Chrissysmell

This fragrance is refreshing, relaxing, and sweet. It’s perfect for Delina or Burberry Her fans. I sprayed this on and got very fruity-floral-lychee whiffs throughout the day, but up close the patchouli, ginger, and cocoa blossom shine through and ground the fragrance. It’s super pretty, but the price is insane.

Lust - Oud Delice is rich, warm, comforting, and sensual like a luxury 80s penthouse. Every note works together beautifully; and they're all strong, but not cloying, more enveloping or resonant like a deep voice. Hazelnut and dark chocolate make it feel like Valentines Day. If I smelled this on someone I would probably follow them home or have delusions about them forever, which is why it would be a dangerous signature scent. This is a beautiful perfume, but I think its resonance and notes would lend themselves well to a candle or lotion.

I bought a Who is Elijah sample set and was putting off testing out this fragrance since rose fragrances are usually a miss for me. It’s not as bad or scary as I thought. Rebel Rose is a vintage style feminine fragrance at first, and its more masculine elements make themselves known over time. Although, not every masculine note is apparent, the patchouli and leather are very obvious.

Besides the dark masculine notes, the rose is front and center. It’s not a fresh rose though, rather one that has been sitting in a vase too long and is starting to wilt. Some petals have dried and fallen off, creating a powdery texture as well. This will sound very corny, but if the emoji had a smell, it would be this.

This fragrance isn’t very strong and doesn’t last very long, and I think that’s to its benefit. If it were stronger, it would be undeniably nauseating.

Fresh cut grass and wet flowers. Ozonic with a slight breeze. This is not a typical perfume smell, but something very familiar and vaguely edible. It smells like a hotter than usual spring morning. I understand because of the way this fragrance is it can't be long lasting, but I wish it was. The wear time is only about three hours. It's fresh, clean, and addictive. Great for living your cottagecore fantasy.

I was trying to figure out what smelled like floral sharp sour sweat at work but it was just me wearing this perfume. The lemon is very intense and almost can smell like cleaning product up close. This really is just not enjoyable when it’s not in your face. I can appreciate how long it lasts. It evokes no beautiful imagery for me, it’s just sweaty and bad.
