Review: Haus of Gloi - Beguiled (Summer 2015)

Review: Haus of Gloi - Beguiled (Summer 2015)


Description: Lemon Cake made with the tang of fresh buttermilk, raspberry coulis - an otherwise innocent cake corrupted by cardamom and deceptive pink peppercorns.

In the Bottle: Lemon cake

Wet: Lemon cake with raspberry

Drydown: Fresh lemon cake with raspberry, hint of pepper

Throw: Medium

Wear Time: 3 hours for a single application.

Verdict: Delicious. Gourmand without being sickening sweet. The tartness of the lemon and raspberry really make this a scent to pay attention to and balance against the sweetness of the cake note. The peppercorn drifted in and out offering a brief sharpness. To my dismay I never caught the cardamom. Really lovely scent with a good wear time and throw.

Haus of Gloi's sample vial is the standard stoppered 1 ml vial. It came clearly labeled with an easily readable font.
