Somewhere but Nowhere

Somewhere But Nowhere turns out to be a misnomer for this fragrance - it does take you places! Unlike other modern fragrances, although it's got a clean feel, it's multidimensional. It opens up robust, woody, and warm. It keeps some of that warmth but it's like a beautiful piece of wood with Kintsugi gold fill throughout. As it moves and turns, the warmth and depth of the wood grounds, while the gold veins run along it, glimmering in the light. I smell an aromatic sandalwood with citrus, and modern woody musks, but not the overwhelming headache inducing kind. This is a really special perfume. I was provided a sample of this perfume.

smells a little bit Santal 33-ish in the opening, but within seconds the tea blooms and it smells like a freshly brewed cup of Ceylon. it actually is very nice, if a little close to the skin. the vanilla is very subdued, but it is indeed very creamy. I do prefer this to gris charnel and santal 33. no pickles here. it's like drinking a fresh cup of Ceylon with a bit of cream and a dash of honey on a leather couch on an overcast afternoon, shelves full of books lining the walls. 10/10

I thought this would be my least favorite of their discovery set, but it was actually my favorite; I usually hate woody scents so I have no idea what they did to make me like it. If you don't normally like woody notes but want to try something new, I think you'll really like it!

I actually find myself wearing this to bed a lot. I find it super warm and comforting, especially after a hard day. I'll probably be wearing this daily when fall comes again.

Yummy sandalwood scent nothing I haven’t smelled before but I still love it the same!! would definitely buy this in a larger size!!

You stand in the middle of a decaying meadow just at the beginning of autumn. The sun is just above your head, giving the illusion that it should be warmer than it currently is. You can’t remember how you got here, who you should be, or truly anything about reality or time itself. You are stuck in an incurable present with only a lukewarm tea you heated over a underwhelming fire. Its almost like the whole way you made the tea feels analogous to your current situation. You try to find meaning, warmth to your life by leaving all civilization to the middle of nowhere, only to realize even this isolation cannot fix your issues. The fire will never be hot enough to bring you any proper purpose. You leave this wallowing mental state and drag your leather knee high boots back up, reheat your tea one more time and keep going on your way that you don’t even know the point of. Perhaps the true meaningful introspection is in movement, not in an idealistic and false stillness. PS: I don’t know why but this scent reminds me a bit of jazz club replica

At first this reminded me of Liam by Lattafa which was just way too masculine for me. But I bought the discovery kit so I could test out the scents at home when I'm not in Sephora smelling a million other things. This is basically what I wanted Liam to smell like. I find this to be perfectly unisex. I get the black tea, I get the vanilla, cardamom and cedar and I also get the leather which I surprisingly don't hate! I generally don't like leathery perfume. It's more of a "worn in leather" and not a "brand new handbag" type of leather. I guess that's why it works for me here. I ended up getting a travel size after I decided that I do really enjoy this. Might need to upgrade to a full bottle.

Reminds me of sitting in of my aunt's ex-boyfriend car in like summer of 2014, a black lincoln with tan leather seats that kind of burned my legs but I didn't mind because his car smelled good and he played Flo-rida. This is not a summer fragrance, spicy woody, the black tea didn't show up initially for me but its there. Smells exactly like this Crabtree & Evelyn body wash I tried once in a hotel room in Turkey, in the vein of Santal 33 and Santal & Vetiver from Salt & Stone which is still a scent profile I love even with how trite it is lol.

i sprayed this on at sephora. it was kind of off smelling at first, but i love the dry down. it developed into a sweet, warm and rustic wood as it projected into the air. although it stayed smelling sour on my clothes, it radiated a really nice scent bubble around me and the cedarwood projected really well. but something about this one is entrancing and even addicting. smelling it up close: sour. but from afar: really nice and woodsy. overall i'd rate this a 7/10.

This does the warm/woody thing pretty well and the price isn't terrible. I really get the leather on the back end which is nice. It's a little cloying/chemically around the edges which I don't love- I'm sure there is a better version of this out there. I hate the full size bottle shape, but I think the travel size looks really nice which is good bc it's all I could afford lol. The horse on the box got me. I'll be keeping this in rotation.

I like her. The me in my mid to late twenties in LA is Her when she goes out (follow?). Smelling like this, weed, car interior - bar interiors, cigarettes, parking lot flirts. Incisive wit and sharp slinky smile, taking drags on the curb with you in the dark - this time maybe in Joshua Tree. Autumn in southern california.

Oh Somewhere But Nowhere you are more than just a Santal 33 dupe TO ME... though they've got the same core dna, I feel Santal 33 leans noticeably more into the powderiness than this. Idk. Maybe I'm stupid. Whatever. I like it.

Like a sexy, real, cowgirl in an old bar. An old leather jacket, and smoke, but in a feminine spicy way. Smells like she's been outside out day and then stood next to a bonfire for a while, but not in a stinky way.

This is my favorite one of the bunch. Skin scent. Slightly soapy. Cardamom is always good on me. My body’s warmth eats this up.

This is giving 100% Jungle Santal by Target!!! I have both, and I'm shocked how much they are the same

Prepare to get slapped in the face by straight cardamom. I really didn’t want to believe other reviewers when they said it’s super masculine but it is!!! I see how it relates to santal 33, but smelling them side to side, santal is so so so much more realistic leather smelling where as this is so much more spicy and herby. Unfortunately going to have to pass on this.

I was hoping for more out of this particular fragrance. Really thought I would love this based on the notes, but it's just ok. Not my favorite. "Lovely and a Little Twisted" is my standout of the 4, with "Sublimity" at a close second. Really like both of those a lot more. Disfruta is very citrus and leans masculine. Not my thing at all.

i unfortunately had to return this one. despite the incredible smell, it gave me such a huge headache that i had to let it go. warm, woody, and a bit masculine while feeling really wearable, i was super attracted to it at first smell. it's so inexpensive so i almost kept it just for the bottle but couldn't justify it.

goes weirdly sour on me? like if you’ve ever smelled a bag of mulch that’s been sitting wet for too long and gone sour. sprayed on paper it reminds me a lot more of Santal 33 (which doesn’t go sour on me) 🤷 not my thing but at least the sample was free
