One thing I love is perfume – I have daytime fragrances and fragrances I wear when on a night out. I learnt over the years that price does not matter in a fragrance. You choose one based on how well the fragrance works with you and your skin. I have tried some that smell amazing in the bottle and disgusting when I have tried to wear it. This is because a perfume doesn’t smell the same on every person. Read on for my Dolma Vegan & Cruelty Free Fragrance Review.
Over the years I have become much more conscious of the products I buy and use. Especially after learning some of the top brands test their products on animals. That changed my attitude and encouraged me to make better choices when it came to my beauty care. Recently I was contacted by Dolma vegan, cruelty-free fragrances, asking if I would like to review their products.

Perfume Discovery Set
As I have mentioned before, what a fragrances smells like in the bottle, to how it reacts with your skin can be totally different. Which is why I love trying fragrances at home and wearing them for a while. I chose the Dolma Women’s Discovery Set, which consists of twelve different fragrances in 1.8ml bottles. So you can try them at home to see what full bottle you prefer before you invest the money. This gives you a chance to test drive a scent so to speak.
Here is what you will find inside the Discovery Set:
- Light Bloom – A citrusy floral fragrance with top notes of sweet orange and middle notes of white florals like magnolia, lily of the valley and freesia.
- Midnight Velvet – An elegant Asian woody scent with saffron and tonka to spice it up.
- Sun Joy – A woody base opens up to fresh notes of citrus, palm, rose and freesia perfect to bring your day some joy.
- First Rain – A strong base of mossy woods transports you to the forest with whispers of jasmine and mint.
- Amethyst Mist – With notes of cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver decorated by white floral accents of ylang-ylang and heliotrope for those who like an earthy fragrance.
- Anahita – This has peach and lemon tones that lead to a white floral heart of carnation and ylang-ylang. Spicy notes mingle with woody notes of sandalwood and cypress.
- Andromeda – An earthy and woody scent with notes of jasmine and deep shades of amber and vegan musk.
- Calista – Fresh and citrusy with bergamot and lemon, along with a rich bouquet of jasmine, geranium and ylang-ylang. With woody base notes.
- Compassion – Ylang-ylang takes the lead with light tones of lemon and ginger and a touch of amber.
- Cushi B – A floral fragrance with a deep base of patchouli and a hint of cardamom and cinnamon, which accentuate tones of lime and orange.
- Sarabande – Assertive woody scents, earthy patchouli and soft amber with the romantic scent of rose.
- Veganmusk – This has soft notes of jasmine and lily with touches of sandalwood on a bed of (vegan) honey and musk.
My Opinion
I love fragrances and having tried these they smell amazing. All have worked well with my skin and are perfect for daytime wear or evening wear. I have to say those of a certain age will remember White Musk in the 80’s being the fragrance to wear. The Veganmusk took me straight back to that era of the perfume I wore all the time.
