puntare tutto sulla semplificazione settoriale delle essenze, la cosa più complicata e non considerata. poche essenze ben miscelate, una fragranza balsamica/legnosa. una prevalenza abbastanza chiara del sandalo. complimenti

Very unusual — mysterious and heady without being heavy or overbearing. Not the sort of scent where people will smell you coming and be glad to see you going, but a nice cozy mood that lingers … like 5 o’clock tea at Belvoir Castle!

Anthropologie is constantly coming up with new limited edition perfume ventures with a variety of different, often obscure, houses. The series in which 5 O’CLOCK AT BELVOIR CASTLE figures includes a set of scents united by their tea note. They all come in adorable faux-book box packaging and look great lined up next to each other on a bookshelf. The boxes are very well-constructed and sturdy and even have magnet closures which make a nice noise as they snap shut. So how are the perfumes?
5’OCLOCK AT BELVOIR CASTLE is a slightly sweet tea scent with a dominant but faint jasmine note. That’s not a contradiction, because this is a light scent, despite its eau de parfum claim. The perfumes in this series show the perfumer’s name on the spine of the book-box cover, another nice touch, and a way of giving some credit where credit is due. Stephen Nilsen designed this perfume, and although it’s not earthshatteringly original, it smells good, for what it is.
Tea scents are generally not my favorites, but this perfume combines tea with jasmine in a pleasing way to produce a scent close to designer in composition–albeit quite a bit less sweet than many–but much more natural feeling and smelling than most. According to the box, the notes of this composition are:
top: zesty bergamot, dewy fresh notes
middle: narcotic jasmine, sultry red rose
bottom: sandalwood patchouli, moss, tonka bean
To my nose, the take-away is really tea + jasmine + tonka
I’m not going to lament the short-lived shelf-life of these Anthropologie limited editions, because they are perfectly in keeping with my newly adopted approach to perfume: here today, gone tomorrow! I’ve given up on reformulations, and I dislike flankers, so this sort of creation and approach is right up my alley.

As soon as I smelled this in the store, I was sold. It kinda of reminded me of Hollister perfume, but more sophisticated. You can really smell the patchouli and the bergamot! It’s pretty strong though. The first day, I put two sprays and I smelled it for about 4 hours. It was a tad strong. 1 spray is perfect for this. I was so glad to find this. Even the box is beautiful! <3 If i can, I am so buying this again.

I love this so much. It makes me feel like wearing a warm sweater at home during a windy autumn or winter night. It’s so warm and comforting. It’s pretty masculine, and I find that the scent doesn’t change much from the initial notes as time goes on, and it’s also long-lasting and strong, so don’t use much. But it’s great.

A lovely, rich, warm scent. A little smoky/ woodsy in a wonderful way, like the faintest hint woodsmoke on crisp morning air. One of those scents you put just a touch of on so that only you and those closest to you will smell it, although whenever I wear this out, I get rave reviews. Classy, but not what I would call a ‘light’ or ‘fresh’ scent. And although it’s a very different scent, I love it in the same way I love my favorite Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.

When I first smelled this perfume, it reminded me strongly of something from my childhood. I absolutely love this perfume. It’s a bit masculine with a lot of spice, but there is a strong presense of cherries with a dark sensuality. I’m not so good at describing perfumes, but this one is really worth having.
