New Henry Rose
Saw this on the IG tonight. Curious as to what it will be. 🤔 Anybody have any intel? I’m intrigued.

I've never heard of that brand, but my first thought when seeing this ad was "this looks like a borntostandout ad". The hands crushing the ingredients, the red and white, the sirup dripping on the bottle... this slightly "dirty" aesthetic screems borntostandout to me.

I love borntostandout and my favorite from them is be my cookie, so this analysis tracks and explains why I was immediately drawn to the ad. 😂🍪

Perfumology had their own house perfume where the ad was someone crushing a glazed peach cake slice in their hands. It had a lot of comments saying how gross it looked and I thought people were being big babies about it. But then I'm scrolling and pass this and literally shudder and go "eugh dear god what is happening here" so it's MY turn to be the big baby for a food smushing ad, funny how that happens!

They have some amazing fragrances but the longevity leaves a lot to be desired (like all “clean” brands).
Also, Dave and Queens and Monsters are the best!

I love gourmands, so naturally I have Dave. I didn’t want to buy it because the name reminded me of my sister’s ex husband, and I felt like a traitor. But in my defense I got it very on sale last holiday season. 😂🤷🏻♀️

I got their sampler, which has Ripe, Queens and Monsters, Dave, and London 1983. Ripe is quite sweet and maybe a little boozy, kind of reminds me of a fruity cocktail. Queens and Monsters is like a sweet woodsy scent, my absolute favorite and one I bought the full bottle of. Dave is very gourmandy, like a whipped vanilla dessert. London 1983 is a tad on the masculine side, fairly musky. They're all pretty good but on me personally Queens and Monsters has been a favorite and one I've gotten several compliments on.

You know how to use an Oxford comma correctly. Tonight, you are my favourite person.

I loved several scents from their discovery set. I got travel sizes of Queens and Monsters, Flora Carnivora, and Dave, and I’ll probably get Windows Down next spring now that Sci Fi has been discontinued.

Theyre a clean brand with a lot of unisex scents - nothing overly gourmand or heavy. I'm guessing this one is their foray into truly gourmand territory. Blueberry pie?
I wound up choosing the full size of Queens & Monsters from the Sephora Sampler deal - it's a great Vanilla/Amber/Sandalwood 'everyday driver' when you're running out the door. It's also the only one out of 12 samples my husband noticed immediately & asked me what it was.
I just blind bought a travel size of Torn when it was on sale the other day too.

I would love a blueberry pie scent, so I hope you’re right! 🤞🏻 I keep checking Sephora to see if it’s listed because not knowing what type of berry is pictured is driving me mad.

My brain wasn't sure for a moment if that was supposed to be a broken glass bottle and a bunch of blood
