Skylar Perfume Discovery Set FULL REVIEW
Skylar is one of the first brand I stumbled upon when researching perfumes in the beginning of my journey. My first perfume from them was "Fall Cashmere | Skylar" which I got as a sample with one of my purchase from Sephora. I rapidly got hooked and ever since then it has faithfully remained in my collection as a full bottle (even after all of my decluttering moments). I bought a Skylar sample set on Sephora...

Journal Entry: Into The Hobby of Fragrances (Part 5)
This is part 5 of my (28F) series of journal entries into this amazing hobby. You can find part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here and part 4 here!

Ellis Brooklyn Scent Diary Set FULL REVIEW
Ellis Brooklyn is one of the first brand I stumbled upon (all thanks to Sephora) when first starting my fragrance journey. I really love the simple, yet elegant bottle designs and their marketing is pretty nice. I've had the discovery set for awhile because my boyfriend gifted it to me about a year ago but I've been postponing it. When Apple Love came out, that's when I knew it was time to go back...

The Art of Fragrance Masterclass by Thierry Wasser
I stumbled upon an ad about this event on Instagram since I follow both the Facebook and Instagram of Guerlain. I read that the first 350 attendees would be receiving a 2ml of "Tobacco Honey | Guerlain", one of the new L'Art et la Matière perfume which is the primary reason why I signed up for this event (even though I haven't received it yet...). To be completely honest, I smelled it somewhere...

ScentXplore Box 2023
I stumbled upon ScentXplore by pure luck, through @oliviaolfactory 's excitement about the event. After checking out the website, I discovered the ScentXplore discovery kit that could be purchased alongside a ticket to the virtual event. At 80$CAN, I figured I'd get my hands on a nice box of niche fragrances I would otherwise never get to smell and get to attend a virtual event that would help me understand perfumes...

Looking Back At A Year of Fragrances: Lessons Learned and Mistakes Made
I was looking at my old Reddit posts, reminiscing about old memories and past purchases I've made (I'm pretty active on the Sephora sub) when I stumbled upon a post featuring my first fragrance purchase. That's when it hit me: it's been a year since I've started my journey into the world of fragrances. Looking back at my collection that has grown and changed over the months,...

Fragrance Store Visit: Spotlight on Etiket
Now that I've been into this hobby for a year, it's finally time to spread my wings and leave the nest of designer and mainstream fragrances. I started snooping around for places that held those niche jewels a few months ago and this is how I stumbled upon Etiket. I got the chance this weekend to visit the store and here are my impressions!

Perfumes: The Guide (2018) - Impressions of a Beginner
Hey there! A fellow Parfumo member recommended me Perfumes: The Guide 2018 and I have been blessed with a good library that is able to get books from other libraries around Canada. Vancouver Public Library was sweet enough to send over their copy so I could peruse it at my leisure (with a due date of course). I decided to expand my review of this book in an article because I was curious...

This time, I want to talk about rating perfumes on Parfumo. I love this website because it allows you to interact with the community in different ways, may that be by writing...
