peek out behind the thick leather scent but it is more conceptual than I had hoped. There is still something vintage I like about Ethereal Lace but ultimately I don't think this one is keeper for me. (**please remember everyone's skin chemistry is different and what my chemistry does with one note may not happen on someone else. That's the unique beauty of perfume oils, they react with everyone differently- don't hesitate to try a sample of something if it interests you). Ivory Lace (three vanillas lashed with amber honey + wrapped in antique lace) In the vial: SWEET POWDERY HONEY and faded VANILLA with WARMTH Applied: Ah! This is a better vial showcasing the elegant lace accord with warm vanilla. Ivory Lace is indeed lovely and romantic without being overpowering (almost a "your skin but better" type of fragrance) and I can detect the faded white florals and a drop of "greenness". It brings to mind the iconic lace ruffs you see in paintings and swaying Queen Anne's lace out in the fields. In terms of longevity, Ivory Lace (don't you adore these gorgeous names?) lasts around 6 hours on me. This would be perfect for those looking for a sweet understated scent that adds just the right amount of something special to finish off a positive day (or night). Lemon Lace (sweet-tart lemon combines with sweet Vanille + antique lace) In the vial: LEMON CURD and creamy POWDER Applied: For a brief time Lemon Lace brings to mind a lemon chiffon creme filling then it disappears to leave a still sweet powdery vanilla that lasts around 3 hours on me. I have to admit it may be my favourite vial out of them all for the workplace setting. It's calming and perfect for spring. Pink Lace (juicy strawberries + pink champagne, Vanille, antique lace) In the vial: STRAWBERRY NERDS CANDIES and CHAMPAGNE Applied: We have a morpher here as Pink Lace warms up with your skin creating a dulcet but refined fruity scent with a smooth vanilla in the background (I want to call this Strawberry Blush). What is it about fruit scents this time of the year? I can't get enough of them and Pink Lace is another keeper for my collection and for my candle warmer. Serene Lace (palo santo incense + a haze of cedar smoke, Vanille, antique lace) In the vial: MINTY WOOD, SMOKE and VANILLA Applied: The longer I allow Serene Lace to age the more the mint-like wood swirls with church smoke in this blend and I must admit I'm smitten with this creation and so is my cat. This is his choice pick as he won't stop woozing all over my arm when I wear this oil. Serene Lace is a fantastic sleep scent (especially in the oil warmer) and relaxing meditative fragrance for those days you just lock yourself away from the mad world. Tea-Stained Lace (rich pipe tobacco + black tea leaves, Vanille, antique lace) In the vial: MINT TEA and VANILLA Applied: Oh, a little bit of unexpected nostalgia for me as I can detect my dad's pipe tobacco and a wisp of smoke in this oil. It's not the true scent of Captain Black Gold but it's pretty darn close. Next the tannic tea intertwines with the pipe smoke and that crystalline vanilla comes out on the long drydown. Tea-Stained Lace is certainly one of the more polished tea fragrances I have tried. Unfortunately, this blend doesn't last more than 2 hours on me but I still enjoy that brief time it takes me back to another time. Crowned (inspired by Jane Seymour) --a clean blend of lavender, mint and grapefruit, fluffy marshmallow, royal sandalwood *this was a free sample that appeared in my order, thank you Poesie Perfume! I'm not entirely sure about Crowned as I amp the tart grapefruit with mint and am still searching for the lavender I can smell in the vial along with any marshmallow or sandalwood. On me, sadly there just isn't any complexity (and there is a mystery waxy note that I'm not fond of that continues to catch my attention) but I can see why others have been gushing about Crowned (it's uplifting and playful but also has a little mystique to it) and I do enjoy this oil in my warmer. It really sweeps away the cobwebs and aids in the mood of spring cleaning and letting some light in. Tudor Rose cherry rose vanilla cocoa black tea (organic black tea, cocoa nibs, natural vanilla flavor, strawberry pieces, apple pieces, hibiscus, rose petals, lemongrass) *this was a free sample that appeared in my order, thank you Poesie Perfume! I'm still training my palate with brewed teas so I can't honestly say I get all of the individual flavours in this cozy smelling mix but all around this is a great way to wake up and sit down to enjoy (I could happily sniff the mini bag alone all day). Is it my favourite from