Changing Constance

I adore this fragrance! It’s everything that I love, subtle hints of caramel, some warmth from the cardamom a touch of spice to round it out. It’s a grown up gourmand in the best way. It is literally heaven. My only issue, and it’s a big one, is that the sillage is weak and there is no projection after 30 minutes. Even nose to arm, or shirt, you can’t smell it! For the price, I’d expect something to project better or last longer. If you’re ok with only experiencing this for a few minutes, you’d love it! I’ve started layering this with Maison Margiela’s Afternoon Delight to get better performance-great combo!

Very lovely scent. Showed up sweet and slightly spicy on my skin. Very subtle, so don’t expect much projection on this. Only took away one star for longevity, as it doesn’t last very long on my skin. Overall a very nice scent and would suggest purchasing if you are able to splurge on this scent.

The pimento gives this perfume a really interesting initial smell and the dry down is a delicious cashmere tobacco. I really love wearing this perfume and it smells especially nice in my hair. I also love to spray my pillow because the deep scents help take me on a fragrant sleepy time journey. What a lovely way to drift off to sleep.

For me Changing Constance is a lovely spicy scent for my home or a candle, but not so much on my skin. I can see its appeal to those who love a spicy perfume and I can understand why some folks view this as a wnter/ holiday scent as the spices certainly evoke a spiced cider/spiced cookie vibe. Since I live in South Carolina where it's never what anyone considers winter ( it's snowed once here in the last decade) it may be that I will have give it a try again when I travel northward for the holidays. For now Constance is an overpoweringly spicy chick who's a bit " in your face" for a warm, generally humid climate. She needs to heat up the world around her not overheat and overwhelm.
