Fruit Thieves

Bright, warm, and funky!

This was originally a blind buy for me when I snagged a travel size on sale directly from Paraphrase. I was looking for something really specific, so when I first tried this I wasn't totally in love. In fact, my first impression was that it was perhaps too sweet and too sexy!? But then, without thinking about it much, I kept returning over and over to this scent. It turns out, once I stopped comparing it to the IDEA of something... I find Fruit Thieves to be absolutely gorgeous! I quickly made it through my travel size and it became obvious that this was a full-bottle worthy fragrance. What I had first read as too sweet and sexy is actually more warmth than sugar - it isn't at all cloying and instead adds a comforting layer to an otherwise bright and photorealistic passionfruit note. And the green vine note sits so well in the blend - it might even be the note that makes it all work, because it lends this sort of funky/dank feeling to the mix, which makes it feel really unique. All together, the notes of this perfume leave you with something that is simultaneously fresh AND comforting, familiar AND weird. It works well in the day or the night! And, though I've only worn it so far during the warm summer months, I can absolutely imagine it being a slam dunk on cooler days too. A wonderful and dynamic fragrance!! Do check it out!
