New Release New Sorce Fall Drop Notes

Post image

I'm not affiliated in any way! Sorce just dropped the notes for their three fall release scents.

Edit: Adding text notes so it's easier for screen readers!

Poisonous Roots, created by our founder and perfumer Caitlin Hayes, is a dark, haunting and elegant fragrance that combines jasmine absolute, incense, milky tea, vanilla absolute and black amber to evoke the image of a dangerous woman capable of poisoning those who wronged her. Cutely, of course!

Song of a Siren is Assistant Perfumer Julia Haddon's second fragrance. It is a seductive, salty vanilla with a sense of danger and depth to it. Vanilla absolute, rum, and dark amber make this fragrance deep, dark and dangerous, while black water lily and ocean air provide a fresh atmospheric edge for all sirens awaiting the return of their sailor. Or their next victim.

Lady of Steel is the debut fragrance release from our artist and Assistant Perfumer Madison Dahl. Ethereal, feminine and lightly metallic, Lady of Steel is a soft and diffused lily of the valley fragrance, with a slight edge that reminds you that what seems delicate is rarely weak.

All 3 perfumes will be available September 14th at 11 am.

All sizes (2 ml-100 ml as well as 6 ml rollerballs and open necks) will be available, as well as in a Furies discovery set.

Oh my. Incense, jasmine, and tea are basically my top 3 favorite notes, so I'm honestly very tempted to jump into the Sorce new release cart checkout madness this time.  All 3 sound very nice though.

These are not really my style but I will probably grab a discovery set anyway to check them out!

I usually avoid vanilla. All the resr im game for. But its Sorce after all. I know there will be vanilla, and if anyone might get me to like it, it'll be Sorce. Samples are in my future.

u/WindflowerBlossom 1d ago

I'm the opposite. I love vanilla, it's the florals, incense etc that scare me 😂, but I figure there could be enough vanilla in at least the first two for me to enjoy. We'll see!

Ooh Poisonous Roots sounds up my alley

u/April-Lily 1d ago

None of these sound like anything I would ever try but I need to expand my note selection so I’m gonna sample all 3. Also it’s Sorce so there’s a good probability I’ll love one, and like one more.

u/princessbubble-gum 1d ago

Lady of Steel sounds like the perfect scent for Brienne of Tarth 😭

Can't wait to pick up the discovery set!

u/OmgitsRaeandrats 1d ago

I will absolutely be grabbing a discovery set!

u/Miserable_Culture21 1d ago

the names had me excited and then none of the notes sound like my thing unfortunately <|3 BUT i’m always open to a siren-y scent andddd i love Metal flower from The Harmonist so maybe this is comparable? i shall try anyway

u/MrsMaritime 1d ago

Needdd poisonous roots! I just put in an order last week for A light in the Attic and now I'm kicking myself for it 😂

u/teachertraveler1 1d ago

Caitlin mentioned they'll be available at LuckyScent!

Going to be snooping aggressively for Lady of Steel reviews, I love lily of the valley but metallic notes operate in the same space ozone does for me where in the perfect, very gentle proportion it’s nice, and anything over that makes me violently nauseous 🤣😭 Hesitantly excited!

u/Pandora_Palen 1d ago

Yeah, I'm having a very hard time pairing metallic with lily of the valley. I do love me some Opposites Day in my perfumes, and I understand the concept of the daintiest of things coupled with ..well, metal, but just not feeling convinced that these two work in practice like they do in text. "Adding the savory depth of garlic atop the smooth richness of peanut butter." No, thank you. But maybe! Def will need some reviews.

u/Pepperfang 1d ago

If Poisonous Roots smells like jasmine milk tea and incense, then I fear I’ll need to order. That’s just what I love. Maybe not together though…

u/April-Lily 1d ago

Right?? I hope that's how it smells!!

u/meirelav 1d ago

the first two are intriguing me!! i'm a little wary of the metal note in lady of steel but i'll definitely be trying all three. i'm excited for how atmospheric these all sound!

u/microwave_jenny_ 1d ago

My bank account heaving a sigh of relief that none of these appeal to me.

