Headmistress is an elegant perfume featuring a bold top note of plum, tannic purple muscadine grape skin and soft cognac leading to a warm heart of spicy clove-forward purple rose, paper and a wooden ruler. The base features notes of labdanum, oakmoss, sticky benzoin, subtle aged patchouli and tonka. Dry down features a spicy, sweet, warm aroma with light resins and woods on a bed of softly musky oakmoss. While Headmistress contains rose de mai, Moroccan rose and Bulgarian rose to add body and the purple rose accord is clove-forward, this is not a floral or rose-focused perfume. Headmistress is sophisticated and no-nonsense with a mysterious and reserved air. It is an eau de parfum, edp.

SOLSTICE SCENTS HEADMISTRESS REVIEWS
cafleurebon: Right from the initial spray, Solstice Scents Headmistress reveals her fruity notes of plum and the juicy boldness of muscadine grape skin. The opening is spirited and impressive, gracefully poised by a soothing trace of cognac. Headmistress, she draws you in, inviting you to get comfortable, maybe even share a treasured secret or two, along with your hopes and dreams. These notes set the background for what follows, tempered by structure, intensity, and nostalgia. Solstice Scents Headmistress reveals her heart as she settles, showcasing a warm blend of spicy clove-forward purple rose with a sight touch of Rose de Mai, Moroccan, and Bulgarian rose to add body. Yet this is not a rose nor floral-heavy fragrance. Paper nuances and the suggestion of a wooden ruler compliment her, adding an unexpected mix that gives it a no-nonsense character, truly capturing the essence of a Headmistress. In the dry down, Solstice Scents Headmistress showcases her quintessence, which features labdanum, a touch of grounding oakmoss, benzoin, aged patchouli, and tonka; these notes deliver a soothing, musky scent that lingers pleasantly on the skin. The nuanced sweetness and warmth, combined with the depth of resin and wood, create a cozy yet mysterious aura that feels engaging and polished. The exquisite mix of light resins and woods adds complexity, making it a fragrance that reveals new dimensions with each passing hour. I appreciate how Solstice Scents Headmistress shows her reserved demeanor; she is not a perfume that shouts for attention but whispers her charm, making it perfect for those who appreciate elegance and subtlety. It is an exquisite blend that expertly balances fruitiness, spiciness, and earthy notes, a must-try for anyone looking for a complex yet refined fragrance with a hint of intrigue. Headmistress is beautifully crafted and conveys a different story to each who experiences her, because the story is also in her diary, which she shows to no one.
