Tempo Eau de Parfum · Diptyque
Tempo conjures an atmosphere of dolorous elegance, patchouli’s murky woods and dusky loam, with a wraithlike metallic chill and an herbal shiver of something green and strange simmering underneath.

For Him Black Edition 2022 · Zara
It opens up like axe but starts to develop more in the dry down, in the same dna range as MYSLF but not really similar. Its nice easy reach, clean white florals with some woody notes, the nutmeg

Purpose 50 · Amouage
I like the opening. Has a mineral frankincense smell, not smokey or dark, but rather mineral and maybe even luminous, with a subtle dusty aspect. It also has a soapy aspect, somehow. Not that fond of

Cow · Zoologist Perfumes
Cow is nice and gentle and docile. It's comforting and slightly green, lactonic. It's not strong and it doesn't project much, but I'm happy when I get a whiff of it on my skin. Would I get a full

Centaurus · Creed
Centaurus opens with a bright, almost juicy burst of cinnamon, and a squeaky clean tobacco accord. I picture a chain-smoking red fruit, except instead of ashy clouds being exhaled, it's fumes of

Absolu Aventus · Creed
Absolu Aventus is just gorgeously fucking handsome. Smoky pineapple is the main experience I get throughout, with some citrus and spice up top before it settles into a darker woody drydown.

Quelques Fleurs · Houbigant
This is quite the floral. 1912 was a good year for perfume, as L’Heure Bleue was released the same year by Guerlain. I will be calling *Some Flowers* QF for now on for sake of brevity and also QF

Bois d'Armenie · Guerlain
What a wonderful scent! A little sweet, a little powdery, a little soft musk with incense amber. Supposed to smell like smoldering parchment paper in an old Armenian Church. Benzoin is the star of

Sugar Baby · Boy Smells
Vanilla Era goes fast in our house because I like to occasionally layer it with Soda Snob by Snif or White by Comme des Garçons and my partner wears it often now that she’s out of Whiff of Wafflecone

Velvet Iris · Essential Parfums
This opens as a dry, cold, smokey and slightly harsh Iris that leans very masculine to my unintentionally socially conditioned nose. As it starts to warm on my skin it really blooms and becomes a
Xathaneal
Cuffed · Laurel Bath House
On initial application, the raspberry is a strong top note, sweet and fresh. The leather is an ever present base note, but it's only upon drying down that the tobacco starts to show itself. It smells

18 Vanilla Nera · Ledda
Ledda 18 Vanilla Nera Prior to purchasing, I saw reviews on this so I was hesitant to get it. However, I was placing an order because I have been stalking Orris and it finally came back in stock! The

Molecule 01 + Black Tea · Escentric Molecules
Let me start by saying that I love iso e super and can smell it all day and tea is my main favorite note of all time. Together it’s a synergistic blend that’s just right. Honestly I think everyone

Winter Palace · Memo Paris
This was my signature scent last winter and I’m excited to wear it again this winter. It’s citrusy but not in a super energizing way. Like a winter citrus sort of way. The tea is nice and cozy and

2# nota di viaggio (shukran) · Meo Fusciuni
Yet another photorealistic tea scents in my book. Even though there isn’t an actual tea note listed this smells just like the yogi brand Moroccan mint green tea. It’s fresh and minty and slightly

Miami · City Rhythm
I thought this would be my jam, but it's a sort of disappointing perfume. City Rhytm has done other tropicals and freshies, and this one seems lacking compared to literally every other sample of

Jasmine Tea · onE DAY
This is exactly as the title says. It’s not sweetened tea it’s just jasmine and green tea. I’ve had my bottle for about 2 years now and I am noticing almost a slightly gritty texture to the smell now
Leslie Jo
Ktoret Fluff · Michael Malul
This starts out strong with the apple , fluffy marshmallow and citrus. It starts to lighten up about 30 mins in into a creamy caramel skin scent. It’s very beautiful but not as much projection as the

Pure Grace · Philosophy
I got this for cheap on Whatnot and I guess I thought it was going to be like some other scents I remember from Philosophy? No I didn't look up the notes before buying. I get no musk from this and

Patchouli 24 · Le Labo
This is a master class in the use of birch tar. I'm not usually one for smoke or anything even remotely sweet, but the drydown of this smells like Aromatics Elixir + a cozy campfire to me, which I

Polo · Ralph Lauren
Polo is loud out of the gate, like a 76 Chevy Nova with a modified exhaust. It makes no apologies and takes no prisoners. Polo is a half buttoned shirt with chest hair poking out. Polo opens very

Debaser · D.S. & Durga
Debaser opens with a natural, green fig leaf and stem. It is lightly sweet, but mostly green. It is just a bit sweeter and rounder than Philosykos, which is even greener, but I think if you like

Red Tobacco · Mancera
I really love this fragrance. It makes me feel like I’ve just been admitted into an exclusive private club with butlers and open fires and Axminster carpets… and in real life I’d probably hate that

Quilombo · Fueguia 1833
If you've craved *ever-so-slightly* indolic jasmine blended with evaporated milk and slight resinous effect from benzoin, this is the perfume for you. Reminds me of Kurky in terms of scent journey
