Petal Jus

I was so incredibly excited to receive my discovery set from Binaurale, which contains their six current fragrances. For each fragrance, I have done a blind smell test, only after thoroughly taking in the scent and determining a true and thoughtful opinion, I will review the notes. After this test, I have worn each scent for a full day, one by one, all on their own. No layering. Final day, final scent. Honestly, when I did my first blind smell test, this one stood out to me the least, and I'm not sure why, because on my skin the Vinyl and Condensed milk come out so perfectly together, it is such a strange yet enticing scent, it really captivates this Indie vibe. Now, that Vinyl is extremely prominent, and stays for at least an hour or two, now after that, it fades and only lingers slightly, but then I am convinced the Condensed Milk and Tonka truly come out and meld together, making such a sweet and luscious combo, almost vanilla but not quite, just so sweet and irresistible, now I am stuck with the issue of not knowing which full size bottle to purchase first... Imagine this; you are in a record store, wearing your jet black leather jacket, while browsing, you meet the coolest girl! She has a sharp haircut and even sharper attitude, this is her signature scent. Overall this scent gets a solid 8.9/10.

This is the most "me-in-a-bottle" scent I've found. It's so cool and unique. I get compliments from friends but they say it smells like me. The tonka and musk base is warm skin, then the condensed milk is sweet, probably my favorite version of milk in a fragrance. It reminds me of Vietnamese coffee. The vinyl note is cool and I think keeps everything from just being straightforward flowery sweet. It's not plastic baby doll head either which I hateee. The nectarine/guava sticks around and gets dripping juicy wet, maybe supported by the tuberose/peony but I can't really pick those out of the scent. This is just perfect kinda weird warm sweetness. I wore it a lot when I was starting school this January so that's the only vibe association that comes to mind when I wear it. All good vibes, like a juicy perfect day around the town, you hit up a record store, thrift store, get pho, maybe see a movie or go to a show. I don't really see it being a summer fragrance though.

Yes, this is extremely Y2K. This is the actual-factual smell of sitting across from your mom and the other ladies getting their rollers/perms set in those big, dome hair dryers at the salon. Hair product, magazines and sticky vinyl seats. Snapshot aside, this opens as a delicious juicy floral that develops into an addictive milkiness on your skin and clothes. That nectarine is absolutely mouthwatering and keeps the damp florals from feeling too vintage. The vinyl note is present from the opening to the mid, which I think helps balance a mouthwatering but otherwise somewhat basic scent profile. Vinyl gives this scent a deliberate setting, context, EDGE. This scent also lasts all day! Developing beautifully and becoming creamier as the hours wear on. Very playful, weird and wearable!

My immediate impression was a photorealistic scent of flower petals. I feel like I’m somehow “smelling” the feeling of rubbing soft petals between my fingers! On subsequent sniffs, I get wonderfully creamy, sweet, peony and tuberose. I can imagine flowers swirling around in the wind in a cartoon. I love vinyl/plastic accords but I feel like my nose doesn’t pick them up as strongly as others (especially as much as people who don’t like them, I wish I could trade sensitivities!) but the vinyl starts to show itself after a few minutes. After a few times wearing it throughout the day, I declare it full bottle worthy as soon as I scrounge the funds together

WOW. This stuff is so cool , one of the most unique things I’ve ever smelt, I got it in the discovery set and was blown away by this one, imagine its year 3000 and the world is a stark clean futuristic dystopia, there are more robots than humans and all plant life has been extinct for Hundreds of years, but the robotic citizens have developed an AI sent profile of what they imagine the ancient plants known as flowers may have smell like, this is exactly what pedal jus smells like, and it’s absolutely amazing Definitely gonna pick up a full bottle one of these days, sweet milky AI generated flowers in a bottle, In the best way imaginable!!
