SOLSTICE SCENTS WOLF SPIRIT REVIEWS
Fragrantica: Great ceremonial Native American feel. Pine needles, tree sap, cedar chips. Incense for sure, like an offering to the Spirits. Really like this one.
Fragrantica: Wolf Spirit is a powerful scent that I find incredibly calming. I know palo santo is used for smudging. Now I understand why. Upon applying Wolf Spirit I am transported to winter in the Northwoods. The pine-like notes are dry and cold. I thought maybe I smelled sage. Yet Wolf Spirit has warmth like a glowing candle in a snowy forest night. The incense of a dwelling where one retreats for solitide and contemplation. Pinyon is listed on Solstice Scents but not Fragrantica. I am guessing it's the sweetness at the heart of the smoke and pine. So I actually wore Wolf Spirit on a snowy December Sunday. It's perfect for the cold or for a day where one wants to turn inward. It's peaceful and protective. I used the lid of my sample to apply Wolf Spirit twice early in the day. I still smell it as I write this review in bed. My boyfriend told me he could smell it when he was near me. Sillage isn't big, but it's strong, and longevity is impressive.
Fragrantica: I really like this! Wolf Spirit combines open air freshness with warm smoky woods. Such a nice balance of the notes. Aromatic but soft. A little bit sweet. A little bit spicy. Very nice!
Fragrantica: (This review is for the oil roller ball version) This starts out with a nice burst of evergreen resins, bark and what I think is the Palo Santo (never smelled Palo Santo before, but I’m guessing that’s the fresh, not-quite-smoky scent I’m getting in the opening) This first leg of the scent journey reminds me of being out in fresh mountain air. After several minutes I also get a subtle, spicy juniper berry joining the evergreen and wood notes, but this does settle down to a warm, slightly spicy incense-juniper aroma for the majority of its life on my skin. It is worn close to the skin but does last for some time; every time I think it’s just about faded away, I’ll get a pleasant whiff of it again. Over all it is well-blended and it can be difficult to pick out all of the notes at times, but the maker’s description of how it plays out is very accurate.
