I promised someone on here that I would post pics of my own bunnies when I review the Bunny Collection, so here's Pippin (brown and black) and Merry (the black one)! Pippin likes to model, so I have more of him lol.

I've been super excited to try this collection! I only got 3 that I was most curious about, but I'll try any scent once, so maybe I'll try them all at some point. I'll also be reviewing other random Poesie scents from my sample collection.

Happily, none of the Poesie scents I've tried have been duds for me, so here's my rating scale:

3 = It's good, but I don't feel pulled to buy more.

4 = I like it a lot, might buy more if the mood strikes.

5 = I love it and I want more of it!

Starting with the Bunny Collection:

Brown Bunny - (4.5/5) This is my favorite of the collection. The peach with the bunny fluff results in a fuzzy peach skin vibe, sprinkled with lavender. I don't really detect any coffee. It dries down to almost a fougere-like scent and it's really pretty! I think it's a great choice for a mostly sunny spring/early summer picnic!

Moon Rabbit - (3/5) A couple of months ago I went to a park for a nighttime cherry blossom viewing event, and in a couple of clearings I saw some wild bunnies nibbling on grass and sakura petals! 🥺💕 This scent reminds me of that precious image. Cherry blossoms have a kind of papery/powdery scent to my nose, and this smells like those petals with a delicate, powdery and grassy sweetness. I usually like scents to be a tad sweeter than this, but this feels appropriate for the concept and notes.

Sir Hopsalot - (4/5) This started off smelling just like a donut shop, then more of the citrus came out and reminded me of orange Danish rolls. The Earl Grey comes out more in the drydown and is my favorite part. Definitely has a cozy cafe vibe!

And now for the assorted scents:

Aphrodite's Breakfast - (3.5/5) I don't know why, but I can barely smell this indoors. When it hits sunlight the smell comes out better, and when I come back in, it hides again. That sais, it's delicately green and buttery. The jasmine isn't indolic at all and translates as fresh and light. It leans more towards green/floral than gourmand, so I think it would even appeal to people who don't usually like gourmands. I don't love it yet, but it could grow on me.

Coquette - (5/5) This is a Lucky Day scent I ordered a sample of. I love a good rose perfume, and this doesn't disappoint! It's a jammy rose that's also creamy and fluffy, like a rose macaron cloud. Now the challenge is going to be getting my hands on a bigger bottle!

Nessie - (5/5) I'm hoarding my sample of this until autumn so I'm going off of memory, but I've loved this since first sniff. The shortbread, tea, heather, and peat all come out beautifully, and it has the vibe of drinking tea with cookies while you're curled up with a book on a rainy day. I'm also a big fan of all things Scottish, so a Scottish themed atmospheric gourmand is an automatic love for me.

I want to preface this by saying despite my anxiousness, my intention with this post is mainly for seeking assurance, not to complain. Most of this is just giving context for my anxiety, so feel free to skip to the TLDR, lol.

I placed an order for a Poesie Lucky Day item back in March, with the understanding that it would be shipped mid-April. On April 16th I messaged customer service just to confirm that it would be shipping soon. They said they had begun shipping Lucky Day orders that day, so I would see a shipping notification very soon.

A few days later (the 20th), I decided to add bunny collection samples to my order, and asked if that would extend my wait time by 14 days (the normal TAT), saying I was okay if it did, I just wanted to clarify. My orders were generously combined, and I was told that it wouldn't add to my wait time because the bunny collection samples are ready to be pulled, so it wouldn't be long. I was excited and thought that it would ship within a few days.

By the 28th I still hadn't seen any sign of it and I started to get worried, so I decided to reach out just one more time. I was hoping I might be able to find out where I was in the queue (I was thinking similar to how Sorce posts when they're shipping a range of order numbers). They said they checked my order status, and that it's being prepared for shipment. They explained to me that they've had a larger volume of orders this month, so turnaround time is longer than usual. I was assured my order would be out the door "shortly".

To be clear, I believe what customer service has said to me and I appreciate the help and correspondence. I know it's not usually possible to give an exact shipping date, but when I first saw the words "very soon", I interpreted that to mean "this week." The waiting doesn't bother me (pretty normal for indie perfumes), but my brain struggles with vague timelines. I'm also new to Poesie, so I might be missing some information about the difference in processing LD items vs other collections.

TLDR; Are you in the same boat as me in waiting on Lucky Day items and if so, what scents are you anticipating? The only Lucky Day scent I ordered was Coquette, and the other scents I've ordered are: Aphrodite's Breakfast, Moon Rabbit, Brown Bunny, and Sir Hopsalot.