all the teas I tried from Poesie or any other charming shop? No- Twice to Tea, Fearless and Royale Velvet still reign over all in my pantry but I still quite like Tudor Rose though as it reminds me of Albert + Victoria without the spice (Mmm need to go brew a cup of that gem), is an applaudable capturing of a fascinating topic and if it returns someday, I may spring for a bag (this does make a fine delicous dark fruity brew). How can I not collect something that has cocoa and roses listed? *With many thanks to Poesie Perfume for kindly sending me these perfumes at a discount for sharing my honest thoughts. Poesie Perfume Poesie Perfume Recently I fell hard for organic loose leaf tea and I can thank Poesie Perfume (and Vida Pour Tea) for this next collection in my pantry. Blends: Twice to Tea Osborne House Albert + Victoria London Smoke + Fog Twice to Tea *the tea that launched me on a tea loving journey into so many different flavours and a whole new collection to share. Who knew tea could taste this good!
Osborne House: lavender rose vanilla rooibos tea (Ingredients: organic rooibos, lavender. rose buds, natural vanilla flavor) This sophisticated brew starts out with an herbal sweetness that quickly develops on the tongue to a woody smokey vanilla with lavender. I don't get any floral nuances with Osborne House but I do love the smoky quality of this tea that takes it into the perfect wintertime treat. When bubbles are added this blend unexpectedly tastes like woody smoked marshmallows! Another keeper for my pantry. Albert + Victoria: black tea (*Ingredients: roasted chestnuts, cinnamon, vanilla and black tea) Now this is a fine delicious brew! I admit I was a tad concerned when I read the description after purchasing the bag (all I saw was chestnut, cinnamon plus the reference to Albert and Victoria and into the basket this blend went) as they mentioned this medley was robust but to me, this dark tinted tea tastes just like homemade cinnamon raisin nut bread (especially with a drop of added honey) and I'm in love. For cozy factor, Albert + Victoria gets a solid 10 and I would love this warm comforting scent combination in a perfume or bath product. I know it seems silly but I'm still new to tea and I never knew it could be savory or taste this good. Highly recommend. London Smoke + Fog: london fog + lapsang souchong (Ingredients: black tea, vanilla, bergamot, orange peel, blue cornflower petals, lapsang souchong) Compared to Albert + Victoria, London Smoke + Fog is what I would call robust as this blend hits the tongue with a familiar taste of my favourite Twice to Tea but there is more heaviness to this medley versus the others. It definitely calls for a dark winter night of reading but I'm not sure I would repurchase it after my bag is empty. I prefer its dainty and more sweeter sister tea blend of Twice to Tea and I don't think I'm ready to collect more lapsang souchong tea mixes just yet. Maybe I'll retry London Smoke + Fog after I train my palate some more or I may try my hand at making a bath tea, it does smell lovely in the bag and when it is piping hot with a dollop of honey. Perfume: Windsor by Poesie Perfume (Listed Notes: sweet balsam fir, benzoin resin, white amber, Christmas cookies, vanilla creme) *a surprise free sample I found in my order, thank you so much Poesie Perfume! In the vial this perfume promises sweet creme, balsam and amber but alas my chemistry devours this oil and all I can smell is a lotion-like buttery vanilla note and warm amber that fades surprisingly fast. I'm convinced balsam is a note I will never get to fully enjoy outside of inhaling a freshly cut Christmas tree or a homemade wreath and my dreams of smelling like a walking talking Christmas tree all aglow will never come true. Curse you, skin chemistry! All is lost on my skin but I do enjoy this oil in my candle warmer as it adds just the right amount of elegant seasonal atmosphere to my bedroom. I just wished it stayed on my skin and followed me out the door. *With many thanks to Poesie Perfume for kindly sending me these teas at a discount for sharing my honest thoughts. Poesie Perfume Poesie Perfume Recently I fell hard for organic loose leaf tea and I can thank Poesie Perfume (and Vida Pour Tea) for this next collection in my pantry. Blends: Twice to Tea Mrs. Darcy Netherfield Fearless Geneva *incomplete collection not pictured or purchased is Ghost Story from the Mary Shelley’s Nightmare release. Twice to Tea *the tea that launched me on a tea loving journey into so many different flavours and a whole new collection to share. Who knew tea could taste this good!
