The notes description emphasizes its coolness - "iced white tea," "cold conifers" - and it really is a sort of cold, crystalline scent, like your feet crunching on icy snow crystals on the perfectly clear winter day after a snowstorm. Wet, the perfume is mostly pine and ginger ale (and it really is ginger ale, not just ginger - there's a hint of aldehydes in there). Dry, it becomes less cold, with the white tea, clary sage, and mint emerging together to give it an overall herbal effect. It has great longevity too.

I purchased Astrophilia on a whim (because I am a lover of stars, AND ginger ale lol). I generally like sweet gourmands or citrusy / candy scents. At first sniff- yikes- this was not for me, as it really smelled like lemon cleaner on me (hah I have the weirdest body chemistry). An hour later I got a whiff of something incredible, at first I couldn't figure out what it was... it was ME. Wow! This perfume smells like a deep space mystery hah. There is so much intrigue and depth! It's SO dark, relaxing and inviting- a little hint of sweet and citrus, yet clean and fresh. I cannot stop smelling myself. This perfume is everything I have ever wanted. I wish this came in a huge bottle. Please don't ever stop making this!!!

I am OBSESSED with this scent. I have only placed one NCD order so far but I am literally in love with this perfume. I actually just came to this page because I wanted to order another but I see now it's sold out, and I'm praying and hoping it comes back one day. It literally smells like most amazing ginger ale soda scent with a lil tea and a lil mint and I am hooked for real. If I could give this 10/5 stars I would!
