Dear Polly

Beautiful spring scent

This is a lovely spring daytime scent that makes me think of walking beneath white flowered trees while drinking a hot cup of tea. Dear Polly opens with strong tannic bitterness and almost medicinal bergamot, but dries down smoothly, as if you added a splash of half and half to your tea. I like that it's soft and creamy with no vanilla; it smells appetizing, but not as a saccharine sweet gourmand. It's feminine in an "adult" way - not sexy or girly, but also not powdery or "grandma". It's a close, intimate scent that just makes you smell good. This will get a lot of wear for me as an office scent.

Not my favorite from Vilhelm, very very strong tea scent but it can be okay in certain settings,

Tea scent … I think I have smelled better tea scents .. but overall a good solid 4 starts so far.
