Mirabile

Omg I have so many thoughts here.. I’m so glad I trust Aisha’s (aka AItheGreat) nose because her and I have such a similar taste except when it comes to tuberose but that’s a different story. This fragrance has lavender listed which i hate with my whole heart i think lavender is such an old harsh smell then there’s the people who kept saying there was a minty quality to this fragrance and as someone who wanted a cozy vanilla with some booze i was terrified that this would be a gross smelling disaster but i trusted how much AI really loved it and i found a good price so i decided to just try it and wow.. i do smell the minty quality and there’s a touch of lavender there but in some magical way it’s all blended to work.. I was intrigued at first sniff but i fell in love during the first full day wear. It’s so cozy and the minty/lavender aspects only make this more unique and honestly it elevates the cozy boozy vanilla notes like the whole breakdown of notes is complimentary towards one another and i didn’t think that would be possible. There’s something about this scent that is both soothing and it evokes my scent memory. I still don’t know what it reminds me of but each time i sniff this its both intoxicating and it feels like its familiar like it’s a memory just out of reach and i have no idea where i would have smelled anything even remotely similar because this fragrance is unique and it’s so friggin good like my god this was the biggest risk and reward because i was worried this would be horrendous and instead i find myself in love. I wore this to bed the other night just for myself because i like the way it smells when my fan blows the scent around me and it made me physically feel comfy and soothed. Don’t get me wrong this is a vanilla boozy scent that’s sexy enough for date night but it’s also one that youll be happy to just cozy up with yourself and read a book. Wear it to work and make others wanna get up in your personal space like it’s that type of warm come hither scent. Also it’s an enigma because its so cozy boozy and warm but it opens cooling because of the minty aspect it’s almost like a niche icy hot fragrance because of how its both cooling/minty but also warm. I recommend anyone who loves vanilla to at least sample this and give it a wear.

After extensive research looking on Youtube, Fragrantica, and IG, I blind bought this confident I was gonna love it. I heard milky vanilla dessert and I 😍😍😍😍😍 needed it in my life. Nauuuuuuurrr GUYSSS THIS IS 10/10 for me!!!! IM IN LOVE ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥😍😍😍✅✅✅🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁 I didn’t expect to love it as much as I am honestly because I was unfamiliar with Buchu and don’t really like malt, rum, rose or patchouli that much. This... is an absolute masterful blend with no edges throughout the entire wear. So relaxing and cocooning. Lauren Redolence on Youtube said it is similar to Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac (which I love) but projects way more and I absolutely agree! Btw, this is totally NOT linear... it’s a rollercoaster of pure bliss. First 15 minutes: Herbal, aromatic and fresh smelling. Smells spa like and I can sense naturals in it. (DISCLAIMER: this smells like it has actual mint LEAF like from your garden... it’s slightly green) I love this phase because it smells like a very unique fresh minty-lavender-herbal combo After 15 minutes to 1 hour wear: Vanilla starts making more of a appearance, with milk leading it in in a delightful creamy way. After 2 hours: I’m smothered and hugged by the creamy milky vanilla. It’s projecting. I feel like I could detect the Tonka adding more sweetness. The beginning scent is basically gone but there slight herbal nuances still. This is a work of art; bottle and scent. Get your life here guys.

What an interesting specimen. It starts off like creamy lactonic orange juice... then a few minutes in that OJ goes away. And I'm left with something really special. Creamy gourmandy and spicy. But nothing like I've smelled before, I assume that is attributed to some of the interesting notes listed above, like: malt, opoponax, buchu (wth are these? 🤨).. as well as the cloves & lavender. This is just really good. And it took me a couple tries to understand it better because of the new-to-me notes, so I guess you can say it was just a little "challenging" - but so worth getting to know because it's really lovely. I could see this not being blind-buy safe because of this. The dry down (like 10-15 minutes in) is to die for. Just a good ole lactonic-creamy vanilla fragrance with some spices. There is something almost herbal-minty around the edges - I think it's what makes this unique & special though. This scent profile never gets old to me. UPDATE 12/25/24: I love this even more a year plus later. It's just a beautifully done, unique fragrance in my collection. Unique without being too out there, I can see a lot of niche-lovers loving this one. Feminine imo. Such a lovely cozy warmth with this. I get the comparison to Van Py Rhum, but this feels a little lighter (not chocolatey like VPR), add a touch of an herbal-minty quality. I love both.

This is SO DANG GOOD. It is still on my skin from last night, oozing out when I sweat. I just love it. It was reminding me of something and I couldn't figure it out but then I realized it has many similarities with Lune Feline which is another love of mine. However this one is slightly easier I would say, as the cardamom is more blended out and balanced with other mystery notes. I just want to say one thing- this is not Junior Mints!! Not at all. If there are any aromatics, they are very subtle and the focus is the vanilla mixing with the myrrh and spices. I am beyond thrilled with this one and as soon as I get home I will spray more. And then I want to get Mea Culpa- what rave reviews over there! I was thinking it would be like Reminiscence Patchouli but it sounds like it's different, smoother, more like Coromandel. Now I am so curious about all the fragrances in this line, although of course I don't really need them all since I am very in love with this beauty, Mirabile, and I would wear it anywhere.

Mmm this is a spiced spiked sweetened milk... THINK: of dropping a shot of rum in a tall glass of 2% - or maybe even whole milk - and then adding a spoonful of honey & delicious gourmandy spices to it. THAT is what you are getting here... Super comforting. I can see this being AMAZING in the colder months. But Ima savage so I'll wear even the most cloying perfumes in the dead center of Summer. This is not cloying though imo. This has nice presence on the skin. Not too loud, definitely not a skin scent. A nice mid-range. Not gonna choke people out, but I can still smell it on myself. COMPARISON TO ELLIS BROOKLYN BEE... I love Bee, but that one is a lighter, summery honey. Like honey+pool water, no spices that I can smell anyway... ...this one is completely different. Only sharing a kind of "honey" experience (even though not listed above*) VERY happy to have this, as a lactonic lover... spiced gourmand lover. I don't have anything that smells like it, so it has it's place here in my collection.
