Love

I just bought this perfume oil and really love it. I remember buying the Auric Blends' perfume roller balls from a health food store years ago, and then they stopped carrying them, but I recently found them again online. The Love oil is really pretty. It reminds me of a freshly washed baby. I feel like I'm in a super clean bubble when I wear it. I don't get a lot of projection because it's an oil, but it's there if you know what I mean? This perfume oil is completely non-offensive, and I feel it's a safe blind buy at around $10.00 dollars. I know I'm going to reach for this one a lot. Probably more than my more expensive perfumes. This is what I have on right now, and I almost feel like I'm carrying around a secret. The oil seems precious to me somehow. Maybe because it's not obtrusive and I don't smell it on other people. I feel like I have a little treasure - something like love itself.

I am in shock at how good this is. I bought what I am assuming is the original formulation with the dream catcher packaging. The amber is definitely front and center here. It’s a warm, honeyed, rich amber. I layered this with Kenneth Cole for her straight out of the shower and it’s just perfect for a cozy fall night. I can envision that this oil would be outstanding to layer with a multitude of perfumes. Love is named accurately as someone else mentioned. There’s something very sensual and carnal about this scent. There’s something sentimental too that I am picking up, something from my childhood that I can’t pinpoint. This lasts an insane amount of time. I could smell it for 10+ hours. The projection is interesting . It’s intimate but it lingers to seduce your senses periodically throughout the wear time. I’m curious to try more Auric Blends.

This was my favorite for a super long time, though the formula has recently changed. I’m hoping it’s a temporary thing, as so many products have gone through changes during the pandemic. It’s a white amber based musk with clean linen and 70’s beach vibes. There are a lot of companies that attempt the same, but nothing compares to Love by Auric Blends, as it was last year, I should say. I did buy solids recently that were made with the old version, but the solids are much milder in strength (might work for people with allergies). The roller projects really well, lasts all day, and the cost is a fraction of what other brands ask. I’m going to a local store that has some from last year to stock up soon. I’ll try to order again in the future and will update if I find that the formula is back on track :)

The more I'm getting into oils lately, the more I am reaching for them over my really expensive niche fragrances. First of all, scents like Love are just so easy and comforting to wear. There's a reason why these scents from companies like Auric Blends have stood the test of time. Love is very aptly named...it smells like cuddling a newborn baby. To me, it literally is reminiscent of that warm, soft, cuddly, ever-so-slightly sweet smell that emanates from a newborn baby's head. Whenever I catch whiffs of it it just makes my heart lift a little bit. Love is a big-time love!

This is one of my all time favorites! It’s a lovely musk with white amber, powder, light florals and light woody notes. I discovered it at the Garden of Eden boutique in Minnesota back in 2016. The description above isn’t accurate, it’s been around longer than that! I was wearing it on a trip to Wyoming in 2018 and at a restaurant a waitress stopped me and asked if I was wearing Love! She said she’s been wearing it for 20 years and has never met anyone but me who has also worn it. It’s a very special perfume!
