Dolly: Scent From Above

Scent From Above by Dolly Parton is a gently sweet, powdery, and floral fragrance with a soft, woody-amber drydown. It opens with a bright, juicy blend of black currant, mandarin orange, pear, and peony, delivering a fresh and approachable first impression. As it develops, the scent evolves into a warm, cozy cloud of vanilla orchid, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, sandalwood, tonka bean, and fir, blending seamlessly into a soft, skin-hugging finish. The overall vibe is nostalgic and feminine—reminiscent of vintage Avon or Skin-So-Soft bath oils, with a hint of creamy musk and warm patchouli. It feels like a comforting hug from a kind, stylish Southern woman, evoking memories of church gatherings, family estates, or a cherished aunt’s dressing table. The fragrance is exceptionally easy to wear, suitable for daytime or casual settings, with moderate longevity and sillage, making it ideal for daily use. While it lacks dramatic complexity or bold projection, its pleasant, harmonious blend is universally appealing, especially to those drawn to sweet, floral, and soft woody scents.
