Year XOXO

Year XOXO is a pleasant, rather intimate skin scent. Throughout the entire drydown, I perceive a slightly synthetic sweet apple. Added to that is a sweet vanilla and some freshness from the ozonic notes. However, it's not a buy for me because it lacks that certain something.

Year XOXO by Sarah Baker was an absolute, positive surprise for me. For me, it is a wonderful, very airy, and powdery-woody skin scent with a soft, cuddly aura. I am particularly fascinated by the apple note. While fruity facets often evaporate quickly after the opening, the apple here remains astonishingly present. Even after more than an hour on the skin, it is still clearly perceptible, wonderfully embedded in the soft woody base. The fragrance is by no means gourmand or heavy; the powdery notes merely carry a hint of discreet, subtle sweetness, which is likely due to the vanilla, but remains purely subliminal in the background. An elegant, intimate companion for every day.

Oh God, it is so beautiful 🥰 Haven't smelled something so gentle and soft in a long time. Hard to describe. For me, rather feminine, not a loud fragrance. Very delicate, like vanilla soft serve ice cream 🍦 A delicate vanilla that has been on the skin for a while, not an artificial, overloaded gourmand vanilla, rather a natural one that melts into the skin. For me, rather a skin scent, a going-to-bed scent, a scent that doesn't bother anyone. I'm thinking about buying a full bottle. Since I mainly wear strong, loud scents, it is almost too delicate for me. I only smell the apple 🍏 briefly at the beginning; the other listed notes, I think, create this warm, soft, cozy feeling. 🫶 I actually perceive the listed paperback note as well. The longevity is good, the sillage could be stronger for me ☺️ In any case, extraordinary and very, very beautiful. Recommended to test!
