Happy Indie Friday y'all! This week I thought I'd focus on a few scents by Wiggle Perfume and Sundries , a purveyor of delightful perfume oils. Since fragrance is a highly personal thing (what with subjectivity and different body chemistries and all) please bear in mind that what smells awesome to me may not smell awesome to you and vice-versa, but maybe this will give you a general idea of what some of these perfumes are like. Wiggle Perfume is based out of Washington state and their Etsy shop has a retro, feminine vibe (though they do have a few men's fragrances on offer). I heard about this shop when I asked around on the Indie Makeup subreddit about perfumers that do really good florals, so I picked up sample vials of a couple of their florals and some other stuff too. The samples are $3 apiece - here's a pic for size comparison:I ordered five samples and she threw in a sixth one for free - bonus. Here's what I got:I think the description of the notes in this fragrance is pretty apt, though the dominant scent to my nose is definitely tea. I also get a whiff of the "boozy little kick" straight away. The other notes sort of blend together, but they're all still there... at first it smells a bit fruity, but then I think it smells more floral, yet there's a definitely an element of spiciness behind it all. I'm not sure if this fragrance suits me personally, but it's interesting, and if the idea of a cozy tea scent that isn't straight-up tea appeals to you then this may be worth a try.I'll be honest... this blend smells like soap to me. But like the world's fanciest soap, the kind of thing you'd find in a rich old lady's bathroom. I can really smell the jasmine in this, so if that's something that doesn't normally agree with your body chemistry I'd probably skip this one. In a less concrete sense, this smells sort of like a summer breeze on humid night to me, but like... in soap form. I honestly can't decide if I like it or not... it doesn't smell bad, but I don't think I'd want to smell it on my body all day. In a diffuser or something it would probably be awesome though, because it's fresh and summery and sort of elegant.This is EXACTLY the type of fragrance I was looking for when I first heard of Wiggle Perfume. Buxom is an old-fashioned (but very grand) floral fragrance with a sweet, vanilla-y edge. I smell a bit of a boozy note in the bottle, but it seems to dissipate once applied to my skin. This one is definitely on the strong side, and not for those who find rose scents distasteful or old-ladyish. I find this to be a bit more playful than some rose fragrances, but rose is unquestionably still the dominant note. A sexy scent with a bit of innocent sweetness behind it. Would purchase in full size.Anjali also has a bit of a soapy quality to me, but not as much as Selene. I'm thinking it might be the jasmine since it's in both of them? Anyway, I definitely smell the coconut and amber in there, with just a hint of jasmine... I can't quite pick up on the clove and carnation, but maybe they're just in there for support. Despite the slight soapiness on me I really like this fragrance. It's unusual but inviting. I may purchase this in full size... not 100% sure yet.This was the freebie vial. I probably wouldn't have chosen this myself, but it's actually quite good. The dominant note is tea, but there's a prominent citrus element straight out of the bottle. As it dries down the floral and spicy notes become more noticeable. This wasn't quite what I was looking for but it suits me surprisingly well, and generally speaking it just smells really cheerful and good. When my boyfriend came home from work yesterday he said "Ooh, it smells so good! Are you burning a scented candle?" Nope, just the perfume.Another really fabulous, old-fashioned floral. If you like Buxom I think there's a good chance you'd also like this one, though Lila feels like Buxom's darker, sultrier older sister. I came to Wiggle Perfume looking for something like Buxom, but I think I might like this one even better. Would purchase in full size.This is sort of amazing, but I liked every single fragrance I sampled from Wiggle. The only one I'm certain I wouldn't buy for myself is Odessa, but not because I thought it smelled bad on me, rather because it's a bit more subtle on me than the others and I love to reek like the inside of a candle shop. I'm 100% sold on Buxom and Lila, and considering the others (especially Anjali) in full size. Plus there are a number of other scents in their catalog I want to try...Most of these scents have a romantic, retro feel and a bit of a sexy vibe. I think they're sort of old-fashioned (in a good way), but if you're usually averse to really bold fragrances or "old lady" scents I would definitely order samples first.In terms of the particularities of ordering from Wiggle, it was uneventful. I think the turnaround time from order to shipment was about 10 days, which isn't especially long compared to other indie sellers. Everything was packed securely in a bubble mailer, no errors, no leaking, no problems. I will order again. Or I will make someone else order for me as a birthday gift. :)You can find Wiggle Perfume and Sundries on Etsy . They do ship outside of the United States, though the international shipping rates are a fair bit more expensive.
