Didessa

Love this! Bummed it's been discontinued. It's a wonderful fresh scent that reminds me of a rainforest mixed with a dewy meadow. It's grassy and definitely a spring fragrance.

I almost didn't leave a review because I want to gatekeep this fragrance. But what can i say... I have to support the girl bosses behind Scopoli based in Grasse/Dublin. This might be one of the most complex, bold, but comforting scents I have ever tried. I've seen reviews elsewhere that say no one note dominates and I agree... it's well blended and I'm sure it smells different on everyone, so you really just need to try it out. If I had to create some sort of abstract idea of what this smells like to me (apart from the notes), I'd say it's taking a deep breath somewhere deep in the blue ridge mountains surrounded by blooming mountain laurels after a rain. I'm assuming that's the combination of cedar and tuberose & fig with the earthiness of oud. It's not animalic in a chypre way but has a musk vibe in a way that is comforting like warm skin that's been freshly cleaned after cutting fruit/herbs in the kitchen if that makes sense. I'm a struggling student rn but will be saving up for a full bottle of this.
