And if it's not too intrusive, I once saw your comment about suddenly being satisfied with food and interest in perfumes, this happened with me too after spending a lot of time thinking about Vishnu/Krishna and Lakshmi for about 3 or 4 yrs. I find it so surreal that some devotees have such similar experiences, specially the food thing. I have also noticed that once I started a little far from him, that appetite kind of returned maybe it's me being delusional idk.

Ikr!!!

But Jasmine Scents and Earthly was also kinda expected of Him?? Floral and earthy at the same time.

I think Lakshmi wud prefer lotusy and super floral scents.

I also have a feeling Narayan likes scents related to the Moon, or the Night.

Maybe milk?? Milky scents?? He resides in the Ocean of Milk? So He smells that daily? I am not sure.

Now that I am thinking, I am probably projecting because I like aquatic or fresh scents.

Yes, this sudden interest in perfumes was quite unexpected.

The satisfaction with food, it does exist, and also u suddenly begin to eat more healthier, and more satisfying ones.

A feeling of happily being full, rather than just being full.

But yeah, its nice to see devotees sharing similar behavior once u enter Shri and her Man's company.

Do tell me if u observe anything else, so that I can think about it!

I mean look at this. The packaging is gorgeous and reminds me of something in my grandmas house I'd intensely stare at but never ask about, because I was a strange and quiet child, but secretly smell later. And as much as I'd love to have this adorn my very own counter, this scent is discontinued. Unfortunately I have a hyperfixation-like mindstate with certain scents, I scour the internet until I can get my hands on a sample. I've had it with this one, and I did.

Website Text: "If you go down to the woods today... a fragrant carpet of bluebells awaits. Breathe deep. Citrus, hyacinth, clove. An eau de toilette reminiscent of childhood escapades in the fresh, dewy spring."

My Notes: I've stumbled upon this in search of a hyacinth scent. And it does provide that very distinct note of spring I long for, but it's also much more than that. It reminds me of and old lady's perfume bottles and lotions - fresh, clean, powdery, floral. It really opens up on you with an explosion of flowers you cant discern, your brain just tells you laundry perfume and fresh sheets. They eventually settle, become more sophisticated and grown. The citrus and clove are not upfront, they help pull the whole thing back into a more calm direction as it dries down. The general theme is keeps going on though! Unfortunately it doesn't last very long, at least on my skin, which can be excused by it being an eau de toilette.

Okay, so I'll be completely honest. I have no idea if this perfume is a dupe or if this is just a random fragrance house, either way it smells really good. Can't get exact notes on this, though given the package, it's a floral coconut scent.

Update! (7.3.26): So this is a dupe for Coconut Sun from The 7 Virtues

Right off the bat, it's a very beachy scent. it's something that'd mix good well with sunscreen. When you first spray it you get a punch of coconut right to the schnoz, though the atomizer was a bit shit ngl... but as it dried down it takes you into that magnolia, a bit of sea salt as well.

Something I learned very fast however is you really gotta be light with it. Could have been from the heat (it was like 95 degrees AND humid, eugh) but my usual heavy handedness made a very oppressive cloud around me, and I had only put on 10 sprays max! (though that is definitely a lot but i digress)

Price wise, it shouldn't cost you more than 50 USD, I got mine at Marshall's for $17. However looking around online, others price it at around as low as $30 to $60 for 100mL which is a good deal imo...

Some scents I'd pair it with:

Salt Water Vanilla - Saltair

Island Vanilla - Pacifica

Wakiki Beach Coconut - Bath and Body Works

Coastal Vanilla - Bath and Body Works

FINAL RATING: 8.5/10

It's a miniso one, it's really sweet and flowery. I love it. I'm not normally a big perfume fan, but this one just hits different.
