It needs at least a year to rest to be really awesome.
It was just lala in 2017 when I got the sample pack; dryish, kinda strong tea note and the fig was very out of place.
After a year? It blended into a summer scent that I love. It’s a coconut (not artificial) which is darkened by the fig and the ginger and the tea grounds it very well. It is dark summer scent, yes, but it is so good. Plus: it does not attract any wasps which is a huge advantage in my opinion. 🙂
Milky/fruity coconut-ginger-fig-paper, one of my favorites!
Heavy on tea notes and dries down to ginger
To me it’s a veeery creamy coconut milk scent, sharpened with soft golden ginger, sweetened with the fig. I don’t smell the black tea outright, but I’m sure it helping to deepen the scent. It smells tropical, but also luxurious. Like taking a night swim in the liquid gold water of a warm black sand beach. Probably my closest thing to a signature scent!
Out of the bottle I get the fig and coconut milk, with a hint of spicy ginger. On my skin it starts off with a punch of black fig, ginger and coconut milk, coconut of which leaves my skin very quickly. With wear it sits close to the skin with a pleasant milk tea and fig scent.
I did not like this. The fig read like artificial cherries to me, and it was cloyingly sweet. Sadly, a destash.
