more perfume
i am accumulating a significant collection of perfumes that don't work for me; sometime soon i'll post a list and see if anybody wants them.
successes since my last post:
interesting failures:
also i did confirm that i do indeed still hate flowerbomb and black opium, which is nice to know.
successes since my last post:
- hermetica, darkoud: this is bliss, intense oud/wicca store vibes and it lasts FOREVER on me. not available on the decant sites but the website does sell relatively large (1.5 ml) samples for five bucks each so i will definitely get like four of those at some point
- robert piguet, fracas (modern): i enjoyed this one but my final notes were "this is slightly excessive" so i have to admit defeat before the Tuberose Bomb. still gonna wear it though
- hermes, Un Jardin Sur Le Nil: absolutely delightful, green and wet in a bright sunny way. on the larger-decant wishlist for sure
- Frederic Malle, Lys Mediterranee: ohhhh this was dangerously lovely, apparently i really like lilies. i smelled none of the other notes and it stayed the same the whole time but that's fine bc it was great
- azzaro, pour homme: citrus leather that evolves into sandalwood, i love it
- givenchy, gentleman: also very leather-forward with fruit notes, which is a FASCINATING combination that i like
interesting failures:
- papillon, spell 125: my notes on application include "compellingly ugly" and my one-hour-later note is, in its entirety, "what the fuck". not keeping this one but it was an Experience
- Parfum d'Empire, Fougere Bengale EDP: this smells like curry powder on me. like literally exactly like a jar of curry powder from the supermarket. what
also i did confirm that i do indeed still hate flowerbomb and black opium, which is nice to know.
