Scent of Aurora

Arctic berry summer! The notes are sweet but not too sweet, as the berry, arctic raspberry. And I get a lot of black currant and a bit of tea too. In the heart and base it's berry cashmere woody, but the wood doesn't take over. I don't know how Eva does it but this honestly smells like my childhood summers in arctic part of Sweden and Finland. And this makes me think of the taste of cloudberry too. I haven't tried anything like it as I can remember. I love it, it really takes me back to the north somehow. I guess that's the difference between niche and designer made scents: It has soul!

A beautiful scent. Warm, a bit skinclose, superfemale'ish, come-and-hug-me-scent. Great mix of Black currant, Iris, Tea and Cashmere wood. After a few hours there is a sweet Cashmerenote hanging around. I have dry skin and I can smell it for over 10 hours. A keeper! En underbar doft. Varm, lite hudnära superkvinnlig kom-å-krama-mig-doft. Suverän mix av svarta vinbär, Iris, Te och Cashmereträ. Efter några timmar återstår en söt Cashmerenot som är hudnära men ändå tydlig. Jag har torr hud och på mig doftar den över 10 timmar. Ett måste!!

This is a delicate, close to the skin scent, but still with veeeery good longevity. Woodsy notes, iris, tea. A very fresh smelling, but also very natural and outdoorsy smelling scent. Not a iota of the "dreaded detergent" here, I am happy to report. Might be black currant in it, I can ́t tell, maybe I ́m anosmic of black currant, because I can ́t detect it in for example Hermes Amazone either? Something in this perfume makes me think of the scent of wet ground just after a rain... Absolutely delicious! I am very happy with my purchase!

My second bottle. A beautiful scent - safe for office. Very nice year around. Warm, female and sexycosy -with cashmere and tonka you can't go wrong. A come-and-hug-me-scent. Its not loud - and not skinclose neither. Min andra flaska. En underbar doft - helt ok för kontoret. Funkar fint året om att bära. Varm, kvinnlig och sexig - med cashmere och tonka kan det inte bli fel, liksom. En kom-å-krama-mig-doft. Den är varken skrikig, kraftig -inte heller hudnära.

I was a bit scared that this would be too powdery for me, but it's not. This feels like how I imagined and wished Byredo's summery scents would be (my skin will not cooperate with that brand, it's.. ugh). But this... This is gentle and not at all cloyingly powdery. The iris is prominent and light in the opening and then comes the sweetness of the berries and the tonka. When the cashmere peeks through after a while it's friendly and soft. It might be the white tea that balances everything out and makes this something more than just powdery and sweet. Youthful and light, but I can definitely wear this as a 40+ woman. The projection is stronger on my skin than The Pearl from the same collection, but I think it is my skin. Cashmere and powderyness usually sings off it (it can be a curse sometimes but not in this case). The drydown is cashmere, tonka and blackcurrant, which makes me feel warm and cozy. I still prefer The Pearl if I had to choose, but it's only because I prefer a less sweet scent when it comes to feminine fragrances. Edit: Wait, something exciting happens in the late drydown and I can't put my finger on it. I'm 4 hours in and I realise this one has something I haven't smelled before - it's a very addictive scent. If I breathe on my skin it becomes clearer. It's fruity in a unique way. I look forward to getting to know this fragrance better...
