This has a 30% chance of me liking it according to this app, but 50% of my collection isn't up. So I know that is not accurate.

This is nice, but it's just the same as the others. It has deer musk, but i get 0% animalic qualities. The white chocolate is nice, and I don't like any form of chocolate honestly. This is nice and creamy. This is honestly Match made in heaven with chocolate instead of caramel. Also, it has bergamot, but I get no freshness.

I feel like many of the fragrances in this house are just very similar. Like the base stays, but they change up the opening. For all the craze around this house on ordering, change of bottles, resellers I just don't care to hunt this down. A nice decant, but no full bottle.

    I’m trying some Sorce samples right now and I do find that most seem to share a vanilla cake base. I’m still trying to decide if I like it or not.

      I like them, but I'm turned off by the hype and "black-Friday" style fighting people get into to get a bottle from this house. They are good, not great so not worth the bid wars or line fighting for. Just my opinion.

      I agree! I love in dreams and fairy tales vanilla and genuinely consider it one of my favorite vanillas. But everything else I’ve tried from them kind of feels like a worse version of that? And nothing I’ve tried feels purely floral, fresh, anything, just vanilla cake with other stuff mixed in. But I keep getting drawn in bc I do think the creativity is fun o

      Replying to @melissa

      I think their original idea, bottles and core mission was great. They are now playing the game and staying safe. The new bottles scream penhaligon's. She keeps the dna she's comfortable in, and in doing so they are all too similar. Also, in trying to do right by the customer and keep things fair, she spiked a resellers dream

    50% of the time it’s correct 30% of the time. lol. And I feel you. I only have about 10% of my collection logged so the data is kind of interesting to see get refined. I wish there was a way to import the 1000+ days of tracking I have from Parfumo into here

      I thought there was a way to upload a spreadsheet from elsewhere. Or I might have been mistaken.
