Morozko

I adore this fragrance. (I am a Type One Diabetic, so my skin is rather acidic, mind that). Whilst I wish the min lasted long then it did. The notes underneath that came through are utterly intoxicating for me. I cannot stop sniffing myself, the scent dried into this beautiful warmth, like a fuzzy blanket on a cold night. It's vanilla is more like the concept than what vanilla tendt to smell like in perfume, it's this silky sweet tone with this mint bite at the back. The birch and spices aren't very strong but they add a complexity that requires intimate smelling to grasp. Upon initial spraying the peppermint and peppercorns are all you smell. Which is a delicious combo, that pepper combo is sadly a short lived experience as they both tend to mostly dissappear within about 15 to 20 minutes. . After that it slowly becomes more and more vanilla like. Pushing through the earthy birch tone. (like a put out fire covered by snow)

At first spray the perfume was unapologetically mint. It was very herby mint and not the typical sweet mint that a lot of candy companies have. It dried down and smells more like mint, pine, and sweet like a thin mint or a mint cookie. It reminds me so much of a Christmas Day and night, one where you walk into a room with candles on the Christmas tree, mint desserts scattered around the house, and the small snowflake like frost that sits on your window. I would say blind buy safe- beautiful and well done by Fantome.

Smells like the winter wind. Spicy peppermint, cool and fresh, it really is like a frosty gust coming down from the North over the mountains. And while I get how you can read the opening as turpentine, and the mellow down as a dentist's office... neither of those things are cons for me. My only gripe is it faded fairly quickly, but it was still the perfect choice for a cold NYE.

morozko is winter itself. it’s sharp but has a depth to it that makes me continually want to smell it again and again. it isn't overwhelmingly pepperminty, but still resembles it and remains fresh. the power of this scent is amazing in the first hour but after that it practically disappears.

An icy spiced peppermint. The vanilla base is lovely and helps it feel like the warm coat you'll wear in the snow. There is a note in this that can give me a migraine and it is simply a tragedy as I lovvvvvve this scent. I have the perfume oil
