Strange Invisible Perfumes Fire and Cream


Strange Invisible Perfume’s new-ish Fire and Cream opens on orange and orange blossom. If you’re familiar with the Strange Invisible Perfume natural perfume line, you’ll know exactly what I mean when I say it has a sharply herbal, almost medicinal character, especially in the early stages (and there is quite a bit of lavender), and if you’ve smelled some of their more recent offerings, the softer, earthier dry down will also be familiar to you, as it has elements in common with their Musc Botanique and Aquarian Roses fragrances.

It isn’t really fiery or creamy, but it’s a very enjoyable fragrance, especially if you’re a fan of both orange and the Strange Invisible Perfumes aesthetic: I drained my sample in no time. Still, I don’t like it quite as well as the two other fragrances I mentioned, Musc Botanique and Aquarian Roses, and so I’ll just add my usual: if a bottle fell from the sky, I’d wear it, but I don’t love it enough to add it to the “buy” list. The lasting power is good for a natural perfume: a few hours.

Strange Invisible Perfumes Fire and Cream is available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum for $145 or in 1/4 oz Parfum for $195. The notes include orange, orange blossom, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, tuberose, frankincense and lavender.
