Delina · Parfums de Marly
What a busy day. I didn't have even a minute at work to post my morning SOTD! Anyways, I'm back home now, so here we go. I am not the biggest PDM fan, as I find their scents a bit synthetic, and most

Alexandria II Anniversary · Xerjoff
Reading reviews of this elsewhere you would think this was the final boss of barnyard oud but on first spray I’m a little perplexed - there is some funky oud in there that makes this more complex

Figment Man · Amouage
When I smell this fragrance I immediately picture the painting by Rousseau called The Snake Charmer. The snake charmer stands at the edge of the jungle playing a flute. They’re wearing an animal skin

Consort · Boadicea the Victorious
This opens orange, citrus, slight cream, soft sweetness with woody notes and a raspiness like Macy Gray's speaking voice. This is in the vein of the 2 above but opens much better with a realistic

God of Fire · Stephane Humbert Lucas 777
Trying again to decide if I want to buy a bottle. It is quite delicious and fun. The performance is definitely so so, though. The scent largely calms down after 3-4 hours although I do still get

Thank U, Next · Ariana Grande
Berries, coconut, and enough wood to keep it from feeling like a body mist. It’s so likable and happy (and if you get rid of the weird broken heart part of the bottle, it’s in inconspicuous on the

Elephant Sanctuary Edition · Zoologist Perfumes
This is my second wear of my sample. I have to say, I like it more this time around. The first time, I wrote it off as a simple floral fragrance. This time, I find it honeyed and a little smoky. I

Poppy & Barley · Jo Malone
If James Blunt can laugh at himself then I’m joining in… The last remaining spray today. I have reached the end. It’s a rare occurrence for me to empty a bottle. I whizzed through my first bottle in

Dem · Régalien
A beautiful tea scent that unfortunately gets written off as just an Imagination clone. While there are similarities it’s definitely different. I have seen some say it’s like a cross between

Casa Blanca · House of Bo
I know this house is now controversial for their pricing and using influencers to sell. Idk, I’ve worked in marketing and I’ve seen way worse. Not that it’s an excuse. But it’s a good frag, I already
Tea Leaf
Madeleine Impériale · Juliette Has a Gun
I wanted to like her so much, but the opening is like wet leather to me, with a sharpness behind it that I think is the saffron/oud trying for the premier spot. I only get the dessert notes in the

Zodiac Solmaris · Paris Corner
Shit still rocks, my Uber driver yesterday was talking with me about cologne so I left him check out this bottle, he sprayed it on himself and took a picture so he could buy it. Its good stuff, I

A Little Secret · Imaginary Authors
On to my next cherry test! I definitely like this better than Carmina yesterday, but to me it reads SWEET. I get a sweet, syrupy, slightly artificial cherry pie. The rum and marzipan really lean into

Colonia Essenza · Acqua di Parma
As we hit day 4 of revisit week I came back to Colonia Essenza. A slightly more modern take on one of the classics my grandfather wore. When I spay this I find it too neroli forward for my tastes but

No 22 Parfum · Chanel
Icarus’s wings would melt if he wore No. 22, as it flies close to the sun— not in an ozonic way, but in a delightful bright superdose of aldehydes. No. 22 has the best mix of aldehydes out of any

Chameleon · Zoologist Perfumes
I let the app pick for me since I hadn’t worn anything in a minute. It’s been a fun way to pick which “testing” scent to test. I love this frag. Not too fruity, just enough to compliment the florals

Câline · Jean Patou
This is amazing. It is in Roudnitska’s style. His only release with the rotting fruit accord was Femme by Rochas and it was a cumin-overripe peach sort of thing. Possibly, these are unrelated, but I

40 Knots · Xerjoff
The opening of 40 Knots is a little odd and stays close to the skin, but the drydown is sensational and radiates with vigour. We’re standing at the harbour, waiting to board our yacht. A salty sea
Dusk.
Tucson · Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes
I’ll be honest, I have no idea what any of these notes are supposed to smell like: “ponderosa pine, Southwest juniper, acacia, sagebrush, and chaparral.” But I like it! The opening is a little

Casablanca · Brown Girl Jane
After all the sugary scents in the discovery set, Casablanca came as a bit of a surprise. This is a quiet, musk-heavy, soapy, slightly sweet skin scent. It smells like if Glossier You and L'Eau

Blanche Bête · Liquides Imaginaires
Decided to retry this one since haven’t touched my sample in at least a year. Sadly, I’m still not a fan. I don’t love indolic white florals and I’m not particularly into laconic scents, so it’s no

God of Fire · Stephane Humbert Lucas 777
Wow this smells delicious. Mango, lemon, with a touch of ginger in the opening. What a tasty opening. The dry down is a bit less fruity, but still there, with some semi sweet amber and a touch of

Aromatics Elixir · Clinique
Today I'm wearing an old classic for the second day in a row: Clinique Aromatics Elixir from 1971. I have serious business to do today, so I wanted a scent that makes me feel older and more competent

Naki · Pernoire
Fruity and green up top. The fruit is mild and not too sweet or loud. But something about the green and aquatic notes together just doesn’t work for me. I’m usually iffy on aquatic notes. The
