Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere · Chanel
This is just the best version of No. 5 I’m sorry I’m saying it loud and I’m saying it proud the extrait is not great. It rivals the vintage EDT but CN5EP (I ain’t writing all that) is a determined

Nio · Xerjoff
Bright bergamot and neroli at first spritz! One of the few neroli forward fragrances that I enjoy. Sadly the bergamot dries down quickly and the neroli and "green notes" develop into a fascinating

Mémoire d’une Odeur · Gucci
I love this fragrance so much and I'm so sad it was discontinued because I've never smelled anything else like it. The Roman Chamomile offers a clean herbal feel with a slight botanical lean, while

Angel’s Trumpet · Heretic Parfum
This is not necessarily an easy wear, but of the fragrances I sniffed yesterday at a niche perfume shop, this is what I gravitated most towards. I ended up getting the Heretic Season of the Witch

Absolu Aventus · Creed
I have soured on the job somewhat, but I am eternally grateful for having the structure and overall community over the last year and change. I will miss my boss and many (not all) of my coworkers.

Chanel No 5 Eau Premiere (2015) · Chanel
I'm going to be around a lot of women who enjoy a good perfume, purse, spa day today, and this choice was obvious. The flower notes are lush, the vanilla/musk base evens it out beautifully. And this

Molecule 01 + Iris · Escentric Molecules
First Impressions: Opens as a dry, cold and woody Iris. After a few minutes the Molecule 01 warms on my skin, releasing its sweet and other worldly floral scent. Very nice indeed. Though it leaves me

Arabians Tonka · Montale
Another run, another sample. I bought a few Montale/Mancera samples without looking at the notes and they all have rose in them. I need to see if they do any orientals without rose. Anyway, this one

Queens & Monsters · Henry Rose
…however, I’ve been trying to stay open. This one has intrigued me, but I’ve been afraid of that vanilla note. Came across a mini at a salvage store (TJ Maxx in the US), and after some intriguing

Lucky Alchemy (March 2025) · Alkemia Perfumes
Started beautifully green & fresh, but turned heavily spiced — as in cloves or cinnamon — after about an hour, and the spice built in intensity over time. I think I tend to over apply oils, and will
OliveEyes
Dolce Amalfi · Xerjoff
Only rarely do I wear it, but it's a delight every time. A unique, juicy fruitiness, spicy incense, and a quasi-gourmand balsamic vanilla. I see the Juicy Fruits chewing gum comparison, but it's not

Torino21 · Xerjoff
Loved this one the first time I smelled it. Very up lifting and refreshing fragrance. I know many people complain of a tooth paste smell but I get none of that. Doesn't last as long as some Xerjoffs

Isola Blu · Roja London
Trying this one again. I’m not getting as overtly soapy of a vibe today as last time. Tons of citrus. I do get some tart apple which is nice. The lavender is certainly a key player, and I need to

Rinse Cycle · Noyz
Celebrating that the Dedcool Xtra Milk Body Lotion has restocked by slathering it on liberally. Rationing it has been so rough lol I tried Rinse Cycle on several times at the store and finally caved
Quacadile
Signature · Montblanc
I decided to wear Montblanc signature for it's sweet yet slightly soapy vibe which calms me and I definitely needed that today. I tried layering it with Infrad Luxe, a sweeter take on Vanilla Powder

Bleu Piscine · Réservation
I was worried this would be a chlorinated aquatic, but a pre sample sneaky whiff when this arrived told me to set this aside for a bedtime sample. And wow! This is a beautiful blend of citrus, green

Anelo · Pernoire
My brother and I are collectors and we both buy and sell fragrances we no longer use to each other all the time (lol). He sold me this one on a steal so I had to take it in a blind buy! It's very

Liam · Lattafa
I ordered this so I could mature it in my closet until fall, but the inaugural spray went on my wrists bc we’re inside in air conditioning the rest of the day. It smells mature already and very very
Tea Leaf
Neroli Portofino · Tom Ford
I have a 2ml sample of this I’ve had lying around for months and I finally spritzed it. Got childhood-level déjà vu and couldn’t place it, so I shoved my wrist in my sister’s face to ask her opinion.

Prodigy · Mind Games
The first time I tested this I LOVED it. When I put it on today I wasn’t as wowed as the first time. I still like it, but this is why I get the 2ml samples. A regional manager of Mind Games happened

Azonto · Montagne Parfums
Honestly this is MILES better than the Dossier dupe, Montagne's quality is insanely high for the price. When it dries a little it sticks to skin in a perfect mix of floral, woody, earthy and ambery

Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée · Hermès
This is one of my favorite perfumes of all time and one that I got very early into my journey. It’s so lovely - bright and bracing with a great balance of citrus and woodsiness. Perfect for spring

Eau des Sens Eau de Toilette · Diptyque
Going to a few appointments this morning then back home to relax 😊 Eau Des Sens seemed like a great pick. It's a sunny, natural, "whole orange tree" in a bottle experience. Lots of bitter orange

Seahorse · Zoologist Perfumes
This one is not for me! Generally I’m not a fan of marine scents. On the surface this is a nice enough masculine aquatic. However…there’s an unsettling, animalic undercurrent (probably from the algae
