This month? We try out Smells Nice Fragrance House Terre et Vent/Woody Sage + Sea Salt Solid Perfume…
Imagine standing cliffside, the wind swirling around you as the ocean crashes below. Bet you’d feel invigorated, powerful and very, very alive. Well, that’s what Smells Nice Fragrance House is banking on each time you swipe on a little of their unisex solid perfume: Terre et Vent/Woody Sage + Sea Salt.
Known for their eco-conscious approach and (cough, not-so-secret, cough), obsession with premium, chemical-free ingredients, the Toronto-based indie brand crafts scents that are not only long-lasting and portable but also undeniably sophisticated. And their latest creation with its untamed energy of land and sea, captures that sentiment (pun intended) perfectly.
On first application, Terre et Vent opens with a whisper of amberette, offering a soft, musky warmth that immediately pulls you in. As the scent develops on your skin, sea salt notes emerge, evoking the crispness of a salty ocean breeze with a hint of mineral freshness. Finally, the perfume settles into its base of woody sage, grounding the composition with an earthy, herbal depth that lingers subtly. The overall effect is fresh and rugged, one part at home in the city another part traipsing the outdoors on unknown terrains.
Housed in a sleek, matte black tin, the solid perfume is discreet, portable (yup, even in your carry-on airplane luggage) and effortlessly cool. Made from natural beeswax and jojoba oil, the balm-like texture melts into the skin when applied to your pulse points (behind your ears, nape of the neck, wrists, inside elbows), offering a clean, alcohol-free experience. All you have to do is swipe, apply and go.
