Scent Description: Marshmallows drenched in rich honey and bee pollen with a hint of popcorn.
This smelled buttery and nondescript, which I guessed was some sort of dough. Popcorn makes much more sense! After 15 minutes or so, the pollen and honey come out. I don’t know how to describe it other than sweet, thin, and almost fruity. My blind guess was that it may have been some sort of fig or similar fruit. This doesn’t morph on me; it stays in the realm of buttery popcorn (that doesn’t smell quite like popcorn). It wore for at least nine hours.
Butter and honey, then slight marshmallow appears. The pollen sticks around for a while. This is a fun scent, especially if you like popcorn, but has an artificial feel that might not be for everyone.
This scent was an unexpected love. On me it is floral honey with an underlying vanilla sweetness from the marshmallow and the perfect little hint of popcorn.
This one stayed pretty consistent throughout the day, and smelled like a whack of bee pollen mixed into organic honey. I could also smell the hint of popcorn. It had good amount of throw. Unfortunately this one just wasn’t for me, but I will find it a good home.
I do not know what is up with this scent and my skin chemistry. I used the tiniest dab and it went pure baby powder and sweetness on me. Initially there was some popcorn but that only lasted about 5 minures. The longer I wore it the stronger the baby powder smell seemed to get and my partner noticed that as well. After about an hour I started to get a burning sensation so I washed it off. I am trying to pinpoint which note did not work with my skin because I do enjoy Arcana and know it is me and not the product.
