Low Carb Cat

This is so interesting and yummy. It starts out green and almost a little spicy, but still with quite a bit of sweetness, like a bright green tea with honey or maple syrup. The bright spicy notes remind me almost of a spiced cake or oatmeal cookies, like another reviewer said. Within an hour that initial brightness and spiciness tones down and it develops into a creamier, gentler scent that reminds me of a light, fluffy vanilla spongecake. There's definitely something a little cozy and animalic in the drydown, like the smell you get when sticking your face into your cat's warm clean fur. So sweet and unique. You can definitely pair this with a vanilla body spray to totally amp up the sweet gourmands in it, or you can leave it as-is for a beautiful rounded out fresh scent that is great for those who are apprehensive about gourmands or easily get headaches from strong, cloying vanillas. Now for the real question: does it attract cats? Not really, my cat didn't seem to be too interested. I'm sure the concentration of catnip in this isn't enough to get their attention, or maybe it has some other ingredients that turn them off (like the bergamot.) For those of you who stumbled upon this fragrance from the catnip note and desperately want to spray something onto themselves that will get your cat to love you, many pet stores offer catnip mists (usually water-based) that my cat loooooves. The intent with that kind of product is usually to spray it on scratching posts or toys you want your cat to use, but I'll admit I spray it on my bedding or even on myself to get my cat to cuddle up and get playful!

Imagine you are a Spring Festival in Japan. The evenings are still chilly enough for a sweater, the wind carrying Sakura Blossoms down to the canal with lanterns lighting their path. You smell sweet delicious treats baking at the vendors while a cat comes up to nuzzle your legs. This is what I feel when I smell this fragrance. I listed that this reminds me of "A Whiff of Waffle Cone" from Imaginary Authors because both of these do lead sweet. And when you get to the sweet part of Low Carb Cat it's a thick rich heady sweet that does remind me of AWOWC. But what makes this fragrance so extra special is the opening and skin scent left behind. Opening with this beautiful earthy and minty Catnip and Shiso that gives an instant boost of a spring garden then transitions in this syrupy sweet gourmand that wraps around you. Leaving behind this post baked kitchen scent that makes me keep sniffing my wrist. This scent lasted about 4 - 6 hours on me but truly was such a treasure to try. My cat did not care about it so the catnip in it isn't going to attract more cats. However as a cat lady getting to say IT HAS CATNIP IN IT when I have someone else smell me is joy enough.

the opening of this is so refreshing! It’s light, airy, green, and freshly aromatic. Love the shiso note in this. That greenness quickly develops into a sweetness, but it’s still light and fresh. The heart has a vanilla cake aroma with Sakura cookies while still managing to keep a lot of freshness. The dry down is less sweet, and has a warm and creamy base with an animalic undertone. It smells like if fuzzy cat baked cookies covered with shiso icing. This is a fun one and I love it.

The shiso note is maybe not the most accurate but still very enjoyable, and the fresh top notes transition well into the very sweet middle notes. Very complex and fun.

It's just amazing- like you baked a spiced cake/oatmeal cookies then ate it in your garden with a cat! obsessed
