Overnight

I found this perfume in a boutique hotel gift shop while travelling for work. I sprayed the tester and in a few hours I knew I needed to go back the next day to purchase. My only wish is that I would have purchased two. This has been a near daily wear since I purchased and it is not available in Canada. By the time I factor in exchange rate from US to Canadian dollars and account for shipping I am looking at around $250 Canadian for a $50ml bottle. If you love deep spicy aromatic scents that maybe aren’t for everyone this one is for you. The dry down is even better than the initial spray and there is staying power on clothing and skin.

One of my solid faves. Woody, warm, spicy— at first sniff I imagined a cup of cardamom tea with gently billowing incense in the background. There’s a soft floral sweetness as well, but this is by no means a floral scent—it just rounds out the earthy edges a bit. I wear this all-seasons, any occasion. Any gender. Absolutely adore it.

One of my favorites, and one that I turn to year-round for any occasion. Woody, but there is a sharpness and bite from the spice notes that keep it from being “cozy”. Roses come from the bottle but disappear on my skin, which make this one feel ever so slightly masculine to me.

I fell in love with this at the store but unfortunately my skin really amplifies the incense note, which is not my fav scent generally. Altogether though it is tempered well with the woodiness and doesn't make me feel like I'm going to get a headache and/or have Catholic flashbacks like most incense scents do. Where to wear: lying down underneath a pew at a choral motet/sound bath concert I just went to
