TSVGA Strawberry Fields, which will have a review up in July-ish, I think is when I scheduled it, but it wasn’t love! The opening was dry, leathery, and very animalic while the latter half of wear was syrupy red fruit and amber. Too much of a contrast, lol!

Dedcool Taunt. It’s a pretty, non offensive lactonic vanilla. My new go-to if I’m going to be in close quarters with a lot of people.
Tiffany & Love, which I wound up buying. It goes on very bright and citrusy, then warms up to a woody greenness.
It was from Maison Margiela. I think it was called “After the Rain” or “When the Rain Ends” – something to do with rain, anyway. It was nice and if I didn’t have a whole lot of other fragrances I need to finish, I’d have bought it. I also tried one or two Jo Malone scents since my local Sephora now has a full range of fragrances. I can’t recall which ones I sampled but neither one had any staying power at all and if I’m spending well over $100 for a scent, I want it to last more than 30 minutes (if they lasted even that long!).
I layer jo Malone fragrances. It seems to help and over moisturizer.
Nope – at those prices, I just don’t feel that should be necessary, especially when there are so many choices in the fragrance “market”.
Gucci Bloom Profumo di Fiori (yellow bottle). I loved it so much I ordered a bottle. It’s light but noticable, and very long lasting.
Jimmy Choo Illicit
Byredo De Los Santos. I tried it in store then got a sample and have worn it a few times. It for me has a strange almost toothpaste like hint in the opening.
Maison Mariela Sailing Day sample from my last Sephora order. Even though it reminds me of something more “masculine”, I really enjoyed the freshness and crispness of it!
I am currently on an intensive fragrance journey. I am trying a new fragrance (nearly) everyday, thanks to all the great online decant stores and subscription services. Today I tried BDK’s Gris Charnel, which for me, I found worth all the hype. Just a few minutes ago, after it turned into a skin scent (after 10 hours!), I have sprayed some Molecule 02 over it. I’m enjoying the whole experience, I believe that I have 2 winners today.
The last fragrance I wore was a Burberry one – given to me on Mother’s Day by my son. It’s called Burberry: My Burberry. It’s not an overly sweet scent and it has some complex notes in it.
Byredo Blanche …..
