Some more reviews--Hrimfaxi and The Cat
Hrimfaxi
"Hrímfaxi is the horse of the Norse goddess, Nótt, who is associated with night. Soft and shadowy florals, coconut cream, and Earl Grey tea."
Lots of slightly herbal-smelling, lemony bergamot, but it comes across to me as surprisingly warm, rich, and creamy overall despite the citrus top note (due to the backing coconut cream, I guess, which isn't identifiable on my skin at first, but starts to make itself known as the Earl Grey dies down--I did a comparison on the other arm of a single-note Earl Grey perfume I have and they started out similar, but Hrimfaxi morphed to something quite different and softer as they dried down). The florals come out only after a while on the skin and only faintly to me. It's not a bright scent, more soft and comforting.
The Cat
"Vanillaed sandalwood, cream, espresso, soft fur against skin, cinnamon leaf and the gentle scent of a fireplace."
Ooh, I loved this one at first sniff! Lovely. Aromas of fresh coffee and cream at first, with just a slight cinnamon bite, drying down to creamy, close-to-skin, coffee-inflected vanilla sandalwood twining around the body. Everything is soft and well-blended, and the sandalwood keeps it from being a purely foody or too-sweet scent.
Celestial Glisten
"Crystalline white tea with pears and apples dusted with fairies’ spice."
This stuff is AWESOME. Smells soooo good, like apples and a little like pears, but these are musky, fragrant apples with some apple cider spice, not the intense, sharp, fake green-apple note you get in a lot of shampoos. My hair is usually well-behaved if I don't curl it, so I'm not sure how this goes as far as taming flyaways, but I'll have to try it out as a shine spray after curling my hair.
