What are your favourite discontinued/rare scents?

Ursaw | Perfume Discussions

... "Piazza di Spagna | Roccobarocco". I don't know why it got discontinued and struggle to describe what's so special about it, but it's my favorite perfume ever. I've been holding onto my precious little bottle for more than 15 years now, lol. It's fresh, it's spicy, it's... I'd say herbal? I've owned it for so long that I genuinely struggle to describe it. It just smells like itself, and I've never come across anything else like it. Best thing ever, 10/10.

... Testing "Story of your Life | Etat Libre d'Orange" today. What can I say... They did capture said life moderately well? But I don't mean that as a compliment.

... "Jasmin et Cigarette | Etat Libre d'Orange". Perfect companion to the giant 4 day long electricity outage. Le sigh.

... Snatched a sample set of the new Loewe releases! Should all go well, they should come in the mail in about a month~ "Bittersweet Oud | Loewe", "Iris Root | Loewe" and "Roasted Vanilla | Loewe". Can't wait to indulge ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

What did you test today?

Ursaw | Perfumes & Brands

... Spent the day testing "Hermann à mes Côtés me Paraissait une Ombre | Etat Libre d'Orange", and evening with "The Ghost in the Shell | Etat Libre d'Orange". Hermann was... disappointing. I really wanted to love it because of the wet earthy backdrop (an absolute delight, that one), but unfortunately it was just that – a backdrop. I don't know, perhaps I'm just too sensitive when it comes to rose, but rose there felt completely overwhelming to me to the point of a headache. Bleh. Ghost is very fun though, I think I might keep it. First time encountering a soap scent I feel interested in trying again.

... Testing "The Revenge of Lady Blanche | Penhaligon's". Not going to keep it, but it's a lovely one time experience. A very Penhaligon's kind of scent. Most of them are quite interesting, but suited for a person that's just a little bit too different from me.

... Testing "Risvelium | Orto Parisi", the last one out of my getting to know Orto Parisi decants selection. Personally, I think I like this one the most out of 5 I've tried. Still, not to a degree where I'd ever wear it again. Especially given the insane projection. I hate being that person in the room.

... Testing "Bergamask | Orto Parisi". Kinda dirty for such a clean citrus scent, with a few drops of animal piss on the flowers. Eh. When it comes to scents of old apartments that the owner never manages to clean up well enough, I personally prefer "Jasmin et Cigarette | Etat Libre d'Orange".

... An ELDO discovery set! It doesn't have the scents I'm most interested in, but that's okay. I'm always happy to learn more about a house's vision, and I can always find the specifics later if after discovering that set I'll still feel into it.

What to do when you find a scrubber?

Ursaw | Perfume Discussions

... I use soap and water, which usually aren't enough to remove the perfume entirely, but in most cases make it mellow enough for me to tolerate its presence. For extreme cases I have a bottle of 96% ethanol. It works wonders – washing even the clingiest scents out, but is also super harsh on my poor skin, so I avoid it unless absolutely necessary. Most of the time "slightly smelling like something I hate" is a better option. Though I'm curious about micellar water now that I've heard about it. Will have to buy a bottle and check it out. Sounds like it should be much less of a skin killer.

... Testing "Stercus | Orto Parisi". Lovin' the soft animal aspects hidden behind sharp anise and car leather. I wish they weren't, well, hidden behind sharp anise and car leather.

What are your top 5 perfumes in your collection?

Ursaw | Perfumes & Brands

... It's been 3ish months, the warm Loewe season ended a while ago, and I've been dabbling into a more niche side of things, so let's see what I'm into atm, in no particular order: 1. "Jasmin et Cigarette | Etat Libre d'Orange" 2. "7 (Eau de Toilette) | Loewe" 3. "7 Cobalt | Loewe" 4. "Rouge | Comme des Garçons" 5. "Bitter Peach (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" (I would've chosen "Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" in its stead if asked just a few days ago, but I've made a mistake of wearing it on a day I had to spend with my mother and now it just smells like nausea from her reckless driving, lmao).

... Testing "Terroni | Orto Parisi" today. I'm not sure I understand the point of its raspberry note. It permeates everything and distracts me from things I find lovable in it ( • ᴖ • ｡)

... Testing "Ganymede (Eau de Parfum) | Marc-Antoine Barrois". Eh. It is a peculiar scent and I love what it does with the upper flowers, but in general - not for me. Especially the medicinal drydown.

... A big baggie of decants. 5 from Marc-Antoine Barrois, 5 from Orto Parisi, and 2 Nasomattos. And I used to think video games were an expensive hobby, haha.

... Testing "B683 (Eau de Parfum) | Marc-Antoine Barrois". It's cute, and I do love me a juicy chili note, but I already have "7 Elixir | Loewe", and (according to my taste) it handles this flavor profile better.
