I’m indoors with the shades drawn today, so this out-of-season potion will suit me perfectly today. I’m actually testing it against a sample of Candlelight from Eros Rose to discern whether or not there is space for a similar fragrance (they share a lot of key facets). Hermann has been the closest thing to a signature for me for the last several years, but my first breath of Candlelight the other night felt like, “Ah, THIS is what I’ve been looking for all along!” Thankfully, I can by polyamorous with my beloved fragrances.

      It’s one of two fragrances that when I smelled it, I thought, “Oh! That smells like me!”🥰

    Ahhh it’s nice to know where your profile name came from. Another ELdo sitting waiting in my discovery set.

      Wait for a rainy day, if you can. The lower the cloud ceiling the better.
