Today, I tried Sorce’s A Bump in the Night! This is from their special order catalogue and available in September. I got this a few months ago from Ajevie in oil format to try to see if I wanted a larger size when they opened their special catalogue window up. I smelled it and tried on a bit and didn’t really like it (so spoiler alert) and I just knew I didn’t want to get a larger size but also wanted to let it rest to see if it would change. I am interested in all the strawberry scents!

Notes: Roasted strawberries with mascarpone cream and golden honey, pecans, burning leaves 

In the bottle, I can smell the roasted strawberries, cream, and slight smokiness. On my skin, the mascarpone is absolutely the strongest here. The strawberries kind of blend in with the cream as well as some toastiness from some pecans. I love pecans so I feel like I could pick em out. This is mostly a really nice whipped cream smell. Not the canned kind, but a homemade, almost buttery one. When I put my nose up to my skin to smell deeper, I can really get the golden honey as well! There is also a slight smokiness I was detecting that was really different from like smoky incense or even straight woodsmoke. Now that I can see the notes, I can see that is the burning leaves. It is definitely not as other smokes which I appreciate as I don’t usually wear smoky scents. It feels natural in a way and there is an airy musk that, combined with the smoke, feels like cold night air. This one lasted strong all day and I got many whiffs of a vanilla homemade whipped cream throughout. This is a nice autumnal gourmand without any strong spices or candle type notes. Definitely a fun and unique fragrance from Sorce and seasonally appropriate for the fall.
