Solstice Scents- Blossom Jam Tea Cakes


Solstice Scent's spring collection is my first order from this company. I've heard great things and hopefully it lives up to my expectations.




Blossom Jam Tea Cakes is the only brand new scent this season. It only comes in the perfume type.
BLOSSOM JAM TEA CAKES
Southern Tea Cakes, Petit Fours, Floral Infused Jams & Preserves and a Delicate Aroma of Tea
Blossom Jam Tea Cakes features the mouthwatering aromas of Petit Fours filled with floral infused jams and preserves, enrobed in sweet fondant, warm southern tea cakes topped with a delicate lavender buttercream and a subtle waft of hot tea. A rich cakey base supports light floral and fruit notes to create a beautiful atmospheric spring gourmand fragrance.

Notes include: yellow and white cake, honeysuckle absolute, palmarosa EO, peach, strawberry, blood orange EO, lavender absolute, ylang ylang absolute, buttercream, fondant. The floral notes listed may give the impression that this is a heady floral but it's not. Rather, the floral notes were used with restraint and were intended to infuse the delicate fruit notes to create an interpretation of floral jams and preserves thinly spread on fluffy cakes. A very unique fragrance that should please fans of scents like Rose Mallow Cream, Chantilly Cream and the Manor Collection's Kitchen fragrance.


In the imp: CAKE! All cake all the time

Wet: Boom! Fruity (I want to say blackberry jam but obviously not in the notes?), mmm buttercream frosting. Cake with jam & frosting, just as advertised.

Dry: light cake with a floral/fruity background, very pretty but probably too sweet foody for work or anyone really sensitive to perfume (My sister is the most sensitive person ever to scented items). I think I got the peach & strawberry as it dried but it was after I read the notes.

Verdict: Too fruity-foody for me, not my type. But it's definitely going to apply to anyone that is a foody, loves cake, fruit or sweet smells. It's very realistic to me.
