Sarah S Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I put in an order with RE for a few things, including one of my favorite FOs, Havana Nights. If you're a fan of masculine or cologne type scents, this is so amazing, rich with spices and tobacco, a hint of patch and I swear I smell rum... So good! Anyway, I got the new Gilded Amber as a sample FO and it is wonderful! I love ambers, I must have at least a half dozen varieties, and this one is particularly nice, strong but not real heavy, a beautiful floralish top note that makes it seem airy and bright. I haven't put it in anything, hopefully it doesn't change. I can't decide if I want to soap it or wax it!! Decisions, decisions, lol. Also, because I can't resist a deal, I ordered a couple of the clearance FO's, the Cornucopias and Gourds and the Corriander Citrus. Curnucopia is very subtle, but really a lovely fall scent, and I've mixed it very successfully with some other more expensive scents to punch it up a bit. Very earthy and leafy but dry, if that makes sense. Reminds me of the corn fields this time of year in my area. The Corriander is very clean with a strong citrus top note, with a green heart and a very subtle musky dry down. Really nice. I think I'm going to make a kitchen soap & candle combo with that one. All in all, I was very pleased that I took a chance and ordered the big bottles of those. now I have to resist going back for a big bottle of that amber! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 @Sarah S You are so good at describing scents! I can't do that. Too bad we have complete opposite tastes in FO's. I got French Vanilla and Amber from Peak last year for my DIL. She likes it, but I don't. So no more amber for me. You must be young. I don't want anything with tobacco or patch either, although I do have a bottle of both. Your lovely description of Corriander does sound nice though. I bought some Peak's Cornucopia a few years back. I really liked it. Fruity and nutty but no spices. It didn't sell well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Thank you Gail, scent descriptions are tough when fragrance preferences can be so subjective! You made me laugh, I guess I am young from certain points of view, but my kids think I'm ancient, I'm sure! 😆 This Cornucopia doesn't have any fruity notes, and the spice is very faint. It's more leafy to my nose, with hints of fresh gourds, like the way a green pumpkin smells. We shall see if it's a good seller! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
