I totally see the comparisons to an electrical fire, but F Clare is tricky. It isn’t really that at all; it’s the way she did the pine resin scent. It really smells like a fresh cut pine tree. Its amazing. On top of that note, there’s a sweetness I can’t pinpoint but it makes me think of the hard icing on gingerbread. Those are the main 2 notes I get and a little bit of fire. It smells exactly like my childhood Christmases. A new favorite.
Electrical fire, one caused by gas and fire and burnt out lights
I like this a lot more than I expected I would. The combination of notes reminds me of root beer tea (something I reviewed last month did as well, but it is escaping me atm). The pine, smokey fire, sweet marshmallow, and motor oil-y notes are all distinguishable but they stay blended throughout most of the day (ie. It doesn’t morph much for me). Really really like this one.
Someone said that this smells like an electrical fire, and I think that’s spot-on. It is burning plastic with a little bit of gasoline and the tiniest bit of sweetness from the marshmallow.
