Indie Scent Library: Oh, heck yes. This should be the official scent of the South, because it’s perfection. The magnolia is strong and sweet, but kept in check by the dirt/damp headstones. This smells exactly like a cemetery in Charleston– walking under giant live oak trees heavy with moss, looking at headstones from 300 years ago, all while smelling gorgeous flowers that were left on the graves.
Reddit: Spiced green florals and dirt. I don’t know if “spiced” is the right word, but that’s what I’ve got - it’s somewhat peppery. Starts off a bit astringent but that burns off pretty quick. Very green with wet stone appearing after a few minutes. An atmospheric clean green scent. There’s a danger in this type going soapy but that isn’t happening on me this time, which is a nice surprise.
Reddit: Magnolia! Lots of fresh realistic magnolia, down to the leafiness of the tree itself! I also definitely get the airy greenness of cypress tree and an overall wateriness that is really lovely. I can get a sense for the dirt really deep under it all, but it's very subtle and more like damp loam adding to the atmospheric quality. I really like this one, may spring for a full size!
