Smoky Mountain Mallow

Preface: I have only tried the oil format of this perfume. I am crossing my fingers about trying the EDP format because this is my perfect baby love. I don't get the marshmallow, which might be the only thing that would make it better, but it is the perfect smoke scent. It smells exactly like starting a fire in our wood-burning stove with a pine log. None of that industrial, candle, or overly-guiacwood bit I get from a lot of smoke scents. No BBQ or hotdog water either. I want to absorb this through my pores until it's my blood stream, BUT I CANNOT get it (oil) to last longer than 20 minutes on me, if that, and it's a knife to the heart— possibly karma from wrongdoings in a past life, idk. If it last longer on you, enjoy being God's favorite.

I love this. Been leaning into my super sugary sweet basic bitch sensibilities lately. It smells like burnt sugar. Nothing terribly complex or unique, but it’s formulated so well. Back in high school I wore Aquolina’s Pink Sugar, and Smoky Mountain Mallow is less synthetic smelling and longer lasting, a bit moodier with that smoke note. This would be great as a layering scent with something spicy or fruity. I’m on the hunt for a 60ML EDP spray version of this, if anyone has one to sell please message me!

Here's the smoke I was looking for in these Solstice Scents! Many say they have smoky notes but then they never appear. This one is sweetness balanced with an edge of smoky goodness and a warming spice. Dry down is smooth and creamy. Wonderful! Review of official PERFUME EXTRAIT sample purchased directly from SolsticeScents.com UPDATE I bought the roller ball and it smells exactly the same as the sample. UPDATE I bought the 60mL spray and will write a comparison review when it arrives.

Extremely heavy smoke opening. Hot damn. Realistic campfire accord free of that nasty bacon association I get from many smokes. Smoke settles down after an hour but never goes away, lending support to the marshmallow. This house does marshmallow like no one else. Delicious. Take heed, for the smoke may be too much for mere mortals to bear. For most people I might suggest the oil over the EDP just so you can control this fragrance's overwhelming choking power.

I haven't had much luck with smoke scents, especially from Solstice, but I LOVE this one! It's a perfect blend of sweet and smoky, as the marshmallow comes through for me strongly. The smoke itself also isn't BBQ like some can get, it's definitely a 'by the campfire' smoke on me. Full bottle worthy!