Mrs. Darcy: ginger rose hibiscus rhubarb herbal tea (Ingredients: organic ginger, rose, hibiscus, hawthorne, rhubarb root) I'm finding more and more I adore anything with ginger and rhubarb together and here in this pink tinted tincture is one lovely marriage of flavours. I get the tartness from the rhubarb and hibiscus and a slight zing with the ginger and this is helping me clear the frosty blues nicely. It is also one drink I've been brewing to ward off the nasty colds and flu season and another blend marked down for future repurchase from Poesie (I hope there are more tea blends to come for the next season and fragrance collection). Curious Mixing: It's delightful with a twist of lime and honey! Netherfield: rooibos tea (Ingredients: rooibos, natural vanilla & almond flavor, pieces of apples, peach & raspberries, hibiscus) Marking one more tea blend down to carefully ration out (I'm kicking myself for not picking up more when I had the chance) as Netherfield is another combination that doesn't even taste like tea and is one I would highly recommend to anyone who is curious about trying delicious blends to be enjoyed ice cold or piping hot. This package creates a dark peachy pink brew that is fruity but refined, a little tart with the raspberries, peach and hibiscus but smooth and refreshing (something I'm going to be reaching for throughout the year). Fearless: apple spice chamomile tea (Ingredients: apple, hibiscus, rose petals, rosehips, chamomile, cinnamon chips) Now this is one heck of a good tea! Fearless smells divine in the bag alone with the sweet dried apple, chamomile and dusting of cinnamon and it's easy to go over the recommended teaspoonful as the bag is chocked full of tiny pieces of odds and bits of fruit, plants and flowers. It promises so much and delivers a perfectly tart sweet apple cinnamon delight that is a distinct rosy pink in my cup and I just made another and am thinking of a third. Highly recommend! Geneva: rosemary vanilla green tea (Ingredients: vanilla, rosemary, fair trade green tea) Ah, rosemary you are one herb that can do it all: season food, make my garden smell beautiful, clean the air, serve as a fine bath time component, ease headaches, be a unique perfume oil choice AND make a mighty fine tea ingredient. Oh this is nice and another blend I will be carefully rationing (the bags are very generously sized so luckily I don't have fear of running out anytime soon). For me Geneva is bliss and the perfect refreshing drink with some smooth vanilla (a kick of green tea) to allow me to relax, clear my mind and enjoy watching the blustery weather outside my window. This calls for some 19th-century themed reading. It's so difficult to choose a favorite out of all the above lovely creations but my top three are: Twice to Tea, Fearless, Mrs. Darcy AND Netherfield are tied for third in my book. They are all so good! Perfume: Creatures Comforts by Poesie Perfume (Listed Notes: "a pastry shop filled with sugar cookies, pumpkin pie, apple tarts, homemade marshmallows, + sticky toffee pudding") *a surprise free sample I found in my order, thank you so much Poesie Perfume! Some days you just want to smell like a pastry and Creature Comforts is one perfume I have been reaching for this autumn for an ultra cozy escape. When applied this oil is like waltzing up to a bakery counter and being given a hand wrapped freshly baked cookie with a dusting of flour on the bottom. That realistic aroma of (as I can only describe as one of my favourite treats to bake) a Russian tea cake cookie is divine in every fashion (it's ready for dipping into hot cocoa if I had any.) I don't want to leave that section but my nose is pulled next to apple turnovers with gooey golden toffee pudding mixed with marshmallows. My chemistry decides where my senses will stay at that point as the buttery toffee amps and the apple fades into sweet powdery marshmallows. Mmm...a definite keeper! *With many thanks to Poesie Perfume for kindly sending me these teas at a discount for sharing my honest thoughts. Poesie Perfume Poesie Perfume Tell me there is a house of fragrance out there that caters to those that love the classics of the library shelves or legends of old and I'll show you my pocketbook. And so it goes with this next shop that caught my attention a couple months ago with a promised collective take on Pride & Prejudice and an offering of inspired teas. From the lovely welcoming aesthetic down to the attention to note selection in the oils that cleverly corresponds with certain titles, silver screen royalty, Norwegian Mythos and more, Poesie Perfume is one house of fragrance on the horizon