Scents of the day, with the moment they were worn in.
April
The Manoeuvres of the Baroness · Penhaligon's
Somehow, orange blossom or neroli mixed with vanilla/sweet/creamy notes come off as corn chippy 🌽 to my nose. This happened to me with Maison d’ETTO Verdades, PDM Oriana, Memo Paris Sintra, and BDK
The Duchess
Sweet Ash · Snif
I used to wear a benefit perfume called my place or yours Gina. It’s long discontinued. I found an old reddit comment I made that mentioned that this was a dupe or at least close, and decided to give
Mombod26
Studied · Liis
This is one of the few Liis scents I’ve tried that has descent staying power on my skin. It opens with a really pretty pear note and dries down in a way that is almost reminiscent of vanilla on my
Chloe
Angélique Noire · Guerlain
Finished up this beauty tonight. Nice everything shower, cyklar vanilla verve body balm and perfume oil, eos cashmere vanilla body lotion, all topped with Angelique noir. Absolutely gorgeous. Hate
Aromaink
Ex Vetiver · Juliette Has a Gun
I really love wearing this one. There’s something so fresh and uplifting about it. The citrusy brightness, that beautiful green vetiver, and a soft woody warmth underneath. I know it’s marketed with
Altfraghead
Ombré Leather (2018) · Tom Ford
Layered ombre leather with Reyanne Wild 2. The honeyed tobacco and cocoa from the first fragrance provide a rich, gourmand-leaning foundation that softens the sharp, animalic bite of the leather. The
OliveEyes
High Tea · Burberry
Followed by my favourite part - a stony, mineralic, unburnt incense stick on a bed of clean white musks. I'll be heading back to Bvlgari later for another round of Le Gemme sampling, so wanted
Marcela
Acne Studios · Frederic Malle
I finally received the Acne Studios decant I’ve ordered a couple of weeks ago. Inspired by @curlyhen and @oliveeyes94 - you both described it SO well! It’s only been applied for about 3h, so let’s
victoria
Baccante · Alkemia Perfumes
This ended up being a great choice for resting after a long work day. First impressions: blueberry, ivy, lavender. I don’t get any of the dirtier notes (not yet anyway). It’s very soothing! I’m on a
Meg
Eyes Closed · Byredo
So, I know it’s nowhere on the scent notes, but to me, this smells like spiced figgy pudding. With the final days of winter bleeding away into spring over here, it seemed like a perfect wear for the
Cale_Dooper
Untamable · Imaginary Authors
Alright this juice is buck wild. Like it actually smells wild and untamed. A cowboy riding a horse in the Wild West, middle of summer, 100 degrees and humid. Then he takes the saddle off. Immediately
Brian
Un Jardin en Méditerranée · Hermès
Absolutely gorgeous. Un Jardin en Méditerranée feels like relaxing in the shade of a ripe fig tree somewhere along the Mediterranean coast. The fig is juicy and naturally sweet, but balanced by a
K&P
Sweet Ginger · Olfactory House
Since I’m spending the hot day at home with AC, I am playing around with this fall scent. One arm is just Sweet Ginger, my other arm was first slathered in my Man Bar Tobacco Spice lotion to add more
Ivana
Libre Santal Couture · Yves Saint Laurent
I was really excited about this one. I adore sandalwood, so I was sure this was going to be the best Libre flanker ever. Well... It's not bad but it's kinda... boring maybe?! I don't know. The
Fraggle_L
Provence · Nissaba
Hard to adequately describe this one: it's herbal, aromatic, fresh... almost cool feeling like you get with cucumber (and it has something that's reminiscent of a crisp, botanical gin that's been
Big Em
Prada Paradoxe Intense · Prada
Just got this in the mail and omg.... it has to be one of my new favorites. I can't get enough of it. Pear is one of my top favorite notes, and all the florals are robust and thick. This will also be
Avalon
Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic · Guerlain
It's quickly warming up here so I wanted something light and mild for a beachside hangout, possibly some rockhounding. I have a review of this that I posted elsewhere and I'll try to remember to
Steve
Pegasus · Parfums de Marly
Well, my planned day off just got canceled. I had picked Pegasus as something fun to wear, and wasn’t expecting to be around people, but I guess the Fates had other plans for me today. It’s going to
Chronic Oversprayer
Blouse · Yves Saint Laurent
Unplanned visit to nordstrom after a post-work appointment. Smelled so many blotters and picked up a few samples, then accidentally sprayed this on my hand. It’s gorgeous! Sales rep made me a decant
Avion21
Santal Calling · Ex Nihilo
I’ve been trying to find an alternative to my love of santal blush. I tried a decant of Santal Calling by ex Nikhil today, and while it is delicious, it’s way creamier and milkier than I expected. I
Mombod26
Raving Rose · Dries van Noten
Peppery rose with a clean musky backbone. The notes list “rosewater”, but my nose picks up the rose/aquatic scent as slightly more green mandarin rind/pith? Maybe that’s pink pepper. It’s not a sharp
roofshadow
Cherry Ambition · The 7 Virtues
This was the scent that introduced me to cherry and it’s still probably my favourite cherry of the ones I’ve tried. You have to like amber to appreciate this one but the combo of cherry, amber
Alaric
Incenso · Santa Maria Novella
Layered with Not a Perfume, the combination is simply irresistible. Putting the Juilette on first, I was enveloped in a lovely musky cloud - then the Incenso went on in a burst of -- sawdust? Hwhat??
OliveEyes
Gyan · Bvlgari
Gyan (skin): I was expecting this to be a rich, full-bodied patchouli, sweetened with lush white florals and given a subtle citrusy freshness, but it's more like a "white-shirt" scent to me - clean
