My Past Selves' Flowers

Toskovat has done it again. I'm in love. Honestly, I hope Toskovat lives on for many years to come, it’s such a wonderful brand, I adore it. I'm surprised at how negative the written reviews are for this one. This is a very lovely fragrance. This fragrance definitely has oud, it has familiar rubbery undertone, probably the same oud ingredient as in In The Belly of The Beast. It's very odd, it almost has an aquarium smell to it. It is musty, mineral-like and industrial. For some reason, I love it. On my skin, Past Selves Flowers is a linear, decent-lasting scent and it transports me somewhere mentally that I can't really define but its absolutely captivating and nostalgic. It's floral and fruity, but not overtly girly nor mature. Just a "young adult" fragrance, perhaps during tough times. There’s a sense of outdoorsiness but not quite, somewhere between rural and urban, with a subtle sour-candy sweetness mixed in. Definitely pineapple. And when I read this has a mangosteen note, I can absolutely smell it. Unlike some other Toskovat perfumes which are abstract, this one delivers exactly what it promises in my opinion. Maybe it's a skin chemistry thing. It kind of reminds me of Civet by Zoologist, Nightingale, and Nostos by ELDO. Which is an odd combination I know, but it works beautifully. I am having trouble comparing this to anything else. Maybe Pining Dew 2 by Toskovat'. Maybe... But not peppery at all. It’s addictive!!! Four hours of wear is nothing for how much I enjoy this one. I keep reapplying because it smells so beautiful on my skin. It's so hard to describe this. You need to try it in order to understand.

This is aggressively melancholic, in a very good way. Wilting florals and incense that go hand in hand, complimented by resins. Definitely get the opium note, and it is beautiful. A very gothic scent, finally, without patchouli. I only have a sample of this fragrance, and I will cherish it, as I doubt I would be able to afford a full bottle. Beautiful but oh so expensive...

Unexplicably bright, magical, feminine scent. Gorgeous !!!! The complexity of the notes is abslutely oustanding. I'm brought to my wrist again and again to explore it. Beautiful ! Absolute masterpiece of a feminine scent. I "feel" the opium, it's truly addictive and beautiful. I'm considering one day full bottle for sure.

Man, this is just beautiful. It’s a stunning floral journey with hints of balsamic and woody aspects. I bought a 9ml of this to wear on special occasions this spring. I am SO excited to wear this when I see Poppy 😝 It has sweet notes that really make this perfume quite versatile. Def a spring winner!!!

Forgotten, Lost and dusty. This fragrance does not shout, does not scream but only whispers. The subtle integrity of this fragrance leaves a fraction of sadness. Not Large, Not Full, But empty. This fragrance smells like forgotten memories of something that once was. Someone.
