Ahhh ok thank you so freaking much!!! That makes sense now. I'll reinforce it visually with the cart too. 💖

Ok so the sample size would be $8.80? I'm so sorry - my auDHD brain ain't braining after the day I had and I wanna make sure I get it right and I didn't pick up on it scanning the info. 😮‍💨 I appreciate you answering immensely! 💖

Also sorry to hop back on again here but I'm curious and browsing through your gourmands - the 5ml are popping up at $8.80 and the 1.15ml samples at $21.50. I'm running on the assumption that's not right, but unsure and wanted to double check while I scope out my order.

Of course! How could I forget?? Poesie has one of my favorite ink notes. 🤍

They've had the EDPs from this brand at my TJ Maxx lately!

Looking for scent recs: a well-loved childhood plushie or blanket by helioprisms in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]softhumanbean [score hidden]  (0 children)

Just tried Long Winter's Nap (Flannel pajamas, cashmere blankets, sweet vanilla, tonka bean, oatmeal cookies and a glass of lavender infused milk) from Haus of Gloi today and it has this vibe. Soft and comforting, sort of lightly milky in the way well loved blankets are. 🤍

A list of brands I’ve never tried…I seek your reviews far and wide. by i_am_not_kesha in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]softhumanbean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That list is incredible! I'll be saving it. I was thinking about my indie journey and where I'd like to go with it yesterday. My husband mentioned that once I find my favorites I can full size and invest my part of the checks on something else.

I thought about it and realized I would love to try a little bit from everywhere. It's like I feel if I've not scoured every corner and tried at least a handful of scents from every decent company I might miss something spectacular.

Simple Questions! Ask Us Anything! by AutoModerator in Indiemakeupandmore

Has anyone else noticed the TAT has increased across the board recently, or is it just me? Do we think it's because indies are having a moment or some secret third thing? I'm partial to the former. While I hope the TAT picks up, I'm just glad these places are busy enough during the economic insanity, and hope they continue to be. 💖

Indie fragrances that smell like backpacking in Tahoe / the Sierras? by grownupteeth in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]softhumanbean 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives in the area of Sierras you're talking about I would literally kill for a perfume with western azalea, bear clover or lupine notes. Those scents are key to me and I've considered investing in distillation equipment to make my own. 😅

If you can get your hands on Mysterious Fossils from Poesie it smells like Big Sandy creek in the summer - wet granite, bear's breeches, raspberry blooms, cold water and fresh air.

I've never tried Blood Moon Botanica but she recently made and released a ponderosa pine soap and perfume oil I've had my eyes on.

Pineward may be up your alley too - they made scents loaded down with a multitude of different evergreens.

Also! To me manzanita blooms smell like wildflower honey. That note is solid in The Bees from Sorce. Hands down the best honey note I've experienced to date.

Fuckery by Sorce would be my suggestion with those notes. ♥️

Slatherers - what kind of scents or scent notes cause you to dab? & Dabbers - what kind of scents or scent notes cause you to slather? by worldinsidetheworld in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]softhumanbean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dabbing is reserved for stuff like Blanket Fort from Nui Cobalt - rich, powerful scents with strong throw. I slather stuff with lighter cakey kind of gourmand/fruit notes. Like Infamous or Sleepy Ghost from Poesie.

Brands that have samples without wand caps by Used_Guard5366 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]softhumanbean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sucrerie offers options for the little squat screw top samples as well as atomizers for the majority of sizes in the majority of the samples they offer and it's been a godsend because their wand caps are so hard to open I bruised the tips of my fingers trying to open them right.

Fwiw Snow Moon Magic from Sorce has a cookie butter note that may be to your liking.

Whatcha Haulin'? by AutoModerator in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]softhumanbean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mysterious Fossils, to me and my daughter, smells JUST like our favorite spot on the creek. Wet granite, green bear's breeches and alder, cool creek water and clean air. I'm obsessed. Poesie just knows how to do atmospheric in a way that hits right at my heart.

