Art Museum | Fragrance Oil

I was excited about using this fragrance oil for body butters and perfumes. But when I got the sample, it had more of a green, grassy, palm-like smell to it that was more predominant than the other notes. I was hoping for more of a waxy, powdery, and faintly sweet floral similar to Willow but I'll still use this and mix it with several other fragrance oils to get the scent I imagined.

I know that people seem to like this fragrance. To be fair, it works great in CP. BUT for me, it smells like Dragon's Blood. I detest that fragrance oil. I get that a lot of people adore Dragon's Blood. But it's not for me. I wanted to let my fellow Dragon's Blood haters know that this FO may not be for them. I get zero peony or floral notes.

I almost cried when I smelled this because it smelled like my grandmother’s house. I don’t know how to describe it - but her house smelled like woolite laundry detergent, antique linens, expensive Italian shoes, very faint Givenchy perfume, and a stolen cigarette when no one was looking. It smells like a Carnegie Library. Like an old institution that used to allow smoking but has been masked by years of floor wax. It smells like terrazzo floors and glass of cases of expensive antiques and old furniture polish. I’m adding it to my New Orleans candle collection since it reminds me of shopping the European antique stores on Royal St.

Wow this is a winner. Complex and amazing, unisex, unique and interesting.

Amazing Scent!!!
