Brand: Solstice Scents
Scent Description:
High above the village, a castle sits shrouded in a heavy gray mist. Muted moonlight illuminates its upper terraces. Thick with incense smoke, the loggia swells with invited guests, each heavily cloaked and masked. Laughter, violas and a harpsichord fill the night. Wine flows from never-ending mahogany vats. Exotic spices drape the air in fragrant bouquets. A bell rings from the archway, and all in attendance fall silent as the master of the night creatures crosses the paving stones…
Loggia is a blend of rich mahogany wood, sweet amber, musk, dark incense, deep vanilla bean and spices. Fragrance oils combine with essential oils of sandalwood, cardamom, black pepper, cognac and allspice. All of these notes meld together to create a dark, rich polished wood with a cool creamy sweetness and pleasing spice medley.

This smells like sandalwood and a little bit like latex gloves, which I’m pretty sure is how my skin interprets cedar. There is an acrid, sour note that comes out after several hours and goes away.
I wanted so badly to like this, but it goes from smelling somewhat like pickles to smelling like rum-soaked moth balls on me. My skin and nose really do not agree with this, sadly.
This may sound weird, but it reminds of the way some houses smell that I’ve been to where the people are very well off and can afford really good expensive candles and fancy wooden furniture pieces and nice fabrics. It smells how I’ve always wanted my house to smell. This blend just smells really sophisticated, elegant, blue blooded. The combo of mahogany, amber, musk, sandalwood (dry), and a dry non-gourmand vanilla bean balances really well together, and the spice notes and cognac are not at all intense, they just add some warmth and depth that elevates this scent.
