The most fun oud I own
Ginger, raspberry, silky florals, incense, and a very light oud (Korean Birch). I don’t get labdanum, but to be fair, I like the big labdanum bombs like 7 Anónimo and Molecule 01 + Cistus. The

Sampling on a Sunday
As the weather approaches my favorite- fall- I’m pushing myself to abandon my soapy scents for some options with heft. I do like a good oud so I thought I would try it. Started strong but the dry

Cosy Monday
Back to the office (cue silent tears) with this unsweetened woody vanilla, cut with the peppery, musky sweetness of Naked Dance. ❤️ It’s unexpectedly chilly today — I didn’t bring my usual layers —

The Hedonist · Ex Nihilo
Wow!
I’ve been on an Ex Nihilo kick recently. I absolutely love the way they’ve done this DNA. Tygar and Vibrato did not stand the test of time in my collection. This is definitely going to be a staple.

Aspen · Coty
Repellent For Hike!
While I do not think that Aspen smells like bug spray, I did douse myself ahead of a wooded lake hike with @mssashay in an attempt to ward off mosquitoes and ticks! It worked! 🤣 Maybe citronella?

L'Heure Bleue · Guerlain
My personal L’Heure Bleue…
…I adore 85% of this fragrance. I mean, I really love it, but the ozonic notes just do not agree with me. And, boy, do they hang on!! I appreciate the work that went into this, and I’m disappointed

The Majestic Vetiver · Alexandre.J
Low 60s today - that's autumn, I'm counting that
It's interesting to me that this is supposed to smell like the French Riviera but it smells more like settling into a chair next to a fireplace in the library of an old mansion on a dark autumn

Aqua Media Cologne Forte · Maison Francis Kurkdjian
More MFK Samples
Giving these two some skin time. I adore Aqua Media Cologne Forte so far. It is fresh and bright with a matcha tea note. Just gorgeous. Aqua Vitae Forte is alright. I'm getting the same citrus from

Recovery day
I’ve been exhausted this week - slept until 2pm today which I clearly needed. Also sat behind a girl on the bus yesterday who was wearing this and I told her she smelt great so clearly it’s what I

Blue Talisman · Ex Nihilo
Unisex/masculine citrus peel, ginger, and musk scent
I sprayed this on on a whim this afternoon. It’s a cool, sunny Sunday; my husband has the kids out of the house while I’m working on some work-related presentations in preparation for Monday. I enjoy

Fig Lemonade · French Cowboy
New sample for the fig collection
Grabbed a sample of this from Bloom when I was buying my bottle of Grande Île and have to say that this is entirely unlike any of my other figs: it's so unserious and lighthearted! It's got a

Devil Tender · Ex Nihilo
Pink pepper and rose
I sprayed this on and was, like wait, this smells like Desert Suave from yesterday but more floral and slightly sweeter from the rose. But, it’s the pink pepper that caught my attention. Not bad for

Crème de Clementine · Nest
Orange Creamsicle In A Bottle
Today’s pick is Nest Crème de Clémentine, and it is absolute sunshine in a bottle. It strikes the perfect balance between bright and cozy, this one is an absolute blend of fresh and cozy nostalgia.

African Leather · Memo Paris
I need to get a bottle of this stuff
Went out drinking in Sapporo and wore a sample of this for the first time. I thought it was fantastic, but was a little worried that it would be too strong for people here. Easily one of the most

La-Di-Da for Him · Arabiyat
Heading out to see friends for MTG
Heading out to see friends for Magic The Gathering and thought I’d give this a try so long. As far as the opening goes this smells pretty much like 2023 Myslf EDP with perhaps a touch more citrus.

Vanille Leather · BDK Parfums
An afternoon spent sampling - all on skin
Vanille Leather: A creamy, iris-infused vanilla that opens quite fresh. The leather is more of a smooth suede than anything animalic. The sweetness intensifies as the vanilla warms, made rather

Double gingerbread
I wanted spicy and a little gourmand, this fits the bill. A bit more spicy than sweet but with a cake-y and buttery nuance. It has a bit of muskiness too. I am layering with a 2014 LE from Arcana

Philosykos Eau de Parfum 2012 · Diptyque
It's bloody hot tonight!
I'm lying under my AC, but still fancied something bright, green and refreshing. But really, it's the creamy drydown that I adore most. The most perfect figgy, coconutty lotion. Elegant in a way

Dangerous Complicity · Etat Libre D'Orange
See how this one plays out. Starts off woody, slight sweetness from the coconut but not strong enough to call out as coconut, patchouli but the floral balances it out so it's not screaming. So far I

I’ll try to focus up and post about my Fantôme samples in the coming days (no promises though, my wears are all over the place). I bought Bune because I’ve been searching for my perfect “cold cave”

Thanks to @dippyaboutdiptyque for sending me a decant to test this, finally getting it on my skin. First Impressions: Fresh yet dark and sensual aromatic fruity wood with just the right amount of

Olm for a grey and watery morning
It's gloomy, foggy and wet today so I thought what better way to acknowledge that by wearing Olm. This is an odd scent and it's hard finding the right occasion to wear it. Cool, seaweed on skin after

Courmarin, my nemesis
This smelled so nice on the paper, but I should have checked the notes before letting the SA give me four sprays. The pretty opening was soon overwhelmed by the plastic/plasticine/glue accord that
