Ember

The third sample I tried from the Kickstarter sampler. According to the website's second quiz, this scent most matches my tastes. I'd say that's accurate; one of my favorites so far. Ember opens with a burst of sparkling fruits, then flowers. Raspberry is the star here, tart and crisp. It lingers on even when the other fruits have long faded. Then there is a whisper of rose and jasmine; I couldn't detect any violet or lily. It dries to a very soft but dry vanilla, with the flowers and raspberry still playing along with green pine. It manages to be both sweet and dry. I associate this fragrance with the zodiac sign Sagittarius. It's fun, unique, with sparkle in the beginning and enough depth in the drydown. Perfect for Sagittarians (and anyone else who loves life) on the go.

First breath was sparking light and fruity, more apple and peach than raspberry. The florals are there too rose, a really bright jasmine and just a bit of heady lily. As it settles the floral takes over and smells rather realistic (multidimensional), although not specifically like any of the listed flowers -- maybe more like a non-waxy gardenia. After about 3 hours the vanilla adds a waxy creaminess. It also makes the pine more pronounced. This is a really bright and cheerful scent to me, and a really great floral

Musky, creamy peach, and then a bittersweet rose with powdery violet. I think there was a really slight sparkle of green apple very briefly. About three minutes in, a musky and slightly powdery vanilla warms up, and that rose is just a wisp. Ten minutes in, warm, powdery violet and very soft woods is the most prominent, but if I breath in deep, I still get that bitter rose.
