Solstice Scents ~ Attic

Hey there! I don't have another Valentine scent today (You're welcome, miss Nadja! LOL!) I have something from the Solstice Scents autumn collection (specifically the Manor collection) that was released in fall 2012. I ordered Attic with Library in full sizes because I thought I'd like them the best out of the Manor collection. However, I enjoyed Library so much that Attic got overlooked by me, which is incredibly unfortunate because it is a beautiful scent! As always, let's take a peek at the official scent description from Solstice Scents. c:

ATTIC
Vanilla Accord, Western Red Cedar Heartwood EO, Osmanthus Attar, Sandalwood EO

NOT TO BE USED BY WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT OR NURSING.
Shake gently before each use. An aged cedar chest filled with fine fabrics, exquisite lace-overlay dresses, heirloom linens and crocheted tops, forgotten in the attic of the manor house. The scent of this cedar chest and the soft mustiness of stored linens with the beautiful, yet faded, perfume of the owner still detectable upon the fabric is captured in the Attic Perfume. A fine vanilla accord is paired with the most gorgeous red cedar heartwood EO, aged sandalwood EO and osmanthus attar. Attic starts out strong, with a burst of the cedar EO and vanilla accord but mellows into a sweet, woody, slightly musty and dusty fragrance that is exquisitely atmospheric. It shares some character with the Manor perfume and fans of Manor may enjoy Attic, especially if they like really gorgeous and true cedar essential oil. This cedar smells just like an aged piece of dried cedarwood and pairs wonderfully with the other notes on the dry down.

Cedarwood fans, you're in for a treat with this one! Upon initial application, the Cedarwood takes the center stage and sings. It's absolutely gorgeous! There's also a strong mustiness in the background, just as if you unearthed a beautiful chest in the attic that has been long forgotten. What I love about Solstice Scents perfumes (and I'm sure I've mentioned this before) is that they really have a story to tell, and they certainly tell it well. I smell a hint of the vanilla, but just ever so slightly. This perfume whispers about forgotten treasures in an abandoned attic, and smiles as the trinkets are finally unearthed by a curious soul. The scent dies down once it's dry, but it still smells like a dusty cedar chest in the attic. I wore this perfume to work not too long ago, and I enjoyed it throughout the day. I had to reapply it in the afternoon, but that's not a big deal to me because I will cater to a perfume that smells so nice! :D I'm really sad I overlooked this perfume for so long, because it's stunning, unique, and it deserves a huge amount of love!
