Update: Amber smells 5 stars desert bloom is unique and pleasant vanilla is not vanilla at all.
Update: desert bloom is a truly unique smell, 3.5 stars. Not my favorite, but perfectly serviceable. I would say it does have that cactus flower smell, but also maybe a bit of a bitter lime or lemongrass smell. I tried it alone and then paired it with OSEA products (lemongrass) and it went well together. I used a citrus bath gel first and then followed it with the Philosophy Lemon Custard and it tied altogether nicely. I would say it would pair nicely with any citrus (lemon, grapefruit, lime or margarita inspired smells). In that vein, it may pair with any fruity smells, but that would be entirely subjective.Update: the amber version smells wonderful, 5 stars. It has all the wonderful qualities of a good dry oil. It absorbs quickly and completely, especially on damp skin. The real beauty of this oil is its scented versatility. It smells beautiful on its own, but layers just as well with so many other scents without overwhelming the other scents or being overwhelmed itself. It just lends itself so well in so many ways. It would layer well with any warm smell; I use it with EOS vanilla cashmere, but could see it working with a light coconut, coffee, caramel, or cashmere scent as well. I would wear this smell year round, no matter the season…it’s just that addictive. I am so impressed with this smell and feel almost anyone else would be as well. Give it a go; you won’t regret it.Update: Hume reached out to me with a concern about my satisfaction with the product, and options to make it right. Good customer service is always appreciated, and they certainly provided it.This oil certainly didn’t deliver on the vanilla smell, but it didn’t deliver on any of the other descriptors for the oil either. I didn’t get vanilla or coffee…it was a strange, funky musky smell with an undertone of some vague mesquite-like floral (maybe cactus?). The oil was definitely dry and lightweight and had the potential to leave the skin soft and supple, but I couldn’t get past the weirdness of the scent. Can’t recommend.Ver másVer menos
