Sucreabeille: "Here's the Thing: Fuck Everyone"
One of my Christmas gifts was a small sampling of perfume from sucreabeille.com. Today I'm trying out Here's the Thing: Fuck Everyone and it's not really working on me.
The scent notes are "Bourbon, rich chocolate, dark amber, and a touch of dirt."
The amber is coming through IN SPADES. Just spade-fulls. Spades of amber tossed into my face. I haven't noticed any bourbon or chocolate. It's sweet, but not sugary. Maybe a little bit of honey? I'm able to detect a bit of dirt if I got my nose right up in the site I applied it (inner wrist) but I need to jam my nose against my skin. I can allllllmost smell petrichor, perhaps?
There really is no complexity to this on me. It's just HELLO YES AMBER, full and warm and round and taking up space that other scents could be in. It's not BAD, it just doesn't play well with my chemistry I think.
I'm going to work my way through the other vials and see what works better. When I come back to this I might find I like it after all.
Edited:
I had worn this under my watch, which has a plastic band, and that MUST have impacted the smell. I used to always wear scent on my left wrist, but habitual watch wearing is very recent so I hadn't considered it before applying it and putting my watch on yesterday morning.
I scrubbed my hands/wrists very well before eating dinner and noticed the smell was different... more chocolate notes. The smell is still present after sleeping all night, and after washing 2 loads of dishes by hand, although it's faded. I'd like to remove it entirely so I can try it again, or try a new one.
After time and a lot of hot soapy water the smell is primarily a soft, smooth chocolate and a very slight trace of earth. Not very dark chocolate - very dark chocolate can smell (and taste) like dirt and has some sharp jaggy notes that this doesn't have. The chocolate and the earth smell are different... not quite distinct, but melded together while still being separate if that makes sense.
I'm looking forward to trying this again, and will be sure to apply it to my RIGHT wrist, like I should have done initially.
