Day 913 – Melange’s Patchouli and Musk

Tags

beeswax, jojoba, melange, Musk, patchouli

Scent Name:   Patchouli and Musk

Manufacturer:  Melange – Amber palette

Scent Description and Notes: Patchouli, musk, beeswax, jojoba oil.

Perfume Oil Color: This is a solid perfume the color of beeswax.

Bottle Design and Artwork:  This is set up like an eye-shadow palette.

Scent:

• ITP: Spices and patchouli – yum.  This works really well together.  It’s earthy, somewhat resinous, and rich.
• Wet:  Lots of earthy, rich patchouli surrounded by spiced beeswax, amber, and musk.  Oh, this is good.  It’s earthy but also sensuous.
• Dry: Once dry, it’s much woodier, earthier, and less sweet.  It’s not bad; it’s actually a decent, not overtly dark patchouli scent, but something worth pursuing if you do like patchouli notes.

Other Impressions: None.

Day 912 – Melange’s Santal, Lily and Tonka

Tags

beeswax, jojoba oil, lily, melange, santal, Tonka

Scent Name:   Santal, Lily, and Tonka

Manufacturer:  Melange – Amber palette

Scent Description and Notes: Santal, lily, tonka, beeswax, jojoba oil.

Perfume Oil Color: This is a solid perfume the color of citronella wax.

Bottle Design and Artwork:  This is set up like an eye-shadow palette.

Scent:

• ITP: It still has a bit of the spiced note I’m smelling in the other solids, but it is much more floral from the lily and the tonka is also distinctly clear even directly from the palette itself.
• Wet:  This one is a soft combination of lily, beeswax, santal, and tonka that is feminine, reflective, and soothing.  I actually like this one as a stand alone.
• Dry:  After some time, the beeswax is the stronger base note, followed by the lily and the tonka.  It’s sweeter than before, which I’m actually more sad about than I expected as the scent was very well balanced when still fresh on my skin.

Other Impressions: None.

Day 911 – Melange’s Tobacco Leaf

Tags

beeswax, jojoba oil, melange, tobacco leaf

Scent Name:   Tobacco Leaf

Manufacturer:  Melange – Amber palette

Scent Description and Notes: Tobacco leaf, beeswax, jojoba oil.

Perfume Oil Color: This is a solid perfume the color of the lighter part of a peach.

Bottle Design and Artwork:  This is set up like an eye-shadow palette.

Scent:

• ITP: It’s a very sweet tobacco leaf, to the extent that I can identify the beeswax, but I also feel like there is a similar date or spiced palm note in there as well, just as in the previous review.
• Wet:On my skin, it’s like spiced fruit cake and tobacco leaf with a touch of beeswax. It’s certainly pleasant, but it reminds me of the holidays.
• Dry:  The spice quality of the perfume dies down some and lets the tobacco leaf shine, which is  sweet and full bodied.  Overall, this is a pleasant, long-lasting perfume.

Other Impressions: None.

Day 910 – Melange’s Amber, Palm, and Vanilla Orchid

Tags

Amber, melange, orchid, palm, vanilla

Scent Name:   Amber, Palm, and Vanilla Orchid

Manufacturer:  Melange – Amber palette

Scent Description and Notes: Vanilla, orchid, palm, amber.

Perfume Oil Color: This is a solid perfume the color of solid coconut oil. 

Bottle Design and Artwork:  This is set up like an eye-shadow palette.

Scent:

• ITP: I’m getting vanilla orchid and spiced plum with a touch of plum. It reminds me of a room spray.
• Wet: It is still very similar, although the spiced note is stronger, the vanilla leads as pervasive, and the orchid more gentle. It’s a nice scent.
• Dry:  It remains very similar to due its solid nature.  It’s a sweet, inoffensive sent that is very feminine and would serve great as any layer when combining scents.

Other Impressions: None.
