Arcana: Comfort and Philtre #5: Embrace reviews

These are two more scents I bought in the great  BPAL forum haul.   Arcana's Comfort was actually an alternate selection because the seller had already unloaded my first choice.  But I found the notes for Comfort online, and decided to give it a try.

Comfort: The cozy, sugarcoated balm of holiday solace. Delicate yellow peaches and nectarines nourish the heart while French vanilla and creamy nutmeg bolster the spirit. 

I love most fruit smells, and I don't have many peach or nectarine scents, so this one got my attention in a hurry.

In the bottle, I get the peaches and nectarines and not much else....not that that's a complaint, mind you!
On me, wet - peach/nectarine and something almost minty.  Mint and I do not get along, but I'm hoping this stage passes quickly!
Drying - Oddly enough, this is like a combination of peaches/nectarines and ....evergreen?  It's not bad, but it is different!  I don't get the evergreen note except when I sniff my arm up close.  The throw is  pure peaches/nectarines.  And it is an oddly comforting scent...
Dry it's all peaches/nectarines.  Nice!

Arcana has several "scent sets" One of them is the Philtre collection, made up of  Amity, Adoration, Fetish, Consumed, and Embrace.  Embrace's notes are: Then you breathed my breath and slept against my fluttering heart. This sensuous formula is believed to induce delicious caresses and kisses without end. Three ambers, French vanilla, Bourbon custard, golden musk, sweet coconut milk, and a soft whiff of skin musk.

Well, anything that induces "delicious caresses and kisses without end" is a winner in my book, no matter WHAT it smells like!  (Not that I'll ever have to worry about lack of either of those with Chris around...).

In the bottle: Buttery vanilla! Yum.
On me, wet:  More buttery vanilla, but starting to catch the custard and coconut.  This one's luscious!
Drying - this doesn't morph much.  Vanilla, coconut, musk, amber....definitely a keeper!  I'm actually thinking that this and Comfort might be good layered, since the vanilla never came out to play with Comfort.  This one is a foodie lover's dream.

I shouldn't even have to add this, since I've already clearly disclosed where I acquired these scents, but:  As always, I was not compensated in any way, shape, or form for this review.
