I found a good deal on a full bottle of 
Imitation Woman, which I am crazy about, but no one seems to talk about much. I have a few more samples from the Amouage coming, but I've tried almost all their women's offerings now. Maybe I'll start sampling their men's fragrances now, or maybe it's on to another house.

Nice! I’m glad it found a new home & for the right price 😊. Would love to hear your insights from your discoveries with Amouage as a whole.

@Mothula I have sampled 19 of their women's fragrances so far. I fell head-over-heels with 6 and bought full bottles. Strangely enough, each of these 6 were created by different noses! I'm not sure what the common thread is other than high quality and complexity (though Ashore is more simple).
I own full bottles of:
I really liked but did not buy:
I didn't care for:
Jubilation 25 Woman Eau de Parfum
Reflection Woman Eau de Parfum
I really did not like:
After I finish testing the rest of my samples I might write up a blog about them. I have posted reviews of all of these.
Recently I bought:
L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Eau de Parfum (Vintage version)
I need to postpone now for few months 🤑
My latest purchase is 
Jicky Eau de Parfum , very unique and lovely, my boyfriend loves it too.
@Ringtale I really want to add Jicky to my collection. I have only sampled the vintage EDT. I really like the furry animalic note in the drydown. I'm trying to decide if I should try to find a well-preserved vintage bottle or just spring for the modern EDP.
I've read many positive reviews on this Les Legendaires version of Jicky, I can't compare it to former versions. Where it comes to the animalic side though, I've read and heard (Persolaise talks about it on Youtube) the extrait may be the best option. But I see that one available for over 200 euro's for 30 ml whereas this 75 ml EDP out of the 'Les Legendaires' line, 'only' costed me a little less than 80 euro's...so... 
@Ringtale Thank you!
Your welcome @Chrysoptera! You only must ignore the subtitles in the video, they're awful! And he compares the Extrait to another, older version of the EDP than the one from Les Legendaires line ofcourse.
@Ringtale You convinced me! I finally pulled the trigger on the extrait
@Chrysoptera, Oh exciting 😀! Let us know how you feel about it. Like I said, I never smelled that one, but I think, for me, the abscence of the more animalic notes is just right. But if the animalic notes are just what your aiming for, the extrait will be the right choice according to Persolaise. (I like him as an influencer).
@Ringtale I already knew I wanted Jicky, I just couldn't decide which version, whether EDT, EDP, extrait, vintage or modern. This video plus your vote of confidence helped confirm that the modern stuff is still so good. A relief, because I wasn't sure I really wanted to go down the rabbit hole with vintage. And yes, I really love a good animalic note.
Silver and Drakkar Bleu. Ordered them today.
Silver is such an amazing scent. I got several samples from Clandestine and this one really stood out. Grabbed the Drakkar because I just have to see what they do with a new Drakkar in 2025.
I got a good deal on 
Chergui Confit de Parfum to see if I prefer the confit over the current formulation of EdP - I'm on the last few mls of my vintage EdP Chergui 😭
Dorasima : Its a good perfume. Sometimes I feel that it has a bit too much of sweetness but the musky-creamy effect on drying down is gorgeous!
And another purchase made, 
Tuxedo welcome home 
Just got a second bottle of 
Catherine because I'm going through it rather quickly this spring, just can't get enough of my creamy jasmine.
I was really impressed by 
Le perce-vent and wanted to know more about Serge Lutens' vision, so I ordered a Matin Lutens discovery set. Now we wait and hope it passes customs swiftly and without issues (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ
Recently got a resold full bottle of 
Bohemian Lime for $85. Been pining after this for months. Saw the deal, jumped on it.
1 - My beloved 
Le Mâle Le Parfum for the third time, even if I promised myself I got enough of it. It's never enough!
2 - 
Bad Boy Cobalt on it's way. I smelled it at Douglas and wow, probably it was what I was looking for for nights out in summer, and I didn't know until I smelled it.
3 - 
Mysterium - Clone of 
Tony Iommi Monkey Special , at first I was hesitant about how I felt about it, but that Maracuja (Passion Fruit) contrasted with Leather is just perfect to my nose, in my mind it just makes perfect sense, and even if I feel it's a weird combination (probably it's not that weird), it makes sense and feels correct / intentionally done, if that makes sense.
@TheDunkPapa posted about the Bortnikoff anniversary event, buy 2 get 1 free. So I ordered:
I'm on a no-buy, which is a shame because I'd love to take advantage of the Bortnikoff sale (I was also looking at 
Oud Monarch Extrait de Parfum and 
Lao Oud Extrait de Parfum !)
But before the no-buy I ordered 
Gold Heart V.4 and I'm impatiently waiting for it to ship! I'm excited about it.
Tomorrow 
Vintage Radio is supposed to arrive!

Found a resold bottle of

Fleur de Peau Eau de Parfum which was on my mind after sampling it and after buying 
Orphéon Eau de Parfum, but I felt a little guilty because it is quite expensive.
But then I realized I won't be needing- and thus won't be spending money - on new summer clothes (bought a lot of new summer-clothes last summer without it being a great summer) or shoes this summer, so...excuse found and went to the nearest Skins shop and bought it .
Sprayed some on my arms in the shop and OMG this is so, so gorgeous. When biking home, the summerbreeze (it's spring, but really summery here now) wafted this beautyful scent towards me and I felt really moved by it, the way beautyful music can move you, I could almost cry (I'm not exaggerating).
I'm overly happy with it. Every Iris lover should try this, it's beautyful!
