It feels good to review perfumes again. After far too many 18 hour days, eye-deep in grading, and a good portion of that spent hooked up to an IV, in the hospital, or on bed rest, I’m happy to try to regain some kind of normalcy. So, back to reviews!

Scent:
- ITI: The scent strikes me as somewhat medicinal, which I think stems from the lavender, chamomile, and marjoram. I’m also picking up something that has a faint bubblegum quality, and I’m not sure which note it is.
- Wet: Bubblegum, sandalwood, marjoram, oudh, cedar, chamomile, and lavender- still too medicinal and oddly sweet for me. I’m not too convinced that this is a keeper at all.
- Dry: I like this one better now that it has dried. It’s sweeter, but more palatable. The sandalwood is more distinct, the rosewood has appeared and warmed nicely on the skin, while the oudh and lavender have mellowed their medicinal tones and instead settled into something more calming.
Other Impressions: None.
