Haus of Gloi Yule Collection 2013-Plotters Breakfast
What is wrong with you, you must be wondering, and how did you come up with the third review in 36 hours.
I'M TRYING TO FINISH ALL TEN BEFORE THIS FRIDAY, this is a non-judging area, don't judge my life choices.
Also, the answer is showers. Lots and lots of showers.
I keep hoping for a HoG perfume to sweep my nose off its feet. If it had feet. So far, no contenders yet, even as we near the midway point. IS IT THEM, OR IS IT ME? Are we doomed to play as lovers in a Shakespearean play? No? Well then, EVENTUALLY I'LL FIND MY PRINCE.*
Plotters breakfast is described as:
Oatey porridge, stove smoke, kindling wood, a hint of gunpowder and pinch of sweet pipe tobacco.
YuninBlack combined her order with mine, so that I could try out everything we agreed on getting before shipping her the ones she wanted to keep. This one was one I wasn't so hot about, but she liked the concept. So look forward to some of her thoughts in this collection! ...In January, because it'll be in her Chinese New Year's care package AHAHAHAH.**
In the vial, I kind of did a double take. I smelled smoke and burning wood, but also something that was almost rancid and sour? Definitely fermented, and saccharine.
"...W H A T," I said flatly.
I am very eloquent okay.
So I was like, okay, well. Let's test this one. So I did a swipe and.
I think Haus of Gloi perfumes and I simply just don't get along. THIS SADDENS ME GREATLY, because all of their other products are pretty gr8, not even gonna front. I'll be going through those other things sometime in December, as potential gifting ideas.
Wet on my skin, Plotters Breakfast is all smoke and wood and gunpowder. Some of the tobacco peeps through? I'm pretty sure that there was never any porridge in this.
Oh, but the beginning drydown is all sweet tobacco laced smoke, with burning wood and a sharp bite of gunpower. IT WAS SO GOOD TO ME. But then d i s a s t e r struck. Later in the drydown, something RIDICULOUSLY SWEET REARS ITS HEAD that reminds me of the wine/fermented berry juice double combo from glogg. How it accomplished that, I'm not sure but I'm drowning in a puddle of tears.
This is a great unisex scent if you like cabins in the woods and woodsmoke. If not for the way it swings between the perfect smoke and then something sickeningly sweet, I'd wear this when I'm staying indoors and curling up with my favorite mug and book. Oh well, OFF TO YUN IT GOES.
Plotters Breakfast, like always, is available in the two formats I have always listed for the previous ones.
*More like, eventually I'll topple the patriarchy, but that's. Not what you're here for.
**I still have her birthday present to send. IT'S JUST SITTING ALL TAPED UP IN MY ROOM, JUDGING ME IN ITS LITTLE CORNER.
