Scents of the day, with the moment they were worn in.
OliveEyes
High Tea · Burberry
The scent of steam rising from a pot of herbal tea in a field of wildflowers. The opening leans feminine, but gradually shifts as white musks and unlit incense wisp around a base of mineralic

Grand Soir · Maison Francis Kurkdjian
As part of my culture we have something called a Mathuram Veppu. Before a wedding, the Bride’s family and the Groom’s family will feed sweets to them as away of introducing joy into their marriage. I

Gypsy Water · Byredo
It's raining out all day today and it is also Day 5 of me trying out the Byredo discovery set! This one is very nice. In the air and on paper, it's a lovely sweet lemony scent with some woods. On

Porcelain · Perdrisât
Off to craft with a handful of my buddies this arvo! Today is spinning for me, which means my arm will be constantly passing my nose. I cannot conceive of a time when I will not be utterly besotted
Docwannabox
Dune Drifter · Vive Perfume
Testing the scent I bought from last week's exhibition in Bangkok. I had a sinus infection that day, so my scent perception was a bit altered, but this one managed to catch my attention. It opens
sniff squeak
Angel Stellar · Mugler
I haven’t made up my mind yet, I’m still sick so it’s hard to smell and that might be why. But I think I like it so far. There is a heavy woodiness probably patchouli that is throwing me off but I
Maya!
Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk 22 · Kayali
My god is it sweet! Straight up buttery salted caramel and white chocolate. Very decadent. Unsure how I feel about it, will need to wear it a few more times in different weather I think. The name is

Pioggia Moderata · Filippo Sorcinelli
Opens with a blast of mold that evolves towards damp earth. I used to work in a microbiology research lab, and this could totally be the smell of a plate of bacteria isolated from the soil. There’s

Indigo · Nest
I’ve wanted to wear test this forever and I finally am! It’s somehow not what I expected. I thought it would be sweeter from the fig and maybe spicier from the tea, but instead it opens very bright
Elle
Angel Blush · Mugler
This is a very pretty scent but strays a little too far from Angel EDP which I simultaneously love and also don’t love because of the very intense patchouli. Which flanker is closer to the OG while

Lucius · Fragrance du Bois
Spicy, a bit citrusy, smooth with amber and tonka. I sprayed this and was immediately reminded of Ex Nihilo Speed Legends Night Drive. Looking at the notes, they have a lot of overlap and are both by

Hombre · Aaron Terence Hughes
Clean, fresh, and masculine. I usually opt for frags that are a little more fun and youthful (I have no issues wearing Imagination, MYSLF, Blue Talisman, etc) but today I wanted to try something

Phoenix Oolong · Uttori
Testing a perfume I've had for about six months but haven't had the nerve to wear. I get photorealistic darkly oxidized oolong tea plus spices and dried fruit. Honey but not sweet. Mellows a lot in
Dusk.
Poems One Through Twelve · Universal Flowering
Mixed feelings. There’s a kind of a scratchy harsh note here similar to what I got in Blackbird - it’s not any of the listed notes, maybe part of the ginger accord? It’s not as gourmand as I

LouLou · Cacharel
This smells incredible but very different pre and post 2003. A powerhouse. We are pro-slut here please! We ❤️ slutty smell For pre-2003 it is a sparkling fruity jasmine/iris bomb. The combo is
ENari
Existence · Amouage
Wearing it on a trip to the Met in NYC. It’s a pretty one that feels clean with great longevity. Beautiful, sparkly lily of the valley + frankincense. I get a mental picture of a white, cloudy fog

Moth · Zoologist Perfumes
It was a rough day, but the ending was great! Went shopping with @marsyas and impulse bought this. Yes- it's super weird. Yes- I feel like I've become one with ghosts. Yes- I feel like I smell like a

Cosmic Intense · Kylie Jenner
Just got this in the post this afternoon. I knew I was going to like this based on my feelings for OG Cosmic and the notes, so this was an extremely confident, straight to 100ml blind buy. I am happy

La Vie est Belle Vanille Nude · Lancome
For the toddler with Mum friends. But when your son is a shy little guy who spends the first 3/4 of the time sitting on your lap, munching on halloumi and avocado, you need something soft, gentle and
Old Leaves
Tears Of Iris Eau de Parfum · Gucci
Soft, powdery, and herbal. The iris is lovely and it’s very smooth. I’m not sure I would reach for it over other irises I like. I’ve enjoyed several of the fragrances from the Alchemist line but my

AEOM · Aura Perfume
I accidentally had this sorted in my samples collection in the wrong spot. I reached for it thinking it would be a soft, skin like musk. Much to my surprise I got a strong boozy oud which is actually

Eau de Star · Mugler
It’s been a loooong time since I last wore (tried) this. I remember not loving it as much as I wanted, but I think was used to Angel in all her heady, rich glory!! Revisiting this now, and wow - the

1000 · Jean Patou
Heard that 1000 was discontinued so I decided to blind buy it. Price was so inexpensive and so happy I took the chance! I love perfume from this era (I have a 30 year old bottle of Joy bbut buying

Moon Magic · Sorce
I’m wearing this again today because I’m trying to figure out if I like it enough to upsize. The answer is still inconclusive. It’s the perfect fall coffee shop date scent, but I don’t know how often
