fyi i have uploaded my perfume spreadsheet (the list of what i have is current but the rest is not bc the real spreadsheet lives on my computer) so please feel free to recommend what i should try. on the docket for tomorrow (i was gonna try them tonight but it turns out hermetica darkoud lasts FOREVER on me, which is good since i love it) is the "masculine lavender" sampler from surrender to chance, and if those are all gone when i'm done with work i will do the "aromatic fougere" sampler.

others i will try soon:
  • Frederic Malle, Lys Mediterranee
  • Papillon, Spell 125
  • Hermes, Terre D'Hermes
  • Robert Piguet, Fracas (the modern one)
  • Flowerbomb and Black Opium bc i want to see if i still hate them
  • all my BPAL imps (Chaotic, Cleric, Druid, Gnome, Half-Elf, and for some reason also Lust) bc i want to see if i still mostly dislike them

and i welcome other suggestions...my collection so far is like 80% random samples i got from sephora or mixed lots on ebay, and i want to try Everything except sweet food scents, which are super gross to me. if it smells like a cupcake i want NO part of it. but i want to try everything Else, and honestly i like p much everything else so far?? favorite general families so far are florals, oud, and green/herbal/woodsy scents. also i tried one (Rain Day) that was nicely green for a couple hours and then suddenly morphed into smelling EXACTLY like the beach and it was so delightfully strange. like not just the ocean but A Day At The Beach. sand, sunscreen, ocean, seaweed, sun, seagulls, etc., absolutely wild

OH YES, THIS SOUNDS LIKE MY CUP OF TEA
