My Parfumo

Canada Active 1 hour ago

Telekinec Went to Sephora to try out a few new releases in the designer section. They were pretty disappointing honestly... This doesn't bode well for my waning enjoyment of this hobby. 19 days ago

La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum

Lancôme

A "perfumey" fruity floral feminine fragrance

This is the epitome of a "perfumey" fragrance. Probably the fragrance I smell every time I enter the fragrance section of a drugstore or something. La Vie est Belle has been out for a long time. It's a staple for many,...

Aqua Allegoria Harvest Mandarine Basilic

Guerlain

Mandarin in all of its tangy, sweet, fruity, fresh, tart facets

My boyfriend surprised me with this bottle of the Harvest version on Christmas. We thought it had long been discontinued, but he managed to grab a bottle at the airport during one of his work travel....

La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum

Lancôme

7Scent

A "perfumey" fragrance straight from a designer's book. Sweet, fruity, feminine; I see a mature woman wearing this as she goes out.

Aqua Allegoria Harvest Mandarine Basilic

Guerlain

9Scent 7Longevity

This version is all about the mandarin and a subtle basil, supported by the lovely, fresh, green tea note and the lovingly warm woody note.

Sticky Popcorn

Jousset Parfums

8Scent

Very similar to Le Gourmand by the same brand, but has a very subtle and realistic note of buttery popcorn. Drydown is more caramel.

Le Gourmand

Jousset Parfums

8Scent

A chocolate milk bar with some hazelnuts inside. Not quite Nutella, but not far off. Very lovely scent, probably Jousset's best one.

La Tarte Tatin

Jousset Parfums

5Scent

Strong, synthetic candle vibes, although the apple note was bright and tart during the opening. Simmers down to a sweet, sugary mess.

Gourmand Bakhoor

Jousset Parfums

5Scent

Beautiful, fleeting opening and then it's this weird leather and sour/acrid accord (bakhoor maybe?). Definitely not gourmand on my skin.

Delicious Black Powder

Jousset Parfums

7Scent

A trio of strong, dark elements: cocoa, saffron and suede. Last one wins the spotlight on my skin. Wouldn't say it's a "delicious" gourmand.

Crème Brûlée

Jousset Parfums

5Scent

Say what...?! Sour yogourt with a weird rancid cheese opening. Dries down to synthetic vanilla with a hint of crème brûlé. I'm just ... no.

Ciao Bello Pistachio

Jousset Parfums

6Scent

A brief appearance by the vanilla macaron with some pistachios at the top and then it's a weird, synthetic, nutty, warm vanilla combo.

Café Affogato

Jousset Parfums

5Scent

A Starbucks-adjacent latte scent (creamy and barely any coffee) that later morphs into a weird fresh/synthetic and bitter mess.

2025 Fragrance Journaling: I'm Still in This Expensive Hobby

2024 was a great year to finally set boundaries with my wallet. Yes, I did fall a couple of times (like we all do), but nearing the end of that year, I had started getting a grip...

2024 Fragrance Journaling: Rules to Preserve my Wallet

At the end of 2023, it was pretty clear I had a problem. After I had written my last Journal Entry: Into The Hobby of Fragrances article (part 1 can be found here), there was a little bit of introspection...
