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

meltmyheart · Strangelove NYC
After picking up the other two and loving them so much and the same guy selling this for only ¥48,000, I had to pick it up! Absolutely incredible and likely my favorite gourmand of all time! Don't
Brian
Terre d'Hermès · Hermès
Gave myself a nice bathing of Terre d’Hermès, then added a light to medium layer of Ombré Leather on top. The bright orange and grapefruit still cut through, while that flinty vetiver meets the
Meg
Citadel Secrets · Glasshouse
Look, folks — choices were made. I thought this would be kind of similar in projection to the lighter Glasshouse numbers, so I thought I’d spritz myself ooohhhhh-so-lightly before I hit the sack as a

Encre Noire · Lalique
I’ve seen people rave about this one, and it’s priced so reasonably, I bought a travel size to try. I’m glad I made the slight splurge, because I think I’m going to burn through it. That cypress!
Chloe
Tres Chere · Mizensir
I really do love this one. My problem is that my favorite category is a musky skin scent which mostly all sit so close to the skin and do not project. And I want to be able to smell my perfume in a

Barénia · Hermès
Asked my boyfriend what I should wear and he said “whatever makes you feel confident and powerful”, so Barénia it is. Apparently the landlord’s sons might want to live in the flat when we move out
Global Warning
Herbes Troublantes · Guerlain
I have to admit, Wasser did a stunning job on this Herbes Troublantes. I can't for the life of me understand what's exactly going on, but I feel a mix of being bothered and pleased at the same time.

Gris Dior · Dior
I went on another sniffari this morning, sampling a few more from my list. They were all tested on skin and given the whole day to develop. Gris Dior: This opens much sweeter than I expected, but not

Dynasty · Lattafa
Opens up quote strongly with raspberry and what seems to be an earthy note from the clary sage. The raspberry then sorta goes slightly back and I’m getting that sage and the raspberry is the second

Aquatica · Rayhaan
Been dying to test this one after so much hype online about this. Opening is gorgeous holy heck it’s like if someone gave you key lime pie perfect about of lime with a hint of sweetness. I’m already

Grey Vetiver · Tom Ford
It's cold but sunny and will be a warm day. We may go hiking. I was completely undecided what to wear so I just used this (just a small amount)because I know I can layer it with almost anything
Mombod26
Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum · Diptyque
Pink pepper sings on first spray, followed by a smoky incense at its mid, bright and resinous cypriol oil, and a smooth, rich vanilla base. Diptyque scents tend to fade from my skin quickly, but with

Legacy · Maison Asrar
Opening on this one is weird it smells like alcohol and spice and then beyond that the scent smelled weirdly empty in a way I can’t place my finger on? I think the combination of the ginger and
Jess.
Meander · Amouage
Sorry Meander, you're not my favourite Amouage (rose and narcissus = meh), but the carrot seed is interesting and you're oddly rather relaxing. Although I suppose the name suggests that hey. I need a

Harlem Nights · Chris Collins
More Chris Collins samples. Harlem Nights is really lovely and complex. I get almost a cherry almond note from this, though not quite. It's lightly sweet, boozy from the rum, leathery, and

Tobacolor · Dior
A long work week is finally over. I decided to end it with the last few sprays of my Tobacolor decant. Now I have to make a tough decision. Do I buy a full bottle? Do I buy Houbigant's Tabac Nomade?
Kimberly
Tabac 28 Miami · Le Labo
Finally got a bottle of one of my favorite Le Labo city exclusives. I don’t wear this one everyday or to work, so it has limited use but I adore it so much that I told myself this year I’d get it.

78 Vintage Green · Banana Republic
Visited the state capital where some friends live. No specific plan but we went to a museum and are doing a walk later. This is just an easy reach and it was so cheap I didn’t mind the possibility of

La Tacita de Cafe · Day Three
Sampling their discovery kit. This is too intense for me 😵💫 It reminds me a lot of Opus XIV Royal Tobacco & I can see why it won a fragrance award because it’s beautifully blended. Projection is

Yasminale No. 1 · Henry Jacques
She’s a beautiful beast. The most amazing Jasmine there is, in my opinion. It’s so bold but also the most feminine, girly scent I own. Now, my husband will still wear it and it’s incredible on him as

Vibrato · Sospiro Perfumes
Wow, this is phenomenal, and I’m rather disappointed it’s taken me this long to finally getting around to sampling this modern classic(?). A bright citrus ginger that is smooooth, and the perfect

Lady White Snake · Stephane Humbert Lucas 777
This combo works so well in warmer weather; fruity white florals and soft suede. I enjoy finding fragrances for season(s) other than the notes usually suggest. Casa Blanca, CH Africa

Vesper Glitz · Ex Nihilo
A great follow-up to sampling Wavechild this morning; this one is also super fun and summery. A bright, sweet, creamy, citrus-floral; normally I’m timid/picky when it comes to jasmine, but I LOVE
Radiant
Bigarade 18 Hong Kong · Le Labo
I’ve tested this a couple of times. I like it better than Citron 28. However, the price is comically astronomical. 🤔 I can’t see anything compelling me to ever actually buy a bottle. But I did order
