Blood Spider Orchids

Not at all dark or dangerous, but warm and delicious! I agree with another reviewer’s comparison to Angel’s Share sans booze, which is perfect for me, as my skin ramps boozy notes until they’re all you get. I want to wrap myself up in this scent for all of the colder months, which is pretty much half the year in my area. Incredible longevity. Put it on around 7:30 pm before going out, and it’s now 8:30 am the next day. My skin soaks up fragrances no matter how much I moisturize, so this is nothing short of a miracle. Now in my want list, but I wish the sexy red version was still available!

It reminds me of a softer, more subdued version of Kilian’s Angel’s Share—just without the boozy note. I actually prefer this one since it feels a bit lighter and easier to wear. My 19-year-old has already asked for a full bottle for Christmas (and I’ll definitely be borrowing it!). It’s the perfect fall and winter fragrance as it smells like mulled cider----cozy, comforting, and a little bit nostalgic. Think a soft blanket, a good book, and a cup of hot chocolate by the fireplace. Absolutely beautiful.

My favorite type of candle has always been those ridiculously potent “winter/autumn spice” candles, and Blood Spider Orchid smells like you turned one of those candles into an edible baked good. Which is why it’s so surprising that I’m such a big fan of this perfume, because I usually *hate* most gourmand/baked good scents. I saw someone else compare this perfume to apple pie, and I couldn’t agree more, I really love this perfume. I’m just bummed that it’s summer and I can’t wear it until fall.

Spicy, warm, a touch sweet, and sensual. This is my favorite Fait Main that I own from Regime des Fleurs. It's a dip into the gourmand pool without being sickly sweet or cloying. It's alluring, drawing you closer; it feels intimate and inviting, but also a little dangerous and intriguing. One of those scents where you can't help but to sniff your own wrist all day long. Like all the higher concentration Fait Mains, the longevity is outstanding.

I REALLY like this, to me it’s a spiced plum cider or mulled wine scent. To me this kind of smells like a candle, but not overly so (though if you like Witching Hour from The New Savant, I think you would love this!) The spices are strong, but not in an irritating way. I just have a sample but I think I’m gonna get a bottle (pro tip: you can email the brand and purchase a 1ml sample of a Fait Main fragrance for like $20 plus shipping)
