Silex · Perfume Who
Understated, Soft, Quiet
Silex is an understated, soft floral fragrance that turns powdery as it dries down. It’s quiet, close to the skin, wearable, lovely, and entirely not what I’m looking for in a fragrance - but I do

Cute for Travel
This is an adorable fragrance that's nice for large crowds. Floral powdery rosey mellow fragrance that's mass appealing. There's a slight "text book" perfumey note in the background but it doesn't

Pear-fection
Forgive the title, but this is truly my ideal pear scent. There’s some aspect of pear as a perfumery note that can burn my nostrils unpleasantly—it’s usually in the immediate opening and settles

Not a good blind buy for me
Not impressed. I read the notes and it seemed like I’d like it and watched reviews and felt the same and this is disappointing. Way too soapy for me. It’s fresh and it doesn’t smell bad at all but at

Elemental Lushness
Tiny spray on one wrist (dab-transferred to the other) of HIWTK (it's so STRONG), two sprays of AoC and 1 of EA. Woke up to the smell of candied, honey-coated sunscreen, which wasn't the intention

Dididn't make it to the planned beach walk
But being influenced by name or not, this feels like one to me, or maybe an outdoor pool. What it DOESN'T feel like is the syrupy fruit the notes look like to me. It comes across as way more of a

Harlem Nights
Harlem Nights is a lovely and complex scent, lightly sweet from the vanilla, boozy from the rum, quite leathery, and woody-spicy. It is super smooth, addictive and hard to describe. The patchouli in

Rose misanthrope
The description of this fragrance promises us a rock'n'roll rose, attractive and rebellious. I'm not fully sure this is exactly what was achieved. It's a rose, zero qualms here. But it's a sort of a

Saffron all the way down
I didn't read the notes beforehand and was expecting, based on the description, something sweeter and more bakery adjacent. This is neither. It is a smoky saffron & light oud fragrance, and that's

Light Floral for a Light Occasion
Attending a Tea Festival and I felt a light floral would pair well with the occasion. Lots of people and teas... This powdery floral skin scent works perfectly. Mass appealing and non offensive.
