A nostalgia of animal crackers, warm milk, a soft blanket, and luminescent white amber daydreams.

"One for sorrow,
Two for mirth,
Three for a wedding,
Four for a birth,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret
Never to be told,
Eight for a kiss,
Nine for a wish,
Ten for a suprise
You should be careful not to miss!"

- Traditional nursery rhyme to teach divination through birding, c. 1842

You ever want to smell like an adorable mouse dipping his cracker in mildy sweet, sleep inducing milk? The Magpie's Rhyme is that precisely. I am pleading with Alkemia to keep this around forever because it's just the loveliest, no-too-sweet scent that could easily be someone's signature (and quickly becoming mine!) it also layers beautifully with similar fragrances and I love experimenting with it.

One of my favorite scents

Smells clean and soft :) boosts my mood whenever I smell it on myself and the scent lasts a while too

Cozy and delicious, but short-lived

This is one of my favorite Alkemia scents, and certainly my favorite out of their white ambers. White amber is very faint on me but this one has something that makes it really special - the vanilla is very salty, and it has something that manages to get the crackers feel across (almonds?). It's not very lactonic but it is creamy, feels like being wrapped in a childhood blanket dipping biscuits in milk. It's calming and beautiful. Only taking one star off because both the sample vial and the alcohol-free spray are very, very short lived on me (maybe 30 minutes?), even when spraying my hair. This is one I really wish had an Ultime because it's so perfect!

I wear this both in daytime and transitioned to nighttime since the weather is becoming warmer. Just a lovely cozy vanilla. One of my favorites from my Alkemia order.
