Mr. Ibis

Recommended Posts

Papyrus, vanilla flower, Egyptian musk, African musk, aloe ferox, white sandalwood.

Mr. Ibis is so exactly like its character that its uncanny. There is a softness there, a delicacy, a subtly that I don't always find in perfumes. I was not quite sure about it, it was so reserved, so dignified, but I am finding myself turning to this trusty bottle on tough days or intense heat. Its cooling, calming, gentle.
I didn't think I liked it, on first try, but it turns out I am a fan after all.

Soft, sweet, and clean. A very calming scent. In the bottle it's mostly musk and a non-foody vanilla.. On application it's very musky and sweet from the vanilla, but the papyrus becomes the strongest note, smelling like sweet clean paper (in a good way!). Then the aloe starts to peek out when it dries, lending a bit of clean green sweetness to the background.

 

I usually prefer things that are stronger and warmer with more throw, but I can see myself turning to this to wear to bed or out on stressful days to keep myself collected. I don't even mind that it stays pretty close to me, just because I kind of -want- to keep it personal and just for me.

 

So overall this is definitely a keeper.

I agree with PeculiarHeroine that Mr. Ibis captures the quality of the character beautifully, but it just doesn't work on my skin. Too quiet, too reserved. The vanilla is faint, the musks are faint, the sandalwood is faint; my skin just eats it all up. I'll pass this imp on to someone who will be able to appreciate it better.

This smells sooooooo good, but it's so faint that I can only smell it if my nose is resting against my skin. As I'm a slatherer that likes to move about in a cloud of my perfume (don't worry, I work alone, not in an office, so I'm not bothering anyone), this just won't work for me. Sadness! It really does smell good, just needs more throw.

It is very light. It does remind me of paper (papyrus) and a little musky but overall it's a very soft scent. My boyfriend is very happy with it on him and I think it represents the character wonderfully. I personally prefer less over-powering musk scents so I don't mind it.
