Brand: The Strange South
Scent Description: Jasmine, vetiver, clary sage, damp soil, and coffin wood.
Quite floral and yet not indolic; this doesn’t strike me as jasmine, but that’s because jasmine usually sickens me. Herbaceously green without astringency. Earthy. A good graveyard scent, a sense of deep rot but in a romanticized way… Southern Gothic romance in a bottle. Develops an almost pale honey sweetness as it wears.
Oh gosh this is pretty. It’s very floral, and makes my Southern heart happy. I get mostly jasmine, with a hint of the clary sage to ground it. Lovely!