I can't wait to share just like a good book you can't put down or stop thinking about after turning the final page. Pemberley *from the Fools in Love collection (Listed Notes: Crushed Tomato Leaf, Flowering Woodbine, Wisteria, Peony Petals, Oak and Ivy Leaf) In the vial: A summery burst of FRUIT with PEONY and WISTERIA. It beautifully conveys a summer garden in full bloom with a promise of a romantic meeting in the making that will blossom into a tale for the ages. Applied: Immediately I'm graced with a juicy freshness that melds so well with a little spiciness of tomato leaf, fallen petals of peonies and a gentle curtain of wisteria that closes upon my senses with a lilac-like note that keeps my nose to my wrist. Pemberley is sublime in every fashion and to my surprise gets even better somehow as it dries with a creaminess that lasts well into the night. Poesie Perfume promised and delivered with this perfume. What a fantastic introduction vial. This is one fragrance that will be accompanying me on a journey of a lifetime when I someday travel to the UK and stay a spell at Chatsworth House or sit at the steps of the Temple of Apollo in Stourhead Garden (all iconic spots for the secret hopeless romantics of the world to see). Twice to Tea *from the Fools in Love collection (Listed Notes: Earl Grey Tea, Lavender Absolute, Vanilla Syrup, and Milk) In the vial: Exactly as it says on the tin-EARL GREY TEA, LAVENDER and creamy VANILLA. I never had a London Fog before but I think I need to hunt one down this week. Twice to Tea is so stately and this wand I'm holding has one of the best tea scents I have smelled yet from any house of fragrance. I'm not sure what will happen when applied but I'm ready...well maybe after a couple more sniffs. *Intermission: When I first tried Twice to Tea, it sadly disappeared from my skin almost immediately. Needless to say, I was devastated but ah when will I learn the power of aging these types of oils because I tested it again the other morning (almost a little over a month since it first arrived) and it stayed. Not only did it stay but well let it take us away... Applied: I don't know how these scentcrafters do it but Twice to Tea smells hot on my skin and the earl grey is the real deal with the bergamot amping bringing my nose closer to experience the strong tea and the lavender present. That's English Lavender from the garden I can smell and I can't stop smiling, it's magnificent! I can also detect the milk with vanilla and I know which perfume I will be wearing on cold windy days coming and pouring (excuse me) dabbing on my many scarves as I see about finding a London Fog someplace. Fine Eyes *from the Fools in Love collection (Listed Notes: Rhubarb, Tuberose and Ginger) *this was a free vial with my first purchase, thank you so much Poesie Perfumes! In the vial: Tart RHUBARB and GINGER. It's a sparkling summer creation that I'm so happy I have in my seasonal cache and can't wait to try on. Applied: Here is another perfume that will be accompanying on my journeys or a nice holiday away from the real world. Sparkling ginger leads the way and the rhubarb seals my decision that yes I adore that note in perfume and will be searching for it from now on for summer blends. As this superb oil dries the tuberose is evident and it creates a floral ginger combination that I wish came in every form of body care products imaginable (candle, bath product and aura mist etc.). This whole collection is so refined and Fine Eyes is just one of its many shining stars. Elizabeth *from the Fools in Love collection (Listed Notes: Lilac, Heliotrope, Mimosa, Fresh Earth, Grass and Clover) In the vial: Here it is the perfume that called to me the most when I saw this collection released and I get...Sun-drenched GRASS, that warmness I detect must be from the heliotrope. At the moment I'm not getting any anticipated lilac but something curious steals over my mind when I smell this perfume as I'm reminded of Easter celebrations for some reason. That alone makes me smile. Hopefully, my skin chemistry will behave and tone down the grass and clover to bring forward the other notes listed. (Intermission: Sadly that was not to be as my wonky chemistry caused the clover from Elizabeth to overtake everything and I admitted defeat at the moment. Out of curiosity, I tried this oil again after a month.) Applied: The clover and grass have calmed down and heliotrope comes forward now. There seems to be a floral trying valiantly to battle through as well. Elizabeth still holds a memory of my youth at Easter in many ways and I think more aging is only needed before this interesting