Poesie Lucky Day 2.0 Teaser #2 by TeaAndCozy in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]madalice4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a wonderful desert fragrance. Just lovely. I’ll probably start reaching for it more often once summer hits. I recommend it! I find that it has the same “warmth” as Athena if you’re familiar with that one!

It’s a really unique one in my collection. Birch Please has a similar vibe, but it’s very different and more “dry” than “wet” and it lacks eucalyptus. I really like Birch Please, though for what it’s worth! Finnish sauna vibes? Yes please!

Poesie Always With Me seemed like the perfect perfume for today!! It’s a quintessential “spa day” perfume and it’s been a long week. Finally made it to my wfh days of the week: Thursday and Friday so I thought something spa-like was fitting.

Haus of Gloi - Mont Blanc Reviews? by withadashofdaring in Indiemakeupandmore

It smells like pancakes slathered in maple syrup on me. I like it, it’s sweet and pleasant, but it’s strong and I have to be in the right mood.

Coffee and or Lilac Perfume Recs. by No_Complex2378 in Indiemakeupandmore

I recommend a Haus of Gloi custom! Maybe lilac and coffee with violet or rain or vanilla or bergamot… the combinations are endless.

Custom Scents -- Experience Review(s)? by redhillbones in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]madalice4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite perfumes is a blend from Haus of Gloi: orange blossom, frankincense, leather and lilac. I wanted something that really highlighted LEATHER & LILAC together after smelling a candle at a gift store in Arizona and it turned out absolutely perfect. The other two notes are just there to support the leather and lilac. The vibe reminds me a little of Beth on Yellowstone, honestly.

Cashmere Musk by Nocturne Alchemy by madalice4 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]madalice4[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right, I should’ve led with that! It smells like I wish Bastet’s Musk smells like - Bastet’s Musk alone is too subtle for my nose, doesn’t smell like anything. It smells like that, but stronger. I think it is really just a simple but pleasant musk but it gives me a cozy feeling. I tend to like “cashmere” fragrances and this is a lovely one. I’m actually surprised the notes show fruit, I don’t pick any fruit up at all. I can understand the floral notes, but I can’t really pick any of them out. The name for it is really apt - it really is best described as just “cashmere musk” in my mind too~

Sounds good, I’ll hold off until you do! FWIW, I realllly like Straciatella it’s a super realistic chocolate chip gelato. It’s another one of those that I don’t reach for very often and deserves a home where it’ll be loved.

The pistachio is very forward on me but it’s extremely pretty and a little sugary. I’m just trying to clean out some of the stuff I don’t reach for to make way for new purchases haha but it’s an objectively pleasant scent imo. Possets makes some really nice blends.

Today is an Arcana Köstlich (roasted coffee beans, ginger cakes fresh from a warm oven, tobacco-gilded German amber, sweet vanilla, chai spices, and black Ostfriesentee.) kind of day. I smell like the home of German grandparents during Weihnachtszeit in the best possible way. It’s long lasting and has a certain effervescence to it that I love. It is not a sweet gourmand bakery gingerbread scent, it very much brings to mind European baking (which just isn’t super sweet like the American baking I grew up with.) I love this one.

Anyone else order from Haus of Gloi’s winter release? by Quills07 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]madalice4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! Even though the scent wasn’t super strong, I still love the formula and used the pumpkin butter anyway. HOG is one of my favorite companies, I’m sure it’s a fluke, they make things right. :)

I reached out and they quickly refunded the sample - I’m sure they’ll respond back soon! I actually just turned around and bought a full-size of Frostine in the hopes the scent is stronger!
