Kindred Spirit

This is lovely! I wasn't expecting much bc of my experience with Silver Moon last year, but I have no issues with smelling the notes in this one. And what a great mix of notes. The Myrrh really amps up a slightly sweet rose, giving it that gorgeous spice as only Myrrh can. Palo santo wood gives it this lemony woody (this is my first perfume with it and I'm impressed with the depth it gave to the overall composition) thing~y, for lack of a better word. A nice counterpoint to what could have become just another boring sweetly spiced rose. Scent wise, totally impressed. But.....there's always a catch, right? The longevity isn't more than an hour, sillage is right for me, meaning from my wrist or back of hand to my nose. At this price point, it's not an issue bc it's still a decent skin scent. I really like that from a chemical standpoint, it leaves a smaller foot print on my skin as well. I have Lord of Misrule by Lush and love it, too. They don't smell alike to me, not even close. The sweet, peppery patch and gorgeous vanilla in that one has a different effect. Rose Jam is only similar in the broadest of ways. If you just want one sweet, slightly spicy rose, then maybe this one would be redundant ~ you'd miss that gorgeous wood, though.

A really nice throw-back to the late 70's and early 80's. This scent is kind of an incensy, light scent. It reminds me of the incense that we burned in the 1970's when there was "free love" and everybody smoked pot. "That's" the smell. But framed up against 2021, it just comes across differently, ie, it's still good after all these years! It's deep and sexy, at an organic level, not a club level. This could easily be a watch-movie stay-at-home and cuddle fragrance. It's exceedingly seductive if you wear it that way. The sillage sits fairly close to your skin but other people will smell it and indeed you will too. It's warm and inviting. Or, it doubles as light and comforting, perfectly fine for day-wear and especially in the fall. Think "incense" - perfectly fine for day but if you want it to, it can take you into night. It does have a lighter side with a touch of rose and lemon that smells good. Maybe that's the myrrh?? The overall effect is quite nice, switching between deep and sexy and good and light and rosy, all blended into one. I would recommend you try to get this one. It's really nice, especially for fall, winter and it's totally affordable. I purchased the hair & body mist at Marshall's for $4.99.

I love this, this is my signature scent. Everyone tells me I smell like incense when I wear it and that's exactly what I'm going for. The woody, powdery, balsamic spicy sweetness is just so beautiful and sophisticated yet simple with only 3 notes. I love it. Pacifica is one of the few brands I know that can create such beautiful complexity with so few notes, and have it all blend perfectly, but this is my absolute favorite of theirs. I don't agree that this is a dupe for Lush's Lord of Misrule (or vice versa) but I do detect similarities and love both fragrances so I'd wager if you're a fan of one, you'll also love the other. I also don't think it's similar to Rose Jam, I really don't like Rose Jam. I've never smelt Imogen Rose so I can't compare but my guess is it cant compare. So far, nothing has been able to. Musk Amber by Nemat came the closest for me but Kindred Spirit is still much better. I miss this. I wish Pacifica would reintroduce this scent. Maybe with a prettier bottle. Not a fan of this one.

mmm....wonderfully creamy myrrh. The rose is really a background note to the myrrh...not that I'm complaining! I think this perfume pulls it off wonderfully. This scent is sexy to me...not "traditionally sexy" more so in a "hippie-flowerchild freespirited woman" way. Right up my alley. It's youthful and edible and unique. The lemon blends ever so softly in the background...really livening up the palo Santo and musk. Soft, eclectic, reminiscent of something natural and real. This perfume smells raw in a good way. Like holding a chunk or amber resin and a stick of palo Santo with roses blooming softly in the background.

Sugary and ashy, like smoky cotton candy...I know that sounds very, very weird but truth be told, I’ve never smelled myrrh nor palo santo (I know, I know...) but I did pick up the rose in this in addition to the sugary, smoky notes. This is something very different than what I’m used to but I really am enjoying it. The smokiness is not overbearing at all - it is present but soft, and is more like sweet smelling rose incense or potpourri.
