I received this from Scentbird, and at first I thought maybe they'd sent me the wrong thing. Where's the licorice? Cardamom? Cocoa? Then I saw someone else describe it as a "headache inducing white floral," which is exactly how I would...

I had no idea this fragrance was so polarizing. I have a theory it must be like cilantro - some people can't get enough (me!) and to others it tastes horribly of soap. It's a genetic thing, apparently. I also fall into the "Loves Tutti Twilly" category...

I'm a sucker for the scent of cloves. Lush describes the fragrance as crossing sweet bubblegum with metallic notes and spray paint, and I don't really get anything metallic OR paint-y. But definitely the spicy bubblegum (like the old fashioned...

This is a super wearable, friendly aquatic scent. It's perfect for warm weather, but I also enjoyed wearing it in Winter, to remind of me warmer times and climes. I've never been to Paris, but certainly I'd like to imagine myself there on a warm...

I don't own a lot of vanilla scents, as they typically get too sweet and cloying. This one is really nice! It's a not-sweet vanilla that exudes comfort and coziness. I liked it on rainy days in the Spring but it's not too much for Summer either. Longevity...

There are so many things to like about this fragrance. The first thing is it feels truly gender-less, like a crisp white button-down shirt paired with jeans - anyone can wear it. It's got that "let me lean in and smell you" sexiness to it without being heavy...

I generally love tea scents and I am particularly fond of the scent of real genmaicha tea, so I had high hopes for this. It's a nice perfume, but it doesn't tick the boxes for me. The rice note is not the nutty slightly savory rice found in the actual...

Super wearable, friendly, and calling it nice seems like damning with faint praise. But it's really NICE, in a cute kittens and puppies kind of way. It's what I reach for when I want to smell awesome and offend no one. I find it slightly...

I'm not a person given to "signature scents." I'm a typical Pisces, too moody and changeable for that kind of commitment. Therefore it's a pretty short list of perfumes that I would consider my "desert island" choices - you know, the ones you'd...

Funny story - the first time I smelled Rien was in a boutique that had a small selection of ELdO, fully expecting it to be some light, airy thing, based on the name (knowing very little about ELdO the brand, of course). Upon sniffing the blotter,...

This very pleasant coconut and white flowers scent strongly brings to mind Avon mark.'s Instant Vacation - Greek Isles, but longer lasting. The drydown reminds me of Sean John's Unforgivable Woman (which was my favorite part of that fragrance)....

I haven't been this surprised by a "celebrity" scent since SJP Stash. I'd call Eilish No. 2 "niche-adjacent" as it's definitely got a unique vibe that seems uncommon in mainstream fragrances. It's quite gender neutral, not too masculine or feminine....
