Bright bergamot and neroli at first spritz! One of the few neroli forward fragrances that I enjoy. Sadly the bergamot dries down quickly and the neroli and "green notes" develop into a fascinating

I love this fragrance so much and I'm so sad it was discontinued because I've never smelled anything else like it. The Roman Chamomile offers a clean herbal feel with a slight botanical lean, while

Banoffee Pie · Lush
I am usually not a cakey-gourmand, sugary scent lover. I love fruity scents though, so I decided to go for this. I like it. It’s just like Banoffee pie/banana bread. It’s like Sticky Dates but better

Sauvage Elixir · Dior
I feel like life is too short to wear the same stuff everyone else wears. That is a kinda snobby approach, I know. I was anti Sausage right from those cringe Depp adverts but fast forward to smelling

High Tea · Burberry
Bright, herbaceous florals given a fresh, aromatic edge. The warmth of tonka. The comfort of chamomile. This is the scent of steam rising from a pot of herbal tea in a field of wildflowers. Bergamot

Babycat · Yves Saint Laurent
Babycat opens in a surprisingly abrasive way. The pepper, resin, and saffron combine in a sharp accord that, for a moment, reminds me of the smell of a burning tire. It's not something you'll want to

Starlight · Xerjoff
One of the most gorgeous openings in all of perfumery - photorealistic to the point of disbelief. Fresh, green cardamom pods, given a sparkling brightness and adorned with a crystal-clear amber.

Dolce Amalfi · Xerjoff
An entirely unique spiced-fruitiness, given lift with some clean incense and resting upon a quasi-gourmand, balmy vanilla. The comparisons to Juicy Fruit gum are totally valid, but this is

Lucky Alchemy (March 2025) · Alkemia Perfumes
Started beautifully green & fresh, but turned heavily spiced — as in cloves or cinnamon — after about an hour, and the spice built in intensity over time. I think I tend to over apply oils, and will

Torino21 · Xerjoff
Loved this one the first time I smelled it. Very up lifting and refreshing fragrance. I know many people complain of a tooth paste smell but I get none of that. Doesn't last as long as some Xerjoffs

Nomade · Chloé
First, the bottle is so gorgeous! Second, it smells like peach, soft linen, and Polish apple cake. It warms up when I’m wearing it and it’s pretty but I’m not sure I love it enough to buy more. Think

I was worried this would be a chlorinated aquatic, but a pre sample sneaky whiff when this arrived told me to set this aside for a bedtime sample. And wow! This is a beautiful blend of citrus, green

Belle De Paris · Fragonard
What I love about iris/orris is the many facets iris can take in perfumery. It can be vegetal and smell a little like carrots or stems. It can be powdery and resemble lipstick or cosmetic powders. It

Eau des Sens Eau de Toilette · Diptyque
Eau Des Sens is a sunny, natural, "whole orange tree" in a bottle experience. I mainly get lots of bitter orange oil and green leaves, with a soft sweetness from the orange blossom. A zesty

Raspberry Ripple · Jo Malone
Very creamy and tart but barely any raspberry. I pull more of the tartness from the red currant note. It’s essentially a skin scent. Two stars because it smells nice and can work if you want a very

I feel kind of basic when I try a popular/much hyped fragrance, then end up LOVING it. I totally get the appeal of this one; a true unisex, bright, light, wood that’s not too heavy for warmer

If you smelled quite a few fragrances marketed for men, then that one wouldn't be anything new for you. Shy oud + refreshing fir is a perfectly nice combination. If you don't want anything that might

And I suggest this as you can only buy a bottle of this stuff at their London store (& how they stay open on just selling this & candles is a separate topic of discussion), however it's not limited

“pop corn, candy pear and marshmallow”. I don’t smell the marshmallow but I smell the juicy pear quite prominently with some sweetness in the background from the popcorn note. After a few minutes

Nio is a picture perfect neroli/petitgrain scent; it’s not much more than that, but it does it perfectly. There are some other vaguely green notes in the background that make this more plant-y than

This is summer in a bottle - fancy sunscreen, coconut, white flowers, and cardamom. Absolutely lovely and very likeable. The EDP is creamy, warm, and a little bit too heavy for the extreme heat where

The top notes start with a bright powdery flush, enhanced by the citrus resulting in a wakeful, but calming opening, sort of like being brought out of sleep by a breeze from the grove. The almond
