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

L'Imperatrice Royale · Dolce & Gabbana
I'm working in close proximity with someone else today so I picked this as an inoffensive scent. This is a mostly sweet, slightly tart, juicy cranberry with a prominent cedar note. The cedar is woody

Les Alpes · Nissaba
Such a nice one! I had a very quick sniff when it arrived but I had been on an intense sniffari that afternoon and my nostrils were STAINED so it didn't sit well with me at that time. But I really

Molecule 01 + Patchouli · Escentric Molecules
The last one in the series lol. First impressions: opens with a blast of pure unadulterated, earthy and potent patchouli… and I’m glad I sampled this on a WFH day. It reminds me of my teenage days

Guerlain Homme Eau de Parfum (2016) · Guerlain
I really enjoy this one. The light and fizzy mojito opening feels clean and gets me moving. The floral heart is just easy to enjoy and the soft wood finish helps me wind down the day. Guerlain Homme

Oud Khôl · Guerlain
Well, this were immediate scrubs lol. I try them both and wore for about 20 mins before getting some rubbing alcohol, and then soap and water. Oud Khol smells like dirty diapers to put it nicely…. I

Ivory Route · Xerjoff
This might be my favorite vanilla fragrance. The sandalwood and vanilla in the base are the most prominent notes, and overall this has a very classy vanilla/Christmas candle vibe to me. Vanilla so

Journey Woman · Amouage
I have a 2018 bottle of this and it’s one of my favorite florals. Creamy but not overly indolic. Has stonefruit notes but isn’t a super-fruity floral. Osmanthus is framed with rich honeyed jasmine

Nosferatu · Heretic Parfum
I picked up Heretic Nosferatu after it was suggested by multiple fragheads in the FB fragcomm when I asked for petrichor recommendations. I was nervous that it would be nauseating because of some

Chalet · Brown Girl Jane
Back to the BGJ discovery set! Third in the lineup is Chalet, a boozy, (sickeningly) sweet chocolate scent. The opening is a certified sugar bomb. The champagne note is very strong - boozy, dry

Exit The King · Etat Libre D'Orange
This arrived last night. I gave it a dab and wrote a few thoughts: An old-school masculine soap. A little rosy, a little mossy, a slight peppery kick. It reminds me of Mousse Illuminee, but not so

Ex'cla-ma'tion · Coty
I bought this last year for nostalgic value only. I wanted to know if it still smelt like I remember.. my entire school year smelt like a nuclear exclamation scent cloud at one stage. I thought I

Ocean Rain · Valentino
It’s Edmond “rotten fruit” Roudnitska’s final contribution to the world of perfumery and it’s a flop! At least as far as the big companies are concerned— to me this is emblematic of the inevitable

Opus Kore · Vilhelm Parfumerie
Slowly sampling everything Vilhelm has to offer. I honestly don’t know how I feel about this frag. Haven’t been wearing it for very long, but it smells like it’s missing something. Have a big

Soleil Blanc · Tom Ford
Needing something easy today. I’m getting pretty deep into marathon training, and I’m tired. I’m outside in the swelter quite a lot, and Soleil Blanc feels like even more sun - but this is a

Myslf · Yves Saint Laurent
Six Flags season ticket holder, so I'm taking my sons out for the day for roller coasters and fun. Warm day, sunshine, queues & lines, close quarters. I needed something easy with mass appeal.

Premier Figuier · L'Artisan Parfumeur
Do you know that the designer of your beloved Philosykos actually designed another fig fragrance for L’Artisan Parfumeur two years earlier? Olivia Giacobetti’s Premier Figuier (the first fig!) is the

Baie 19 · Le Labo
The unsettled weather and rain showers peaking at 23°C called for something explicitly atmospheric. Baie 19 mirrors the damp environment perfectly—it’s the literal scent of rain on dry earth

Soleil Neige (2025) · Tom Ford
Ahh, Mondays. Decided to go with something sweeter today. Soleil Neige is somewhat in the same vein as Kilian's Love Don't Be Shy - a powdery, sweet, orange blossom scent. However, it is not as
Dusk.
Sideris · Maria Candida Gentile
I’m visiting a botanical garden later today. This has rose to get me in the mood and a soft natural incense that plays beautifully against it. I’m wishing I had something a bit fresher and dewier

Cloud · Ariana Grande
I know that not everyone wants to smell perfumes on others, so I try not to make my scent cloud too "loud," so to speak—but I ain't going anywhere today, so time to turn up the volume by layering

Polish Potatoes · Bohoboco
This is supposed to smell like a bustling Polish market (the closest thing I’ve experienced to that is my Polish grandmother’s cold cellar). It totally smells like dirt-covered beets and potatoes in

Dior Homme Sport (2021) · Dior
I love this fragrance, it was my go to for a long time last winter, but its not as refined or balanced as Dior Homme. There's a sharpness from the citrus that, while nice and not offensive at all

Beau De Jour · Tom Ford
Continuing on yesterday’s adventure of trying to reconnect to some of my older bottles, Beau de Jour got the nod. I think it just got a little lost in the shuffle. This one never disappoints. Just a

Coeur Noir · Heretic Parfum
Testing the third Heretic sample from my discovery set. This is a vanillic amber. There's a bit of benzoin, some labdanum as well. It's somewhat similar to Ambre Sultan in that it's dense and
