Violette Market Diablo Canyon

Lori at Violette Market was wonderful to deal with. I was on the fence about which scents to purchase and she took the time to go back and forth with me a few times to narrow down my selection. Each of the bottles are wrapped in small different colored organza bags.

Fireflies
Lydia's golden fireflies glowing among raw agave sugar crystals, toasted marshmallow creme, and a pinch of golden amber dust.

I'm a little dissapointed in this oil. I was expecting a sugary vanilla marshmellow explosion and it smells like Pumpkin spiced. There's no question that to me (and a couple others) this smells exactly like Pumpkin both in the bottle and on all three of our wrists. For a pumpkin it's rather nice but I have many pumpkin oils and don't really need another.

Lydia's Firefly Lanterns
White peach, warmed sandalwood, golden amber, honey sugar, cedar wood, white autumn rose, blond vetiver, and sparkling pink and gold fairy dust.

Interesting. I'm not really sure what I'm smelling. Smells perfumey again. Not foody at all. Maybe it's the rose that Im not liking in this scent.

Letters on the Wind
Coconut water, cotton blossom, spiced rum, golden musk, raw Greek honey, bergamot peel, frankincense, and rose geranium.

This smells very perfumey to me. There's a note in here I know I don't like from past experiences but I can't put my finger on what it is. Maybe violet? Smells a bit like an old fashioned musty perfume to me.

Two Samples: 

Pumpkin Coach

A shimmering, glistening display of sugared pear, frankincense, golden quince, gardenia buds, raspberry roses, vanilla orchid, pink jasmine, and the magic dust sprinkled on one unsuspecting orange pumpkin.

Ooo I love this. An almost watery floral. I adore gardenia and I can smell this very well. This definitely goes on my list for a full bottle.

Grandmother
Warm hugs, and the comforts of home from oatmeal porridge, vanilla tea cakes, blueberry scones, creamed honey, and orange blossom marmalade.

Hmm.. I like this too. It smells creamy and comforting. I can smell the blueberry which makes me very happy and the bowl of oatmeal swirled with vanilla. I love this!! The marmalade seems tucked back in the first 10 minutes. I am so glad I have a bottle of this coming to me. I can see wearing this often.

The three bottles I ordered were strike-outs with me and I fell in love with the two samples I received. Especially Grandmother. Just my luck!
