Sunkissed Hibiscus · Nest
Opens immediately with a strong, ambery, creamy coconut. After about 5 mins it starts to settle and the lovely florals come through. The white flowers aren’t loud, they just give a radiantly sweet

Shalimar Millesime Rose · Guerlain
Millesime Rose opens with a smooth, rich blend of almond, luxurious Guerlain vanilla, gentle incense, and a hint of rose water. It is intoxicating from first sniff! I also get a delightful fruity

Bibliothèque · Byredo
Plum doesn't usually work with my skin, but this and Valentino Donna Born in Roma Purple Melancholia are proving me wrong. I'm quite enjoying both. I'd consider this much more of a plum leather than
KeyLimeCocoa
Sunset Hour Dark Peach · Goldfield & Banks Australia
Boozy Amber vanilla with a hint of peach. I was taken aback by the blast of benzoin in the opening but it mellows out to a smooth, warm scent. There’s a classy feel to this and it can be pulled off

Tryasovyna · ZWYNTAR
Quintessential fairytale quagmire perfume. It was made in collaboration with the band ZWYNTAR, and named after their song Tryasovyna, which means "quagmire." The song in question is a beautiful
Robin
Hotel Cotton · Villa Erbatium
I love this with my whole heart. I love a laundry/soap adjacent fragrance and this ticks all my boxes: good projection and longevity but never nauseating or too sharp, just clean and soft. I do get
Xathaneal
Ýdalir · Alkemia Perfumes
This fragrance is truly one of a kind, I've never smelled anything close to it before. The smokiness and resinous scents hit you over the head, the forest notes are ever present, it honestly feels

Oud Éclat · Miller Harris
From the notes, I would assume Oud Éclat would be an instant favorite of mine - oud, leather, balsam fir, moss - it has a lot of what I like. And while I do really like it, I thought I would
Zakry Eau
Gabrielle L'Eau · Chanel
I distinctly remember when the original Gabrielle was launched and how hyped it was, only to fall flat almost immediately after release. The issues with the original Gabrielle are extended into L’Eau

Vanille Absolute · Montagne Parfums
You know, I always thought of myself as a vanilla hater. But sometimes I pick my perfumes without looking at the labels- I dig through my pile of samples and I sniff the nozzles. Once I find

Babylon · Penhaligon's
Named after a Mesopotamian metropolis that blossomed into an empire, I expected Babylon to smell truly imperial - lush terraces of date-palm greenery, woody spices curling from household hearths, and

Vanilla Canyon · Phlur
This one isn’t bad by any means but it isn’t my taste. I don’t get vanilla, it’s just a very earthy woody patchouli on me. It kinda reminds me of a Christmas candle my grandma used to use lol.

Uden · Xerjoff
The thing about this scent for me is that if I had to go down to 3 fragrances in my collection, this would be in those 3. It’s just so perfect and versatile, that it fits in all year in just about

Lucius · Fragrance du Bois
The assistant at Jovoy introduced me to this fragrance and it was love at first smell. Sprayed the sample she gave me a couple of hours ago and I can’t stop smelling my arm. It’s fresh woody citrus

Strawberry Letter · Phlur
I was a little bit worried about even wearing this. I tested it on paper first and it smelt like my 80s Strawberry Shortcake Doll on steroids, sickly sweet and artificial also like biting into a

Signature · Montblanc
I do like this one but it isn’t one I reach for too often. I don’t get the creamsicle vibe everyone else seems to get. To me it’s more like a bar of soap, specially like a dove beauty bar. It smells

Rosie · By Rosie Jane
this is the first skin scent that actually has that natural sweetness that real skin has. It has a beautiful clean rose scent but it’s really really soft. Initially I didn’t think I loved it due to

Strawberry Letter · Phlur
I don’t know how to describe this scent other than it smells like the store five below. Like plastic and strawberry cleaner or something. I wanted to like this so bad but it is actually nauseating to

Shiu 25 · Le Labo
Camphor is a bit harsh on the open, but it mellows out to a smoky, oriental frankincense, with faint traces of a powdery iris base. A nice take for Beijing and solid addition to the Cities lineup.

Sea Anemone · Cirrus Parfum
Upon first spray you get a vegetal pineapple scent, so vegetal that at first sniff I thought it was a jalapeno scent, once the salesperson told me pineapple it was immediately distinguishable as a

Glimmer · Estée Lauder
First impression, very likeable and safe but I'm not mad about it. Sugary rose, not cloying in the least. Initially I get soft floral and citrus freshness. Sometimes patchouli can be difficult for me

I Flamed a Rose · Lancome
This was another surprise that is much better on skin than on the test strip! I Flamed A Rose opens with cosmetic powder, rose, and earthy patchouli. There is both a woody cedar pencil shaving note

Néroli Hasbaya · Atelier Materi
The pistachio opening in Néroli Hasbaya by Atelier Materi is quite simply the most beautiful I've encountered. It's rich and immediately captivating, but what makes this fragrance special is how

Jardin de L'Orangerie · Dries van Noten
This scent feels like springtime to me. It’s a very light floral scent that doesn’t bend too far in the direction of the indolic, white florals (which I always worry about with Jasmine as a note, as
