Scents of the day, with the moment they were worn in.

Luna Rossa · Prada
Got home at 3AM and slept til 10. Caught up on household stuff, now headed for the gym. I'm not a fan of green apple/shower gel vibe, but PLR has just the right balance in the opening and it doesn't

Wulóng Chá · Nishane
I decided to throw the OG on the other arm to test side by side to the X. I think I’m starting to prefer the grassiness of the OG to the florals of X. I also like the earthiness from the nutmeg that

Rose of No Man's Land · Byredo
Ordinarily for a work day I'd do something sheer and fresh, but today I'm home which means I can indulge in something a little weightier. Rose of No Man's Land is a little richer than what I'm

No̱ 8 · Fischersund
Leaving off the oil today and just rolling with the EdP because I’m wanting that cool asphalt & soft leather to come through. The bottle of oil I have seems very rhubarb/citrus heavy, which is
alchemical child
Gardener’s Glove · St. Clair Scents
Don’t get me wrong — the perfume is lovely. I was just really looking forward to adding another bottle to my Tomato Patch. So far, I don’t think it works that way for my skin. This was my second test
Kimberly
Dama Bianca · Xerjoff
Hmm… not sure how I feel about this. I was expecting boozy, but usually that’s not blended with fruit. Immediate opening is like a smoothie left out for a day in the heat. Very sweet (not my typical
Ducki
Baccarat Rouge 540 · Maison Francis Kurkdjian
I originally gave this 2 ml to a friend, she got herself a full bottle after a few wears and returned this to back to me. I’m taking a mental health day today hanging around the house so I figured
Brian
Gold Man · Amouage
This is obviously geared towards men and was made by Guy Robert it but reminds me of a vintage classic such as Chanel no 5 or Madame Rochas. Interesting his uncle was Chanel’s perfumer Henri Robert.

Quercus · Penhaligon's
I have a rule that I only keep EDP or higher. This fragrance is one of my exceptions. She's labeled cologne (roughly 5%) but she performs like a strong EDT or lower EDP. She's bright, fresh, lemon

Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver Forte · Guerlain
I'm a big fan of Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria line for the spring and summer. Good quality, natural smelling fragrances that are very affordable especially if you get them from discounters. I've been

Perseus · Parfums de Marly
I once worked in an upscale hotel as a chef. One day as we were prepping for a service I was assigned to compose a sample scallop dish. I started with a few citrus fruits. Grapefruit, blood oranges
Erin S
Lilacs & Gooseberries · Shay Blue London
This always makes me feel like I’ve just gotten out of a warm shower AND had a spa treatment. The levels of ‘clean’ with this are on another level, despite the notes alluding to a far more floral
Logan Joanne
Vétiver Overdrive · L'Orchestre Parfum
This is a fav from a fav house. It’s rainy here today, gloomy. This masculine leaning, woody vetiver is slightly spicy. It makes me think of being in the south riding in a truck in the blue dusky
Jakey
Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme · Chanel
Wanted something to liven me up this morning. This is pretty good — the best Allure Homme I’ve tried — but it still has this distinct Chanel “designer” smell that I don’t love. All the Chanel men’s

Guilty Absolu de Parfum pour Homme · Gucci
So, the moment this scent entered my nostrils, I knew I was a fan. Then, as the fragrance journey continued, I realized the sweetness from the orange blossom was spicy too; then, a leather note that
Ivana
Dark Vanilla · Montale
Okay, so I finally tried this. First on paper, then on skin. I get strong oud, leather (maybe suede) and vanilla that is very dry and powdery for the lack of better words. I only did two sprays on my

Velvet Zafferano · Dolce & Gabbana
Someone please help me because I am going to be broke soon. I received this in the mail this weekend and I have just been obsessing over each scent. Every one of these is just perfect for me. I

Madurai · Memo Paris
Thanks to @oldleaves for reminding me that I had a travel of this still to try. Fresh, clean, juicy peach, nice and bright with the bergamot, sweetened with the tuberose, on a creamy jasmine and

Orange X Santal · Essential Parfums
This one is sadly not for me. The orange is too bitter, the sandalwood is not creamy enough, and it's just not working with my skin chemistry. In theory I love these notes but something is missing.

Gris Charnel · BDK Parfums
Tea and coffee are two of my favorite notes. Today I have comparisons between bdk's Gris Charnel EDP vs Extrait, and Montale's Intense Cafe EDP vs Ristretto Intense Cafe. Gris Charnel - Opened up
Dusk.
Mardi Gras · Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes
Trying to decide if I need to get more of this now that my sample is almost gone. It is not a crowd pleaser, it is intense musky honeyed orange blossom and it’s not really *me* - this is some serious

Tolu · Ormonde Jayne
Going out with my husband and his family member who is visiting from out of the country. Tolu is in my opinion cozy, but a little unique. It’s one of my most complimented scents by other people, so I

Honey · Marc Jacobs
I know this fragrance is retired but I found a full bottle for sale on Ruelala for $36 and decided to blind buy it! Such a good decision, this fragrance is lovely and perfect for spring/summer. It

Torino25 · Xerjoff
Two things come to mind when I smell this: lemons and new suede car interior. The leather accord is a bit harsh but also kind of muted, so it’s not too overwhelming. Apparently this is similar to
