... I keep a separate account for fragrance spending. This way I never wonder if I am overspending. If the money is there, I can spend it! If it’s not, I wait to save more. When I struggle with decision fatigue, I curate a small selection of fragrances and focus on those for the month. I keep a list of samples that I thought for sure I would enjoy but didn’t. This is my reminder to never blind buy.

Where to get decants?

Tealight10 | Perfumes & Brands

... Adding Surrender to Chance, The Perfumed Court, Fragrances Line, Decant Planet! Scent Split is my go to if possible. I like their labels. The Perfumed Court carries some gorgeous vintage fragrances. Surrender to Chance has a unique selection. Fragrances Line often has things the others do not.

Prestige or uniqueness?

Tealight10 | Perfume Discussions

... You have to go with the one that makes you feel most confident based on the context. If either is not office appropriate=pass. If both are reasonably appropriate=the one you personally prefer. If you are uncertain=the more conservative option.

What are your top 5 perfumes in your collection?

Tealight10 | Perfumes & Brands

... I don’t I could ever consider this a fixed category. They are all divas in their own right and when I wear one, it has me convinced it’s number one. But still an amusing exercise. Right now, I would say: "Ardent (Eau de Parfum) | Boadicea the Victorious" "Ambre Suprême | Les Indémodables" "Shalimar (Extrait) | Guerlain" "Spell 125 | Papillon Artisan Perfumes" The competition is quite fierce for the last spot. My two Fzotics are mad at each other and won’t look at me. My two Naomi Goodsirs don’t care if I don’t pick them but also may never speak to me again. All of my greens are sulking.

Halloween scents

Tealight10 | Perfume Recommendations

... "Spell 125 | Papillon Artisan Perfumes" is my favorite Halloween season scent. How it smells like a dusty book in a dank crypt and a forest filled with gilded light is a mystery to me. When I first tried the sample, I literally banished it to a drawer in the garage I was so disturbed. But it beckoned me back and I now consider it a prized part of my collection.

What Does Cyberpunk Smell Like?

Tealight10 | Perfume Recommendations

... I have a bottle of "The Ghost in the Shell | Etat Libre d'Orange" for this reason. I almost sold it because I wasn’t wearing it but I realized that there are days when my mood is “no mood” and I just want to cyborg my way through the day. Ghost in the Shell does not disappoint. The marketing copy is delightful or annoying (depending on your preference) and can influence how the fragrance feels for the wearer. To the uninformed, it’s a pleasant plasticy-body wash with hints of citrus, milk, and metal—cyborg/skin-like and compulsively sniffable like a 80s vinyl toy. I find it remarkably absent of any obvious emotion on the surface which allows me to feel safely hidden from the world. Another worth sniffing is "Neandertal Them | Neandertal". It’s an altogether different sense of futurity. It’s hard to describe as the notes don’t quite convey the feeling of it. It’s distant and futuristic, sparsely populated and a little haunted. A leathery skin scent with florals so soft that they don’t feel particularly floral, more like the ghost of something moving past.

Scent of the Day

... Much cooler today after a long warm spell. "Night Flower | Eris Parfums" demanded I pay attention. I cherish this bottle! A clear Shalimar descendent. It a leathery tuberose with abundant patchouli. Perfectly blended in my opinion.

Scent of the Night

Tealight10 | Perfumes & Brands

... "Vouloir être ailleurs. C.G. | d'Orsay" The weather here is unusually warm so I am milking my summer-iest fragrances. It has an elegant simplicity that I find refreshing. It’s just pretty and effortlessly so. Yet still with a confident spine. Vera Zhukova, Linden Trees, date unknown.

A perfume like damp soil after the rain

Tealight10 | Perfume Recommendations

... Petrichor describes part of what you seem to be looking for. It’s the smell of the air after rain activates dormant earth. Geosmin might also be another term that is useful. It more specifically refers to the smell we associate with healthy soil. "Petrichor / The Garden Collection - Petrichor | Marissa Zappas" was where I landed after a similar journey. I posted a rather lengthy review here . It is not a photorealistic fragrance but it interprets the feeling beautifully with conscious engagement with natural ingredients. I do think of it more as cold petrichor but that is my native climate association with the smell. "Steamed Rainbow | D.S. & Durga" may be too far afield but it gives me warmer humidity, like sprinklers and popsicles on the sidewalk late in the summer.

Pink pepper fragrance

Tealight10 | Perfume Recommendations

... "Scorpio Rising | Eris Parfums" is a most delicious pink pepper-fest. A full bottle would be beyond the price range listed but worth a sniff by decant if you can access one.

What perfume have you bought recently?

Tealight10 | Perfumes & Brands

... Marc-Antoine Corticchiato’s "Mal-Aimé | Parfum d'Empire"—a beautiful achingly subtle green fragrance inspired by plants commonly considered “weeds,” blackberry bramble, fleabane, thistle, nettle resting on a soft bed of cool orris. I feel about 6 years old crawling through abandoned parts of the garden when I wear it. I feel wild and impulsive and also primordially connected to premodern life—all while going about my modern job. Ironically , it is a wonderful office scent!

What fragrance do you all wear to work?

Tealight10 | Perfumes & Brands

... I have a very kind and tolerant officemate who doesn’t mind my fragrances which was an early convo and huge plus. I do sample sometimes when I have a lot of desk work. It’s a small room and no windows so I feel fortunate that it’s not a problem! I do frequently have meetings offsite and need to tailor my choices. Recently I have been wearing soft, subtle fragrances that might not be readily recognized as perfume: "Mal-Aimé | Parfum d'Empire" "Petrichor / The Garden Collection - Petrichor | Marissa Zappas" "Iris de Gris | L'Artisan Parfumeur" "Feu Secret | Fzotic / Bruno Fazzolari" "Vouloir être ailleurs. C.G. | d'Orsay" The last is likely the most obvious perfume. A gorgeous linden soliflore by Olivia Giacobetti. The base is very dry with lots of hay and may comes across like a body product more than perfume. The rest are all iris-based which is and isn’t a coincidence. I do love iris but it is really only prominent in Feu Secret. Mal-Aimé is green weeds, Petrichor is self-explanatory and features the loveliest vetiver. Iris de Gris is centered on a green pea accord. None of them are big projectors and I find that it’s my preference for office wear. I hate spending any part of the work day feeling like I am wearing too much. Weekends and evenings however…

... "Iris de Gris | L'Artisan Parfumeur" Softest green fresh fragrance. The pea accord is subtly sweet and summer garden green. It’s all on a bed of iris and musk and wears so gently.
