VANITAS | Eau de Parfum - yesterday's fruit under flickering candlelight

Unique Fruitiness

I mean unique in a good way! As someone with no perfume vocabulary, it starts off with a very sweet fruitiness, but more warm instead of bright. I think "jammy" would probably be appropriate. If I had to guess at prominent fruits: grape and apricot? Dries down to something warmer with a bit of spice and waxiness (appropriate to the namesake and notes paragraph, I suppose). Cozy but atypical. Definitely feels like something I'd reach for mid-winter. Quite extroverted in that I normally wear things that sit close to the skin and could be mistaken for byproducts of existing (greens like tomato leaf, woods, leathers) rather than anything intentionally perfumey. I did, however, end up with a bit sprayed on my sleeve and had my nose attached to it for half the day like an overgrown hairless beagle, so it does smell delightful and I absolutely will be wearing it quite often.

Smells like a poets desk

It has depth, nuance, and feels like a memory of a place you think you've been because you've seen it in a painting. And, uh, it smells really good.

Great on skin

Smells so nice, I drank a natural orange wine while wearing this and the notes all paired together perfectly. Sweet and a little funky, but still very wearable. Honestly matches the description perfectly.
