Open letter to perfume houses: the cry for samples
have not catered to the needs of those who would like to own something you have made, albeit in a manageable volume size. And so in this letter, I would like to lay the case for 'the smaller bottle'. Quite frankly on paper, it would seem that there is a better business case for selling only full-sized bottles. However, I think that you will appreciate that your forecast does...

Battle of the Autumn Apples
Body Works, you'll love this! It smells almost identical to the candle, but has a touch more of the apple note to make it wearable (instead of being "candle-like"). The apple note is sweet and vibrant, with the warmth of fall spices to bring it to life. They've only released it in a travel-sized mist, but I hope they'll bring it back again as a full-size - it's one of my favorite "autumn apple"...

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab’s 2023 Lupercalia collection
are no lemon notes in this scent, so maybe like King’s telepathic chef at that haunted hotel, I’m smelling something that’s not there right before I’m hit with the shinning. Dark Chocolate, Blackcurrant, Rosewater, and Apricot (no notes listed) The most exquisite chocolate truffle, hand-piped with a velvety wild woodland brambleberry jam filling, enrobed with another...

Journal Entry: Into The Hobby of Fragrances (Part 2)
Tea by Yves Rocher Here are my new additions with a few thoughts about them. You can read my complete in-depth reviews on various websites where I'm active (Fragrantica, Parfumo, Reddit): Clean - Summer Day (full bottle): I recently received this one, along with four other miniature sized bottles of Clean perfumes, as a gift from one of my coworker who heard I was into...

Tips I Wish I Would've Known When Starting This Journey
getting samplers and testing them out, but I'll also be going back to my older fragrances and enjoying them (self-care benefit y'all!).This hobby can get quite expensive. Perfumes are a luxury item not everybody can afford. There's absolutely no shame in trying out samplers or buying travel sized bottles instead of full bottles. People on social media (looking at you Instagram...

Journal Entry: Into The Hobby of Fragrances (Part 1)
scent that started it all. I have been very lucky: it's probably my signature scent. I started with the Bum Bum Cream which made me realise I was able to smell scents without triggering my allergies. I then ordered the body mist which led me to buy the travel size of the perfume and then the full-sized bottle. Sol Cheirosa is a soft warm and nice gourmand perfume on my skin....

Spray and Pray Experiment #0003: Silver Scent + Desire for a Man
and 28 hours in the heat. For the skin test, I hit my maximum limit of 18 hours. To say that the combination performs well is an understatement. The projection and sillage are borderline loud. People notice the scent as you walk by, and the scent can invade a moderate-sized room. There is little versatility in this combination. This...

Scended scents and moving movies Part 2
more populated than the Texas desert. The much scorned Old Spice was always the scent that decent men wear in my mind. And this movie is full of them.Probably the most emblematic badass female character in movie history. Tough enough to outlive a platoon of space marines and kick an alien T.Rex-sized queen's butt to oblivion. She'll cut her way through a steel wall just to prove her point....

The end of perfumery as we know it?
Clearly most consumers would favour declaration over prohibition/restriction. EU legislation push for transparency of ingredients in consumer products. This, however, puts considerable pressure on the fragrance industry for the following reasons. Most SME's (small and medium-sized enterprises) fear they will not be able to stand the costs extensive declaration entails, which threatens to put them...

A little bit about me...
contained Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy, Michael Kors Michael, Dior Addict 2, and Versace Yellow Diamond. I liked Viva La Juicy, I disliked Versace Yellow Diamond, and LOVED Michael Kors Michael and Dior Addict 2. I was faced with a dilemma: in my kit came a redeemable in-store coupon for a full sized bottle of one of these perfumes. Should I go with Michael or Addict 2? I galloped to the interwebs and discovered...

A little rant
But they weren't, so I happily bought them. I packed all three carefully among the folds of clothes in my luggage; and when time came to check-in at the airport, I checked-in my luggage to follow the rule that you cannot carry liquids more than 3 oz or liquids than cannot fit in a clear quart sized bag. Fast forward 8 hours later. I arrived home, and I unzipped my luggage. I know it was a long flight with some turbulence,...
