Cardamom Rose Sugar

I've only ever tried this in the oil form, so I have to let this rest a few months so the cardamom isn't overpowering. It's this super sweet maple syrup and green cardamom and rose. The dry down is this comforting, slightly spicy, maple syrup that I just LOVE. Would I wear this in public? Probably not because the cardamom could be overwhelming to others. This is more for wearing at home to relax or before bed. But I have used up two FS oils of this and I plan on repurchashing when I use up my third bottle. I enjoy it that much.

Cardamom Rose Sugar's two top notes harmonize as one aromatic chord sustained throughout, with brown sugar running underneath—eventually transitioning into one long-lasting, warm-spicy note. This and all Solstice offerings take me back to my ol' Hippy days—flower garlands; earthy ingredients handcrafted into potpourri, candles, and incense that fill the air; organic things that satisfy the "nature freak" in me.✿ Scent family: Floral Spicy Gourmand Longevity on me: long-lasting

This is a strongly sweet, brown sugar and rosewater scent. It is very pretty and VERY foody. Every time I've ever worn it I get constant comments about smelling like pancakes or oatmeal, so be prepared for the brown sugar to translate as maple syrup and breakfast foods on the skin. For an oil this has great throw and good longevity. I can't wear this one to work because it draws too much attention.

I'm so excited for this to be added to the database! This is a gorgeous gourmand. The rose is tempered by sugar, caramel, and spices that all blend in harmony and make this sophisticated and memorable. People will want to hug you when you wear this.

I will revisit it after it's been sitting for a few months, as of right now it's fresh out of the mail. It's okay. For me, on my skin, the cardamon is not very well pronounced. It's actually a huge sweet bomb of caramel/molasses/brown sugar. There is some florals lifting it up and some cardamom sharpening it. Really not much else apart from the brown sweetness. From their site, "the long term dry down is primarily a sugary, warm, brown candy scent" this is the most accurate description of the perfume. I am gonna let it rest, as I am told you should do with perfume oils, and revisit it in a few months. 5/10
