Yogini

I received this perfume as a sample and will definitely be purchasing the full size product. It is a gorgeous scent and works with my chemistry perfectly. Initially, it presents itself as being very clean, fresh, and floral. The pink grapefruit, lily of the valley, star jasmine, and rose petals are at the forefront in the top notes. The middle notes of Egyptian myrrh, sandalwood, and incense add welcomed depth and exoticism to this fragrance. The dry down is a soft floral and almost "woodsy green" scent with a hint of vanilla that is natural and beautiful and reminiscent of what I would imagine the shores of Hydra, Greece smell like. This perfume brings out the romantic in me and I love the fact that there are no nasty chemicals added. Even though I tried the EDT, Yogini has the lasting power of an EDP.

Yogini is a true aromatherapy scent at it's finest... Off the name alone and the brand packaging, you're expecting something light, airy, fresh, ozonic even. But upon first spritz, you're instead transported wayyyy back to where the practice of yoga originated... Indian spices & incense, jasmine, ylang ylang, Egyptian myrrh. So, so good. So relaxing, so sensual, so inviting, so zen. I've been wearing this to bed and falling asleep to the most intoxicating whiffs of what I can only imagine lands far away smelling like in the heat of the night. This stuff can really get into your head if you let it, in the best way possible. Don't hesitate to try this out if you're into exotic, aromatic fragrances that take your senses on a journey.

Makes me feel warm and cozy. I've gone through my travel-sized bottle very quickly.

Clean citrus and sandlewood, fresh air and sunshine, doesn't smell like fine fragrance, maybe like sheets washed with one of those fancy boutique detergents, airy and pleasant

I also ordered the sample & wanted to like it--the fragrance notes are all scents I do like--but somehow I did not care for it on me. I may try another fragrance from this perfumer, but I really did not like the other two small samples included in the order either, I think they were Ageless & Eau Flirt.

Yogini is a puzzle to me. I get creamy blackberry and cotton candy. Think of Angel without the patchouli or chocolate. Received a sample, worn twice. It's a puzzle because it doesn't work on me, but it does. And, now that I've seen the notes list and read of others' experiences, it's fun to see how different my take is. I don't usually fall this far from the curve :) As a final thought, i would never wear this while exercising, that would be too much for me.

Starts out as a super jammy rose. The citrus makes a brief appearance. And then the heart of the scent blooms; A green tinged incense/myrrh. It's airy and fruity, the cassis (blackcurrant) is blended really well with the incense and comes across strong on my skin. It goes to soapiness in the later drydown and becomes not as lovely. Very long lasting, upwards of 12 hours. Overall, it's interesting and pleasant; but not a scent I would purchase.

Bleccht. Not so good. Smells like spicy green tea. Not what I'd wanna smell like! I don't get any vanilla, amber, sandalwood, or cardamom. Just this sharp, spicy grapefruit. No wonder this one isn't very popular here!

Citrus, woods, and incense. Not my usual style but I like it.
