The Vow by Nicole Trunfio

This is lovely. Gorgeous sweet rose on opening with some of that sweetness cut by the freshness of the citrus - though it doesn’t smell citrusy at all. The sweet tobacco note isn’t strong so if that’s generally off putting to you don’t worry, it’s not dominant here. The tobacco note comes through about an hour or so in along with the woods. This is a really pretty, versatile scent and for the price point, is fantastic. Packaging is gorgeous too. Lasting time and sillage aren’t huge, but overall it’s a win. If you like dirty/dark rose scents then this is for you.

This is a dark rose-patchouli with some sweetness from the plum. The citrus lends a tart fruitiness but isn't particularly fresh, which I appreciate. The Vow is a deep, wet rose. It's easy to wear but moody. A different brand might have leaned into the gothic dourness of this fragrance, but Lumira isn’t that brand. What disappoints me is that unlike the other Australia-produced Lumira oils I own, this one is made in China. Moving manufacturing to China is a weird move from a luxury, eco-minded, "natural" fragrance company. I wish I'd known this before buying.
