VIBE CHECK

Yet again, Im blown away by how much I love the sweet and vanilla-based scents from this house. Kefi is bright and tart yet grounded by the creamy vanilla and sandalwood. Its like sniffing a warm bowl of homemade black currant compote with a splash of heavy cream. Not too tart, not too sweet; perfectly balanced and packed with comfort.

This scent is so addictive. Im a complete and total sucker for fig fragrances, and the additiona of chai and sandalwood sealed the deal for me. I blind bought a travel size of this along with the discovery set, and I have no regrets. Its beautifully blended. The spices make it warm and cozy without being suffocatingly sweet. Theres something a little edgy in it too, perfectly matching the black and white listing photo. It feels wearable year round, with the weather of each season bringing out different qualities.

I’m honestly mad that it took me until now to try this house. I usually steer clear of sweet and gourmand leaning fragrances because they trigger my migraines and tend to feel teenagery, but all the scents I sampled from MdA have been absolutely beautiful and (personally) migraine-friendly.

I blind-bought a travel size of this on a whim after getting an Instagram ad. I was a little skeptical of this random brand, but the name and the notes sounded enticing because I've really been craving a perfume that was grassy but warm and dry, almost haylike. Other perfumes with hay notes have not appealed to me. This one really hits the mark. It smells like a meadow at noon on a hot day. It's sweet, but not cloying. The grass is there but like I said, there's a dryness to it that really reminds me of hay. It's not at all an aquatic green note and it's not "fresh-cut grass" either.

Overall beautiful scent for summer and I see myself purchasing a full bottle when I run out.

Most beautiful heavenly scent will be buying a full bottle.

Stunning!

Love my sample of this and the others I have gotten- Night Market, Celeste, Limerence, I have most of them! All lovely, some work well more than others wy chemistry, but they are gorgeous and so niche, thank you.

Been meaning to try this for months. The plum and incense go well together

Love Celeste…one spray and I’m ready to conquer the day and/or evening! So glad that my friend recommended this wonderful parfum, definitely luxury without pretense.

This fragrance house continues to produce superior creations. Nocturn is excellent!

The opening notes for me are pipe tobacco with rum and toffee undertones, and something very nearly apple. On my skin it dries down to something akin to a pipe smoker’s favorite leather armchair.
This is a sexy library scent, warm and golden brown in all the best ways.

This is an evening scent, and what an evening scent. Wood and smoke and cool leather, warmed from within by a sweet, slightly boozy fruitiness. It’s walking out of a cozy, dark restaurant into the chilly air of a crackling, lively street, glowing from wine, hand-in-hand with a paramore, and knowing the night has just begun.

Reminds me of summer evenings next to my neighbor's Lindon tree. This particular neighbor only planted flora with "pleasant smells." Her eyesight wasn't much, but her nose was sophisticated. I came to drink in this fragrance on such calm, serene twilights along with a glass of white wine. MDA has managed to capture this honeyed ghost.

Best fragrance that I own! And i own 1,400 perfumes!

I loveeee Cordial so much, it’s my favorite along with Cloudbreath! I think its light and sweet and refreshing and the new bottle is gorgeous ❤️

I bought a full-size Paloma and discovery set after stalking the website for a month or so. I’d been wanting to try something new and out of my fragrance comfort zone. I usually go for ouds and musky skin scents. Paloma is even better than expected! I love the sweet and sour grapefruit mixed with the smoky mescal. I still have my beloved oud with the hint of cedar. It’s perfect for the Arizona desert I just moved to. It smells bright and uplifting without being too sweet or citrusy. TBH all the perfumes in my discovery kit are bangers. You’re getting some quality fragrance for the price. The scent lasts about 5-6 hours on me. I don’t mind that it wears off half-way through the day because it gives me an excuse to re-apply! You definitely won’t smell like anyone else and none of their perfumes are boring. Thank you MDA for making an affordable and unique product!
