Cǎoméi Yìn / 草莓 印 香氛油

The rock sugar note is what makes this special—it sweetens the strawberry just enough without going into candy territory. I keep getting whiffs of creamy sandalwood hours later, which is exactly what I wanted from a perfume oil.

I dabbed this on my wrist and the lychee cuts through the strawberry just enough to keep it from being too sweet—doesn't fade too fast either, which I appreciate.

The rock sugar note really balances the tart strawberry—it's sweet but not cloying. I dabbed some on before bed and could still catch the creamy sandalwood when I woke up, which surprised me for an oil.
