So I came across this oil while in search of a unique "incensy and darkish " type of fragrance. I immediately knew I had to have it, so I placed my order. Upon exiting the site, I saw the notice at the top in regards to the wait time. My heart kinda sank bc I already couldn't wait, and now I might be waiting over a month. I then did what I always do in a situation like that. I started looking to see if anyone happened to be selling this beautiful oil, somewhere else. I looked on ebay, Amazon, poshmark, mercari, even Craigslist for God sakes. NO such luck. Just as I was about to give up, there it was. SurrenderToChance had a few different sizes available to purchase (mostly sample sizes )
I figured that was perfect as I did already have the larger size on order. When I received my STC order, I ripped open the package like a kid on Christmas morning. And my first whiff was everything I hoped for and maybe even more.
I have been using up the sample size, numerous times every day and literally just as i was finishing up the last few drops, I noticed that the bigger size was scheduled to be delivered that afternoon !!!
If that wasn't the best possible way for that whole situation to go down, I don't know of any way it could've been better!!!
I did notice subtle differences when comparing the STC sample vs the bigger size that came directly from the artist. Now that I've had a chance to really wear it the way I want, I'm thinking it's just because I had to limit the amount I put on each time, when I really wanted to just douse myself in it !!! It's really very different from anything I've ever smelled before, and I'm not new to "niche type fragrances" the artist did a fantastic job creating this. I'm blown away at how much I'm able to actually pick out certain notes when I usually struggle with that.
I'm definitely going to be trying other oils . Cathedral noir is up next for sure. I wish I had read over some of the descriptions before placing my order. I could've been enjoying TWO of these delightful scents right now !!!!! Hahahaha I'm totally OK and very grateful for even the one though. I can only imagine how difficult it is creating scents this complex, and then dealing with the bottling and labeling and shipping etc, with only one person !!!! So THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORK AND FOR SHIPPING IT WAY SOONER THAN I EXPECTED !!!!!
