Shalimar Eau de Cologne · Guerlain
The modern Shalimar EdC (not the original) opens sharp, with an almost medicinal blast of citrus. Once that burns off, what’s left is a dry, dusty vanilla mixed with a light incense. There is zero

Arabians Tonka · Montale
I loved everything about this when I first tried it. However as I wore it I get getting this uncomfortable scratchy feeling in my throat. I dobt know if something in it is that sharp or what, but it

Alexandria II Anniversary · Xerjoff
Reading reviews of this elsewhere you would think this was the final boss of barnyard oud but on first spray I’m a little perplexed - there is some funky oud in there that makes this more complex

Figment Man · Amouage
When I smell this fragrance I immediately picture the painting by Rousseau called The Snake Charmer. The snake charmer stands at the edge of the jungle playing a flute. They’re wearing an animal skin

Odalisque · Nicolai Parfumeur Createur
This is a spicier green chypre (as opposed to a more muguet/jasmine/oakmoss dominated classic chypre type). However they dosed the patchouli is what gives this perfume the spicy oomph I love so much

Melted Sugar · Al Absar
I love the L'interdit line, but I also love money. Rouge Ultime is my favorite from the line, but it's a designer so it's a designer price tag. PLUS IT MAY BE GETTING DISCONTINUED BTW. Now, I have

Elephant · Zoologist Perfumes
I love Elephant, it's my favourite from Zoologist. It's very green and slightly lactonic, definitely creamy. The tea is present, almost as spice, in the opening and it's almost too bitter at first

Eclat Noir · Fomo Parfums
Ugh, I'm being lazy rn so I'll fill out later. ETA I'm leaving the previous original "review" up on principle. This is a dupe of Angelique Noire, which I had resigned myself to having to drain my

Aira · Paris Corner
This is almost like a more mass appealing, sweeter, fluffier version of Angelique Noire! It's got that green angelica note at the top, and they've managed to make it so nice and smooth. The vannilac

Chanel No 5 Parfum · Chanel
There's no way I can be unbiased about this fragrance. Every year for their anniversary, my dad got my mom a bottle of No 5- not an insubstantial gift when you are trying to raise 5 kids. It was her

Voux Zeste · Paris Corner
A lovely citrus, and great if you want something similar to Lira by Xerjoff. It's very similar, but not quite identical. A solid perfume, but I feel as if it's more linear than what it's duping. The

Elephant Sanctuary Edition · Zoologist Perfumes
This is my second wear of my sample. I have to say, I like it more this time around. The first time, I wrote it off as a simple floral fragrance. This time, I find it honeyed and a little smoky. I

Pacific Aloha · Rayhaan
This is a sweet fruity number! Not as sweet as Ana Abiyedh Coral, which for me is a good thing as that gave me a headache. Just not sure if this is a keeper because I typically don't go for really

Madeleine Impériale · Juliette Has a Gun
From the sample box: “…Madeline Impériale reimagines the iconic pastry as a symphony of exquisite elegance. A radiant burst of blood orange ignites the senses, giving way to a decadent madeline

Cowboy Classic · Harry’s
This is a lovely leather and spice fragrance. It’s instantly appealing and projects loudly for about 20 minutes before beginning to fade. On my skin I only got about 3 hours before it faded mostly

Super niche skin scent. If the listing for this is butchered I may know the guy who did it… The notes will throw you here. It is an art piece meant to represent the Korean paper making process. To me

Chanel No 5 Parfum · Chanel
Joking aside this is the blueprint! So…what does that mean? I have a 1962 bottle of Chanel No. 5 extrait, some 75 Parfum, some pre 70’s EDT, and the Eau Premiere. I love the Eau Premiere and EDTs—

Rifaaqat · Paris Corner
I never tried YSL Babycat but heard Rifaaqat was a close dupe. When I first spritz it on my skin, I get loads of pepper with a vanillic undertone. It becomes yummy and delectable. Very refined

Odeur 53 · Comme des Garcons
I would preface that CDG are probably my fav house & I've owned so many of their scents over the years (back in the early 00s when their little Series bottles only cost about GBP35, which is hard to

Aoud Café · Mancera
Relaxing at home and I decided to spray this in to compliment my cup of decaf and a spoonful of pistachio gelato for dessert. The dark, woody coffee notes are the perfect compliment to the evening

...right? I love the OG EDT, and the updated EDP. Light Blue Intense caries the story forward another step, deeper into the waters. You've been to the mainland, you took the boat, and now you're on

A burst of citrus with creamy white flowers and fresh aquatic vanilla. This is light and fresh, beautifully tropical, and easy to wear in the heat. There are plenty of fragrances that are similar but

I was so excited to nab a decant of this perfume because 1) I love Dries Van Noten and; 2) I love violet. So, when my decant came today I sprayed excitedly and… I was underwhelmed. It opens with a
