Acqua di Sale · Profumum Roma
Really love how salty this one is. After reading several reviews and watching videos about just how strong and natural this one was i blind bought it about 6 months ago after getting Acqua Viva.

Flora Gorgeous Orchid Intense · Gucci
It's Friday and I wanted to treat myself, so after a long and hot day of work, I decided to go to Ulta for a little sniffari! I've been wanting to smell some new releases, and every store I go to is
April
Future Memories · Byredo
First impression: reminds me of Musc Terrible, another one of QB’s recent creations for the JPG private line. Similar spiced vanilla musk profile but this one has a lot more intrigue with a bite of

Ilm · Xerjoff
Stanky? Yes. A stunning tribute to the infinite facets of oud. Also yes! This has several different kinds of oud, and you can tell - the funk is a mix of barnyard and cheesy alongside more

Shalimar Souffle de Parfum · Guerlain
I genuinely don’t see any relation between this and Shalimar. Likely just a marketing move? I also genuinely don’t care, and consider this a masterpiece in its own right. There is a musky, masculine

MEM · Bogue
This is the 3rd Rogue I’ve tried and like the other two I’m impressed. This is herbal/bitter with lavender and galbanum. It’s classified as an oriental fougere on one fragrance website. It reminds me

Comme Un Carrousel · Strangers Parfumerie
Wow this is deliciously spicy, boozy, and smoky!!! The ginger, rum, and cola as an opening is stunningly effervescent but creates the kind of spiciness that I want to be enveloped by. Whispers of
Marta
Orange Marmalade · Jo Malone
A bright, uplifting unisex fragrance. It opens with a burst of fresh orange peel, followed by bitter orange. As it settles, there's a subtle herbal touch of clary sage and woody nuance, which nudges

Bergamote Fantastico Extrait 11 · Guerlain
I decanted all the extraits last night from the sample pack into atomizers so that they will be easier to use than in the dabber bottles they are packaged in. I even made a seventh decant with 1ml of
Starling
Mulan · Bath & Body Works
My boyfriend said it smells fresh and fruity like a cool breeze on a warm summer day. I really didn't expect these two to layer as well as they do, but I always know they've hit the mark when my

Velvet Violet · Dries van Noten
Second day wearing this one and it’s intoxicating. I really love it. I keep putting my nose to my chest because really can’t get enough- whatever it is, I don’t care at this point, violet, sesame

Original Vetiver · Creed
The one that started it all for me. This is my second bottle of OV, I wore this nearly exclusively minus some samples for 3-4 years. I will always have a heart for this fragrance. The wildly grassy

Light Blue pour Homme Capri in Love · Dolce & Gabbana
The pepper in the opening and the fig really make for a great experience. I love that it smells fresh to me even though it doesn’t have any of the traditional citrus or aquatic notes. In my skin it
Elle
Prada Paradoxe Virtual Flower · Prada
Got this as a free sample with an order and it’s not horrible or anything but I just don’t get why Prada Paradoxe is so popular! This one is a tiny bit more enjoyable but I couldn’t say why…

Cape Wrath · BeauFort London
The brutality of late July-early August always surprises me… in the way that a narcissistic person surprises you when they do something outlandishly selfish. We of more even temper assume unawares

Sublime · Jean Patou
It’s delicious. Amber odyssey screaming from the mountain tops, backed by a traditional floral bouquet— a Kerleo/Patou special! Then we get the growl of Vetiver and mossy/woody/musky notes. This is

First Peach of the Season · Imaginary Authors
I discovered that I love peach as a note so I am exploring peach fragrances (cherry too). Today I’m trying the IA version and it’s… just ok. My favourite peach scent is The Dangerous Peach by

Si Passione Red Musk · Giorgio Armani
Coffee! With a friend! Without my toddler?!?! Incredible. Wanted something a bit brighter and fruity today while still having enough richness and depth to warm the cold air. I don't always feel like
Global Warning
XJ 1861 Zefiro · Xerjoff
There is a sinister feeling to it, the spicy opening makes it special to me, and surely “ewww” inducing fot many people thanks to the spicy power of cardamom / cinnamon — for me is normal, I grow

You · Glossier
Time for bed and I'm wearing another one of my favorite sleep scents. I enjoy Glossier You very much. I have smelled all the flankers but to me the original is the best. This one is reserved for
Parfumeuse
Sundays in Rio · Sol de Janeiro
Feels like soaking in golden hour just a little longer and there's nowhere else you'd rather be. The creamy vanilla, delicate champaca, amber and musk wraps everything in a smooth warmth that's

Velvet Violet · Dries van Noten
Granted, it's 110F (~43C) where I live and I just let this cool off before giving it a first sniff. I got a beautiful whiff of violets which were quickly TRAMPLED by super ambers so strong it singed

For Him · Narciso Rodriguez
Post-rain morning, and it will get warm later, so I'm bringing this out. Violet leaf and musk are very strong in this one. I don't really get the "wet concrete" vibe from it; to me, it smells like a

Casino · Brown Girl Jane
The last one in the BGJ discovery set is Casino (as I've already done a write up on High Tea previously). I already have a travel size of this, and I'm glad I do. This is a rich, syrupy, dessert-like
