brigid"You're In A Cult, Call Your Dad": "Flannel, Sedona trees, bergamot tea, snickerdoodle cookies."
No.
No, absolutely not.
NO.
This scent is a resounding no.
This isn't an "ehhh, not really my thing" scent, it's a NO scent.
I was really excited for this because I've been actively looking for a bergamot scent and I enjoy the smell of bergamot tea. (One of my favorite scents is a beard wash that Nesko has that's bergamot, grapefruit, and black pepper.) I was wary of the "snickerdoodle cookies" part because cookie-related things can be SO sweet smelling. I have no experience with "flannel" or "sedona trees" as scents so I'm not sure if either of those are specifically to blame.
I've washed my arm three times and the scent lingers. I'll give these perfume oils that - they are tenacious.
This has a warm smell, but suffocating warmth instead of a rich full bodied warmth like "amber." There's kind of a toasty smell... not like toast. Not like char. But it makes me think "toasty" or "toasted," something that's been near fire. It's a VERY familiar smell and it took me about an hour but it smells a bit like female gingko biloba trees maybe? Or one of the other trees that emits a smell that's more funky than it is floral or green.
Ugh, this scent is oppressing me. Depending on how long ago Nesko ordered it I might be able to return it. But even if I can't these were only like $8 each.
I want to go someplace and spend a few hours sniffing individual scents and taking notes about them. That'd be really cool.
Update:
I used some rubbing alcohol to wash this off. It's still very slightly present but not much at all. I think some rubbed onto my laptop. Scents tend to... I don't know if they linger in my nose or I just smell certain things and keep remembering having smelled them. So the faint presence might be that, too. I'm not sure.
Anyway, on to the next scent.
