by A Lab on Fire
Freckled and Beautiful by A Lab on Fire is a gourmand-floral fragrance that evokes a nostalgic, childlike innocence with its delicate lactonic and milky accord. The opening features a bold, buttery honeysuckle blended with neroli and orange blossom, creating a fresh, breezy floral top note. As it settles, the scent transitions into a soft, creamy biscuit and warm milk base with vanilla, heliotrope, and sandalwood, adding a subtle comfort and depth. The fragrance captures a fleeting moment of summer reverie—like a quiet afternoon in a sun-drenched garden, sipping warm milk with a freshly baked biscuit. It’s intimate in projection, best enjoyed close to the skin, and performs most beautifully during daylight hours, particularly in spring and summer. While the notes are harmoniously layered, the longevity is moderate, fading quickly after a few hours, and some wearers report a lack of distinct milky or gourmand notes, finding it more floral than gourmand in core. The scent is delicate and dreamlike, reminiscent of a hazy summer day, memory-triggering, and utterly unique in its emotional tone.
