"Southern charm" in perfume embodies a blend of warm, sweet and floral notes, often featuring magnolia, peach, vanilla and magnolia. These scents evoke Southern hospitality and nostalgia, ranging from fresh garden florals to rich, comforting, or sophisticated fruity florals. Magnolia, rose, jasmine and citrus are often used to mimic a Southern garden while peach nectar, raspberry and honeysuckle are sometimes combined with cognac or tea for depth.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler:
- Death & Floral Bless Your Heart Honey EDP - Dark vanilla cream bourbon, honeyed mint leaves, sugared oranges and sweet southern blessings.
- Eldritch Whispers Southern Gothic EDP - An eerie blend of peche de vigne, cardamom rum, tonka and vanilla Cashmeran.
- Imaginary Authors Saint Julep EDP - This fragrance may conjure memories of your first wild experiences in the American South, running through the sprinklers and sweet conversations with your grandparents. With notes of sweet mint, tangerine, magnolia, bourbon, Grisalva, sugarcube and crushed ice.
- Olympic Orchids Carolina Parfum - Carolina is a sweet floral-gourmand fougere-type scent reminiscent of the American South. It takes you from a day spent among sun-warmed pine woods, grassy fields and roadsides sprinkled with wildflowers through lunch in a diner that serves iced sweet tea and fresh-baked banana bread, into a warm, humid night sweetened with the scent of night-fragrant flowers and the persistent undercurrent of tonka-rich tobacco curing in the wooden barns and historic red brick factories. With notes of longleaf pine, hay absolute, magnolia, kudzu flower, tea, honeysuckle, star jasmine, vanilla, tonka and tobacco leaf.
- Sixteen92 Only Children Weep Parfum - Inspired by the book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Frequently banned or challenged in school districts across the US and Canada, usually due to "use of racial slurs, inappropriate content, adult themes, and objectionable language." They’ve done it before and they did it tonight and they’ll do it again and when they do it – seems that only children weep. It is a sweet warm-weather fruity-floral with southern charm with notes of sweet tea, azalea, red clay, rhubarb, dry wood and cement.
- Sixteen92 The Sound and The Fury Parfum – Inspired by Southern Gothic literature, it is a warm and earthy green floral. This one works equally well in warm and cooler weather. With notes of southern sweet tea, Carolina jessamine, balsam, fern, warm musk and loam.
- Snowy White Owl Perfumery Carolinas Perfume Oil - This scent has fruits of blackberry and peach, popular in the south, sugar and lemon, because you can’t have sweet tea without, at least, sugar, and that beautiful southern floral note of heady magnolia. Mint tobacco is thrown in for a gourmand but the real diamond in this scent is reminiscent of the scent from Charleston, South Carolina, home of the sweetgrass. For many years, beautiful baskets have been made by the Gullah peoples living in these regions, their cultural knowledge coming from West Africa. The original baskets were made from bulrush but, later in the early 1900’s, sweetgrass came into the picture. With notes of sweetgrass, blackberry, juicy peach, breezy aquatic notes, mint tobacco, magnolia, sugar and lemon.
- Solstice Scents Southern Veranda EDP – A southern floral fragrance with notes of lemon, magnolia, sun-warmed grass, green tea, green leaves, sparkleberry flowers, amber, antique garden roses, blonde woods, warm soil and powdered sugar.
- The Little Book Eater Reading on the Porch Perfume Oil - Inspired by the joy of reading outside in the open air. Made with scents of iced tea, lemon, honeysuckle and sugar. The perfect combination for breathing deeply, living simply and enjoying a great book. A fresh floral blend of iced tea, lemon, honeysuckle and sugar.
