Gorseland

Gifted to my sister and she loved it.

Got this gifted for my birthday, and was craving a fragance that was nostalgic to me - this smells like my mom's make-up bag in the 90's

Sunshine takes your face and kisses your cheek with lionlike confidence. Warm in the sun, cold in the wind. Dry resin, like a dusty bale of lavender and sweet grasses, slicking your fingers and also your heart, but without even a lick of tackiness, and with a window open in the other room. Call me Marilyn but give me more than 2 drops, please, and I'd sleep in this for weeks. No French lessons required. No time limits. Only leave your 5 star bed for an expensive dinner date, but you can afford it. Balanced and regal, but understatedly sexy in it's confidence. The secret foolishness of a king.

In my fragrance journey I have smelled hundreds of fragrances from several dozen perfumers in the last several months. Gorseland and Paradisi are some of the most uniquely beautiful fragrances I have found. They smell like gardens that live in the same general area: Paradisi's soil has just been watered and its fruits aren't ripe yet, so it’s loamy and more vegetal… Gorseland's soil hasn't been watered today but its fruits are juicy and begging to be eaten. I know pineapple is supposedly a note here, but for me it’s some other delicious, mysteriously addictive fruit I’ve never had before. They are both very visual, colorful scents for me, very invigorating and refreshing and full of life. After going through all Jorum’s discovery sets, I can honestly say every last one is fascinating. Really original. Works of art. Gorseland and Paradisi are the big standouts for me, but there are actually 4 or 5 more that I would consider full bottle worthy--I honestly can't say that about any other perfume house.

I am very satisfied And enchanted by the Gorseland fragrance. Thank you.
