Wylde Ivy - Just a Kiss

WOW!! This one is a surprise for me, I love it!!

It's crisp and green, with a creamy undertone, and some floral. The blend is so nice that I can't pull out specific notes, it just smells good, really good.

It's light, fresh and...I'll just stop...I really like it, and going on and on won't do it justice, so here is the description from Ashlee.

Sweet, playful, warm, and sexy.
Chilled green apple, smooth vanilla musk, white amber, sandalwood, a hint of jasmine petals, and citrus peel.

Wylde Ivy - Island High Tea

Island High Tea description from the Wylde Ivy shop....Sun brewed red tea infused with fresh coconut and vanilla beans and a touch of sugar cubes and lemon.

So, I'm currently getting just the coconut and vanilla. I was expecting more tea. I'm not complaining I like the coconut vanilla, but I also really love the tea scents from Ashlee, so I was looking forward to another astringent tea with the addition of the coconut and vanilla.

Right now it's early in the day and in wearing this scent, we will see how it wears

After wearing all day Island High Tea has dried down to a nice vanilla.

Rating today
I'm giving Island High Tea this rating because I like the vanilla coconut, but I wish I could have smelled the tea stronger.

Wylde Ivy - Of A Citron Sea

I really thought Of a Citron Sea would be one of my favorites, but right now I'm finding it just ok.

It's really light, so light I think I'd have to reapply at some point. It does remind me of a lemony drink, not so much of the beach or sea, more like a lemonade.

After wearing for most of the day now, I really need to reapply, really light scent, so it would be great for a hot and steamy summer day. At one point earlier today it had dried down to a light floral. Not a tropical floral, more like a country house floral, like daisies or similar. I liked it best at that point.

Wylde Ivy - Black Sands Coconut

So I already have two summer coconut perfumes from Wylde Ivy, Wylde Summer and She Sells Seashells, and it looks like I'm going to be adding a third....Black Sands Coconut is great!

First sniff out of the tester vial, I smell a little lemon sugar, then it's gone. Straight on to the coconut, with a smoky twist, this does not smell like a beach drink. It smells dark and a little woody, like the beach after dark.

After wearing for most of the day, this has dried down to a warm vanilla coconut, so nice!

Wylde Ivy - Muse

So for those of you that loved Lemon Lollipop's Pink Vanilla, and are sad that Michelle closed up shop... Muse is your answer!

Muse smells SO yummy!!!

Vanilla, sugar, candy sweet, a little caramel, and sugared flowers, maybe. All I know is it smells great!

Can't say it enough great, great, great!!!

Wylde Ivy - She Walks Delicately

So, She Walks Delicately is a light floral, with green notes.

I smelled lily of the valley, violets, and other sheer florals that I can't determine. The lily and violets were the predominant notes. The green note, was fresh, maybe grassy.

Right now it has faded away, so I'd need to reapply.

The notes I smelled blended very well together and balanced out, for me. Since I'm not a huge fan of all out florals, I liked it, but I'm not in love with it.

If you're familiar with Ashlee's fragrances, I'd categorize this one with Simple Love and Simple Wish, since these are also fairly light scents.

I was at Whole Foods today and the cashier asked me what I was wearing for perfume though, so it did carry some punch when first on, since I only applied it to my wrist and elbow pulse points.

Rating for today

Here is the description from Wylde Ivy - Delicate and demure, hauntingly feminine. Sweet and fresh without being cloying or heavy.
Notes of lotus blossom, bergamot, bamboo leaves, summer apples, jasmine, white amber, green musk, and sparkling narcissus

So, I converted the jasmine and narcissus to lily and violet. And the green musk or bamboo to grass.

Ah well, I never said my nose was perfect.

Wylde Ivy - Green Tea Sorbet

Green Tea Sorbet is zippy, green, and clean smelling. I thought I was going to have all this stuff to write about it, because I really do like it. I can see myself spritzing it on at the beach in a body mist, having chilled it in the cooler.

I think I definitely like Sun Tea better, but this scent is fantastic a great addition, going to add it to my list.
