SIRIUS

This scent is so addictive. Im a complete and total sucker for fig fragrances, and the additiona of chai and sandalwood sealed the deal for me. I blind bought a travel size of this along with the discovery set, and I have no regrets. Its beautifully blended. The spices make it warm and cozy without being suffocatingly sweet. Theres something a little edgy in it too, perfectly matching the black and white listing photo. It feels wearable year round, with the weather of each season bringing out different qualities. I’m honestly mad that it took me until now to try this house. I usually steer clear of sweet and gourmand leaning fragrances because they trigger my migraines and tend to feel teenagery, but all the scents I sampled from MdA have been absolutely beautiful and (personally) migraine-friendly.

I get the hype

This is very chic. I, unfortunately, am not. I want to be that girl that wears this and adores it and pulls it off. The one who can dress in white without fear of finding a grease spot or pen mark on herself at the end of the day. The one who lives in a spotless loft in some glamorous city and walks in Louboutins flawlessly. I can see the draw of this fragrance the same way I can understand why people love skiing and shopping at little boutique stores for expensive clothes… but I do not personally enjoy those things and this fragrance is not for me. I think many would adore it though, it is a beautiful perfume

I love a fig note, this is a soft ripe fig that opens with a little bit of crispness from the cardamom and pink pepper. It dries down into a velvety soft skin scent on my skin. Very versatile. Great longevity for me!
