Elixir Charnel Floral Romantique · Guerlain
I normally don't try before a buy. This one I did. I'm very picky about white florals. This is nice, but it's not full bottle worthy for me. I get the tea, and the Lily. A bit of the amarette, but

Bee · Zoologist Perfumes
This is a brilliant olfactory depiction. I am the queen bee in her natural habitat - surrounded by a hive overbrimming with golden nectar, powdered with floral pollen, and teetering on the edge of

Vanilla Dream · United Scents
Are you on the hunt for a juicy, fruity, dreamy non-gourmand vanilla similar to (NOT a dupe of) Rare Beginnings EDP? Give this a try. It's one of my layering favorites, a base of vanilla with top and

Destin · Balmain
I first tried this in store 5 months ago, I thought it smelt very generic and cheap but familiar, so I bought a sample to try on my skin at home and spend more time with it. This is such an odd one

Debaser in Bloom · D.S. & Durga
Debaser in Bloom opens up much differently than the original. There is no fresh greenness here. Instead, it's sweet, deeply floral, and has a darker quality. The rosemary and gardenia combination is

Relique D'Amour · Oriza L Legrand
Seems like everything there is to say about this fragrance is already said. Relique d'amour is both deservedly popular and unique, and I'd highly urge anyone to sample it given the chance. It evokes

Une Fleur de Cassie · Frederic Malle
Holy shit has this windstorm of content has done…wonders for my maximalist approach to life! Une Fleur de Cassie is disorganized in the best way. A yellow floral that is, what I now know to be, an

Ilio · Diptyque
Beautiful soapy fragrance and I love the pear opening. What makes me sad is that the pear doesn’t last for more than 30 minutes or so. After that it becomes a pretty, iris-y clean laundry smell that

Hera · Papillon Artisan Perfumes
I am not the first to state: Hera is a masterful contemporary elaboration on vintage perfumery. She is a shapeshifter with whom one will need to sit through many wears and contexts to begin to
Zyggy Stardust
Honour Woman · Amouage
Clean, dewy, feminine, elegant, diaphanous and unmistakably white-floral. Inoffensive and without cloy. Mature yet not matronly. She sits with finished posture. A potential signature scent for most

Orange X Santal · Essential Parfums
It feels light but the scent surrounded me a bit (I did 2 spritzes on inner arms) and stayed for 3 hours before starting to weaken. It’s more cozy and gentle instead of a bright orange. No vanilla or

Pride · Proad Parfum
Pride is a bit of an interesting one. It opens like a smokeless Tonnerre by BeauFort London; almost like a lemony cleaner, though, there is no lemon and it shares almost no notes with Tonnerre. That

Soft Oud · Marks & Spencer
I got 3 discovery sets from M&S recently, and the “Discover” line are easily the most generic. I think these are the ones that are most meant to be reminiscent of classic designer scents and there’s

Black Salt · Heretic Parfum
It's spicy, exotic, fresh, it smells like the sea without being an overtly aquatic scent. It truly does evoke the feeling of being in a centuries old castle, standing on the balcony overlooking the

Azonto Absolu · Montagne Parfums
The time has finally come! The package arrived yesterday, and I was very excited to try it out! To start it off, I tested it on paper and was surprised because it was not too close, in my opinion.

Jardin d’Amalfi · Creed
Really enjoyed using this fragrance; clean, quiet, elegant. A floral cologne that is super versatile and understated, perfect for after a shower in the morning. Cannot imagine repurchasinng at the

Ambassador Men · Gisada
Had no idea what to expect as this was a complete blind buy. Intensely sweet and syrupy top notes dry down into a really sophisticated scent. I enjoy it overally but would not wear it due to the

Fahrenheit · Dior
I remember my Dad having this bottle around the house when I was young so fancied buying a bottle to see if I could wear it. My memory of this scent was much better than in reality, unsure if there

Honey Moon · Phlur
This is my second time testing this and it’s official, this is forgettable. I’m instantly reminded of baby wipes or a freshly cleaned baby… there’s a powdery and soapy essence to this and the

L'Homme Ideal Parfum · Guerlain
I really like this fragrance, but there is something weird about it. I really like it when I put my nose right in there and smell it, but at a distance I sometimes get this overly sweet scent. I wish

L'Interdit Eau de Parfum · Givenchy
Givenchy L’Interdit is…oof. It makes my hips ache and my knees creak. It makes me feel like a fucking fossil. This is a candied fruity floral, like crushed shards of every flavor Jolly Rancher

Reve d'Ossian · Oriza L Legrand
If you love the offertory pencil shavings of CdG Avignon (and I do) this is that on steroids and maybe also hallucinogens. You know, the drugs that monks and nuns and holy prophets and saints take to

The Ghost In The Shell · Etat Libre D'Orange
As a long-time anime and manga fan, I was of course never not going to be drawn in by the reference to Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell, a stylish and strange cyberpunk neo-noir in which exists a

Safanad · Parfums de Marly
Safanad is a rich, velvety amber, projecting an opulence amplified by orange blossom’s bewitching florals and jasmine’s heady musk, which always seems to me both elegantly amorous but also offers an
