Scents of the day, with the moment they were worn in.

Dear Sky · Ellis Brooklyn
Again, the weather didn’t get the memo about the autumn equinox. Blue skies, sunshine and a pleasant temperature. So a good opportunity to sample a fresh fruity floral. I got excited when I saw a

2% · Snif
Really loving the Snif body whips. Nicely moisturizing and pretty strongly scented. Wearing the 2% whip and perfume to bed. Not too sweet, beautifully lactonic, and the milk carton accord is nicely
Grant
Club de Nuit Intense Man · Armaf
This one is super interesting to me. I don’t like strong lemon smells so I’m still feeling a bit odd about this smelling a bit like cleaner. On the other hand there is something really interesting

Autumn 26 · Ffern
Baby’s first Ffern 😅 I’m really going to have to sit with this one because my expectations were so far in another direction. It’s definitely conjuring some kind of memory for me, but all I can say
OliveEyes
Angélique Noire · Guerlain
Didn't have time to overthink it this morning - I just wanted something sweet and alluring, but fresh enough for 30°C. Angélique is that girl. She's not that sweet, though - nothing that would cause

English Pear & Sweet Pea · Jo Malone
I’ve had a conditional job offer for the last two weeks and my prospective employer is finally checking references tomorrow… I have fantastic references, but I still can’t help but feel nervous! A
Avalon
Versace pour Femme Dylan Blush Pink · Versace
(Quick review below) Husband is having back pain and needed me to run into the store for supplies. Why would they put the back pain items on the bottom shelf? Got a sniff of the opening, caught tiny
Robin
Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum · Guerlain
The first day of fall actually gave us slightly cooler temps. Not much, but anything below 90 feels so nice. Anyway, I’m bullying my cooler weather fragrances into working this next week and this is
Chloe
Tres Chere · Mizensir
I really like this one but couldn’t decide if I loved it enough for a full bottle, so i got another decant and yeah I think I love it I did some sampling and wow did I have terrible luck (looking at
MagnifiScent
Himitsu Violets · Regime des Fleurs
This evening, after erasing Frito Corn chips (Taipei) from my olfactory system, I sampled two more perfumes from my sample stash. Himitsu Violets and Durban Jane. Immediately after hitting the strip

Tokyo Blue · Chris Collins
MFK samples done (though I still have to review Oud Satin Mood, but that will happen when the weather cools off a bit). The next house I'm going to do a deep dive on is Chris Collins. I bought the
Meg
Fakhar Rose · Lattafa
Big meeting today! So I thought this would be the perfect pink for the office this morning. This was more or less a blind buy for me, a couple of months ago, but it’s rapidly become something I reach
Megan Melancholy
Jasmine Freak · Room 1015
Testing this tonight. I like it better so far on skin than paper. Skin brings out the jasmine and makes the fruit blend in better As it plays out I do like the jasmine in it, it's a sweet version of
Brian
Un Jardin en Méditerranée · Hermès
It’s my Friday! 🙌 UJEM felt like the perfect choice for the office and this beautiful San Diego weather today. One of my favorite things about this fragrance is how effortlessly light and airy it

The Musc · Essential Parfums
Okay, who has been gatekeeping? Why has no one told me to get this on my skin? Now, I’m sure you’ve already figured out that I love a clean laundry scent for dance class on a Tuesday night. So I
Frankie
Epic Woman · Amouage
Not surprised that this frag is still noticable despite having sprayed it about ~5hrs ago. It’s a little too old lady-ish for me, but I doubt that’s the case across the board. Note: For all my

Amberwood · Clive Christian
This fragrance reminds me of Prada Luna Rossa Black and it’s the reason why I love it. Prada Black was the beginning of my fragrance journey and my only issue with that fragrance was that it never

Sacrebleu · Nicolai Parfumeur Createur
Sacrebleu is compared to L'Heure Bleue Eau de Parfum, which I haven't tried, but I should've received my Odalisque on 9/4 (still haven't) and need to satisfy my longing for it 😭 so I
Cacophony Kid
Khamrah Waha · Lattafa
And I really like it! I really enjoy the original Kahmrah and I was so curious about what a "fresh" version would smell like and I am not disappointed. I get a slight hint of cucumber and a blast of
Psmmg
Encre Noire à l'Extrême · Lalique
I must say, that's the first time I've properly caught the full potency of the frankincense. It felt rather like a Catholic Mass on overdrive, as if the priest had got terribly anxious about some
Frank Intense
Oud for Glory · Lattafa
Another pretty damn close dupe that especially shines in the price/value arena. First wear, but already enjoying the constant shifting of Oud-patchouli with woody spicy earthy and an ever so slight
musen
The World According to Arthur · Penhaligon's
Opens with a slightly lipsticky ambrette note, then gradually becomes sweeter without ever losing that ambrette core. I like the drydown more than the opening, which didn’t really grab me. The tonka
Steve
Versace Pour Homme Dylan Blue · Versace
Going into the studio to work. Won’t be seeing anyone. It’s been a very long time since I put this on, and it was one of the first fragrances I ever bought, and it gave me a chance to use up the
Mombod26
Alto Astral · Byredo
Immediately post-spray this came out as a very fruit-forward coconut which is the same experience that I had on first wear, but this time it didn’t smell of passionfruit to my nose. It’s
