Russian niche today:
Barefoot on the rainbow by VDOHNI - very green and fresh, even a little bubbly, even though there isn't anything that can give the carbonation effect. It's pleasant but has pretty poor longevity (as well as other three, unfortunately).
Mint moon by VDOHNI - similar to the previous one in its freshness, but much more specifically green, however I wouldn't say tea is especially prominent. (I hoped it would be.)
Russian soul by VDOHNI - this was surprisingly sweeter than I expected it to be - maybe because of the berries, but it's a pretty pleasant woody fragrance.
Your ambraskin by VDOHNI - the most long living one of the four, pretty sweet and a bit lactonic, not especially woody.
deScent by MAYME? - this is very pleasant and very light and I'd say it's another case of osmanthus actually giving apricot skins - nice and fluffy. It's difficult to describe it as a whole - at the start it even given me something almost salty? But it disappeared pretty fast. Anyway lovely, not very long living though.
game lover by MAYME? - this is sweet. I mean it both literally and figuratively - I don't really feel the currant here, mostly chocolate and cholocaty patchouli and a lot of powdery notes in the background. It's very nice and long living.
just berried by MAYME? - I know that this is a pun on "just married" but I always first think about "just buried"... This is a very realistic black currant bush - more the bush itself with all its prickliness - than the berries - it's almost not sweet at all. A wonderful thing.
smoky ice by MAYME? - very very soft and delicate tobacco - I almost didn't recognise it. A bit of labdanum of the same softness. I'd call this one sophisticated - something you'd potentially wear with a suit with a casual twist.
woud by MAYME? - wood - also very soft - with a few different powdery notes as support. Simple and pleasant. This whole test made me consider getting a MAYME? sample box - hey have a very nice one.
Cowboy Grass by DS&Durga - returned to this one and it was a pretty good decision considering the fact that I, in my regular fashion, decided to go walking in the rain, so the sightly sweet, slightly medicinal sage that is very bright and prominent here was very fitting. I also quite enjoy what's left on my hair even the next day.
