Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial
Of all the perfumes I've ever tried, this was the one that I wanted to love the most.
I tried and tried through multiple wearings to make it work but in the end, I couldn't.
I thought it would be right up there with my beloved Dior Homme Intense (2011) and even though it does smell like a cousin, it's more powdery and the citrus really stands out to me in this.
It triggered a migraine every single time I wore it and it became evident that it just isn't for me (sadly.)
I have to be careful with citrus that comes off sharp on my skin and powder that takes over everything else, it just makes me feel suffocated and nauseous.
The Dior is blended better and smoother so I'll stick with that. It's truly my "desert island fragrance."
Such a shame for me but I'm sure the lucky person who I gave it to felt like they had won the lottery because this stuff isn't cheap!

Bath & Body Works Coconut Mint Drop
To me, this is a nice minty vanilla-ish coconut. It starts off more minty but eventually the mint fades out completely to a slightly musky, sweet, fluffy coconut (not a beachy coconut.)
I really enjoy it and I am surprised that they haven't brought this one back yet. I'd like to see them bring it back along with Toasted Praline & Pear and Raspberry Jam Donut. All three are sweet comfort scents for me.

Kylie Jenner Cosmic
This smells SO nice! I'm surprised by just how much I love this. My expectations weren't high, with it being a celebrity fragrance. They can be very hit and miss.
For me, I get a very fresh, clean smell, something that reminds me of how you'd want to smell after getting out of the shower.
It feels like an all-occasion/every season type of fragrance. A work-horse if you will. A scent that has the potential to get a lot of wear out of it.
It's blended well and is smooth, a little floral and a little sweet.
It makes me happy and because of that, I plan on upgrading my travel spray to a full bottle soon!

Yves Saint Laurent Paris
Paris smells like one of the most luxurious, fancy body creams that you've ever had the pleasure of wearing.
It reminds me of a wealthy lady who is always impeccably dressed with flawless make-up, style and grace.
A decadent floral that somehow manages to seem familiar and comfortable at the same time.
Not stuffy or old-fashioned.
Lovely!
This is what "class" smells like!

Glossier You Fleur
This is all about that creamy yellow floral with a pinch of salt and a pretty apricot, giving it a tropical, summer vibe.
Surprisingly good longevity, I put it on in the morning and I could still smell it right into the night time.
I garnered a compliment on the very first day that I wore it. A friend hugged me and said......"ohhhhh you smell nice!"
I like this one, it's totally different from the original "You" though so if you get this expecting to get Glossier's signature musk scent, you may be slightly disappointed.
