She-Bear

I popped She-Bear in my discovery flight as I noticed it has lots of good reviews - and I felt the need to say just how true they are!

She-Bear starts with a strong lemony note. It's not offputting or sour, but it is strong, so if you're not a fan of lemon and think the lemon blossom will be weaker, I'd advise against it. I found it lovely in combination with the underlying woody notes. It's just as potent on the skin as it is in the bottle, and as another reviewer said, it lasts all day. I put it in on the morning and went to bed still smelling it.

After the first few hours, She-Bear calms; the lemon notes leave, but they're replaced by this beautiful woody and peppery base. I can detect some of the rose in there, too, balancing the strength of the cedar, musk and pink pepper with a milder flowery note. It's not particularly noticeable unless you focus, but I think if it wasn't there, the base would be far too heavy.

It's not quite what I expected - I wasn't sure if I'd like it, as I'm unsure about amber and wood notes - but She-Bear has convinced me. If you have a space in your discovery flight I highly recommend picking this up. It's warm and unusual, and feels perfect for the colder seasons. Despite the name, I'd say this could work for anyone, not just women.

I adore everything about this scent except the strong lemon note on first application. Some citrus notes can just come through very powerfully on my skin, and unfortunately that was the case here. The rest of it was divine, after about half an hour for the lemon to soften. The snuggly, soft, sweet but not cloying musky tones sit close to your skin and make you smell like someone people would want to get very close to.

I’ve been wearing this perfume for only a week now and the amount of compliments I’ve received already has been bonkers. It’s such a great warm, amber fall scent, and a little lasts all day! My new favourite out of my collection.

I was slightly scared to try this as it seemed so strongly animalic in the bottle, but as soon as it touched my skin it transformed into a wonderful warm and cuddly musk, brightened by the lemon blossom. Can’t stop nuzzling my own wrist now and I’d definitely wear this to hibernate.

A friend (with excellent taste) gifted me She-Bear and honestly if this scent were a person I would marry it. Lasts for hours; like an exotic adventure in a bottle. Smells and wears like a very high end perfume. What's not to love. Swoon.
