Sublime Eau de Parfum

This is a fruity, citrusy floral that is so clean and so fresh but she is not to be underestimated; she comes with an edge. I love that they designed Sublime to have a leather base note because that's what makes her so different. She's a clean girl but she's also a badass that likes to take risks. She's taken seriously but she's also a lot of fun and doesn't take herself too seriously! The mood of Sublime is like wearing a silk gown with combat boots or lingerie with a leather jacket. It has a metallic sourness to it that I actually love! The big silver round top on the bottle is very accurate to the metallic sourness of the fragrance. Better in spring/summer but also great for layering in the fall. I like to layer it with Santal 33 because they both have that leather base. This has definitely become one of my signature scents! The sillage is definitely moderate and the longevity is mid, wish it lasted longer but I don't mind reapplying because the journey to dry down is truly an experience!

I could see why some people don’t like this scent. It doesn’t smell typically like a perfume. It does smell like a new car, especially with leather seats. I personally enjoy that, but I would understand why some wouldn’t be inclined to wear it. It’s also somewhat run-of-the-mill, but there is something so nostalgic (not dated) about it, I could tear up. It’s instantly dear to my heart for that reason. Sublime is a clean, crisp, easy and breezy smell. It’s citrusy, but not sharp, and the leather and patchouli ground it. There’s an uplifting yet calming quality about it, and it’s suitable for everyday wear, work or even a brunch out with friends. To me it doesn’t smell niche, but it smells luxe and old money. It’s not trying hard to garner attention, and I personally feel confident and laid back in it. It’s an underrated fragrance.

Belle trudged through the misty forest to find the Beast's old castle overgrown with thorny bushes and climbing ivy. Creeping through the halls, she stumbles an enormous library full of dusty leather bound books. She is enamored by the vast array of rare and out of print books and begins reading feverishly, seeming to forget all about why she'd come. As the sun goes down, the sound of rain hitting the castle stones reminds her that she's not going home tonight, or maybe ever. She curls up in an old armchair and reads by candle light untill she closes her weary eyes and drifts off to dreams land.

This is shockingly a good scent! It's sexy, even...that citrus opening and the leather play quite well together!..Then the peachy osmanthus, with rose and a bit of patchouli adds some depth! I see you,Tory! Sublime is a day into night spring/summer scent! Probably a little too bright for the winter unless your climate allows for it. Performance is also above moderate, here...about 8/9 hrs of wear. Not a projection monster, and you probably don't want to this to be loud, it remains present though. Overall I'd give Sublime a 8/10.

This scent is quite the hidden gem, but it's discussion amongst frag comm was definitely short lived. The scent is a beautiful interpretation of modern day 90's vibes, imo. It opens bright and citrus not like cleaning products more like fresh fruit, then it tries down into the floral components, I experience the leather and patchouli throughout. This fragrance is simple, nostalgic and sort of complex all at the same time. Its very interesting! Performance is moderate and I expect to wear it more this summer.
