Muse beauty review - Espresso vanilla and caramel pistachio
Based on how many good reviews and recommendations I saw on this sub for past 6months i bought these 2 fragrances from muse beauty. The 15 ML variants vere out of stock (i really wanted the cute bottle though 😞) so I bought the 30 ML variants for around 569 Rs each with discount . Onto the review - unlike the raving reviews I saw before my purchase... Both the bottles were slightly disappointing
Cons : The first thing you get from these scents is bitter pungent alcohol.. not the general perfume one like literally floor cleaner vibes.
The notes have a very short life span and vastly different projections.
And the main complaint - they smell almost nothing like the description
Pros : Pretty decent atomizer for this price range , cute packaging, Nice longevity.
Espresso vanilla- This is NOT a coffee perfume it's a jasmine one. After the pungent alcohol evaporates all I get from this is jasmine and bitter almond (middle notes) which stays for an hour or so and settles into woody vanilla skin scents with hint of jasmine. So basically no top notes. The projection of middle notes is nice but the base notes don't last than 1-2 hours.
Caramel pistachio - we start with the same pungent alcohol that settles into warm coconuty caramel scent moves to a bitter pistachio and returns back to amber / coconut smell. This one has better profile , projection and lasts for 4+ hours. On skin the pistachio was more prominent but if you are looking for caramel it doesn't deliver much. On a side to the coconut in base note on skin skin smells exactly like coconut barfi lol .
Not sure if they changed the formula or suppliers but it seems like their recent deliveries are not holding up to the hype created in last 6 months.
Anyways let me know if you have any recommendations for affordable coffee fragrances since this was a dud for me.
