First wear
Next up from my Sorce decants, English Major! I was a Molecular Biology and Genetics major but I do enjoy a good sci-fi book 🤓 First impressions: lots of orris off the bat, then it gets sweeter. Dry

City Exclusives Sampling Round 2
My method was the same: choose a few, spray them on skin, and pay attention to their development throughout the day. Here are my thoughts after 8 hours: Baie Rose 26: A zingy, earthy, peppery rose

Floating off with oaky, spicy vanilla
After finally (finally!!!) getting my first two terraced garden beds set into my front yard (no word of a lie, prep & digging for this took a solid three days), I’m winding down with one of my gentle

Sample Sunday
Sample Sunday… the opening of this immediately reminded me of a perfume that I absolutely love - Super Moon. It’s taken about 5 mins for the fig note to come through. First impressions, it’s a

28.08 Cloud Essence · Neydo
I need a full bottle of this
Every time I spray this sample, I worry about it running out. It’s such a soft, sweet, happy, cozy scent, and easily one of my favorites to wear to bed. With that said, it’s nice smelling juice in a

Couldn't resist scent mail!
So checked the mail after a long day and I got scent mail from Hyggescent where I got a bunch of decants. Picked Aphrodite from Velixir and it's a little strong for bedtime but smells nice. My first

Got this for an amazing price today!
Met up with the Youtuber "Curtis Nose" today at Tokyo Station at picked this up from him at an insanely good price! Close to a full bottle. For myself, this is the best westernized oud I've ever

Falkar · Bvlgari
My trio of 1.5ml Bvlgari Falkar arrived!
I paid a mere $200 NTD (£5) for all three, which, considering the retail price of £355 for 125ml, is quite the saving - 60% to be precise. I decanted them all into a 5ml bottle, then employed my

Breath and Shadow · Alkemia Perfumes
Today's Grab n' Go
Ducked out of the house today after throwing this on; it opens with a tart, almost mustard smell. It starts to be reminiscent of musk and mild rose after a minute or two. Update: The mustard scent

Giving it a shot
Watching Harry Potter, cinnamon vanilla candle lit, and I wanted something warm and cozy. Put on Vanilla Musk s&f oil, went with Gorgeous Orchid Intense first, then peeped my Eilish travel and wanted

Gay Oppa · KST Scent
Because sometimes I want a neo-fougère 💜. The yuzu and apple are a fun twist on the opening citrus for the fougère profile. It's more of a personal scent, which will be good for switching up later

Pegasus · Parfums de Marly
I fell out of love with this
Don’t get me wrong, it’s an amazing scent, but I have a few bottles in my collection that serve that similar purposes. My tastes have changed and I think it’s a bit too sweet for me now. This is

Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere · Chanel
Breaking the Glass Menagerie of Esníf
I broke the fucking glass on the top (not badly and I didn’t hurt myself or lose fragrance) trying to extract this because the ATOMIZER WOULD sqwert so badly all over my hands 😩 Brief Esníf: SUPER

First wear!
Bought this bottle and I’m loving it. I don’t understand the Imagination love out there, but this is what I think a tea fragrance should be. Light, bright citrus with darker tea, almost musk. And the

Gabrielle Essence · Chanel
Testing a Sample
Got a small sample of this as a gift with purchase recently. I didn't care for the original Gabrielle (from my first impressions, at least) but this one is much better. The opening is very similar to

L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme · Issey Miyake
Crisply, sharply floral
Have some guests coming over for the afternoon and dinner. Sweat and showered off the Versace Pour Homme from this morning, so I'm free to wear this one. L'eau Bleue is so unique with the biting

Still searching…
Generally not a fan of marine type fragrances, but I still like giving them a go, never know when I’ll find a winner. The coconut in this is prominent in a good way, but the rest of it just reads

Opium (1977) · Yves Saint Laurent
Performing an Opiumectomy
I had to do surgery on my bottles to get the juice out, yielding ~50mL of 1978 Opium and ~10mL of 1998 (or 1988) EDT. I have the year of release and it is softer than these two. If you know Opium

Wear 4 - confident I have a full picture
This one is incredible smelling and the reviews say 8-12 hours of longevity… that’s not what I’m experiencing. More like 2-3 hours. Which is okay for my use case! Edit: I stand corrected - I got 8

Vanilla of the Dark · The Dua Brand
Wanted something cozy and rich as I rot in bed today. I normally wouldn't be wearing this today as it's like 98° out and this is a HEAVY, rich vanilla. If you like Vanilla 28 but wish it was even

Glowing Cherry Blossom · The Body Shop
Layer #5
So technically I did a layer already today but that was sort of a last min decision, it wasn’t Of The Spreadsheet. This one is, and it’s… fine? I like Vanilla Silk better on clothes than on my skin

Sample Testing (3/4)
The decant of this one is so old it came in the little dabber bottles Lucky Scent used forever ago lol. I remember thinking it was pretty but not something I had to have. Now, it reminds me slightly

Rose Pacific · D.S. & Durga
Unusual rose scent, perfect for a hot beach day
This is not a scent to spray on clothes. This is a scent to spray on tanned skin before going to the beach. It’s a hot, hot, sunny summer day scent: aquatic, salty, musky-sunned-skin, unsweet floral

Timbuktu · L'Artisan Parfumeur
Something grounding and familiar after a day of sampling
One of the most gorgeous vetivers - scorched earth, viscous resins and ceremonial incense. Newer batches are still good, but if you can find one in the older gold bottles, that’s where the real magic
