Dusk

I am so happy to have Dusk in my collection! While it totally does smell like Thé Noir on paper, on my skin this is far less screechy and super creamy. I definitely get the fig note in here, but that’s grounded with the help of the vetiver and musk notes. This is one I rock in between seasons, or any time I want to smell fresh and clean. I also don’t know why... but it reminds me of a person who does yoga, drinks bone broth and makes their own holistic remedies (🤷🏾♀️). Like... the person who wears this smells like they have everything together and I’m all the way here for it!

This is a gorgeous blend. Sexy and complex while still being subtle. Low sillage but you'll smell good when someone hugs you and your scarf will hold the drydown for a while. This is something I love for an everyday "I just want to smell good" but dont want to be hit in the head with a parfum, per se. Its a mood-lifter, a sensual but gentle nudge edit: the dude behind the counter at the deli complimented this fragrance today soooo maybe the sillage has more punch than I gave it credit for 10/10

Consciously formulated in the Bronx, Ourside is a Black-owned fragrance brand that's a breath of fresh air. I appreciate the bold packaging and Keta's (founder) mindfulness when it comes to creating these scents. Dusk is an artfully blended fragrance that evokes a refreshing yet lush aroma that captivates your senses. It's a fresh and woody scent that's sensual yet easy to wear. It wears well all day long! I finally found a scent that reflects me.

This fragrance quickly became one of my favorites. I find it so easy to wear and at times I crave the scent. I enjoy wearing this because of the woody aromatic quality, it’s so unique and unlike anything I’ve tried before! I love the packaging, it looks so pretty on my vanity. The brand is also pretty amazing - conscious formulations and Woman of Color owned. You can tell everything from the fragrance to the packaging is so thoughtfully curated.

Dusk is a uniquely captivating scent. Of the three in the collection this one is probably my favorite although it's hard to choose when I like them all. The top notes of fig and berries are a great start and as it dries down it takes a journey. The middle is fresh and floral and the base, musky. Its definitely one to add to the collection.
