Howdy! I recently got 2 new perfumes and wanted to share my thoughts!! Peanut wanted to help as well 🐱 

Techno Priest - Treading Water (Absinthe, Rose Absolute, Violet Absolute, Church Incense, and Black Liquorice)

I am a HUGE Treading Water fan so I went all in with this scent, even though I can’t stand rose in perfumes. Upon first spray you really get smacked in the face with rose, absinthe, and some of that black liquorice. I’ll be honest I was so worried at this point, BUT that dry down is sort of magical. It starts off really soft with rose and violet … and almost reminds me of something clean(maybe like a floral fabric softener?), but that liquorice starts to rise up a bit mixing with that rose absolute. After about 30-40 minutes on my skin I really get the church incense with a hint of the other notes. I enjoy the dry down vs the initial scent. As with any TW scent i’ve tried, longevity is crazy long, especially on clothing. 7/10 

Bittersweet Sixteen - D.Grayi (Cornbread, Stewed plums, Buttermilk, Fruit jam, and Sun-dried Laundry) 

D.Grayi currently is offering a blind box perfume called perfume doodles. The packaging was crazy cool (the scents are on a little map!) and I found out they are actually themed over the newest Hunger Games book/movie. I was very lucky (in my opinion) to receive Bittersweet Sixteen. Straight up this scent needs to be part of their regular rotation. First spray is a sweet gourmand cornbread and I almost wish it stayed like that upon wear, but it really turns into a clean slightly gourmand scent. I get all the notes listed as it develops on my skin, but it dries down into that sun-dried laundry note with fig. It smells so warm and it’s super comforting. This is my first experience with this house and I am beyond impressed. I need 8 more bottles of this. Longevity is fantastic on this one as well. 11/10 

Thanks for reading ✨ I hope everyone is having a beautiful day 💖
