Lutens is a world-renowned creative, makeup artist, photographer, as well as artistic director. You might only know of his achievements in perfumery, but he isn’t a perfumer by craft. Kevin Aucoin

And there we have it - Le Labo's City Exclusives sampling is complete! Some I tried only once, most twice, and the ones I was on the fence about multiple times - always testing on skin, and paying

So I don't have as many samples as everyone else but I need to start seeing what I have so I can see what I like vs. not. I found a deal for a cosmetic brush organizer for 2 for $8.99 and I think it

My local drugstore has 3 Fantasy options available and my lovely man wants to buy me one as a gift tomorrow. I'm super flexible. I intend to own all of them at some point as an art collection (I love

Diorissimo · Dior
I do this all the time. With vintage AND even current bottles the atomizer fails or leaks in some way. I refuse to let my stink-juice be wasted, so I decant it. I had a bottle of original date of

I've read many many people who longed this beauty. I wanna know your thoughts!

Wow what a wild ride— next I’m gonna do surgery on Diorissimo so look out for that later today or tomorrow :)

Cherry Punk is a confidence booster in a bottle. It’s cherry and leather with this dark, rebellious edge that instantly changes my mood when I put it on. The cherry is bold and juicy, but the leather

Our Xerjoff shelf. Richwood goes in the missing spot. I think we've only added Al-Khat since this picture.

I feel like I have an opposite trajectory to a lot of fragrance heads, who get more niche and expensive designer as they go, or recently get into Middle Eastern brands. More and more I am reaching
Belvedere Rabbit
So, I started my fragrance journey June 2025. I bought a Mancera discovery kit on Amazon. Then I started looking for recommendations or suggestions with that brand by reading Reddit. I’ve also always
Tellulah
Not saying we all graduated from Bath & body Works (I’m clinging to my discontinued bottle of Dahlia for dear life), but we were all definitely the primary guardian of at least a couple of bottles.

Perfect Absolute · Marc Jacobs
Okay. So on a first sniff on paper, I do like this. But what I'm smelling doesn't match up with what people are saying about it. This doesn't smell deep, ambery, sexy, dark. This smells like dance

Tried a couple on strips, really liked one of them - will go in unscented next week so I can try on skin.

Silphium · Stora Skuggan
I had the most lovely time at the Scent Room and wanted to give a shoutout here to the ladies (I apologize if either of you have different preferred pronouns) that helped me amass 4 fragrances that I

Suave Petals is just incredibly delicate and pretty. It has this soft, feminine sweetness that feels almost weightless, nothing loud or overpowering, just smooth, graceful and beautifully put

Want to explore this brand but haven’t encountered in the wild. I love Cedar Chic, Bal D’Afrique Absolute, Musc K. In a clean girl era currently but can also lean into a good cherry. Any

I had a nightmare that I searched and searched all the online resale platforms for my perfect bottle of vintage Poison and finally found it at the right price from a Japanese seller. Waited weeks for

Anyone else going? I got a ticket for Thursday only. Haven’t been in the past but looking forward to it!

It seems like 90% of what crosses my TL are shills pushing gifted scents & who have been in to fragrance for 2 minutes Who do YOU think is actually worth listening to & speaketh the truth? Or close

Tea Tonique · Miller Harris
I got a sample of miller Harris tea tonique and it smells identical to a hotel soap I’ve smelled before. Nice but I don’t want to smell like a hotel (no shade if you do). Everyone says the extrait is

Fleurs · Lolita Lempicka
Before I get to the full-on reviews, I've decided to write up a quick chart of what I liked and didn't like from the free feminine sample set from the Lolita Lempicka website. The chart goes from the
