Craft

I have over 100 perfumes sent to me by brands, and have smelled thousands of perfumes and after 2 years of owning this, it has still remained my favorite perfume. Keep in mind that I’m a 21 girl, and I don’t like challenging perfumes. This is my love letter to Craft. Craft is a sensorial experience. It’s a juxtaposition of nature and science, warmth and cold, freshness and sweetness. It is the epitome of balance, to my nose. It has created its own genre. The scent itself floats, you can’t touch it. This mist or cloud is warm once you put your hand through it, you feel its subtle moisture particles on your skin, and then you’re hit with a freshness of a breeze once this mystical cloud floats away. It’s inviting, and subtly fresh (freshness reminds me of cedrat and citron accords) yet utterly unique without it being pretentious. For those who smell it on you, will feel as though this scent is an extension of your natural scent. It’s not at all synthetic or screechy as the notes suggest. It lasts around 8 hours, and it always remains as a presence somewhere either on your clothes, or your hair for long after. I doubt one could feel this as I do if they smell it in a store, this will come to you when you’re not distracted and you smell it on your skin.

so cool, refreshing, airy, cold and very austere, you really get a fresh scandinavian dark/black forest vibe from this, very coniferous, eucalyptusy and piney, kinda reminds me of those pine needle sodas really surprised with this one, it's very avant-garde, futuristic, and the aldehydes really help transport you in a different world, for me it brings me straight back to where I lived as a teenager, my house was right next to a huge eucalyptus forest, and whenever it rained, the wind would carry this incredibly fresh eucalyptus scent towards our house, it's probably a scent I've been trying to find ever since, and so far this is the closest I've gotten, Concrete Lightning by DS&Durga was also kind of close but it misses that woody, green/piney eucalyptus quality so it didn't hit the spot I already love incense scents and I was looking for a greener version that I could use through spring/summer, Kyoto was a potential candidate but the longevity is really weak, Craft seems to be the answer, and I like how it balances the greens and the incense better too, so I'm super happy with this find, really versatile as well, I can see myself reaching for this in any season, the only thing I wish is that it projected just a tiny bit more

As a perfume influencer, I had the opportunity to pick out my favourite of this line, and I opted for this masterpiece. This is the coolest perfume I have. This marries with my skin and personality, and it becomes a very wearable, alluring and intriguing scent. It’s the epitome of a signature. My best friend has fallen in love with this, she’s a very stylish, striking put together woman, and she could smell it in the room after I had left for about 15 minutes. This LASTS. And perfumes don’t usually last on me. This is warm, skin-like but make it woody. It has crispness and coldness but it doesn’t smell cologne-y or vintage, yet it’s resinous and mysterious. It honestly has everything yet it’s so balanced and leaves a cloud of a clean, woody and musky scent with an addictive quality that I’m not sure where it comes from. Truly obsessed.

Such a nice surprise. Craft is often compared to Heeley's Cardinal and I've to say that, for the most part, I agree that they share more than one similarity. With that said, Craft's aldehydes blast is really pushed to the maximum to enhance the waxy element of this incredibly delightful incense. As a matter of fact, if I were to draw a parallel with another fragrance, I would still drop Cardinal's name but I would probably go with the candle version over the body fragrance. The result is an extremely sparkling and clean dry fragrance with a remarkable metallic aspect that provides an overall aloof vibe. Very nordic and hyper-minimalistic waxy incense at its best. Fans of the coldest CDGs, take note. Rating: 7/10

I only have a sample but I'm blown away by this scent. It smells like a church, at the end of the service when the incense has settled into the wood and the candles have been extinguished. After settling there is a hint of sweetness, I'm guessing from the patchouli. This is a woody, earthy, incense scent. I do not get any metallic notes at all. I also have difficulty picking out the water notes, which is the only downside as my ideal scent (which I'm still looking for) would be woody and watery/fresh. Still, this is an amazing perfume and will transport you to an English minster. If I find nothing better I will experiment with layering.
