Snowbird

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. Day four. Oh my goodness. This seriously smells like a carrot straight from the ground first spray. It is so... interesting. I imagine it is from a mix of the carrot seed and patchouli, along with the woody scents. Picture this; You are a humble forager, you followed your truffle hunting dog into the forest, where you come upon some wild carrots. They are not big, they will only be enough for a light snack, but you count your blessings, (and carrots) add them to your basket, and move along. End scene. I think I'm one of the lucky few because I just love carrots, the fresh, photo-realistic, dirty carrot straight from the ground is such a bright, fresh, and yummy scent. Once you get over that initial spray and let the scent lay and mature, the pear really shines through, it's one of the few scents I have ever found that smell like natural pear, and not some overly-sweet synthetic pear from a dystopian future. It mixes with the fig ever so lightly, creating a sweet melody, along with the herbaceous background of cedar and patchouli. This one has such a complex yet well thought out journey. I am so in love with Binaurale's scents. 8.9/10.

This smells like being surrounded by fresh produce on a beautiful day at the farmers market. On me, I mostly smell fresh carrots that have just been pulled out of the ground and still have dirt on them, but in the BEST way. I’ve been searching for a carrot-centric fragrance that isn’t clouded by cardamom or any other spicier note, and this is it!! This is not a sweet fruity scent either; it’s very fresh and vegetal. Perfect for a warm day and very unique!

Beautiful fresh spicy scent. Smells like fresh carrots and earth. Soft violets and powdered pepper. Fresh air and cool breezes. I'm not really feeling this as a"fruity" scent although it has fig and a small whif of pear. The fig is very green. This is a very green, fresh and spicy, slightly powder fragrance to me. I really am coming to appreciate this house

Beautifully blended fragrance. This smells like a crisp spring day. The slight greenness of this fig blends beautifully into a fruitiness with the pear that then dries down to the soft powderiness of violet. This is sweet in the way carrot and pear are sweet. The final drydown is a delicate powdered sugar. Glad I got the full bottle.

This is such a unique scent and I’m so glad I gave it a try. It has a dry, woody note upon opening for me. As it wears throughout the day, I got more of the fig and pear notes. It smelled so sophisticated and fresh. I would also like this on a man.
