HerbGirl Report post Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) This is really very nice. I am looking forward to a full day's wear of this one sometime soon. Yes to all of the notes! To me, the 'chilly' is Snow White, not the minty or evergreen versions of chilly, if that matters. The vanilla, cacao and labdanum are strongest but this is very well done and I was able to smell all of the notes. It's almost too busy? But I really enjoy it. Eta: similar to Velvet Snow but different enough to enjoy having bottles of both. Edited December 20, 2023 by HerbGirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deepquietvoice Report post Posted January 17 I was expecting this to be somewhat foody, but instead it's much more classically perfumey. Light, with an almost floral quality to the resins. The cacao, which often dominates scents, is pretty restrained - ditto the vanilla - though in cacao's case that may just be my sample, since it's the sludgy kind of cacao here.

RoseThornAndOak Report post Posted April 11 (edited) Wow this is nice! Totally agree. Sweet Snow White snow, with dry sludgy cacao and vanilla. If you shake the bottle, more of the cacao vanilla resiny goodness comes out. Without a shake before application, I get more Snow White with just a bit of murky resins. My mind goes to snowy streets in Victorian England, like a scene in The Little Princess, but if they were the prettied up, wearable version. This also smells ancient, yet in a very soft and beautiful way. The frankincense and myrrh don't go weird on me. It's not a lemony frankincense, or too dark. There's an everso slight medicinal edge, but it is smooth and just sort of brightens yet darkens the scent at once. It reminds me a bit of Frostbitten SO and Frostbitten Lust which both are mostly sweet + musky resins on me, but this is behaving on my skin much better. Basically Snow White with dark cacao/vanilla and some resins/incense (not smoky). Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. I always lookout for SW variants and this might be one of my favorite Yules.
