POESIE SUNDAY MORNING (Based on reviews of the oil version)
Reddit: Full disclosure, my sample just arrived yesterday (Tuesday) and I'm first-testing it today (Wednesday), so it has not had the usual 3 days' rest from the mail that I typically give to new arrivals before trying them. However, I'm comforted by the fact that Poesie scents rarely change much for me from arrival to first-test, so I think these thoughts are likely to remain my impression (and if it does change dramatically over the next few days, I'll make sure to post something about it!) I can say that this scent feels like all the best of Poesie - elegant and pretty yet incomparably cozy. Like many classic Poesies, it has a soft pastel vibe without being youthful or girlish, and happily for my taste, it's much less sweet and gourmand than some of their past releases. Anyway, on to the specific thoughts about this lovely scent! On me, it's brown sugar, warm citrus, snuggly fabric, and of course, a burst of delectable cardamom! This is absurdly cozy and really does feel like a sunlit morning cuddled up with a blanket, the leisurely sort of laziness that's only possible when there's absolutely nothing on your to-do list and you can just bask in the coziness. The brown sugar and orange citrus is quite reminiscent of breakfast - it's not quite "pancakes and orange juice" but sort of gesturing in that direction. The linen note isn't as crisp and clean as a linen accord can often be, but more just plush and soft. And of course, cardamom! (That's the only note my husband identified when he sniffed my wrist, so it's VERY obvious.) This isn't my all-time favorite Poesie cardamom scent - it would probably need an additional sandalwood incense or black tea note for that - but it is SO soft and warm and comforting. I will be upsizing this for sure. I wasn't expecting much by way of throw, but it's actually really good on that front. I'll update this post later today to add a note about longevity as well. EDITED TO ADD: throw was good while it lasted, but this is a fairly short-lived scent, under half a day on me.