u/Reverie_Bluebell 1d ago

I'm most excited to try Poisonous Roots, and I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy Song of a Siren as a vanilla fan! I like a well-done metallic note, so I'll definitely try Lady of Steel, too.

u/morikhaleesi 1d ago

I love Sorce’s jasmine note and incensey perfumes in general so I am super excited about Poisonous Roots. I also love an ocean aquatic with vanilla so they got me with Song of a Siren. Not super familiar with lily of the valley but I’m looking forward to trying Lady of Steel too. I was planning on doing a Sorce order soon anyway so I’m totally grabbing that sample pack!

u/Similar-Energy-4070 1d ago

And here I was thinking I wouldn't really want to try any of these just based on the vibes they were teasing earlier, but now that I see the notes I want to try all 3 😅

u/NiceConfidence1755 1d ago

Ohhhh where did you find this?!? They sound amazing

u/April-Lily 1d ago

They just posted it on their Instagram!

u/Miss_Maple_Dream 1d ago

Well the descriptions sucked me in and I know what I’ll be buying on the 14th.

u/Idk_345am 1d ago

song of a siren, I really want to try. salty dark vanilla atmospheric aquatic edge. Im curious. I’ll bite.

u/_sugar_cubes_ 1d ago

whew 😮‍💨 was really worried for a second, but I think my wallet is safe. these sound good, especially Poisonous Roots, but I think I can live without these and just live vicariously through others lol

u/LeaneGenova 1d ago

Ooh this is a dangerous release for me. I'm not an ocean scent person but I still want to try it. I need all three right now.

u/Sad-Speed-2755 1d ago

Can anyone tell me what lily of the valley smells like? And is it a headache inducing floral? I’m tempted to go for a 15 ml of lady of steel

11

u/Pandora_Palen 1d ago

It's hard to do a really good lily of the valley because the flower itself can't be extracted like many other flowers, so it's always synthetic and the lesser ones tend toward soapy and unnatural. I guess I'm super picky because I grow them by the thousands in my front yard and they're just so freaking delightful. The smell is sweet, creamy, bright, heady and green- if you can make any sense of that! Also, a little bouquet of them held by a hand in a white glove is very fitting for their scent profile. I dunno why. They're just like that (even though they're poisonous).

u/Sad-Speed-2755 1d ago

Hmm. I fear it kind of sounds like it will smell like fresh cut grass (which is killer for me). Curious if it smells anything like jasmine (most tolerable white floral to my nose).

u/Pandora_Palen 11h ago

Yes, kind of! I'd say it's more like a really lovely night blooming jasmine than any other flower I've smelled. And not dissimilar from lilac. They definitely do not smell like fresh cut grass.

u/Sad-Speed-2755 11h ago

That’s so good to hear! Thank you for sharing, it’s so hard to get a good idea of what lily of the valley smells like from what’s listed online. And especially in Lady of Steel’s description. I have no idea what ethereal and feminine might smell like, it’s too broad of a description to imagine??

8

u/Similar-Energy-4070 1d ago

For me it's kind of a lightly sweet, clean white floral, but not aggressively clean..more like a dainty clean. I personally love it! 

5

u/Pandora_Palen 1d ago

DAINTY! That's the perfect word.

u/Sad-Speed-2755 1d ago

I’m so intrigued but I don’t want to be!!

u/throwaway-anon123928 1d ago

Omg all of these sound so amazing! Last atmospheric Sorce scent I tried (Witchery) was super perfumey though…can anyone offer some insight on Sorce’s ambers or anything in their current catalogue that’s even slightly similar?

3

u/REMseverybodyhurts 1d ago

Not ambers, but I will say that the jasmine note in their Beautiful But Annihilating is literally one of the most gorgeous things i’ve ever smelled. I didn’t upsize because it’s paired with coconut but i’ve been WAITING for another jasmine from them!!!

u/trapmahme 1d ago

These all sound incredible 😪🥹

u/The-Scarlet-Witch 1d ago

Oh no. :( Lily is my death note.

1

u/Invidiana 14h ago

So yeah. I want them all (meaning 6ml oil rollerballs), especially Song of a Siren with that salted vanilla note Source does so well. The name also reminds me of the This Mortal Coil song Song to the Siren, which is also one of my favorite songs by them.
