I was so excited when the replica sample bundle came out!!!! I have been so intrigued by many of the replica scents but of course it would be silly of me to buy full size bottle without trying them first, so this was the perfect solution.
Shipping was fast as always, although unfortunately my little sample bottles leaked during shipping. It happens!
Suds- a very light, soapy, floral scent. Really does smell like you just got out of the shower or ran a bubble bath. Lasted about 3 hours on my skin. This was my least favorite of the bunch, but if you like florals and clean scents, it may be right for you!
Saxophone- true to it's notes, this was a musky, boozy, very classic fragrance that did smell jazzy to me! It comes on very strong so a dab will do ya. lasted a VERY long time, at least 8 hours. Again, not my favorite because of how strong it is but some will love that affect.
Fireside Marshmellow- Does what it says on the tin, this is a woodsy vanilla with a good strong smoky note. I liked this one a lot, but I probably will revisit it in the fall/winter as I don't think it's versatile enough to wear in spring/summer. Lasted about 5 hours on the skin.
Cafe- To me, this scent came through as a milky lavender scent. I could smell the coffee on first spritz, but after the dry down it sort of disappeared. I would've liked to smell the coffee notes all day, but, if you are a lavender fan like I am, a creamy lavender scent will do just fine! Good for all seasons, but only lasted about 4 hours on the skin.
Novel- This one surprised me!! I was expecting Fireside Marshmallow to be my favorite, but Novel came out of nowhere! It genuinely does smell like a dusty old book in THE BEST WAY. I even had my roommates smell an old book I have and then smell my wrist and they couldn't believe how similar it was. This scent starts off strong on the peppery/woodsy notes, and on the dry down the vanilla comes in to mellow the whole show to a beautiful creamy, almost masculine scent. Lasts a full 8 hour workday on my skin and wayyy longer on my clothes. I already bought a full bottle and will buy more when I run out. I think I've found my new signature scent!!!
All in all, the Replica bundle was a great purchase- I only wish they sold a choose-your-own sample pack! Thank you ALT!
