Small Comforts - Perfume

The most lovely, sweet, jammy spiced tea. I totally disagree with people saying it is masculine leaning, yes the spices are punchy but as it dries down, it softens and is so lovelyyy

Smells Like Home

I am completely new to fragrance so take my review with a grain of salt. This scent reminds me of going to the Buddhist temple as a kid. I get more of an incense scent (prolly the white musk/spices) than Thai tea (I was missing the sweetness of condensed milk). I did a trial run with it at my local flea market and it definitely is a good hot summer day scent. It got sweeter throughout the evening and when I got home I was hit with sweetness for some reason (def a combination of my sweat and lotion). It is very reminiscent of my childhood with aunties wearing sweet perfume and brewing tea while listening in on the uncles mahjong game in the backyard. It's jarring how familiar this is to me, so I don't really reach for it, but if you want to know what a total stranger's childhood was like get Small Comforts.

Hot spiced chai

A masculine-leaning take on a tea scent, with fresh, bracing spices that would be right at home in the middle of winter. A cup of hot spiced chai in a log cabin on a snowy day. A scent you would wear to go out and chop wood for a log fire, and then stay in with your significant other beside that fire under a warm, fuzzy blanket. I could see this selling well as an incense blend. Unfortunately the dry down is somewhat powdery on me, which I’ve found can happen with black tea scents. On my wife the dry down was sweeter. I would love my house to smell like this but I don’t think I want to smell like this.