perfume is pure magic. I can tell there is something there in Elizabeth that I'm going to love in the end and it just needs a long peaceful rest. Twice to Tea (Ingredients: organic lavender, black tea, vanilla, bergamot, orange peel, blue cornflower petals. ) I have dabbled in tea before with some admitted indifference when trying to drink commercial brews out of necessity to keep awake past midnight at work. If offered tea or coffee, I would usually choose the coffee to bottled blends or cheap bags that all taste the same in the cup and paid a heavy price every time and would be wide awake in the middle of the next day when I should have been getting my rest for my upcoming night shift. That in itself was dangerous as I was so tired driving in, functioning on the floor at work and coming home in the morning. Well, I'm happy to say those days and worries are thankfully over and I'm only purchasing loose leaf tea (and any other blends that appear) from Poesie Perfumes now and forever as I have never tasted anything as delightful as Twice to Tea before, seriously this is what tea tastes like? I'm bewitched body and soul! Now in truth, I'm not preparing this tea in the traditional sense. Lady Catherine de Bourgh would faint dead away if she could see but it is still very humid outside after all and I have been brewing a tiny amount (a little of the sealed contents goes a long way) letting it cool, adding a spot of locally harvested honey then carbonating it to create a one of a kind beverage to beat this insufferable late summer heat with. It's divine when chilled and I have others ask when they smell it how it tastes and if they can try it. I get all the flavours combined in delicious aromatic bubbles that tickle my nose and the smooth vanilla lingers on the tongue. This is one refreshing comforting drink that helps me focus and achieve positive results before the end of the night. As Autumn slowly approaches I have been experimenting with temperature and am slowly switching over to going the traditional route of drinking this blend hot with no carbonation and in the end, Twice to Tea is fantastic no matter how you drink it. Highly Recommended. Femme Dangereuse *from the General Catalogue (Listed Notes: Iris, Exotic Spices, and skin-warmed Leather Driving Gloves) In the vial: There goes one of those wonderful and curious lost scent memories again. Absolutely a transporting oil that goes to the Art Deco period. It's IRIS with SPICE and LEATHER. Confident and seductive. Applied: This is a pearls and silk or satin dress type of fragrance. Complex seductive refinement in a vial and for some mysterious reason I'm thinking I want to wear Femme Dangereuse in winter with a fashionable cape coat and cloche hat. The iris note is simply captivating. Not your everyday perfume but one for very special occasions and events. Thought & Memory *from the General Catalogue (Listed Notes: Lavender, Anise, Cardamom, Vetiver, Galbanum, Leather, Balsamic Woods) In the vial: Battle-scarred LEATHER, BALSAM and SPICED LAVENDER. This is more masculine than I was anticipating but I still like it for the obvious herbs and earth that I can pick up. Applied: Thought & Memory would be fantastic on a man as this is a warrior's scent. No warrior poet but a serious survivor of war. The lavender and leather amp on my skin at first and there is a salt note coming through. The exotic spice note also makes an appearance and the more I'm wearing this oil the more I like it. This is one perfume that when the right mood strikes (not wanting to be questioned or crossed) I will be reaching for. Tiny Phantom *from the General Catalogue (Listed Notes: Pink Roses, Marshmallow Buttercream, Pale White Musk, Antique Mahogany) In the vial: FLORAL and fluffy MARSHMALLOW. What is it about roses and sweetness that creates such timeless magic? I have a very good feeling about this perfume. Applied: Tiny Phantom may just have to be my first bottle purchase from this shop, it's such a sweet elegant perfume and out of all the vials I wore to work from Poesie Perfume, Tiny Phantom was complimented on the most about (followed by Pemberley, Fine Eyes and Twice to Tea). On me, the buttercream, musk and mahogany stand out after the delicate rose fades but never disappears completely. To be clear, this is not a childish bakery scent potion (however delightful those can be at times), oh no like all the vials I tried and listed in this article Tiny Phantom is a well-blended polished fragrance and completely wearable in the workplace setting. It's also comforting, familiar and mysterious in many ways and so aptly named. Poesie Perfume |
