An insant staple
I first tried Yesterday from Scentbird over a year ago -- my very first Scentbird order, and really my very first attempt at trying out perfume outside of some Bath & Body Works sprays I liked in high school. An insanely lucky first choice, because it's one I've reached for constantly and eventually repurchased.

The application is immediately bright, spicy and woody -- the vetiver and cardamom don't hold any punches. But the dry-down smooths the spice down with its citrus notes (that always makes me think green apple, even if apple isn't actually present) and sweet geranium. While this scent remains spicy, it's so nicely balanced with the fresh, crisp, sweet notes that come in during the wear that no note is truly overpowering the other. They work together to take you on a journey.

The mix of notes makes this a solidly unisex fragrance. I find that it lasts for most of the day, fading in strength at probably the six hour mark. The woody-spice aspect of it leaves a bit of a trail, but not offensively so.

Easily an everyday, all-year round scent for me ️

A lovely rhubarb fougere fragrance that is versatile
Yesterday is a rhubarb and bergamot fougere perfume from Room 1095, created by Amélie Bourgeois. This brand projects a counterculture personality that is well-displayed on their website. My curiosity was spiked when I saw this brand on Jovoy Paris and I ended up getting two samples. This review was initially written for a sample vial from Jovoy, but it has been updated after I got a full bottle.

The Room 1095 website lists bergamot, caraway, sweet orange, basil, thyme, cardamom, lavender, rhubarb, davana, vetiver, sandalwood, musk, amber woods and tonka bean as the main notes. The notes reveal this perfume to be an aromatic variant of the classic fougere, with rhubarb and davana replacing the floral notes from the typical fougere formula. The top notes open strong with bergamot, orange and some minor aromatic notes. Caraway, basil, thyme and cardamom are not identifiable as separate notes but could be contributing to the mildly sweet aromatic accord. The lavender and rhubarb from the middle are perceptible almost immediately. I won’t be surprised if some noses list lavender and rhubarb as opening notes. The rhubarb is long-lived on my skin and defines this perfume. Some of the sweeter notes from the bottom percolate up into the heart notes, producing a beautiful woody, musky, aromatic body. The base notes on my skin are woody notes flavored with musk, vetiver and tonka. This is a nicely blended ending, so most notes don’t stand out individually. I can still smell some of the rhubarb from the heart notes in the end. The transition from middle to bottom notes is not very defined.

The performance of Yesterday is excellent on my skin, very much in line with a rhubarb-fougere fragrance. The main notes last for 6-8 hours, but the projection is not monstrous. I recommend this as a versatile work perfume, if you don’t mind the rhubarb.

Yesterday is a beautiful modern interpretation of the classic fougere formula. If you are interested in this olfactory pyramid, you should also check out the very similar Jovoy 21 Conduit St. The Jovoy perfume has a green cannabis-like accord in the opening, and rhubarb disappears earlier than Room 1095 Yesterday, giving it a slightly more gourmand vibe. Both are great perfumes in my opinion, with Yesterday exhibiting less variations in its progression. They are both similarly priced, around $130 for 100 ml.

A Walk Down Memory Lane
Inspired by a Beatles song, Yesterday attempts to focus the bittersweet sensation of looking back, while keeping you firmly rooted in the here and now.
It's a personal and contemplative fragrance that sits close to the skin. It feels like it's inviting you to reflect quietly, much like going through old pictures or remembering a moment in time that brings you joy. The initial bit of freshness dies down to soft warmth, which feels impressively familiar.
The "yesterday" theme may make you think this is purposely vintage, or overtly retro-aesthetic, but Room 1015 has done a remarkable job of blending classic notes into contemporary vision. It feels timeless instead of tired. It is the sort of fragrance you would wear for yourself, in moments of wanting to feel connected to your own past-but unencumbered as well.

Perfect summer scent
Hello Parfumos

I've been reading along for a long time and today I'm going to give a rating once in a while. Although I didn't really want to expand my collection again, the rising temperatures have lured me back into the perfumery of my trust. A summer scent should be this time. Citric, fresh, long-lasting, as natural as possible. These requirements are difficult to meet, because firstly most citrus scents tend to disintegrate quickly into a cheap heart note and secondly they often have a very modest shelf life. On top of that, my signature scents are rather spicy and oriental (at the moment I prefer idols by Lubin).

