Spring Wardrobe Candidates!

Although the weather is still quite wintry here in Osaka, I can't help but think of what scents might replace my current lineup once spring comes.

Because I'm still trying to economize in interest of opening my new studio next month, I'll only be "shopping my collection", so to speak. That is to say, I don't plan on buying anything new; I'm just going to choose from the samples and decants I already have :-)

Here is what's on my list so far:

  • Maison Margiela Replica - Coffee Break
  • Kayali - Pink Pepper
  • Von Cleef and Arpels - Orchidae Vanille
  • Maison Margiela Replica - Matcha Meditation
  • Byredo - Gypsy Water
  • Kenzo - Amour (2006)
  • Mancera - Roses Greedy
  • Parle Moi de Parfum - Guimauve de Noel
  • Phlur - Mood Ring
  • Phlur - Mango Mood

It seems like I have more than enough to pick from, so I may whittle this down, but then again I may not.

If you have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them!

Hello, I enjoyed reading your article! 😊 I love changing out fragrances for different seasons/times of year too, and "shopping the collection" as well. This is an excellent list - Roses Greedy is so floral-fresh, and I've been very curious about Phlur's Mood Ring and Mango Mood 🥭 out of the two, which one do you enjoy more? Congratulations on opening your own studio 🎉 is this for art, photography? As a side note, when you mentioned Osaka, I've always wanted to visit Japan!

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad you liked my list 😊
Pink Roses is another good one from Mancera if you like Roses Greedy. It smells more, well, pink 🩷
A bit candy-like, I guess; but mostly roses.
As for Mood Ring and Mango Mood, I definitely like them both, but I'm really into Mood Ring. It is extremely reminiscent of Aspen for Women, a drugstore sent I wore in junior high school. I'm very surprised that that's a good thing, because I always thought if I smelled Aspen today that it would make me nauseated. But it turns out I still like it, lol.
Thank you also for your kind words about my studio! It will be my painting in tattooing studio.
Japan is definitely a great place to visit, too. The public transportation alone has me spoiled forever 😅

Try and layer Byredo with Parle moi de parfum!
