I’m so disappointed in Alkemia. I was expecting better, but they reeled me in with the fancy descriptions. Just a heads up, ANY of their perfumes that have incense notes, frankincense, or patchouli are going to smell like your typical head shop fragrances. If you don’t want to smell like a cheap head shop, don’t buy their incense perfumes.
Definitely an “old lady” perfume-y scent, which is not my thing. The roses are just too powdery for me. I didn’t get any vanilla at all and just a hint of the spices.
This was not one of my favorites. It smelled like dusty old potpourri to me, very old-lady-ish.
