First wear!
Bought this bottle and I’m loving it. I don’t understand the Imagination love out there, but this is what I think a tea fragrance should be. Light, bright citrus with darker tea, almost musk. And the

Black Tie
This is another beautiful Celine vanilla perfume. This time, it's focusing on the smooth vanilla itself, with added nuances of powdery orris, gentle cedar wood and barely-there musk. These notes

Banana Rush · Juliette Has a Gun
Toasted banana pudding!
This scent is sweet and delicious, but it has also got a touch of a scorched sugar flavor, which makes it irresistible! It’s like when a pie crust that’s just a little brown and crispy adds a

Opium (1977) · Yves Saint Laurent
Performing an Opiumectomy
I had to do surgery on my bottles to get the juice out, yielding ~50mL of 1978 Opium and ~10mL of 1998 (or 1988) EDT. I have the year of release and it is softer than these two. If you know Opium

Honey and Tar · Anna Zworykina
I smell like someone eating honey cakes while repairing a road and I love it
Calling this a 'gourmand' because it has honey and cinnamon notes is unkind both to this perfume and to gourmands. This is something wonderful and unique. On me this fragrance starts as 'fresh tarmac

Rose Pacific · D.S. & Durga
Unusual rose scent, perfect for a hot beach day
This is not a scent to spray on clothes. This is a scent to spray on tanned skin before going to the beach. It’s a hot, hot, sunny summer day scent: aquatic, salty, musky-sunned-skin, unsweet floral
Sycron
French Lover · Frederic Malle
A nice woody green fragrance
Wood, musk and a green facade in a nice way. It wasn’t meant to last all day at least that’s what I get of it. In a way it reminds me of DH 2020 but with much more depth, while breaking away from

Summer vine · Foras
Initially promising, disappointing finish
Started as sharply vegetal, with a hint of the faintly spicy green of tomato leaves. Not as much as I'd like, but still nice. An hour in it's a pleasant but not standout sharp summery green.

Green Irish Meh
Smells lovely, but the performance was absolutely abysmal. Completely disappeared in 20-30 minutes, not even lasting as a detectable skin scent. Alexandria Fragrances has an inspired by version of

A Merchant's Bouquet
We step off the riverboat onto dry land, where an oily, damp-reed leatheriness greets us, along with a faint trace of the market we’ve come to explore. A merchant ushers us over, tempting us with

Lorelei · Fantôme
Refreshing Strawberry
Lorelei opens with tart strawberry and fresh basil, like an iced strawberry-basil cocktail on a warm summer day. There is an element of sweetness but it's not in a sugary way, it's like sweet basil

Opus Kore · Vilhelm Parfumerie
Clean girl vibes
I’ve been on the prowl for a clean, fresh laundry scent. Most of my scents are gourmand or florals but I remembered I had gotten a Vilhelm discovery set a couple years back. Tried Room Service but it

Thé Vanille · Nette
I’m not sure if it was me or the scent
But for some reason I had to put the windows down in the car after I put this on…I felt slightly nauseated and like I needed fresh air. The reason I think it might just be me is that it’s not

Infusion de Rhubarbe · Prada
Another Infusion Favorite!
I was hoping the Rose would have knocked the ball out of the park but it fell a bit short for me. The one pink, Rhubarb, is wonderful! The tart tangy rhubarb blends beautifully with the Infusion

Beautiful opening fumbles the close
I have been wearing this for 8 hours and it’s become a slog. I hate this. The fresh bright citrus opening was lovely but the musty dirty dry down is giving me a serious headache. This is the third

Eau de Californie · Celine
Eau de Californie
This is a smooth, woody scent that reminds me of the dry down of another favorite, Clive Christian's Matsukita, but without the tea. I usually don't care for mainly woody scents, but this one puts me

Pêche Velours · Maison Mataha
Feeling Peachy 🍑
After Fleur de Pecher today, I thought I’d continue with the peach and finally get this sample on my skin to test. First spray was a blind whiff without looking at the notes and I would’ve described

Sweet tropical fruits, a little tobacco
While leather is listed, I don't really pick that up. This is predominantly a quite sweet tropical fruit scent with a little sweet tobacco in the background. I think a little more leather or tobacco

Eau de Lynch · Nose of Gatsby
Time to smell like David Lynch's office
An old, 1960s CRT television. A wooden shell. Hot vaccuum tubes with that classic, faint hum. All you see on the TV is static. There's florescent lighting that you almost hear turning on and off 120

Woody, creamy, clean
This is the only sandalwood fragrance I’ve ever come across that I enjoy - and I REALLY enjoy it. Typically sandalwood smells pickley to my nose, the sandalwood in this scent smells gorgeously woody

Uplifting Mood Enhancer
Testing! This surprised me in the best way . I hesitated trying this because so many said it has a bubblegum note, which is unappealing to me. Thankfully I don't detect that at all. It opens with a

Getting floored by a perfume’s sheer uniqueness and storytelling prowess is a great passion of mine, yet I appreciate those who sing a softer, more predictable tune too, and Allure Homme is one of

Covert Musk · A Lab on Fire / What we do is secret
Baby Powder
If I get my nose close enough, I can pull apart the individual notes - the honey, the ylang-ylang, the musk, the wood (that’s apparently everything), but the accord they’re creating in the opening

First Wear Review
This perfume's opening comes across bright and airy, although fleeting. Neroli, pink pepper, and elemi fly between leafy bergamont creating a fizzy effervescence. Vanilla and Bulgarian rose make
