Mosaic Eau De Parfum

I’m a little surprised to see so few reviews here for Mosaic. It’s a really comforting woody vanilla-musk that leans slightly masculine. I bought it based on the story and (really, just gorgeous) bottle a few years ago, and promptly forgot about it. Bringing it out today, it’s a much deeper fragrance than I remember. The oud takes a backseat to the sandalwood, which has a really bright note I normally associate with Santalum spicatum. I also get a hint of clove and cardamom, which warms it without having a specific “holiday” feel. If I had to throw comparisons, it’s less pungent than TF Tobacco Vanille, but deeper than Korrigan by Lubin. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a shot of serotonin without being sugary. A little goes a long way— I’ll never be able to finish the whole bottle on my own, so I left it on my husband’s vanity in hopes I’ll be able to smell it on him this autumn!

Woody aromatic vanilla, from beginning to end; delicious and warm. The opening had something a little bright and sour that I could not identify. I thought it was saffron but it was oud, I think. I am not really good with notes. Whatever it is, I like oud now.

Greatest perfume there is. I only can buy them online which is a shame, but their service is great so I guess that's fine with me.

Like vanilla and bubblegum. Reminds me of middle school...In a good way?

I enjoy this scent very much although it is very soft for my usual preference. I find on me it is mostly woody, followed by vanilla-ish, and not very much musky. I sampled years ago, and am sampling again because I wrote it down as one to come back to. I REALLY wish I adored it because it is a stellar, unique bottle. Alas, I would never want that much of it, even though I'd have to re-spray a lot to live with it where I want it. I will just keep it on my list of things to occasionally sample. To me, it is a fall day or evening scent without enough boldness to be inappropriate anywhere--sometimes that's a good thing...
