I received a sample of their newest perfume, Meet Me On The Sunnyside.

Listed Notes (clementine, osmanthus blossoms, vanilla ice cream, petrichor). And it's listed categorically as a Floral.

On first spray the petrichor definitely stood out above the other notes. I love the smell of petrichor but typically in the air around me, not on my skin. So I gave it a few minutes to dry down so it could become a background note. After a couple minutes the orange really comes in strong, it's bright and sharp and heavy. Probably the strongest citrus I've smelled in a perfume. A couple more minutes go by and it smells like a very specific orange candy (2nd pic). It becomes this wonderful sweet nostalgic scent that reminds me of childhood at the park. It eventually mellows down to an orange cream popsicle and takes on more of a skin scent. To be fair though, this was from one single spray on my wrist. I haven't tested it out with multiple sprays or onto clothing yet.

I really enjoyed this one! It's beautiful for Spring/Summer Season. And honestly I just can't stop smelling myself 🤗

hi, can anyone who has a macerated bottle of in dreams and fairytales vanilla by sorce send me a photo of how dark their perfume is? i just bought a bottle and it looks fairly dark yellow already but i want to see how someone that has already been macerating theirs' bottle looks for reference-- i don't know if mine is already macerated to the max or if i should leave it be for a couple months

i will attach a photo of my bottle for reference

** disclaimer what i'm asking for will sound very nitpicky so if reccommending a perfume will feel like a hassle for you please don't feel obligated to respond!

i'm looking for other perfumes similar to my signature scents which are "altar of love" & "interstellar angel" by the brand "a house on the moon," i will attach the scent profiles below

so basically looking for warm and airy aromantic+ vanilla or tonka perfumes with notes such as: vanilla, tonka, (clary) sage, rosemary, angelica, grass, violet, lilies, incense, myrrh, labdanum, witch hazel, or dried roses + plus baked goods and possibly skin musk or woody notes

however highly dislike these notes: tea notes, cypress, cinnamon, any peppers, tropical notes other than coconut, citrusy like oranges or lemon, lactonics, caramel, strawberry (juvenile fruits)

sadly my listed signatures only available in 50 ml rollerball oil form so i want perfumes/bodysprays or mists similar to them that also have above intimate projection
.... AND the brand has betrayed me by not shipping my order out after 2 months (they usually take 4~ business days) and ghosting my emails sent to their customer service, so i won't be buying from that house anymore and i reccommend that you guys don't either

Lately, I've been brainstorming ways to enjoy more of my collection in fun ways. This morning, I decided to incorporate my tarot deck and randomize my scent of the day that way!

The method: I am mainly basing my perfume picks off of the element that the card is associated with. If I have multiple perfumes in that category, I will use the emotional tone and the imagery of the card to narrow it down.

• Swords: Air

• Wands: Fire

• Pentacles: Earth

• Cups: Water

Let me know if you want a card pull to pick yours! I'll shuffle and pull one, and then you pick your own perfume based on suit and *vibes*. Also, I have 2 years of experience in reading Tarot for myself; I'm a newbie. For folks who have more years under their belt: feel free to school me! There's always something new to learn.

The Actual Post!

I pulled the Queen of Swords. The vibes are clear communication, clear mind, strong boundaries.

So, I don't have many perfumes that are associated with the air element. I have mostly earth, fire, and some water sprinkled in for good measure. I had to do some searching in my older samples. I found Osmofolia Cumulus.

(fluffy steamed white rice, baimudan white tea, soft white mimosas, sugared musk, crisp fresh air accord, balsamic vanilla orchid, orris root powder, and petrichor.)

This is nice. The only sweetness is from the rice. The air and pertrichor really make me imagine big, fluffy clouds. I wouldn't have picked it on my own, so I'm considering this card pull a success!

Note: ^(this post is for kicks and giggles. I am an amateur reader, and I personally do not believe in divination - though it's fine if you do!). ^(I use my cards for fun and for introspective shadow work. I cannot tell the future, so I shall not attempt to. )

Edit 2: I forgot to tell you about the deck! Today I'm using The Rediscovered Classic Tarot. The deck is drawn by Ukrainian artist Dmytro Ryzhak in the pen-art genre.
