I just like silk for the texture, and I needed something that looked nice. They’re pretty lightweight, but they do wrinkle easily.
Look into Quince. I haven't tried their merino, but their silk clothing was good for me.
I loved the description and name of this scent, but that lit cigarette mention scared me away from ordering this one. Interesting to hear it smells more gourmand!
Today, I am wearing Osmofolia's** Nietzsche's Lychees ** (Lychee, Coffee Flower, Mushrooms, Chocolate, dry sweetgrass, vetiver, black musk, osmanthus, and nagarmotha). Mmmm dirt~ Wet: I get a tart lychee with chocolate and vetiver. The lychee quickly goes away and I get left with a nice earthy scent with the dry grass smell becoming more prominent. This perfume is very earthy and warm. I'm a fan!
Yeah, the contrast between metal and strawberry was what intrigued me, but it didn't go how I thought it was going to go.
Today, I am wearing Osmofolia's Shotgun (wild strawberries, cold metal, pink peonies, whipped cream, vanilla, white amber, white sandalwood). Wet: I immediately get a faint metal scent with a strawberry scent that reminds me of medicine. As it dries down the peonies start to smell stronger, but the strawberry note isn't working for me. I usually like strawberry perfumes, but this wasn't for me. I was hoping for a more metallic perfume, but the metal note disappeared quickly.
Fyrinnae was what got me into indies! I enjoyed everything I've gotten from them, but nowadays I don't really do eyeshadow looks, so I haven't bought from them in a while. I've also enjoyed their perfumes in the past, but it looks like my old favorites were discontinued though. My favorite perfume houses are now Arcana and Fantome.
I love Witch Baby for their bath and body products. I basically use their body soaps, body butter, and body oil all the time. Sometimes the soap designs are so pretty, I don't want to use it. Fairy milk, Cord Cutter, and Hex Breaker are my favorite scents from them. Haus of Gloi is another good house for bath and body products too! I like their whipped soaps, pumpkin butter, and hair oil. Imp and Persephone's Descent are my scents of choice.
Athame & Alchemy is a great indie brand for wax melts. Their wax melts are super strong, and I really like that they use wax paper as packaging rather than plastic.
Today, I am wearing Black Hearted Tart's Electric Feel (Lime, Lychee fruit, rose, melon, grape , citrus glazed bundt cake, golden amber, and sweet musk). It's such an uplifting scent! I mainly get lime with a lychee and rose combo in the background. The lime isn't tart at all. It's very yummy smelling like a lot of Black Hearted Tart's perfumes.
Today, I used up my last bit of Deconstructing Eden's First Blush (Pink Freesias, sugared white violet petals, pale pink roses, pink lady apples, white lilies, bergamot, lily of the valley, pink mimosa and white musk). This perfume just smells pink. It's sugary and kind of has a spicy kick to it. I can pick out the apple the most, and on a close up sniff I can smell the floral notes. Florals in EDP form work so much better on my skin than in oils for some reason.
