Smell Bent’s Holiday Smellies

Smell Bent has a new line of fragrances for the holidays. They are only available for a limited time (gone by 1/1/10), so grab ‘em while you can.

I’ve mentioned before how much I love the fragrances available from Smell Bent.  They work well as unisex and  have unique note combinations and funny names -  a smile is the perfect compliment to a great fragrance.  I got some samples in the mail to try for review.  My daughter sat down with me and we went through them all. Our favorite, hands down, is the Elf Fullfilling.  We loved that it smelled like a cinnamon-flavored cookie. 

Here are my first impressions of each fragrance:

*2010 – Fresh air. Somehow it had this sort of fresh air essence to it, which fits perfectly with a name that signifies a new year, but it’s actually supposed to smell space-age-y.  If you get a chance to try it, let me know what your impression is.

Notes: New Spaceship Smell, Pressurized Cabin, Jet Fuel, Intergalactic Plants and Blossoms.

*Elf Fulfilling  – I wrote “cinnamon” and “shortbread.” It reminded Bay of those buttery-good shortbread cookies, when she first smelled it. The dry down is more spice than sweet though.

Notes: Cinnamon Sugar Cookies, Naughty Pipe Tobacco, Toy Shop Sawdust

*Gelty Pleasures – Brownies. The chocolate note is strong here and that is a good thing, as far as I’m concerned. It’s a deep, decadent chocolate, definitely not chocolate-light.

Notes: Spiced Amber, Rich Milk Chocolate

*Hippie Holidaze – Maple syrup. I have to admit that I am drawn to anything with “hippie” in the name, because that’s probably going to mean patchouli. I was not disappointed.

Notes: Tangerines, Maple Syrup, Aged Patchouli

*Pere Noel – Evergreen. This is a freshly cut Christmas tree in a bottle. Pungent at first, it mellows nicely.

Notes: Sweet Immortelle, Atlas Cedar, Balsam Fir, Pinõn sap
