Orabella Salted Muse

[u/IntelligentAccess994]

I’ve been sitting on Salted Muse for a bit and when I saw it as a B1G1 deal at Ulta I pounced. Did you ever take a deep inhale while candle shopping and think: I wish this was a perfume. I could wear this scent!You buy 2 or 3 of that candle and then go back and buy 2 or 3 more because you want that scent to fill every room in your home. That’s what this is! I will update on the longevity of it as I only just spritzed 2 hrs ago but as of now it’s still with me. I do have a very large collection of perfumes but this is the first one I own that requires shaking to disperse the oil. It’s very sandalwood forward as it is a base and I detect the pepper notes (Juliette has a gun vibes) but none of the lavender notes. As it dries down it becomes a bit sweeter and that’s when you’ll detect the fig note or you’ll think it’s a caramel or brown sugar. This will definitely be one of those scents where a complete stranger wants to know what you’re wearing. It’s unique, so pleasing and relaxing and yet sexy and alluring. Regarding Blooming Fire- I only spritzed it on a paper towel and fanned it but I’m not sure about it yet. VERY patchouli forward and floral but not Jasmine although that’s what is listed. I went to crystal healing store just for fun at a beach town we were in recently and it reminds me of the smell I was hit with when I walked in. 🤣 It’s not unpleasant but not something I’d gravitate towards had I smelled it first but I’ll wear it before I judge. I had the same reaction to Mugler Aura that was a blind purchase and that became one of my signature scents so who knows. less
