My Dog!




I don't know why I've been keeping this from you. It certainly wasn't intentional, but I fell in love with a scent that I can't get enough of and now I need you to try it and love it and buy it so it never is discontinued. K?

That's my intro. I needed to get that out of the way just in case you weren't understanding how serious I am about this scent. Now, I don't know if YOU will like this scent, but it MOVES me.

Let us start with what and who it is: Moon Dog by Haus of Gloi


I first purchased Britton's Satyr soap, which I loved loved and bought a second one. I then bought a few sugar scrub samples. One in Picaroon, Satyr and Moon Dog. Picaroon was delish, Satyr smelled a bit like an orange creamsicle and was sweet for my taste (different smell in the soap) and Moon Dog which was dreamy.

I then immediately bought Moon Dog soap, used it up, went back to her Etsy shop and bought two more since then and a Moon Dog perfume oil. I have to tell you that I am so over the moon about this scent that I am grateful Britton created perfume oils because I can dab a little oil on my wrist and smell it all day instead of just experiencing it in the shower.

This is how Moon Dog is described:

Solar storms erupt: pure cracked coconut, dry sandalwood heated
with Indonesian nutmeg and a Singapore clove.

I think I smell all of those things... but of course, it's a bit hard to separate those bits when you are floating above the floor. I know I smell the coconut and it's not sticky sweet - it's anchored with spice and there is something in there that I can't quite get that isn't listed and I keep smelling my wrists. This is why my review took so long. Because I was hopeful I could be more descriptive and eloquent in my review.... but not so much.

I'm basically telling you that I love the products I've tried and Moon Dog is loyal and oh so good. Please Britton, keep this one around. For me!

* Yeah, I went ga ga.

Big Moondog fan here!! This scent somehow spoke to me the first time I tried the soap. I even remember telling myself, I need a perfume in this.
The perfume stays on me all day, it's pure bliss.

Moon Dog lotion is Jenn's favorite and my favorite is the Elevenses (even though I'm not huge on foody scents...this one is more of a sophisticated comfort scent) and we both LOVE Picaroon and Aduwa! Britton's got a great nose on her!
