For Strange Women

I'm always looking for a good perfume.  I've tried so many, and some of my old favourites are over used...I can smell Chanel and Stella McCartney everywhere I go.  I want the perfume I wear to be as the set on which my life is performed.  A scented accessory to round off the me I want to portray.  For Strange Women is a lovely shop on Etsy, full of handmade perfume oils and solid perfume lockets.  The photographs on the site are beautiful and haunting, evoking times gone by.  I wasn't sure which of the delectable scents to try first, they all looked inviting, so I ordered three samples:  London Fog, Moss & Ivy, and November in a deciduous forest.  


For Strange Women



The packaging was exquisite; three small vials in a gilded box, with information cards on each scent.  Included, as well, was a perfumed ribbon, coated in another scent--Amber.  I'm looking forward to trying them all. 












London Fog really did smell like a warm, delicious cup full of Earl Grey.  It's a lovely scent that can be worn year round.





Moss & Ivy smelled of walking through a forest, on a warm, wet spring day.  A perfect spring scent.





November smelled of autumn.  Of walking in a deep, dark, wet wood, in a late autumn afternoon.  It's like bringing my favourite bits of autumn into my wardrobe.  I love it!



Vegan and made with all natural ingredients, these perfumes will be my new go to scents.

  2. Swoon, swoon, and swoon again!!! Lovely review post! I have been daydreaming about trying out some of FSW's offerings for years now. I think I might have to tuck away some Christmas money, if I receive any this year, and splurge.

    Big hugs,

    1. Aww, thanks :) I really love their perfumes; I want to try them all! I'm the same as you, if I receive any Christmas money, I think I'll get some more. I think I could spend a small fortune; really want one of those perfume bottle necklaces. They're so lovely!

      Thank you for the reply! :)
