BURROW | WARM, SMOKEY, VETIVER

I'll start by saying you picked an excellent name for this scent, and it made me want to re-read the Hobbit! Whereas Sweet Grass evoked, for me, the presence of an animal nearby, Burrow brought me down on four legs diving headfirst for safety between thick, gnarled roots. It's deep conversations with friends and storytelling by the fire, and it should be mandatory that all flannel clothing smell like this! The vetiver is a touch too grassy for my skin chemistry, while the turmeric just below has an amplifying effect that carries the musky, damp hay and petrichor almost clear through to the finish. While I don't necessarily think I would wear this out, I want to douse my sheets and pillowcases and bury my face in it. As I'm sure many of us would say about our own, I do very much love my bed, and this makes me want to just settle in all nice and cozy for a long hibernation. I adore earthy scents like this for my tiny studio apartment to help me feel like I'm not in the city when I need to escape into my own mind. It piques the curiosity and imagination - pairs well with a hot cup of tea, a warm sweater, a rainy day, and a good book.

when I wear this, I feel like I am tucked inside a hot outdoor bath tub with water so hot, the steam is all I can breathe in as I look around at the overcast sky and pull deeper into my own warmth. this is so earthy clean and bubble bath coziness to me. Also reminds me of the thick headiness when you breathe while in a wooden sauna. I love this one for days when I want to be in my own solace, and want to feel into a earthy clean girl aesthetic.

This scent is something that I blind bought due to the name and notes. I felt like I could smell it before I had it, but when it arrived it far exceeded my imagination. It works in heat, it wears great in cold. It’s casual or dressy, social or hermit friendly, and is so comforting and soft. I can’t stop wearing it.

I was intrigued by its name, burrow, but now I relish its smell. This is hobbit land, the Shire, warmth, hearth, smell of fur and pelts, of warm ambers, of smoked sausages hanging from the cedar lintels. Everything is ok, you are secure, nourished, loved, surrounded by friendly mammals seeking your love. There is tajine almost ready on the stove, cut roots ready to be chewed and smelled. This is a very sensuel, superb and earthy fragrance. Wear it and a whiff will bring you back in the burrow, where things are warm, secure and welcoming.

While I think this fragrance is a very warm and comforting one, it unfortunately is not long lasting with my particular body chemistry.
Fin de Siecle is still my holy grail!
