The Strange South's perfumes are blended by hand and bottled in small batches. They are alcohol, paraben, phthalate, and cruelty-free; the only testing being on willing human subjects.
Indie Scent Library: So…I live a street away from this Iranian patisserie, and this fragrance reminds me so much of that store! It begins smelling like dried fruit peels and finely-ground pistachios. After five minutes, I also get the marigolds which smells rather bright and tea-like. Definitely a spring-time scent that’s a hell of a mood-booster.
Indie Scent Library: At first, there is a bright, effervescent citrus that lasts about 30 minutes. It’s very noticeable and easy to smell from about a foot away. That fades to a nutty white-ish floral, which makes a ton of sense now due to the pistachio and marigold.
Indie Scent Library: This one smelled a lot different than I imagined. It’s almost like flowers and fruits, slowly rotting on the ground. Sometimes I even catch a tiny whiff of the dampness. Maybe it’s the marigold note that’s going crazy on me.
Etsy: Begotten is a familiar but interesting scent that I would highly recommend! Nutty and floral and the epitome of spring and summer!
