* Purchased by me.
One of the things that got me into Etsy was Fragrance, and Theme fragrance was one of the companies I stalked for ideas. I loved the clean lines and easy descriptions on their site. Jump to over two year later, I finally bought a few samples. I can't tell you how excited I was to get these babies.
|
Yay, for cute packaging! |
I got four little samples in some adorable packaging.
How cute are these? The answer: freaking adorable.
Each sample came with a roller ball for easy application. It makes wearing these even easier.
First up is Mantra:
Theme describes
Mantra as a
beautiful wearable musk with spring florals, resins and honey. If you have turned away from musk type fragrances before this is a sensuous, delicate blend-its girly in a great way. It's also described as being the smell of warm skin. My impression is that it's a cross between honey a baby powder at the start, and it dries down to a soft sweet musky smell. It's the smell of skin but better.
Sarong:
Theme describes
Sarong as a
dreamy vanilla tropical. Best Summer smelling fragrance. Luscious creme de coconut, white vanilla sand, and night blooming flowers. I do love this smell, very tropical and sensual. At first sniff I get strong coconut and vanilla notes, and as it dries down the vanilla deepens and there are subtle floral notes. I really hate going to beaches, but this smell makes me feel like I'm there without the headache and sunburn.
Seashell:
Theme describes
Seashell as a
Pink Grapefruit and other citrus notes with lovely exotic ylang. When I wore it there was a definite pink grapefruit smell with a clean soapy note. It dried down to a soft floral. It was very pleasant, but not very memorable. I love the smell of grapefruit and floral, but this seemed a little too soft. I think paired with Sarong it would be stellar.
Lastly Frolic:
Theme describes
Frolic as the perfect honeysuckle jasmine perfume. I loved this perfume from first sniff, but when I put it on my skin the scent changed. There are a few smells that don't react well with my skin one of those is neroli, and there's a touch of neroli in Frolic. So, my review will not be from me wearing it, but from the sample it's self (if that made any sense.) It's a very sweet and floral perfume. Right away I got jasmine and the honeysuckle wasn't far behind.
Overall, I love these little guys and I can't wait to try more. I hope I did alright at doing my first perfume review.
