Virginal Amphora Parfum 2024

*Bottle purchased March 2026, first formula

This is such a gorgeous fragrance that is both cheap sugary fruity and also somehow light, fresh, and clean. The strawberry is that gorgeous Smackers lip gloss scent without the weird waxy overtone that sometimes smothers in cheap formulas. It's just sugary and juicy. It feels very much like one of those chewy candies that's covered in granular sugar. However, underneath that there is this really clean, cool water smell, like the a chill glass after a hot summer afternoon. No chlorine, no chemicals, and I don't get any alcohol from the gin, but the water is noticeable and juxtaposes the super fake strawberry really well. The fabric underneath is reminiscent of a cotton t shirt fresh from the dryer. Just over all a really neat "slice of life" fragrance, strawberry lip gloss candy wearing your favorite warm t shirt and a cool pool of water near by. Great for wearing in spring/summer and just after a shower.

Noah, what have you done darling- this is phenomenal. So your looking at the notes- this is not a scent that you can really base off the notes AT ALL. Take all of those notes, dilute them to be this beautiful, watery, skin musk- that PROJECTS. This is your beach skin: you've been on the beach from sunrise to mid day, you've been applying suntan lotion all day, you're in and out of the ocean, the salt has dried. The moment before you take a shower, you take a deep breath and inhale the scent of your salty skin, the residual suntan lotion, a brief sweetness- air rolls in through the window and you catch the scent of your linens. This is very Mario Kart Peach Beach (no Peach) coded- I also imagine Freddy from Scooby Doo to wear this. Smells like a Beach day. Phenomenal scent- another Fumed find that had everyone stopping to sniff. I'm loving this living in some of my summer apparel, instant serotonin boost.
