Flossing

Brand: Possets

Scent Description: A pretty, dear and yet spicy little blend. Flossing is named after the dainty stitching put on many corsets to keep the stays in place. A comforting blend of gingery peppery small vanilla and wood, Flossing is very cheery and is like being the Queen in a Sewing Bee! This is a marvelous everyday perfume which can lift your spirits immensely. Highly recommended as a first Posset for the persnickety or those who want to try Possets but are diffident about it. The icon is of some flossing I did on a corset recently. Characteristics: foody, vanilla, sensous, feminine, scent locket.

Released: Permanent Blends

  1. I don’t get any spicy notes in this from the bottle or on my skin. I would say this is a cousin to Possets Madame X without the lemon and champagne notes. A soft creamy waxy vanilla-musk like fragrance that wears close to my skin with fair lasting power. This won’t make it through the day on me. Or if it does, I’ve gone “nose blind” to it. I think this would be a good one for a teen dipping their foot into the perfume oil pool. Also a work friendly scent.

  2. This is really beautiful but hard to pinpoint. It’s definitely a warm vanilla, but I wouldn’t call it spicy at all. Someone described it once as a smell similar to an Oreo filling, which I can understand (but much less saccharine). I’d call it a vanilla “my skin but better” scent. It’s warm and a little sweet, but it’s not too much. I like it a lot and could easily see this one going in heavy rotation.

  3. This is so so beautiful and calming. I wear it as a sleep scent sometimes and any time I want to smell something calm but more on the gourmand spectrum. I don’t know why, but I swear I get lavender marshmallows from this.

  4. A very warm vanilla (very classically Possets vanilla), with some support from a faint woodiness. The ginger and pepper aren’t distinctive, but add a slight vivaciousness to the vanilla. Still, definitely primarily a warm vanilla blend, more gourmand than might be expected.
