Ourside reviews and discussion

Just stopped by Credo Beauty to sample some of their scents. I loved 'Dusk' - i would almost call it an exact 'dupe' for The Noir 29 by Le Labo (the notes are pretty much the same). I really liked Nostalgia as well. They seem to be sold out everywhere so will have to pick up my own bottle when they are back in stock!

Ourside is an amazing company that prides itself in being inclusive to everyone, which I find amazing! I recently got their Nostalgia scent and I've also tried Moon Dust. They have deep, enticing aromas that smell luxurious and make you feel spoiled. They're also hypoallergenic which means your immune system won't be stressed or irritated, leaving you with only positive benefits. Definitely recommend 100/10!

Ourside is an incredible brand - consciously formulated and Woman of Color Owned, and they tend to support great causes. I particularly love the scent Dusk. It makes me feel confident and brave when I wear it- like I can conquer the world. I’m It’s aromatic and grounding, and the scent lingers on my skin all day. I can’t forget to mention the perfect and aesthetic packaging, it looks amazing on my vanity!

Their scent Dusk is one of my favorites of theirs. It is a combination of my favorite notes. From berries to amber, I feel as if it’s me in a fragrance. The scent also lasts throughout the day which is very important to me in the fragrances I use.

I tried the discovery kit after a friend had given it to me as a thank you gift. Well she knows me well and this kit did not disappoint! They were all beautiful and unique in their own way. I tried Nostalgia first and I felt that Jasmine, but not overpowering and I quite enjoyed it as it dried down into sweetness. Moon Dust had that citrus goodness that I love and then the unexpected peppermint cuts through and is surprising. The dry down was green and earthy. Dusk brought me berries and fig then earthy and finally musky. It reminded me when I would burn incense in my room while I would clean and listen to music. These niche fragrances are unique and I enjoyed them all surprisingly, since that's not always the case. I'm excited to try more!

Discovered Ourside in Credo thanks to my SIL and Moon Dust has become my go to scent. It’s a very sexy and subtle almost baby powder scent, but in a grown way with a hint of musk. I fell in love rollerball and that same night I went online and grabbed the bigger bottle. Love, love this fragrance and I’m happy that it’s in my growing collection.

After trying out Ourside’s discovery set, I fell in love with both Dusk and Nostalgia. I ended up purchasing a full bottle of Dusk because it was the perfect transitional scent to get me from Winter to Spring (and also any other transitional period during the year). On paper, this smells like a straight up dupe for Le Labo’s Thé Noir 29. On skin, however, Dusk is the winner for me! It’s far less screechy than Thé Noir and much richer, in my opinion. The best part is that it lasts SO DANG LONG. 12 hours plus on my skin with a more than moderate projection. This is the favorite tea fragrance I have in my collection and I cannot wait to see what the brand does next!

"Moon Dust" by Ourside – a celestial embrace wrapped in a fragrance. It opens like a love letter from the cosmos, each note a tender whisper, revealing secrets of the universe. The packaging, a cosmic canvas adorned with constellations, is a visual poetry, echoing the rhythmic dance of stars. Ourside, Moon Dust, invites us to waltz in the moonlight, where scent and soul converge in a harmony that lingers, like verses from a Nikki Giovanni poem.

so thrilled to have come across a fragrance brand like Ourside! i am all about supporting small women owned businesses especially women of color. and I am from the Bronx which is where these beautiful fragrances are made so it makes me feel connected to the brand. on top of that, the fragrances are out of this world!! my favorite is Dusk. I always get compliments on it and the scent lasts all day!!

I absolutely love how unique this brand is! As a fan of fragrance who owns a lot of different brands this one stands out. The longevity and the beauty of the scents are amazing! My personal fav, Moon Dust. If you want to stand out in the best way, this is the brand for you.

Consciously formulated in the Bronx, Ourside is a Black-owned fragrance brand that's a breath of fresh air. I appreciate the bold packaging and Keta's (founder) mindfulness when it comes to creating these scents. Dusk is an artfully blended fragrance that evokes a refreshing yet lush aroma that captivates your senses. It's a fresh and woody scent that's sensual yet easy to wear. It wears well all day long! I finally found a scent that reflects me.

BIPOC and woman-owned (automatic love!). My favorite is Nostalgia. It’s fruity (beginning) and earthy (dry down), and I can definitely see others wearing it as a comfort scent (me included!). As the name implies, this is a nostalgic fragrance…but I can’t quite place what it is making me nostalgic for! Overall, I’d say this one is the most experimental of the three…but I love it. 🥰

I tried Ourside’s Discovery set and fell in love with both Dusk and Moon Dust! I actually just ended up picking up a full size of Dusk, that’s how much I loved it. It is a beautiful woody and sweet fragrance that I think leans more unisex. During the fall and winter time, this fragrance would be elite! Love the brand and what they stand for.
