Sticky Dates · Lush
Date Night
Unapologetically gourmand with absolutely no interest in moderation. It opens rich and syrupy, dripping in caramelized sugar and sticky-toffee sweetness. As it dries down is where it wins me over, it

Veyra · Maison Asrar
I swear I'll wear something new soon 😅
I'm just obsessed with this vanilla ease (Veyra is an obvious no-brainer being my ride or die) recently. So I had a sneaking suspicion it would pair great with my girl Vey 🤭😁 And omg it does. My
Fragrans Veritas
Sauvage Extrait · Dior
Giving this a try...
...the opening put me right off. But the dry down is not bad at all. Looking at the Sauvage line, I think this has the most in common with Eau Forte...which is the most polarizing one. Addendum

Debaser · D.S. & Durga
D.S. & Durga Debaser VS Debaser In Bloom
I've been wanting to compare these for awhile, so I'm glad I finally get to! Debaser opens with a natural, green fig leaf and stem. It is lightly sweet, but mostly green. It is just a bit sweeter and

Voyage d'Hermes Parfum · Hermès
L’heure Nostalgique
Voyage takes me back to years when I only wore a single scent. Ellena’s Voyage led me back in time to Eau Sauvage (Roudnitska) whose influence on JCE is undeniable. After that, a brief fugue passage

Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu · Chanel
Lake day
Chanel sent this to me in the cutest, tiniest bottle ever and it’s beautiful. Rich and citrusy- reminds me a bit of Parfums de Marly’s newest Anthenias but this one is but this is brighter and more

Wonderwood · Comme des Garcons
Saturday at home calls for a new test.
Much to my surprise (I love woods!!), I wasn't a huge fan of this on a blotter. There's a chemical side to the wood that I'm really turned off by. This was what I disliked on blotter and it was still
Ylang Ylang Custard
Borabora · Giardini di Toscana
I got 21 samples from Lucky Scent that I’ve tried over the past month. This week I’m revisiting the 9 that made it to the re-sniff shelf! I thought Borabora was easy to love on the first wear, and

Dear Polly · Vilhelm Parfumerie
Maybe we could do an in-person session!
I do most of my therapy sessions via Zoom, which is super convenient and saves a lot of driving time, but I so wished we had an in-person session today bc I really wanted him to smell both of these

Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver Forte · Guerlain
Morning Gardening
Had to work in the garden for a few hours. I've let it get crazy because the last thing I want to do in the weekend after being in the sun all day is... Be in the sun all day 😂 Got it all done, and

Destin · Balmain
Quiet Saturday at home with the dogs
Testing a sample of Balmain Destin. Very sweet, creamy and fruity. One spray on my forearm about an hour ago and still going strong. Interesting but not groundbreaking. I like it so far but not

Back outside
This was a bit of an impulse purchase. I really liked this one when I smelled it in store and couldn’t resist grabbing it when it popped up on a discounted. Really glad I gave in to temptation as I

Hinoki Shower · Borntostandout
Sleeper scent
I never hear anyone talking about this one from BTSO—so it make sense they pulled it. I think it’s great, especially in the morning. Some folks compare it to the Le Labo Hinoki shower gel. I wouldn’t

Morning coffee
I thought this would be a weird choice for a slow morning but it’s actually exactly what I needed. The pepper note definitely woke me up! I’m mostly getting that harsh/spicy synthetic amberwoods

Gentle Shower · Elorea
Finally, a day that it’s not supposed to break 90 degrees, and we hopefully get some rain too. This scent feels like a respite from everything heavy, not just the weather. It’s floral without being

Tubereuse 40 New York · Le Labo
City exclusive day 2
Testing Tubereuse 40 NYC today! I already have and love Lys 41 (which is tuberose forward) but this one is not similar to that. I was surprised by the tangerine note at first, it was really bright

Dolce Vita Parfum · Dior
Extraits are Always Excellent and Parfums are always Dolce ;)
I have reviewed the original 1994 release in the version for what I assume they intended is the “pores.” This type of attitude sickens me. Anyways, this is HOT. It’s more complex than Dolce Vita and
Curlyhen
Destin · Balmain
Still can’t make my mind up about this one.
I first tried this in store 5 months ago, I thought it smelt very generic and cheap but familiar, so I bought a sample to try on my skin at home and spend more time with it. This is such an odd one

Myrrhe 55 · Le Labo
City Exclusive Pt. 5
Been waiting to wear this since tester day. First impression is ambery, spicy jasmine. It is not overly indolic and comes in muddled but not dirty. Walking to the car in the humidity opened it up

Elixir · Penhaligon's
There's a typhoon rolling through Taipei
So it’s a chilled night at home for me. Elixir is a beautiful scent, and it’s a crying shame that it’s been discontinued. Mentholated rosy incense wisps through warm, gingery spices before slowly

Brazilian Lime, Fig Leaves & Tea · Beauty Pie
Swimming and the supermarket
Not a very exciting day, but don’t want to murder the other parents in the hotter than the sun viewing gallery at swimming. This is fresh and lightweight, not very long wearing but that’s ok because

Egoiste · Chanel
I’ve been missing out not having this
I love sandalwood fragrances. The material itself is so elevating and comforting, and from my experience nothing quite hits like the real deal mysore sandalwood. While this may not have the same

Musk 12 · Kayali
I fear I need a full bottle
So I got a sample of her a while ago and it just… disappeared??? Most likely my cats got ahold of it lol. Anywho I got another and ugh I LOVE HER SO MUCH. To my nose she’s gone in like 5 seconds but

Senza Tempo · Profumi di Polignano
Sensational!
Senza Tempo is dark, aromatic, and ridiculously smooth. The lavender and absinthe lead into peppery leather and tobacco before melting into a warm, almost yummy tonka, benzoin, woods, and musk in the
