Dolly

At my local mall, there is a Lush right next to a video game store. The Lush itself is assaulting inside, but next door in the video game/ figurine store, it's easy to appreciate how it smells. Lush with a hint of a new Xbox controller, or searching through fresh out of the box video game t-shirts. Feeling up one of those mystery figurine bags in hopes you get the one you want well the smell of classic Lush is everywhere. That is exactly what this perfume smells like. Not standing in the Lush store and being assaulted with all the smells, but it has gently filled the store next door so you can really appreciate how nice it smells. The dry down is the best part, every time my wrist comes anywhere near my face I can't resist but smell again. It reminds me of my young classy, hippy aunt. Floral but not like your grandma or overwhelming, soapy in a natural way, you can smell the incense close to the skin which I love. The closer you get, the more you smell. Lovely spring/summer smell. I'm really looking forward to layering with the Glossier You. I originally got this in the Discovery Set from Barre and I have no regrets, I completely recommend trying everything Barre has, Bree has created some very interesting and wonderful scents. Plus, when you order the Discovery Set you get a very nice discount on the larger bottles, and I think Dolly might be the one I use it on!

god i love this. it’s like smearing your moms lipstick on a doll with strawberry scented plastic hair, so it’s not actually strawberry, but it’s something of the sort. nostalgic of someone else’s grandmother giving you a really wet kiss on the cheek, and she smells like really old, vintage, dusty floral perfume that she has had for ages and never seems to run out of. face powder spilled on old leather. so so so beautiful.

My youngest 'Frenchton' pup is named Dalston but quickly Dolly became his namesake. I had to have this perfume for simply that reason, but what a treat it was to find it to be my favorite lipstick fragrance in my collection. I reach for this more than FM's Lipstick Rose and that really says something. Bree is just a master in her craft, simply put.

One of my go to fragrances, just bought it for the second time. It smells like makeup and almonds, or maybe cherries without the sharp fruity tang. It’s a dry sweet powdery smell. I could imagine Marie Antoinette’s wigs smelling like this. If you like shabby chic you’ll probably like this.

The smell of 1980’s suede jackets with powdery florals. The smell inside your mom’s purse. Feminine and subtle. I find the longevity of Barre fragrances to be pretty good, and the silage to be minimal which is what I want, to smell good close up only .
