The Now

So impressed by this soft, dreamy grass field of a find. I'm usually a rockemsockemrobot (aka I like em really strong) kinda perfume girl, but there is something so dreamy and ethereally beautiful in Now that I'm seriously considering a full bottle. Now starts very grassy and figgy for me, which is such an interesting combination. There is also something solar in the opening, which elevates the mood and reminds you of a quiet sunny Sunday sitting on the porch while Dad is mowing the lawn. She fades into a sort musk which reminds me of a cleaner, and more coconut and cotton version of Cashmere by DK. There is just the right amount of neroli, and the tea under one comes alive in the dry down. This is definitely a better than you skin scent, and may well be my new favorite in that genre. It's missing the wood/pencil shavings that most good skin scents have, but I don't mind that at all as the amber keeps it well blended. 100% a safe blind buy- completely inoffensive, can be work to the office/gym/park/date night/you name it, and certainly a crowd pleaser. No compliments yet but I think that's because... Projection is very soft (which I don't like). Staying power is average (although certainly well above average in the weight class it's competing in). Lasted about 6 hours of so. While I hate the soft silage, I guess a loud projection doesn't really go with the overall vibe of this scent, which quietly beckons for someone to come closer and smell "you." It's also a fantastic price point for the exceptional quality. I'm almost out of the sample I got, and this is at the top of my want list for my next full bottle purchase. A definite must smell for everyone.

I bought a sample of this scent from Ministry of Scent and I'm honestly shocked its not more popular! I initially was drawn to it for the white tea and musk notes, and honestly I would not say this smells like white tea but it does smell GOOD! It is the perfect combo of warm, fresh, green, and sweet, without being too much of one. Other reviewers are so right with the fresh coconut smell. Its not a tropical sunscreen coconut or a sweet coconut candy smell but a spa like fresh coconut. I know fresh smells and skin scents are everywhere right now but this one is so unique. The warmth and naturalness of it almost make me feel like i am wearing a scented body lotion rather than a perfume. If you are looking for a strong sillage this perfume would be disappointing, but it is not a fleeting scent, like other fresh perfumes I love (cough cough Liis) it lasts close to the skin and is just so refreshing and calming to smell throughout the day. Strongly considering a full bottle of her, kinda wish the bottle was prettier though

The Now is such an original, fresh, comforting scent - exactly as Sarah intended it to be. I have the oil version of this but would like to get the spray once this is used up. This is one of the easiest reach fragrances in my collection - works for anytime, anywhere, any situation; work appropriate. It's subtle but noticeable and lingering: the perfect option when you need a break from more intense or demanding scents or experiences. I'm not a big fan of fig scents but I find the tea, grass and musk notes keep the fig from being too dominant. It's a beautifully constructed, highly enjoyable perfume from a very talented and lovely perfumer!

I finally got a full bottle. I’ve sampled this several times over the past couple years and always loved it, so I asked for it for my December 4th birthday. This doesn’t smell like any of the listed “smells like” scents to me. This is a gorgeous fresh scent. It’s a white musk at its heart, but has a perfect touch of fig and sandalwood for creaminess, an oceanic breeze fresh quality like fresh air, and a green-ness that is subtle. It’s slightly creamy, clean (but not laundry) and fresh. I can’t find a flaw in it and I’m excited to have it. The bottle is very pretty. This is a good one for any occasion including work.

Very very into this fragrance! With the intent on becoming more familiar with musks, I picked up a couple of samples from Ministry of Scent and this is the standout for sure. It’s extremely comforting. I definitely think the term “your skin but better” is played out because now it just references any bright musks on the market, but this one really does a great job melding with my natural scent. It’s not really clockable that I’m wearing perfume, it just makes me smell really nice and fresh. I keep grabbing for it and I’ve only had it a couple of days. Definitely going to be a full bottle purchase very soon.
