Collection: Summer Scents Sale! 10% OFF

This was an absolute treat and a great way to introduce someone to Cypress Cove. Would do these again should the opportunity come again in the future.

I really enjoyed trying all these scents. The samples arrived 10 days after ordering (including 1 weekend, the New Year holiday, and snow delays). Everything was packaged very neatly and there were no leaks or breaks. I liked some scents more than others. Overall, I found these perfumes to be very high quality. Here are my initial impressions, ranked from most liked to least:
* Small Town Girl - Starts with lavender, followed by a soft lemon with a sweetness that comes out more with the drydown. Very nice and upbeat. I could definitely wear this out and about in my daily routine. Maybe the scent name is fitting, but it makes me think more of the Billy Joel song than Journey.
* A Day In The Vineyard - very nice. I liked this most of all the samples. starts off green, but Did not get much wine from this, and that's ok since I don't care for the heavy/tannic scent of wine (but I love the taste). Drydown is floaty and weirdly synthetic.
* A Day At The Lake - fresh and green with a punch of citrus. I really like this! It's similar to Wine Tour but more vibrant and less chemical. The spray vial was not squeezed shut all the way, but fortunately there were no leaks. I wasn't able to close it (maybe did not have the right tools?) so I transferred the contents to a rollerball.
* A Morning At The B&B - Detecting ambroxan or cetalox? It's floaty but warm. Kind of a skin scent but not salty. A neutral pleasant.
* Shopping The Boutiques - juicy citrus, not specifically lemons. There's a faraway note of pink flowers. Vibe is outgoing and approachable. It's ok.
* Wine Tour - Opens w sharp green cleaning fluid, then warms into something softer, warm and familiar but still green. No wine. Very light bit of wood in the drydown, like an aged but empty barrel. Strong herbal backbone, like natural insect repellent (not citronella though).
* Cashmere Whisper - Starts peppery opening, then shifts into a slightly sweet floral. No musk or cashmere. Powdery drydown. Not for me.

I would like to start by saying that I am somewhat new to perfumes and I am working on identifying notes. I received free samples from Cypress Cove, I picked out every scent except for Shopping at the Boutiques because I’m not a fan of any of those notes. I have tried and worn all of them and I am in love. Wine Tour is beautiful and I will be full sizing asap. The cognac note is just to die for and the perfume as a whole really tells a story. I loved A Day in the Vineyards as well, it feels like Wine Tours older, more mature sister. The other scents were beautiful as well and I can see myself full sizing maybe half of the samples I tried. But overall, Wine Tour has easily became my new everyday scent.

First of all, I’d like to give a big thank you to Cypress Cove for offering free samples! That was such a fun gift to the indie community. My single complaint is that I was given an incorrect sample (Small Town Girl instead of Piney Woods), but strangely enough, Small Town Girl has been my favorite so far. It smells exactly like a lemon bundt cake to me, as I don’t really pick up on the lavender. Not docking a star seeing how Cypress Cove is a new business and was just bombarded with a ton of orders upon opening. All the scents I’ve tried have been long lasting and adequate to good, no scrubbers. Thank you again! <3

Reminds me of a lavender lemon cupcake but less "edible", more rounded out. If you like these notes surely you'll like this scent too!

Piney Woods (Pine needle, Fir Balsam, Petrichor, Clary sage, Vetiver). All the notes come through in this one. I particularly liked the clary sage - it lends a very fresh herbal notes (and does not smell like cooking sage). If you like the sound of the notes in this one and want to smell like a forest, this is a safe bet.

They were fabulous, I especially love piney woods, its very relaxing.

My husband likes this one a lot but I find it easy to enjoy too! Very clear notes. The vetiver, moss, & petrichor catch my attention the most. It's cool and damp with the sage coming out more towards dry down. It's not heavy like some forest atmospherics are. It'd be easy to wear indoors or in warmer weather.

Delicious scent with a joyful vibe! Opens up a juicy tangerine with a well blended pink lemonade note and drys down more mimosa forward. A mellow orange scent rather than a sour one. Easy to love.

I recently got this perfume and have loved it. I have gotten so many compliments on the scent and how wonderful it smells. The name of the perfume represents the smell perfectly with its light and airy scent that takes you to the wine country. Fantastic perfume. I highly recommend it.

I was worried this would be too "grape-y" or too fruity, but its not. You still get a sense of vineyard grapes and the outdoors, but its very warm and classy. Really pretty!

This really is a lovely light scent. It couldn't offend a soul. A great feeling to smell like this right after getting dressed for a day of adventure.

If you've ever been wine tasting, you know the smell of walking into a tasting room and smelling the wine barrels. It's a smell that is unique and difficult to describe unless you've smelled it. This perfume has NAILED IT! This is one of those perfumes I think could be worn year around, and it's not something I would get tired of. Wearing it wine tasting in the fall though - would be perfection.

Spa Day certainly evokes ideas of being at a luxury spa! It has very nice notes of orange oil and cedar wood which for me provide a very calming and relaxing scent. The fragrance lasts all day!

If you love crisp clean fresh scented perfumes then you’ll love A Morning at the B&B! The scent is light and airy and evokes for me images of white linen in an open field. It wears very nicely throughout the day.
