To cover our asses here, we’ll say moderate to strong, and we know you’ll agree with us. But to be honest, it’s a little bit of a delulu assessment. Spite EdP always feels bigger to its wearer than it does to those around them.

I notice the vetiver next. As it warms up, a petal-soft rose rises to blend with the green notes. However, the bitter and spicy green edge keeps the rose from feeling delicate and pretty; it is more haughty and sophisticated in its beauty. This has the same green edge of Spite EDT, which allows these perfumes to wave at each other from either side of a continuum.”\u003c\/em\u003e — u\/Wordortwo, via Reddit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This IS the smell of spite.

If I was to think of my own historical figure, it might be Simone de Beauvoir, grimly battling the vindictive frailties of 20th century social constructs in her writing and her life, smelling like a slightly stark but affirming mix of cigarettes, pale florals and something vegetal and vaguely ‘organic’.