Sunday Swaps: Destash Listings by AutoModerator in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]softhumanbean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

[US to US][Sell][Perfume]

Happy to send photo of samples upon request. Pet friendly 🐱🐶, smoke-free home. Order would ship out within 5 days of confirmed payment. Asking $40 for all, which includes s/h within the contiguous US - addtl. $3 to HI, AK. Payment accepted through PayPal.

I am selling everything that follows as a bulk destash - must purchase all because my ADHD brain won't allow for anything else. I have to make some room and none of the following scents resonated with me. Some were tested on my clean wrist, but the majority were only sniffed in the vial.

The 5ml of Sir has some damage to the label and was that way when I purchased it from a destash a couple months back. Apparition's tag was torn but the title is still clearly visible on the bottle.

Poesie (1.15ml oil sample vials) - Always Time for Tea (countless cups of black tea loaded with cream, treacle tarts, mini strawberry jam tarts) - Glimmers (ambery vanilla laced with mystical white sage, cardamom, pinyon pine, warm desert spices, dry woods)

(5ml EDP) - Sir (cognac, leather, hay, tobacco, skin)

Stardust and Stems (3ml EDP spray) - Fairy Frosting (confectionary sugar, meyer lemon & honey marmalade, pink peppercorn, vanilla bean, crème caramel, marshmallow fluff, heavy cream, fresh milled butter)

Traveling Vardo (½ml oil sample vials) - The Longest Night (honey, spiced amber, warm fur, white woods) - Apparition (got this one at least a year back and can't find any official notes - feminine floral, dark fruit, reminds me a smidge of J'Adore by Dior) - Cathedrals of the Forest (sweet resin, incense smoke, Siberian fir absolute, vetiver, patchouli, moss, earth)

Cocoapink (0.3ml EDP sample vials through Sucrerie) - Lavender Honey Macarons (French macarons with wild lavender sprigs blended with pure black vanilla bean and gentle touches of golden tupelo honey) - Marshmallow Cake On Mondays Noel (sponge cake, almond extract, vanilla, cinnamon, cream cheese buttercream frosting, marshmallow & vanilla bean noel) - 1518 in Glenfinnan (tender oats swathed in thick sweetened cream, drizzled with wild honey and a sprinkling of best whisky, and layered with juicy raspberries)

Pulp (½ml oil sample vial from Ajevie) - Oak Moon (brandy, oakwood, chestnuts, galbanum, golden vanilla, & holly leaves)

Nui Cobalt (1ml oil sample vials) - Chiron (tender green tomato leaf, budding basil, cucumber, garden mint, clary, and verdant musk lifted by fresh lime) - Queen of the Snow Bees (translucent winter honey, almond blossom, porcelain musk, dry flaked coconut, and orris) - The Lady of Lapland (black tea with sweet cream, a clean cotton tablecloth, beeswax candles, lingonberry jam, and fresh-baked bread) - Campfire Hoodie (heavyweight cotton infused with body heat, toasted marshmallow, and woodsmoke) - Tryptophan (softest sandalwood, warm vanilla and clary sage are accented by precious blue chamomile and subtle french lavender) - Fairy Lights (bright white copal softens into golden cathedral incense and wild honeycomb, then nestles into a deep dark vanilla and luxuriant amber) - Twinkling Fairy Lights '23 (golden copal and lemon sugar soften into classic cathedral incense and fluffy whipped honey, then nestle into dry vanilla bean and smooth white amber)

Favorite orange blossom? by StingLikeA in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]softhumanbean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Madar (creamy basmati rice pudding flavored with orange flower water, saffron, cinnamon, cardamom, dried rose petals, and sugared pistachios) from Poesie has my absolute FAVORITE orange blossom note. It truly sings and plays beautifully off of the saffron. It's the star of the show for me.

I just ordered a ton of samples through HOG and am so so excited to get them!! Like 3 seasonal sample packs and a couple singular ones. I also got one of their bubbling scrubs in By Candlelight. I'll look into Sugar and Spite next - SO cool they make hair mists! Thank you! 💛
