stuff is cool

I recieved a fun package in the mail today. The fragrance minis I ordered from Demeter finally arrived. I ran out and bought four mini spray bottles at CVS because they came in splash bottles, and you can’t really control splashes. And you really want control with scents like these! I could only find 4 spray bottles and I needed 7. So, 3 scents won’t really be properly reviewed. And now, a review:

The Spray-Bottled Scents

Rain: So far is just smells like alcohol. It’s supposed to smell like the air just after it rains. I hope it eventually matures to that smell, because I love it.
Laundromat: Nice and clean and warm, just like clean laundry fresh out of the dryer, only better. Love it.
Birthday Cake: Dead on. Whoa. Smells like rich, creamy icing. Not sure how I would use this scent. But it’s accurate.
Holy water: I know, how can a Catholic girl purchase a fragrance called Holy Water and not feel guilty? But this smells like a nice, old church. Subtle, smooth, and yes, somehow holy. Very comforting. I love it.

Holy Water and Laundromat are scents I would wear daily and even spray on my pillow before bed.

The Still-Splash-Bottle Scents

Fireplace: Iffy. I really can’t tell. Without spritzing, it just smells strongly of alcohol with a hint of something else, maybe a fireplace-y smell, maybe not.
Paperback: This is one I am really curious about so I wish I had put it in the spray bottle instead of Rain. I can’t wait to really smell this one. It supposedly smells like paperback books.
Christmas tree: No need for a spray bottle to know that this one smells perfectly like a Christmas tree. Awesome. I will use this come The Season.

You know how I love nice and interesting fragrances!
