Glimmer

Glimmer and I took a while to fall in love. Our first date was a bit...odd. There's nothing odd about Glimmer - don't misunderstand - but I've never had a Chai Tea (milky tea simply does not appeal to me) from which Glimmer's inspiration came, so I really didn't know what to expect. I suppose something bigger and spicier - something bold. Glimmer is not bold. She is wonderfully creamy, lightly spiced and oh so, so soothing. She is a comfort and has become a bed time favourite. She starts out clear and sure - I love a bit of ginger - and slowly warms down to cashmere soft buttery bliss. Again, Corey (and Aelfrik in this case) have managed to create something truly beautiful and many steps away from mainstream fragrances. Completely unisex, easy to wear - no sharp pointy bits to cause headaches or dirty looks. But safe? No - CE does not do safe. They do playful, slightly risky, and really, that's why I seek out frags from independents now. Yes, they need to pay the rent, but they're not creating fragrances to keep the monolithic accounting departments happy. They create to make themselves, and true lovers of wonderful fragrances, happy. Continue to stay true to your vision if you can afford to. I promise to continue beating the independent drum until the fragrance world sits up and takes more notice - the notice you deserve. I purchased my bottle and the contents and opinions are mine.

Rose suede and chilling spicy notes of clove and ginger. After about 30 min it goes very powdery and a bit creamy.

This is one of the oddest, left-field scents I've ever come across. Seriously. It smalls like stale wafer biscuit! It must me the milk-clove-suede combo. Oh my goodness, seriously top 10 weirdest scents I've ever come across!
