Wait for the strawberries

At first it was all Ambroxen and Cashmeren for me, with a hint of bergamot. But give it 10 minutes and the wild strawberries come through beautifully, with almost a champagne-like effervescance. The dry down is almost all wild strawberries....

Dolce Peony

Dolce & Gabbana

Not quite what I was looking for

In my ongoing quest to find a perfume that smells like Dylan Purple and/or Modern Princess but lasts longer, I tried Dolce Peony with high hopes. It is frequently compared to both of the above, but I found it fairly different from...

Beach is the closest I’ve found to the former Coppertone sunscreen sent. My all-summer wear!

This smells just like the original Chanel Coco (from the late 1980s/90s). Coco has been slightly reformulated, so this was a happy surprise.

A lighter version of MM By the Fireplace. I actually find this one more wearable, although with less longevity than BTW.

A sweet, dressy, date night perfume. It’s like a lighter update to those classic but too-heavy-for-today 90s fragrances.

Blush (Eau de Parfum) - Kenneth Cole - 7 months ago

Longevity 7.5
Scent

Young and sweet—think sugar and peony—but with a soft patchouli base that adds an oomph of sillage.

Vanilla Milk - Ellis Brooklyn - 8 months ago

Smells like condensed milk that’s been sitting in the heat too long, with an added plastic note.

Gypsy Water (Eau de Parfum) - Byredo - 8 months ago

After a juniper and lemon opening, Gypsy Water has the same unpleasant latex/rubber hot water bottle note as some of the Bond No. 9’s. Ugh.

Dry, earthy, sexy. Touch of cinnamon, but not at all sweet. I like layering it with the new Glossier You Rêve to add a hint of sweetness

While the opening is too floral-forward for me, the light floral/sweet tea note that later emerges is perfect.

Her Elixir de Parfum - Burberry - 8 months ago

Light strawberries and cream with a laconic, almost almondy mid-note and dry down.
