through as much as I would have preferred, and the lilac leaned a bit too earthy + green for my taste. 💔 3. "Titania | Idolette"  The notes felt misleading here, too - as there were several lactonic and gourmand elements listed, but testing the fragrance was a different story. I wish I could pick up on any creamy richness of the other notes to balance the lilac, but this was a solinote...

but I do hope that future editions will have at least some photos, or maybe less abstract drawings of the perfumes. I found myself reaching for Google far too often, and usually when I sit down to read a book, I tend to look forward to some off-screen time. Finally, as a Shalimar fan, I wish there was a chapter on this classic, but apparently, it didn't find much popularity...

I feel like they're marketed as fragrances, but act as body mists. Most of them really don't last long and they almost all have this sort of plasticky, almost synthetic undertone to them. Almost all of the fragrances from the discovery set share a similar theme of summer and lightness, I wish they'd branch out. Their Scent Club seems more experimental, a bit more daring. Why not retire...

But for what its worth, the wearable oud sensation that "Opus XV - King Blue | Amouage" opens with slowly fades and the scent becomes more and more challenging, transitioning to a familiar foe from Amouage's own catalogue, that being "Opus XIII - Silver Oud | Amouage". Vibes of the dead-fishy oud from Silver Oud and the one I previously mentioned for "Mandala...

Dolce & Gabbana"  100ml  I've tried many marshmallow scents this year, but this is the only one I fell for. I love the soft, pillowy-ness of it combined with raspberry and orange blossom. It's very pretty, feminine and soft. Very easy to wear, even in warmer weather. I just wish it lasted longer on my skin. ❓"Angel Muse (Eau de Parfum) | Mugler"...

in a bundle) and my boyfriend ordered it for me. This is one of my fresh scent for summer and warm weather. The mix between florals and citruses is well-executed. This perfume reminds me a little bit of Dior Homme Cologne's grapefruit interpretation with a more feminine touch and added florals. I wish it lasted longer, but citruses tend to fade fast on my skin. Thankfully,...

obsession and a money sink.Slow down and only buy loves: Something that has been quite difficult for me is to separate the perfumes I like from those I love. There are also perfumes I appreciate, but would not like to wear on my skin. For example, I've come to realize there are few fruits I wish to smell on my skin (ex. fig is a lovely fruit and there are beautiful...

happy to learn that they kept the sheets where we had recorded the notes and the ml used for each matière première so if we ever ran out, we could order another bottle anytime through their website. 2 hours and 249$CAN that were well invested in furthering my knowledge of this passion of mine. I wish I could've heard Ruby Brown talk a bit more about her experience and her path...

smelling there's tobacco in there, even though there isn't. Think Grand Soir, Taklamakan, Le Lion, you get the picture. Wonderful. Suma Oriental is a warm, comforting cocktail of cocoa, rum, woods and spices. Yum. Extremely addictive. Like a boozy, warm cashmere sweater, if there's such a thing (I wish there was). Memory Motel is my fave of the three, a leathery vanilla tobacco and incense perfume...

will be with me for many years to come. Sweet, but not tooth-achingly; a natural, warm vanilla with a touch of sugary musk. Sexy, classic vanilla that's sure to get compliments during your birthday night out! HONORABLE MENTIONS: 1. "Cake Confetti | Victoria's Secret"  I wish this worked on my skin chemistry, as it has the most adorable colors + label design! It definitely...

CK ONE was very bright, citrusy, energetic and unisex, and that was about the extent of it. The next part i feel will be a familiar road trip to many new collectors of the last 5 years or so as we jump in our van, yes we need a van for all the fragrances we all plan on buying that are in our wish lists, or maybe we could do a split and hire a lorry, a cargo plane maybe? Though the plane may be a little...

of the forest will also find here!Rammstein With the launch of the new fragrance, Rammstein adds a more powerful, spicy version to its softer predecessor "Waidmanns Heil" from 2022. The name is inspired by the German phrase "Waidmanns Heil" - a traditional greeting among hunters, who use it to wish each other luck and success in the hunt. "Waidmanns...
