In the few days since Cosmic 2.0 was released to the world, it has already captured the hearts of more than one R29 beauty editor. “I’ve never been a fan of floral perfumes — actually, I tend to avoid them altogether,” Refinery29 beauty director Jacqueline Kilikita shares, likening the sophisticated eau to something she’d expect from niche houses like Le Labo. “Most are too sweet or too heady, but this one pleasantly surprised me.” And as fellow perfume lovers can attest to, nothing is more disappointing than the beautiful, complex scent that — poof! — disappears before lunchtime. I’m delighted to report that’s not the case with this one. Not only did this last all day long on my skin, hair, and clothes, but the dry down is absolutely gorgeous. On my skin, the warm, amber notes clung to me the longest, leaving a veil of can’t-quite-describe-it yummy smells that I loved. Kilikita concurs, adding that after applying it in the morning, she “could still smell traces of it” when she got home.
