I’ve been using DBT too long with clients, now all I can do is quote Marsha Linehan because I have the ~500 page DBT manual memorized.

Anyways this is massively good and then a massive let down.

I just cannot stand fragrances that have longevity of an EDC that are advertised as an EDP. Why? Why do you hate ME? Wait a second…

If I check the evidence yeah this has nothing to do with me, but I feel very attacked.

The plus of this fragrance is that while you can smell it, it is sublime, as you would want from something named Sublime. Using words like “Joy” and “Sublime” are tall orders for fragrances. All No. 5 has to live up to is being the 5th.

Anyhow, this doesn’t smell like anything else, which is a massive victory. If you’ve had the displeasure of hearing me say this over and over again— buckle up!

GOOD FRAGRANCES DONT SMELL LIKE RAW MATERIALS THEY SMELL LIKE THEMSELVES.

That is achieved here, but there is no base. It’s top heavy. Forgive the comparison but this is the Wendy Williams of fragrances. You love her and then you hate her until you see her again.

Not a top of time but good.

    Come on Jean! Help a person out! Tell us! We need the deets!!! … Another fab review with your dulcet tones. Though, I have maybe watched too many American murder documentaries and I need to know you are safe every time you stop of at a woodland on your way to work. (I’m an Olympic Gold Medalist at catastrophic thinking 🥴)

      LOL I was in between a koi fish pond exhibit park thing and someone’s apartment complex???? I literally had no idea where tf I was LMFAO I hiked about half a mile on a dirt road to get there and set my tiny tripod up on a tree that had a mangled chain wrapped around it. It is truly a great fragrance!

    “I have no idea where I am right now I have no idea what I’m doing” that’s me every time I’m anywhere doing anything. Just as a warning to everybody else. This one looks really interesting!

      as I have been chatting about with you in the comments the lack of longevity irritates me but being in the middle of nowhere is comforting so I don’t have to worry about people hearing me yap about my olfactory hallucinations of pineapple ester

      I think I was blessed by the fragrance gods because I’ve never had anything last less than 6 hours in me. But my skin tends to cling to things. On my bad days, at least I have that lol

      $20 at Nordstrom a decade ago felt expensive but I’ve gotten a lot of use out of it
