As evidenced by our oft-updated Pinterest boards, Instagram feeds, and Tumblrs, we’re always on the lookout for sparks of inspiration. Since we’re used to pick-me-ups of the image and word variety, we were happily surprised to discover them in fragrance form too . SAGE + fasten founder Vivian Lee has created a line of four scents, each meant to embody the quality for which it’s named. And with this handy rollerball collection, we can take our inspiration wherever we go.
It's hard to judge a perfume by the scent descriptions, but I decided to give it a shot. The scents themselves are really lovely. I like that you could layer some of them without them being overpowering. (I don't like heavy, musky scents.)
I know some folks have commented on the cute packaging. I was excited about seeing how cute it was in person, but to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed. Still, I bought these rollerballs to try the scents, not just so I'd have a metal tin for my trinkets. :)
These tiny little rollerballs are perfect to throw in your clutch for a little refresher when you transition from dinner to your destination for the night. They are not "sweet" smelling by any means... in fact, I would call them almost spicy or herby, but still very delicate. I love all four!
4I only received the Common Sense fragrance in my Birchbox, and it was lovely - light, fresh, something I could wear everyday. What I really wanted to comment on was how great the packaging is for travel. These are tiny rollerballs - easy to apply, no chance of accidentally squirting or getting uncapped and spilling in a toiletry bag. Very nice!
4Each sense is fabulous and not too strong. I love the packaging and the names of each one of the scents. Reading the names gives me a little boost in the morning. A great product if regular perfumes give you headaches and you just want a little something special.
