Unexpected Delight
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

Rainy day layering of Encre Noir by Lalique & Green Irish Tweed by Creed
The blend of cool, rain-drenched greenery and deep, earthy woods creates a sophisticated yet grounded scent that feels harmonious with wet

Rainy day
A rainy day with a dark sky. Damp, mossy forest floor, my favorite scent to use on such days. My gf surprisingly likes this one.

Felt like being early this morning. I will continue to list my “mood” as On Fire until it cools down 😤

It's hot outside and I have a job interview today. Going for cool and "has their shit together" vibe without putting on something too heavy

Like it: Lovely, strong cedar, but not the slightest bit overpowering. Fresh and woodsy but soft.
GingerSnatch Like it: Classic Vetiver and inky darkness. The à la extreme is nicer though
Steve Like it: Unusual, but relatively light. Feels like black silk chiffon.
