24 Fragrance Sample Card Test - 31 December, 2023

Samples are sprayed 3-5 times on a labeled card. Judgement begins approximately 40 minutes after they have dried.

Cards are turned with the label side facing down and arranged in lines. This is done in a dimly lit environment to avoid judgment or attempt at identification based on the spray stain.

All cards are sniffed through quickly and those in the first three disqualifier groups are decided first, then separated out. The groups being:
1.) Smells like nothing
2.) Smells like something but I’m not impressed
3.) Don’t enjoy or don’t want to smell like

The remaining cards are then shuffled and reordered. They are ranked in groups of three. The best, mid, and least favorite of each group are compared again until final card order is decided.

These are my judgement results - from being sprayed on paper *only* - for the following 24 fragrances:

Smelled like nothing:
- BBW Japanese Cherry Blossom
- Lady Million

Smelled like something, but I wasn’t impressed:
- 7 Sisters Oil Fast Success
- Yes I Am
- Harajuku Lovers Sunshine Cuties Love
- Tribute 91 Oil (Dupe of Tribe)
- White Diamonds En Rouge

Don’t Enjoy or Don’t want to smell Like:
- Krasnaya Moskva
- Pink Sugar
- Pink Sugar Creamy Sunshine
- Tibute 91 Spray (Dupe of Tribe)

Top 13 favorites:
#13 Yes I Am Glorious
#12 Britney Spears Fantasy - Hair Mist
#11 Malibu 1989 Body Mist (Dupe of Malibu Musk)
#10 Commodity Gold - Travel Flask
#9 Tribe
#8 Electric Youth
#7 Commodity Gold - Large Bottle

Oh I'm curious, what was it you disliked about Creamy Sunshine? I think I've tried that one, but now I can't remember what I thought. Thank you for sharing! (As a side note, I love your iridescent backdrop - it's giving me Lisa Frank vibes 🌈😍)

Well, I loved creamy sunshine - It really is a great fragrance. But it is very distinctive, so I am kind of tired of it after owning it for many years (I've owned it since it came out). That is why it was disqualified during this time.
