On me, this is delightfully yummy, fizzy, candied berries. Luckily, I presume it’s the oakmoss that keeps this from going cloying. I can’t say I get too much of the other notes, at least not in a way where any one note stands out more than the rest. This tends to be fairly linear and fades to a skin scent within a few hours. I don’t mind re-applying though, it’s a wonderful pick-me-up!

Goddess of Love opens with a rosy mixed floral composition that gives a vintage impression without being dated. It develops to a powdery, sharp strawberry and raspberry with oak moss. I liked the opening, but the development didn’t work for me.

Just as one reviewer mentioned, this is markedly similar to leutens arabie on me minus some of the extra spicy notes found in that. Goddess smells a little strange on me but is sticking to my skin well. Arabie is worth trying if you wished for Goddess to be amped up with spices.

Now this is a perfect oakmoss fragrance for me. I usually don’t like fruity scents, but I have a weak spot for some (Absolutely Blooming being another, strangely)
Strawberry and raspberry have been becoming two of my favourite fruit notes and this contains both, apparently. I get the strawberry, easily, but the raspberry I’m having a hard time detecting.
The oakmoss in this is very similar to the oakmoss in Doe In The Snow and, in turn, for me, similar to the oakmoss in 31 Rue Cambon by Chanel. There was something in this that actually reminded me very strongly of Miss Dior (vintage), and I can honestly say that I have no idea why.
It’s mossy, sweet, peachy and slightly resinous. This creates the perfect fruity chypre to me. Like many of Sarah’s scents, these really do smell of absolute quality. I’ve smelt some niche fragrances and many have fallen flat for me and none of the scents I’ve tried from 4160 have suffered similarly. This is the fullest of the full that I’ve tried.
A complete love for the vintage style modern beauty.

It is possible my sample is wrong or my nose, but after an initial nail polish scent I get , very briefly , strawberries ( like 30 seconds ) and then the scent changes into something nice and floral that develops into an extremely potent baby powder. I just need to wash it off, simply unbearable. Obviously a very different experience than the other reviewers.

I bought this as an extra sample on top of my 7-scent taster set from 4160 Tuesdays (as a perfume/extrait it wasn’t available as part of the set) for 8 GBP – a lot of money for a 2.25ml sample so I admit I had high expectations.
I’m wearing it now and to be perfectly honest I don’t smell any oakmoss (or any moss) but what I smell is a very noticeable ‘Lush base’ (that scent that underlies most Lush bath products and quite a few of their perfumes) plus a very specific fragrance that took me a while to recall but when I did it was obvious and clear: this smells exactly like the Sex Bomb bath ballistic. Fizzy, fruity, sexy, powdery and all that. What I am most strongly reminded of is the original Agent Provocateur frag.
Nice, if not quite my thing, but definitely not worth the money imo.

This dry fruity scent is unconventional for me. It is like a delicios candy for me. I didn t regrte purchasing it.

Chemistry plays so many tricks. On me, this isn’t a bright fruity scent; instead the fruits are dried and the scent is deepened by woodsy notes and heady resins.
I saw this compared to Forbidden Games (by Killian) and on me that one is a bright, tart punch of fresh fruit. There is no comparison between the two on my skin, although there should be based on the notes list. Still, I knew this smelled familiar. It took some time and a review of my niche samples, but it turns out that on me this smells strikingly similar to Arabie by Serge Lutens. Arabie is composed of dried fruits, resin, woods, and musk–exactly how my skin interprets this scent.
I like the scent, of this fragrance and Arabie. (Just my luck the dupe for this would also a pricey niche offering.) For me both are unisex and perfectly suited to the cooler seasons. I get too much of a smokey/woodsy/incense vibe for warm-weather wear.
Not the fizzy fruit punch I expected from the reviews, for me this is a deep earthy scent, all musk and wood, dates and myrrh. It’s more reminiscent of an ancient middle eastern marketplace than a modern fruity chypre.

Strawberries and citrus with oak, sparkling, and more sweet. It’s like a deliciois candied sweets but not the cloying type. After a little while it turns like strawberries with burning sesation essense as i can sense burnt woods beside the sour strawberries. Pleasant to be specific and quite good for strawberries lovers.

Ive taken a shine to chypres which has only happened because of Sarahs marvellous creations. She’s modernized them and brought them dancing into the 21st century. I do see some similarity with Tarts Knicker Draw but I think this is more of a chypre than TKD which borders on being an oriental. I like the fruity/citrus fragrance tamed by lots of oakmoss, some oppopanax and musk. You feel all grown up when you wear it. Its perfect for formal occasions. Moderate sillage and longevity.

To me this has a similar feel to Tarts Knicker Drawer. I quite liked it but wasn’t overly wowed. My daughter said it was okay but not really me!
If you haven’t smelled Tarts to make a comparison this smells a bit like floral gums sweets. I tend to burn off topnotes fast, which is why this maybe fell a bit flat after a short while.

A huge fruity chypre. It opens with a joyous fizzy sherbet whizz. It smells as if Sarah has torn up the IFRA regs and added a walloping dose of oakmoss – I’m sure she hasn’t but this is a full blooded chypre (which makes you realise that is still possible post-IFRA). Yvresse is one of my all time fragrances, but it has been so horribly thinned down in it’s current incarnation, and prohibitively expensive in the old champagne-style bottles – I am very happy to have found this to relieve my sorrow. This is like Yvresse’s younger sassier sister, drunk on strawberry 20/20 instead of peach bellini.
seeriscizzo – :
A fantastic chypre made in true vintage style. Wear with gloves and a suit and enjoy your inner sense of 50s glamour. This has it all and is impossibly feminine. There’s oakmoss, vintage musk, roses and peaches. I adored it.

This is quite a nice fruity scent, but it’s a little TOO close to By Kilian’s Forbidden Games (which I already own) for me to get a full bottle. Sarah’s creation is a bit more on the citrus/tart/sour side (I think due to the grapefruit and yuzu), whereas Kilian’s is richer and sweeter. Also, this one is definitely more chypre. All in all, it’s a lovely, full-bodied, woody fruit scent!
