scent of the day: alkemia aurora
notes: soft cashmeran, orris root, cardamon infused coconut milk, white amber, white musk, white violet, white ginger, lotus flower, and a touch of honeyed cream
description: aurora reminds me a little of glossier's moisturizing moon maskโ a thick, creamy cloud with a slightly spicy tinge around the perimeter. the mask smells more sterile and linear while aurora is thoughtfully layered with white musk and amber, adding a comforting, sweet warmth. as this cloud approaches, i first take in white ginger, cardamom, and fresh lotus flower. this green blend almost serves to cleanse the palate for what next follows, a dense base that whisks powder and musk into an enveloping fluffiness where violet & orris root dance in the background. this perfume smells like being wrapped in a cashmere robe, sipping warm honey ginger tea, as the luxurious moisturizer you applied settles into your skin.
