Indie special ~ three quick fragrance reviews

Posted by Robin on 11 October 2012 46 Comments

the forest, with moss

Quick reviews of three fragrances: Sonoma Scent Studio Forest Walk, Ayala Moriel Treazon and The 7 Virtues Afghanistan Orange Blossom. The theme: indie fragrances I’ve added to my buy list.

Sonoma Scent Studio Forest Walk

I tried Forest Walk when it came out earlier this year, and I liked it right away but it didn’t match my summery mood so I set it aside. Then, of course, I lost it, and had to tear my office apart to find it again — raise your hand if your perfume samples are in desperate need of reorganization!

It’s brisk but deep, and as advertised, beautifully earthy, and it has a meditative quality that’s perfect for chilly fall evenings.

Make Perfume, Not War shirt

What is it: A 50 ml bottle of The 7 Virtues Middle East Peace, used for testing only (it is 99% full), plus a t shirt with “Make Perfume Not War” on the back and a rose petal peace sign on the front (see image here). It is a size L, but I usually wear a S or M and it looks like it would fit me fine.

How do I get it: For a chance to win, leave a comment on the website telling me that you live in the US. Also, please tell me about your favorite scent from The 7 Virtues, if you’ve smelled any of them. Otherwise, tell me about the last fragrance you tried and what you thought of it.
