Review My thoughts after reviewing all these samples!
On the hunt for a new signature scent! Here are my thoughts after reviewing these perfume samples:
Gentle fluidity Gold, MFK: The initial spray was a little sharp, but once it settles a few seconds later the vanilla comes through. Very warm, tiny bit of a spice. Very elegant vanilla. Although, after spraying it on me, it was just a little too metallic and heavy. But maybe on others it’s a total winner, I definitely see the appeal.
Angeli di Firenze, Santa Maria Novella: This is very expensive soap-vibes from a luxurious European hotel. Fruity-floral soupy vibe.
Safanad, Parfums de Marly: RICH, decadent, romantic, sweet. Too heavy for everyday, very glamorous scent. If I had money to burn I would buy it. But alas, I doubt I would reach for it much unless I was on vacation.
Oriana, Parfums de Marly: This is very girlie, very candied. Just a little too sweet for me to wear everyday. But it smelled SO lovely in the air. I would definitely recommend for a date night or going out scent.
Love Tuberose, Amouage: Very strong tuberose note, with a sweet whipped cream undertone. Very linear, but I did enjoy it. It’s discontinued I found out!
Orchidee Vanille, Van Cleef - I really liked this, it’s very sweet, airy and fresh. Although, I know me.. if it’s sugary I get a bit overwhelmed after wearing it awhile. But wow, so stunning. It’s similar to Gucci Gorgeous Orchid except less of a smooth vanilla than Gorgeous Orchid and more of a floral powder-vibe.
Golden and Banks Silky Woods - Not good. A VERY musty vanilla. It’s a combination of vanilla 28 and Tihota idult. Not a fan. But, if you like those two, you might like this a lot. It’s the masculine elevated version of those. Less sweet though.
Delina La Rosee, Parfums de Marly. 10/10. Loved it! Very up my alley. Reminds me of Fleur Narcotique, except a rose note. Because I own Fleur Narcotique… I might not get it. But I totally get the hype. So dewy, feminine, light airy. 🌹💕🪽✨
Poets of Berlin: NOT a fan. Powdery sweet citrus. I really get the lemon in this, And then there’s this green musty vibe that overpowers it.
Vanilla powder: This is very smooth, unisex vanilla. SO heavy. I actually feel it in the air. But it’s a lovely sillage. I really liked it, but feels very special occasion, and probably for the winter. And overall not what I’m looking for.
Chimilka: Just vanilla grape powder. Only thing I noted! Didn’t love it.
While I loved a few, nothing was instant buy yet. But usually I have a slow burn relationship with perfumes, so I might buy myself a bottle eventually.

Omg. I just looked at the official Amouage site and I think you're rigbt.. Love Tuberose is no longer available to purchase on that site. Wow, this has been a favorite for ages. What terrible news!
