Good afternoon! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day today. I am doing just fine. A bit too warm for my liking, but there isn't too much I can do about that besides sticking to my hermit ways, which many of us have done for the past year anyway...
Today I have a small indie house that I found on Etsy to bring to you. The Little Book Eater makes perfume oils inspired by TV shows, movies, novels, and fantasy characters. She even had stuff based on Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I purchased 4 from her store to try them out. I enjoy Game of Thrones, so I had to pick up this one when I saw the notes. Her shop is currently taking a break, but I believe that they were only $14 for 10ml of perfume oil.
I purchased all of these. I have no affiliation with The Little Book Eater and this article contains no affiliate links.
Now, without further ado, let's get the adventure started!
The Story
It's always cold here. An eternal winter with no reprise. The frigid air will chill you to the bone. This is the only life I know. Wandering from place to place, just wanting to survive.
There is no warm hearth in this land. You can only take from the land what you are willing to work for. The frozen cairns will take your life in an instant if you don't respect them. The giant taigas are no different.
One day, the wall will come down and we will have what is rightfully ours. The dead rise and with them comes our demise if we do not push south.
The Notes
Winter Air
Juniper
Birch
Moss
Red Cedar
Patchouli
Musk
The Scent
Wildling starts off with some mildly balsamic juniper needles and a cold ozonic feel, which I interpret as the winter air note. It goes on to show a slight inkling of smoke layered upon various hardwood trees with a tiny bit of some green notes in the background.
The effect that you get from this fragrance is a winter forest with a frigid, yet gentle breeze bringing the beauty of the forest to your senses.
This fragrance isn't super complex and doesn't evolve very much on your skin. In the final dry down, you get more of the balsamic feeling mixed with the air, with the woods and smoke in the background.
My Opinion
This fragrance didn't blow me away, but it's not bad either. There is a slight scented candle vibe to it. It doesn't have a waxy feel, but that might just be my own senses picking up a note that I recall from a candle in it.
It smells more like a fantasy forest, which makes sense given its inspiration. I didn't expect this to smell very realistic for the price. I wouldn't say it's cloyingly synthetic either.
It lasts around 6 hours on my skin, which is fine for the price. This is more of an atmospheric fragrance anyway.
For $14, I would say this is an interesting buy for a Game of Thrones fan. It's cheap and it smells good. It's just not super impressive, but it is creative in its own way. It does what it set out to do and you can't complain about that.
Conclusion
I will review some others from this house at a later time. I hope you enjoyed this review.
Remember to say something kind to someone today. You never know how much it could help them in their personal life. It's free to be kind. Use it as often as you can.
Thank you for the support. Be safe and blessed!
