Reddit: Smells like a perfume version of afternoon in late summer. Sounds redundant to say “a perfume version,” but I mean that as in this isn’t a true atmospheric: it’s more of a suggestion. Dry straw and corn - impressed with how strong the corn is. Dusty-smooth with a pale creaminess that becomes more apparent as it dries. I can’t explain that creaminess but suspect it’s the musk at work. Juniper is on the faint side, still adds a nice twinge of gin-like evergreen. I have no idea how to identify antler velvet! Perhaps the velvet is what’s helping along that dusty-smooth feel.
Indie Scent Library: Immediately, this is warm straw and a slight muskiness that smells like hugging your puppy’s neck after they’ve played outside. It fades over time to be a warm skin scent that is really nice without being obtrusive. I can see this getting a lot of use in the colder months.
Indie Scent Library: A warm, dry, skin-like scent. I get a blast of fresh juniper at first, then it dries down into a fuzzy blend of dry straw bales and light musk. The corn gives it a hint of ‘golden’ depth, but don’t worry, it’s not discernible as corn! Hard to describe, but a cozy scent!
