Light Blue Escape to Panarea · Dolce & Gabbana
A sun-drenched Mediterranean breeze in a bottle, made for late August warmth. US National Beach Day is August 30, this Light Blue flanker offers an effortless way to channel a coastal escape. It

L'Heure Bleue · Guerlain
Of course I did! People seem to be getting all drama llama over on other apps with comments like “Guerlain is dead’. In reality, there is no point in comparing this to the melancholic OG which

Myslf · Yves Saint Laurent
Needed something to wear. Had to throw something on. This is what I landed on. Sometimes I second guess what I put on, but as I'm typing this, my wife says, "That cologne you have on smells nice."

Aethi Opum · Maya Njie
I had been dying to try this. First impression - it smells like burning incense after a rain storm, when the ground is still damp. Cool air, damp leaves and soil. For me this is lovely! I’d love a

Black Afgano · Nasomatto
Testing Oud Paradisio earlier gave me the taste for oud, so I decided on Black Afgano tonight. No real oud to my nose, but a dark woodiness that’s first covered in resinous purple syrup, before being

Passage d'Enfer Extrême · L'Artisan Parfumeur
… Passage d’Enfer is to Episcopal Eucharist. This is my personal opinion. Not that we don’t swing the thurible around from time to time; it’s just a bit more restrained. Buttoned up. And in the

Fico di Amalfi La Riserva · Acqua di Parma
First full wearing and wowzers… this is stunning. It’s unmistakably Fico di Amalfi, but less sparkling than the EDT. The citrus feels less bright, but noticeably more tart, while the fig is woven
OliveEyes
Stellar Silk · BDK Parfums
Here are my thoughts after 8 hours on skin, a gym session and a long walk outside: Stellar Silk: A warm sandalwood and creamy orris butter. This is such a soft, gentle scent, not in terms of
Meg
Bergamusk · Heretic Parfum
Time to wind down for the evening with this citrusy, non-sweet musk. It’s surprisingly inoffensive for a Heretic number (I love Heretic’s stuff, but they’re usually delightfully odd in a slightly
HeavenScent
Amber Empire · French Avenue
I sprayed this on this morning and the first hit is that warm boozy vanilla thing mixed with some soft woody notes. It feels rich right away without being too heavy or sticky. After a few minutes the

Blindfold · L’Objet
What do you do when, despite your best efforts, you’re unable to float into dreamland? Eat snacks! Errrr…I mean….refrain from eating snacks and smell some perfume! This guy made me cringe when I
Jon
Blue Talisman Extrait · Ex Nihilo
Arrived from Mercari this morning! Got a great price on it, so I had to pull the trigger. This stuff is totally different from the kind of things I usually wear, but seemed like a good piece to add

Rosie · By Rosie Jane
Rosie by Rosie Jane is the first perfume I bought myself when I found myself getting back into scents as a full-on adult with my own big girl money. It is so me. To me, it’s dewy pink rose petals
TheineandTheobromine
Angel Dust · Fugazzi
Wore this on my skin earlier as I was cleaning my apartment and doing laundry. I love love love this skin scent, doesn’t smell too masculine to me at all. I’m considering getting the sample duo of
Frank Intense
Hacivat · Nishane
The fragrance and I both swiped right, but we’re having a rough first date. Whether it’s my skin or nose, all I smell is grapefruit. I’m not a huge fan of grapefruit. I can deal if other notes are
Paula
Lemon Island · Atelier Cologne
Atelier Cologne’s Lemon Island captures a breezy, bright tropical getaway without dipping into sugary sweetness. Created by perfumer Roderick Allein, this sun-drenched scent is officially marketed

Wood and Spices · Montale
Wood & Spices By Montale: Cardamom, black pepper, pimento, sandalwood, vetiver, ebony, incense, tobacco, vanilla Key Notes: A precious wood trio of ebony, sandalwood, and vetiver, blended with rich
Starling
Scarlet Rogue · United Scents
Both the man and I are wearing this one today. It's cool how the saffron shines on him and on me it's the sweet jasmine! This dupe of BR540 is 5 bucks, so it's a bit more linear than the 500 (here in
Lambkin
L'Heure Bleue · Guerlain
I've never smelled the OG of L'Heure Bleue so I'm experiencing this new version completely blind. It's stunning. Go home haters. A month from now you all will be swooning over this. I was concerned
Zyggy Stardust
Copal Azur · Aedes de Venustas
The hubs wore Copal Azur today and I wore Honour Woman earlier — as the scents mingled, he mentioned enjoying smelling the two together, so I thought why not try it? They're fairly pleasant together
Mombod26
Neon Garden · Dries van Noten
On first spray I get green mandarin peel and a refreshing bit of mint - it is super bright, uplifting, and refreshing! It quickly shifts to an iris/ambroxen bomb, which to my nose smells like 1990s
Frankie
Beat Cafe · Jusbox
First foray into Jusbox. I liked this a lot better on paper. Resprayed and we’ll see. I know I’m gonna sound like an asshole, but I’m not into kitschy branding like this. I feel the same way about
Alaric
How to Say Bicycle in French · Imaginary Authors
This scent is well outside my wheelhouse, but I'm delighted with it! It opens light and citrusy and a little green, and dries down to a subtle spicy floral, ideal for a hot day. It's literally like

Angel Etoile Mystique · Mugler
I have now secured 60mL of this and 105mL of the OG Winter Star Extrait of Angel and I feel extremely safe. A brief esníf: It’s good. It starts very earthy and dirty but refined. This isn’t the same
