Simple Wish

Simple Wish from WyldeIvy is a sheer and light scent.

It started out a sheer floral, then moved on to a light blackberry, with a little sweetness. Not too overwhelming. I could see this as a body mist or oil and having it smell really great since it is light.

Violet Fluff

Violet Fluff from WyldeIvy is a sugary sweet floral.

On first sniff I smelled sugar. With it on I smelled sugar, vanilla, and a light floral.

I think this is what those candied violets smell like.

I know I couldn't wear this all the time, maybe not too often. I'm not sure if it's too much sugar or too much floral for me, but something doesn't sit right with me.

Neroli Creme

Neroli Creme is from WyldeIvy. It's one of the selections Ashlee picked for me from my raffle samples.

I would describe this as a yummy scent.

Vanilla creme with a non citrus orange. Kind of like a creamsicle, but not sticky sweet.

There is also something beachy, summery, suntan lotion about this for me.

I really like this. It's a total surprise to me.

I'm going to rate it since it's my first one of this group, but I might change it as I progress through this batch.

WyldeIvy - Silken Body Oil - Bronzed

So I received my raffle samples from WyldeIvy earlier this week.
I also spent part of my $25 GC and got a small Silken Body Oil. I let Ashlee pick the scent for me, she sent me Bronzed, which I reviewed earlier this summer.

The Silken Body Oil is great!!
It is light, but really moisturizing.

Ashlee says in her Etsy shop description, one pump per leg or arm, I did one pump on each leg and used the residual on my arms, this was more than enough for me.

The body oil in Bronzed is a great summer scent. I feel scented but not too much. It's not as light as the body mist from the shop but still not too strong.

I'd love to try this in Ashlee's signature Monoi de Tahiti (or Monoi de Tiare) oil! Monoi Oil is an all natural oil scented by infusing Gardenia petals in the fresh coconut oil for several weeks.

Sweet Anthem - Peter

Ah, the last one of the Sweet Anthem batch.

Peter is a very masculine fragrance with a dirty leather scent, super strong and kind of medicinal.

So not liking this. Actually can't wait to get it off me.

Sweet Anthem - Helga

So Helga is my favorite of this collection.

It smells sweet with a woody, fruity mix, the fruit is pomegranate. I also smell a little musky incense.
I'm thinking I'd like a little more of this at some point.
Would definitely wear again.

Wylde Cocoa

From my original WyldeIvy purchase Wylde Cocoa.

Wylde Cocoa is a smoky chocolate with a coordinating patchouli blend.

I really like this scent, not a sticky sweet chocolate fragrance, it's adult. For me not as great as Wylde Vanilla, but still really great.

Sweet Anthem - Holga

Holga is a limited edition from Sweet Anthem.

I smelled a sharp woody scent to start. Then on to the fruit of cranberry. The scent ends up being pretty light, didn't last all day.

The fruit is nice, not a favorite for me.

Coming soon....

More WyldeIvy!

As part of the WyldeIvy birthday bash, Ashlee had a raffle and I was lucky enough to win two prizes.
One was a set of 10 samples and the other was a $25 GC to the shop.
So as soon as I decide what I'm getting I'll be reviewing the samples.

Sweet Anthem - Erin

I had such high hopes for Erin, she started out so nice.

With a tang of tea, citrusy notes of lemon or lime, and a slight sweet or candied touch. But the end not so good for me, kind of musty

Sweet Anthem - Anton

Anton is a spicy masculine scent. I'm smelling cloves, maybe, leather.
I'm not loving this scent, but I never really like the spicy 'old spice' scents. I've gotten a few of them and it's always the same for me, just not my thing.
The scent combo from Sweet Anthem is, apple, horseradish, black pepper, opium, teak, orchid, and saffron; not in that order.

Sweet Anthem - Sophie

Sophie is a really nice scent. It smells citrusy like grapefruit, clean, a little creamy.
Maybe what Sophie from MammaMia would smell like??
Sometimes I wish Meredith from Sweet Anthem would make it easier to describe her scents. I think I've said this before, her blends are very complex and well mixed so alot of times you just get a feeling from the fragrance or the end result is a scent from the commingled notes.

Sweet Anthem - Kathleen

On paper Kathleen should be a scent I really like, but in reality it's just ok.

The mixture from the Sweet Anthem site is , kumquat, lavender, petit grain, sandalwood, spearmint, and ylang ylang

I don't usually go to check the scents until after I form an idea in my head about what is in the fragrance I'm trying. But today I couldn't get any idea of what was in this. When I choose my samples I read the descriptions and then put them out of my mind.
So what I smell is woody lavender. Ylang ylang is a great scent probably the reason I chose this sample, but I'm not smelling any of it.

Sweet Anthem - Catherine

Another sophisticated scent from Sweet Anthem.

Catherine is light, with a little fruit, a little wood, and little floral. When I first put it on I think I actually smelled a musty note, haha.

Totally wearable, nothing too strong or over powering.

Sweet Anthem - Miho

Miho, from Sweet Anthem is a sweet, light and feminine fragrance.

I smell orange, light musk, powdery, and something a little woodsy.

All in all a really nice complex scent, as you would expect from Meredith.

WyldeIvy - Silken Body Mist

I used WyldeIvy's Silken Body Mist today for the first time, and I have to say it's really nice.

I'd actually like to try it chilled at the beach some time.

The scent is light, but enough that you feel like you are wearing something. Great for a body mist, you can mist yourself with out feeling like your wearing a ton of scent.

The scent I tried the mist in is Sandcastles, which is a great beach scent. I also have the mist in Modern Zen which I'm looking forward to trying, since Modern Zen is a great scent with ginger in it.

WyldeIvy also has a body oil mist that I think I will try the next time I order.

WyldeIvy - It's My Party, Bad Girl

So I got my WyldeIvy order yesterday, I'm only going to be reviewing the two birthday scents, if you want to call what I do reviewing.

So today is It's My Party, Bad Girl.

This scent is great!

I smell smoky chocolate, a juicy fruit, sugary cake, maybe a little musk.

It reminds me of something I've smelled before, someplace

Sweet Anthem - Beatrice

Today I tested Sweet Anthem Beatrice in a perfume solid.

I have to say I really like this scent.

It's a little incense, powder, musk, and vanilla on me.. I keep finding that as I try Sweet Anthem more and more Meredith's scents are very grown up and complex.

This is the first solid perfume I've tried and I like it, I was vexed at how to apply it, with out having my finger tips smell of it all day, so I tried a cotton swab, which worked well.
