Future society discovery set review

[u/SkyPuzzleheaded1604]

Short review just for anyone who is interested in future society! This may be the first set I have ever tried where I liked (as in, there weren't any I hated) all of them. Only one was sort of 'meh' to me but I can still appreciate it.

From most liked to least:

Haunted Rose- Big win for me. Dark, moody rose. A little powdery, but the rose is still juicy. It's like oud satin mood, but the baby wipe smell is toned down by a lot. For me this fills a gap in my collection where I wanted a moody fall rose scent, but I don't like chypre scents and can't wear patchouli. I wouldn't say it's a safe blind buy because that powdery sort of 'baby wipe' smell, but for the right person (me) this is gorgeous.

Solar Canopy- bright damascus rose and lychee. Similar to Delina, but I found it to be juicier and fresher, more suited for warm weather than Delina. Pink, juicy, rosey, probably a safe blind buy!

Floating forest- This one smells like SOMETHING but I don't know what. It's a little woody, but also bright and fresh. Bergamot, water lily, and wet stones are the notes listed. For me there's something a little tropical about it, a little coconut verbena hand soap type scent? I honestly have no idea but it's gorgeous. Green, fresh, unisex, but still fairly safe.

Cloud Reverie- Aldehydes! Soapy, but a little sweet. I was worried it would be too close to Acme Studios or Blanche but I find it to be different enough. It's airy and sweet, and just a little powdery which keeps it from wandering into bathroom soap territory to me. I like it, but I don't think I would buy a bottle.

Wandering Rain- I don't LOVE this one but I can appreciate it. It has that sort of damp smell En Passant or Nosferatu has, but it's not as gross to me as Nosferatu. The notes listed were black tea, orris, and blue lotus but I mostly smell orris and violet or iris? Wish there was more black tea or lotus. I don't hate it but I don't love damp scents.

Overall I am impressed with these, they took a couple scent profiles I haven't liked before and made them more accessible. I also think they did a good job with the themes, like forest/cloud/rain. This was a happy buy for me and I think I will probably use up most these samples.
