Give me bread!

Barmbrack is self-described as a “Freshly baked bread with a thick crust and a bit of butter (vegan accord of course), slightly yeasty but not sour. No sweetness. Autumn 2019. Barmbrack (Bairín Breac) is a slightly sweet bread, traditionally baked with small divination objects inside and served at Samhain. Our perfume interpretation does not have fruit notes, spice, or sweetness.”

No specific notes were listed on the website.

When I open Barmbrack I am transported to an oven, a bakery, or a diner. Deep and nutty, the scent envelopes you at first sniff. This fragrance is so very bread-y and yeasty, but not in a sour, unwearable way. It’s a true savory!! I am genuinely obsessed with the depth of this scent. Once applied, the butter scent really comes into full effect. There is a soft sweetness, on account of the butter notes, but true to Fyrinnae’s description, there is nothing fruity or spicy about this perfume. It is so warm, cozy, and delectable. It’s also a very intimate scent, easily lasting all day but not particularly projecting. I really enjoy this scent wafting around, but it does make me hungry at times. I usually only need to reapply this scent if I really want it to project.