Enough with the history. The salesman listened to my specifications and single-mindedly went for Yesterday from Room 1015, first sprayed on the strip and yes, the genre was not reinvented. But the top note fulfilled my imagination to the point, with which I had visited the perfumery. But most of the other citric scents do that as well, until they become unpleasant. So the skin is sprayed and the shop is left.

Yesterday has a powerful sillage at the beginning. If they had searched for me at that moment, they could have switched off the homing device and just used their nose. The scent in combination with the sunny weather brought a relaxed smile to my face. I constantly had to hold my nose to the sprayed area and take a deep nose again. The aroma is almost purely citric. I even thought there was still a little bit of lavender knocking, although this ingredient was not used. The scent is harmonious in any case with a tendency to be euphoric, depending on the weather and mood.

The best thing is that the top note held even after an hour. The scent remained more or less constant on one level and didn't turn into a chemical smelling stink bomb after a short time, like so many other citric scents, smelling more like toilet stone than perfume. Some representatives of this genre don't even make it into the heart note, but go back as fast as they came. In this case there is a citric note in the head, heart and base. Through and through! Even after 6 hours this pleasant nasal flatterer remained clearly perceptible on the skin. After 8 hours it then diminished noticeably. In this genre the performance is incredibly good.

The perfume has been added to the collection and will be sprayed regularly this summer. I like it incredibly well, even though the wheel has not been reinvented. If you're looking for a great summery niche perfume with above-average performance and a great naturalness, you should definitely try this perfume. Unisex factor: High.

Very helpful Review 13  
the enchanting scent of the day before yesterday and the day after tomorrow
Flacons, vials, bottles, test strips and those contact strips in magazines and journals don't just contain fragrant chemical compounds; they contain much more:
Dreams, memories and hopes; they tell stories, little anecdotes and sometimes they refuse to tell us anything: then they simply remain silent during testing.
Every now and then, you still find access to them; but usually you have to accept the silence of a fragrance and look out for other beauties.
Fortunately, we have the choice.

for me, especially now in the middle of winter, "Yesterday" stands for memories and hopes at the same time; for the summer of the day before yesterday and the day after tomorrow:
Memories of last summer and hope for the one to come.

After just a few splashes, I find myself in the middle of a rustic Mediterranean garden; the sun is warming and a light breeze playfully tugs at the hem of my light skirt: I have left the winter skins behind me; perhaps they are also in the small farmhouse made of field stones opposite.
It's nice here: Everything is a little more rustic, no fence, no hedge separates this so pleasantly herbaceous wilderness from the expanse of blooming lavender fields that stretch gently up and down towards distantly recognizable mountain ranges.
The spicy scent on my skin is a mixture of the fresh, spicy aromas of the nearby Hesperides grove with its richly leafy trees, their varnished dark green foliage and numerous fruits in varying degrees of ripeness and colors from pale unripe light green to strong yellow and golden orange: a caress for the senses.
Green and herbaceous spices from this kitchen garden clearly dominate: what would Mediterranean cuisine be without strong thyme and basil with its familiar peppery note? I don't recognize every herb in the melange of scents, but I am happy about every fragrance that envelops me in a flattering way.
Of course, woody and earthy nuances are also part of a balanced fragrance:
We meet old acquaintances from many base creations here in the form of sandalwood and vetiver.
There is also a light cape for cooler moments.
But instead of the usual rich, warmly embracing vanilla aromas with the familiar slightly animalic-erotic small animal tones, to my surprise a good dose of the more harmless tonka bean cuddle scent, this time paired with white musk, has been woven into a harmonious finale and, together with the other richly developed fragrance notes, is reminiscent of one of the lilac and gold-colored, so romantic sunsets of Provence and its beautiful fragrance paintings.

Sillage and longevity are very round and balanced for such a summery composition.
With its summery Mediterranean charm, this creation evokes memories of many summers past and, at the same time, hope for the one to come.
I like that, because how quickly "the day after tomorrow" becomes "yesterday" again in this day and age.

A modernized variation of classic fougere scents from the 1960 and 1970s. Versatile and enjoyable if you like the style.
