I didn’t even order this, it came extra with the discovery set I purchased, so THANK YOU because I LOVE this scent. I typically dislike vanilla, usually too sweet or not very unique BUT this scent is more warm, and a bit spicy making it very unique. Just purchased a big bottle. AND it last a long time.
"Dirty Vanilla", layers well with the sweeter vanilla bean lotion I own
On last night’s August Full Moon, I spritzed on this perfume, Nepenthe. I had been feeling a little down and muddled all day long, wrapped up in emotion and tangled up by my mood.
A blast of marshmallow popped through, and the fantasy of roasting them over a campfire on a lovely summer night like this flooded my mind. Visions of caramel ribbons and spoonfuls of honey helping the medicine go down. Tahitian Vanilla Beans broken open and burned down into a resinous incense and the pulse of the scent emanating softly like a heartbeat or the warm purr of a cat napping nearby. Soft, airy cotton candy turning into wistful clouds to cover the bright light of the moon. And in a dark blanketed night sky, shimmering stars twinkling sweetly through with their light to contrast.
My mood completely uplifted, I had the strongest feeling that the fragrance itself was not unlike a gentle familiar, a soft animal presence that follows you everywhere you go, trimming the shadows around you with a compassionate glow.
Such a down to earth and multidimensional vanilla fragrance that exudes a soulfulness that feels quite companion like.
Very warm and comforting! This seller has very unique fragrances and I would love to try more!
the pepper hits first, hides the sweetness a little, but then opens up and the sweet and sharp play together very well., very pretty without being too sweet or perfumey. I bought a full size.
