This was a fantastic experience.
This was a fantastic experience. I was able to sample the wide range of moods and notes offered by Boy Smells for the first time. They succeed with their peppery scents, and I find that they truly succeed in their gender neutrality. I would happily buy 6/10 samples included for myself or for gifts.
My favorites were:
- Vanilla Era (Ordered; it is like a “matured” vanilla. The black pepper also persists and works so so well. One of the most seasonally-diverse to me as well. )
- Violet Ends (A little strong on the smoky accord, but dries down really nice, familiar, and rhubarb-y. )
- Citrush (Also ordered, perfect for summer, heavy on the pomelo even though I don’t mind it. It’s fruity but kinda classy and bright, and sexy. BoySmells, you should add just a bit more amyl accords to this).
Least favorites:
- Coco Cream (Fantastic top notes, but dries down and smells like PlayDoh to me. )
- Hinoki Fantome (Just not for me but good for apple/girly peeps. )
- Solar Drip (Would maybe purchase as a mist, but it is way to fruity and almost like Swedish Fish to me?)
