I like making fragrance FUN.

Hello for women by Lionel RichieLionel RichieHello for women4.01 rating

I have too many samples right now, so I’ve made myself a deeply nerdy spreadsheet of potential layers. I have 30, so I’m going to do a layer every single night in September, which should make some room in my samples box!

Tonight’s is Hello and Salted Haze from M&S. I hoped the pear and honey in Hello would lift the (disappointingly flat) Salted Haze and I have to say in this regard it’s a successful experiment! I’m really noticing the honey from Hello and interestingly I feel like I can detect a bit more seaweed in Salted Haze (my boyfriend says I’m making that up though).

Ultimately, it feels like Salted Haze is helping Hello to project more, and I suspect it will also help with longevity.

Would I wear this combination again? Yes.

Would I buy a bottle designed to smell like this? Eh, probably not.

    Love this! I esp like how you say whether or not you'd buy the layering perfumes in question as it's own scent at the end✨️

      Thanks! I was trying to figure out how to judge if my experiments have been successful or not and that felt like a good rule of thumb!

      Thank you! I was getting decision fatigue and also I don’t want to buy anything new this month so it all seemed like a good fit.

      Thank you! I’m hoping I’ll a) use up some of my stash and b) maybe find some new loves!

    A spreadsheet queen! You’re gonna find some fun stuff I’ll bet 🤙

      I hope so! And if not, it’ll at least be fun trying stuff out!
