Discovery Set Artisan Collection

what a perfect way to test out all the fragrances! i ended up loving 4 of them and went back & forth (depending on the day & mood) before deciding which full bottle to purchase. there were times when i was certain it would be white forest or never spring - both amazing scents - light, sparkling & youthful! i definitely plan to add each of those to my collection soon, but there was one sleeper frag that grew on me every time i put in on my skin: VIOLET SKY. it is the lover who earns your trust over time. the one you end up staying with forever. yet the one whose inner workings remain elusive. i will say it felt unfamiliar to me at first spray & i almost wrote it off. but there was something under the surface & seductive that kept me coming back for more. i don't even like tobacco or leather notes, so this was a huge surprise for me! september is another great fall scent & adds an element of groundedness when paired with violet sky; i absolutely love them together!

I love a well-priced discovery set, esp when it comes with a coupon discounting a full-sized bottle. I thought I would love White Forest, but it just didn’t last on me. It projects beautifully, for about 5 minutes. I thought I would love September, but I found it smelled strongly of gunpowder on me. I didn’t think I would enjoy Faluröd as much, but it dries to the most masculine-leaning classic smell. It smells like aftershave from the 1980s, but in the best way. I like it even better on my Norwegian spouse, who particularly likes that it’s named for the Norwegian Red paint color. My favorite surprised me, being Botanist. It’s fresh and crisp and not fruity or sweet. It smells vaguely masculine, but it’s subtle. It’s subtler than Faluröd. None have strong sillage, but both Faluröd and Botanist last for several hours, with Botanist around 3-4 hours with minimal-to-moderate projection, and Faluröd going 5-6 with moderate projection. absolutely recommend this disc set to anyone looking for masculine-leaning or masculine fragrance. you’re sure to find something you like.
