Solstice Scents Autumn Part 1

Autumn scents are not my forte. I love light white florals and creamy pale scents, while fall is full of heavy spices and warm super foody scents. However I was intrigued by Solstice Scents Bloody Bathory, so I decided to buy it (even though at this point I don't have a bathtub to soak in...), and as my free sample decided to pick up the one scent that sounded interesting from the Fall release, Blackburns Farmstead.

Solstice Scents always does an amazing job at the packaging, and I wish I thought about taking a picture, but I'm always so excited to get to my goodies, that the last thing on my mind is taking a picture of the packaging. There are tons of pictures out there though that show the beautiful boxes that have been arriving.

Blackburn Farmstead: Blackberry Jam, Boysenberry Preserves, Vanilla Bean Accord, Creamy Vanilla & a Touch of Vanilla Musk This one sounded delicious, as I love berries, but out of the vial it smells very artificial, and more grape than blackberries or boysenberries. On the skin, the artificial skittles smell remains, so unfortunately this will be a "to trade" sample.

Bloody Bathory: A combination of Essential Oils of Pink Grapefruit, White Grapefruit, Palmarosa, Geranium Bourbon, Peru Balsam, Roman Chamomile, Rosewood and Jasmine with a few drops of Jasmine fragrance oil. Look at how pretty it looks!!! I love the rose petals on top! In the jar, the grapefruit notes are super strong, thats all I can smell, however as I have no bath at the second, I can't try it for real :( 

I did try it out in a small bowl (so I could see the red coloring too!), and the florals really come out, and smell very comforting and familiar. When you drop in the salt, the coloring does look like blood! I love this, and can't wait to take a real bath with it!

You can find everything on Solstice Scents, even though things sell out, they do restock their items even limited edition multiple times, so don't worry too much about missing out on items. 

Everything was purchased by me.
