First Snow

Upon application there is this this concoction of musk/white tea notes I think? The eucalyptus isn't very present, but even then the smell is a bit fresh, if that makes sense? And of course it smells like vanilla. On the dry-down, I get yoghurt vibes for some reason. The vanilla becomes much stronger and the mint has more presence now, while the white tea note stays the same. Think a vanilla flavored yoghurt/pudding/cream. The musk kind of disappears into the background and just seems to operate behind the scenes (aka it wouldn't be the same smell without it, but it's much less prominent than before). Can smell something reminiscent of flowery notes sometimes, but not overly so. Not much projection unless you overspray, but I like it that way. :)) I bought it because I was on the hunt to finding a true "snow" smelling fragrance and it got recommended. It doesn't smell like snow at all, but in hindsight, I should have expected that! I still love it a lot and it's become my fav fragrance out of the ones I own so far. I'd solidly put it into the gourmand category though.

This is beautiful. For under $15, this is absolutely beautiful and wears well. Some people probably enjoy being contrary just to feel relevant and I'd never want to take that away from them. But if you need an easy reach, anytime, grab and go, inoffensive scent... This is it! It rides the line of middle ground in every way. It's got sweetness without being a gourmand, it's got freshness without being a freshie, it's vanillic without being a standard "vanilla", it's aromatic without being green. It's a great job done by this perfumer. I'm about to look up what else they've created. I can't even imagine how much better they could do at a higher price point.

This is a hidden gem. A lovely, easy reach fragrance for cooler/cold weather that is both fresh and cozy at the same time. The opening really does remind me of a snow...it's crisp and aromatic with the eucalyptus and tea notes, but these notes are in no way harsh or overwhelming - they actually smell "cooling". The eucalyptus and tea are sitting on a bed of vanilla, tonka and musk which turn this fragrance into a clean yet cozy fragrance as it dries down. To me, this fragrance perfectly captures the cold freshness of a first snow as well as the coziness that a blanket of snow inspires.

Bracing, biting opening with the tea and eucalyptus, the latter of which I sense prominently; it even cools my skin. Beautifully dries down into a fluffy, cozy, and warm vanilla-tonka-musk. A hint of orange blossom in the mid provides balance. This really does smell icy and warm at the same time. I'm so impressed. Why is no one talking about this? I purchased my bottle for under 30 USD. Wonderful value and will look into more Victorinox perfumes.

Bought this on the gray market after hearing it recommended by Veronica Says on YouTube. It's lovely and easy. It's winter here in the Midwest (currently -7), and this is a fresh, soft, enveloping scent. It's refreshing without being sharp or biting. Longevity is 3-4 hours, but it's very office safe and an easy bedtime scent.
