XJ 1861 Zefiro · Xerjoff
Zefiro is sublime, and so overlooked amidst its Xerjoff siblings. The elemi/wine/citrus opening is a little sharp, but it quickly transforms into warm spices, lacquered wood and honeyed incense. It

Light Blue · Dolce & Gabbana
The air quality in Minnesota has been bad lately, so we have literally done nothing except be homebodies. When it’s days like these, I tend to relax my grip on my perfumes and either let the daily
Kimberly
Corail Oscuro · Diptyque
Grabbed corail oscuro because I needed a pick me up. It’s been a doozy and now one of our guinea pigs isn’t doing well, so that adds to the craziness that this week has brought. Hospital visit

Chance Eau Splendide · Chanel
So, I am trying a new to me perfume, Chanel Chance Eau Splendide, way back when Chance, just Chance was new I was ALL ABOUT IT! I LOVED that perfume! ( I used it up, and all these years later have

Pomelo Paradis · Atelier Cologne
Now that my job is over, it’s time to start packing and cleaning. That includes taking inventory of all my clothes and selling off a large amount of my perfumes that I simply don’t want anymore. What

Carnivale · Brown Girl Jane
Finally got around to opening the sample set. I was waiting for BGJ to update the perfumes in the set to their current website offerings (the set at Sephora is the older version, and contains several

La Rose · Mugler
My favorite version of Angel. I feel that the original Angel lacks enough depth as a result of the muddy gourmand patchouli thing. The contrast of a deep, fruity rose is exactly the counterpoint
Ivana
Bois d'Ebene · Matière Première
This is actually very smooth and soft, almost airy, despite it being woody and spicy at the same time. Maybe a bit overpriced for what it is but definitely pleasant. I was given a sample because I

Dior Homme (2020) · Dior
I think this is one of the most perfect fragrances ever made, not in hyperbole. The balance between thr woody notes and thr musk is elegant and absolutely fantastic. This is my absolute favorite

At the Beach · Bath & Body Works
Used my At the Beach body wash In the shower this AM so figured I’d go full throttle with the matching frag. Turns out the version I have is a “diamond shimmer mist,” so I’m lighting up the office
StickyLabRat
Metal Rain · Banana Republic
Heading to the gym for some light biking rehab. Metal Rain is perfect for it, given its low projection and longevity. It's very pleasant, doesn't smell as cheap as it is ($12USD for 30ml), and is

No̱ 8 · Fischersund
I've gone through an entire 5ml bottle of this already and I'm on my second 5ml bottle, but I still have a hard time describing this fragrance other than saying I LOVE IT! Fischersund uses notes and
AgileMastodon
Hidden Fantasy · Britney Spears
I went with one I wouldn’t normally wear in hot, humid weather, but I’ll be indoors in air conditioned offices. This is beautifully citrusy in the opening, with hardly any spice at all. Don’t let the
Cat
Lazy Sunday Morning · Maison Margiela
I've been trying to decide whether I like Lazy Sunday Morning or Bubble Bath better because they are probably similar enough to not need both in my collection. I'm lacking a really good "clean" scent
roofshadow
Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic · Guerlain
This opens so bright and sparkly! It’s not sweet to me at all, or juicy like Atelier Orange Sanguine. Much less herbal than Clementine California. I find it so energizing and refreshing without being
Lara’s Scents
Rosa Moceniga Elixir · The Merchant of Venice
Oh this bangs. Fell in love with it on first sniff in Trieste and couldn’t stop thinking about it. It is such a staple in my collection, cannot be without it. Best projecting elegant rose feminine

Molecule 01 + Guaiac Wood · Escentric Molecules
First Impressions: Opens with a blast of Tayto Smoky Bacon crisps. Now if you’ve never tasted this savoury, snackity, culinary delight, you’re in for a treat.. but do I want to smell like sweet
Old Leaves
Bella Tropicale · Oscar de la Renta
I’ve wanted to get my nose on both of these for a little while now. Came across them in the wild and went for it lol. One on one arm, one on the other. They’re tropical and bright, fun for summer if

B-612 · Nishane
Fougères have never been a profile I've particularly enjoyed on my own skin, but there are exceptions to every rule. All the classic components are here: fresh lavender, rich oakmoss, a touch tonka
Dusk.
Lost in A Sundrenched Garden · Arcana Wildcraft
Weirdly this has a strong resemblance to Muguet Porcelain on my skin, there’s an edge almost like a melon rind that is identical and a similar silky floral quality. I get the expected notes

Vanilla Skin · Phlur
Got a sample from Sephora from an online order - I couldn’t believe it. They almost never send you a perfume sample when you ask for it! I like to think I’m super discerning with vanilla/gourmand
Tea Leaf
Coach Love Eau de Parfum · Coach
Had a sample sent of this as a free gift, and I’d ignored it for ages. I’m not sure about others’ experience with it but my skin gobbled this up within half an hour, leaving it a skin scent only. It

Tropiques · Fragrance du Bois
Tropical up front. Mango, citrus, maybe peach? Airy and slightly sweet. I feel like I’m going nose blind to this one quickly. My nose really gets nuked with these fruity musky scents. I haven’t found

Come · Bogue
Just got this for a deal on eBay and I think it’s outstanding. Morphs constantly. It’s meant to be all shades of green and it does this so interestingly. Smells of Cade oil, smoke, geranium, jasmine
