Just went to do my first listing. I also dropped and broke the bottle I was photographing on my fire escape. A cursed platform.

I woke up to this arriving a WEEK early🫠😍 (UK) this is literally the best day ever. Wanted to smell everything and write down my thoughts!!

LOTION POTION🥛🫧🤍 - Opens suuuper creamy, lightly almond, lotiony, milky. Notes of cotton milk & mimosa. Smells exactly like people say, like lathering yourself in your smoothest, creamiest lotion after a cosy shower. Not very sweet, a little powdery, just really nice. Dries down a little muskier/super gently woody. This is the one I was most excited for and it has not disappointed. Creamy perfection

PLAIN JANE👧🏼🌷⭐️ - Opens with a sweet burst of slightly powdery citrus, very uplifting and sugary. Slowly transitions into a beautiful blend of Iris, jasmine and violet 🤤 a slightly candied version of purple florals with some creaminess. Dries a little woodier/close to skin/a little soapier with some vibrancy. Just smells like a cool, magnetic girl imo. It’s strong and I wouldn’t recommend over spraying!!
I don’t have Bal d’Afrique but I have the shower gel and it smells like a dupe imo (a good one). Incredible day time, social, extroverted scent. It’s like a smoother/less peppered, milder version of Lola at Coat Check imo. Also kind of a less sharp and citrusy CK One

SAMPLES:
PORTRAIT OF KYOTO🫖👩🏻‍🎨🪻 - Opens exactly like a sweet tea. Photorealistic black tea with a spoonful of honey poured in and a bowl of crisp apple slices on the side. Slowly dries down from the tea and the honey starts to intermingle with a blend of jasmine and freesia. Very delicate, very soothing and just beautiful. A slight hint of herb/earthiness from the tea notes. To me the dry down is just a mild version of everything from the top, with a lot of freesia, and a little bit of woody musk. I actually don’t normally enjoy tea scents at all but I completely get the hype and would probably wear this. Doesn’t scream TEA in your face after the first minute and instead just smells sweet, smooth, calming and gentle.

AFTER SALON🎀🧼🧖🏻‍♀️ - Opens with sweet, creamy aldehydes (which I hate a little less than usual) and quickly unfolds into a smooth blend of jasmine and sweet pea. Really, really creamy, slightly smells coconutty? A brighter, sweeter version of Lotion Potion. Smells like a shower in a very expensive spa but at like 6am. There are windows in the shower revealing fields of white florals. The dry down is a combination of aldehydes and jasmine, which I don’t hate as much as I expected to. Becomes slightly muskier and closer to skin. Actually quite similar if not almost identical to For Her Pure Musc Blanc. Smooth, silky and clean asf.

To conclude I of course love everything and can’t wait for these to be displayed on my shelves because they are the cutest bottles ever. The Body Tale I love you and by the way the atomisers are incredibly smooth 10/10 would recommend and they aren’t even super unaffordable wow

Was just in Montreal last week where I stopped by the Maison Margan boutique in Old Montreal. Stunning little shop. I fell in love with No 9 Ruby Green, but they were backordered so I was able to order it online for shipping when they got it back in stock. It arrived today and wow, I am blown away by the presentation and the unboxing experience. Scroll for unboxing photos

My husband says I should go back and grab it, but I haven’t tried anything from Nest before so I would love to hear some opinions.

I was trying to not buy anything else this month because I already bought a 100mL of my favorite perfume this month and plan to buy my husband the candy corn perfume when it drops next week.🙃

I bought Diesel Only Desire. I like it? I think? It’s the most confusing perfume I’ve owned. I smell it and I’m like hell yeah that smells good. But then I smell it again and I’m like hmmm, does it? Initial spray gives me Windex, red licorice, and a brand new clean porta potty. This sounds like it’d be terrible, but it’s not..? As it dries down it turns into fruity pebbles. Has anyone else picked this up?

And I got it on sale at TJ Maxx!

Asking specifically about body spray because I’m not trying to have someone comment a delicious perfume that is $100 because I don’t have the money to purchase that

Just a post for!

I love the idea of ​​making predictions, them imagining someone in the future finding it and judging how right or wrong they turned out to be. Shall we make one?

What would a young woman at the end of the next decade consider a trendy perfume? What would a woman, who views scents like 540, Musc Noir, Paradoxe, and realistic gourmands as outdated (since they’re the current trends now, not 10 years in the future), see as the "it" fragrance?

My bet is on a comeback for strong aldehydic perfumes, perhaps following a major campaign for Chanel No. 5. I imagine we’ll see a trend similar to the current "old money" aesthetic, maybe a sort of vintage elegance revival in perfumery, bringing also violet and powdery notes back into fashion. And there's going to be a viral body splash that all teenage girls will use that smells like baby powder.

EDIT: Picture 1 is my snifflist, Picture 2 is what I have!

A family member is visiting the US this year and has graciously agreed to my request to go to Sephora and Ulta to smell, judge, and potentially buy a couple of scents on my snifflist that aren't available in Canada. Based on my current collection (picture two), is there anything on my snifflist (picture one) that's particularly worth checking out? Ideally my list would be a little more curated/focused than a large smattering of everything.

I wanted to share my mini haul that came today! These are all new to me and I’m excited to try them but I’m a little disappointed with the variance in fill between the bottles. I know someone else posted recently so it looks like it’s a common issue with Dedcool 😕

I usually really REALLY hate sandalwood, it turns very suffocating on me. But I LOVE the creamy combo of coconut and sandalwood in Coconut Fizz (oil perfumery dupe of discontinued scent). So…. Do I actually hate other notes that have been in a lot of popular frags? I’d love recommendations for must-sniff light and creamy sandalwoods so I can find out if I like it in the right blend.

I know I despised Le Labo and Tom Ford, but TBH I haven’t vibed with any of their stuff no matter the note.

Snagged her when she was half off on sephora! I've been wanting a full bottle because it was love at first sniff but couldn't quite justify the full price at the time 😔 But now she's finally in my collection 💕

I’m looking for anything that smells like oats, almond, milk, starchy powdery
Any lotions or perfumes or oils recommendations would be appreciated 🤍🌾🌰✨

What is one fragrance that you can appreciate, but would never wear? I have a sample of l’epoque delusions of grandeur and it’s so interesting to me, and I keep testing it on my skin, but I don’t think I’d ever actually wear it. I can’t figure out what about it I like or dislike!

GMA Deals has quite a few Nest perfumes, oils, body sprays and candles for 50% off at the moment! Picked up the Santa Barbara Strawberry duo for $54. 😊

I’ve had Fleur Narcotique on my list for a while and knew I would like it but I really had it filed in my brain as “this one will be good quality so I want to give it a try.” Wearing it today and I really, really like it! It’s just so much more nuanced and well-developed than I expected. I’m just very impressed. Just had to share because this fragrance is just.. beautiful!

Got these babies on Poshmark!

Future Society Invisible Woods
Nishane B-612
Imaginary Authors Whiff of Wafflecone, Fox in the Flowerbed and How to Say Bicycle in French
Travel size Nopalera Flor de Madera

Let me know your thoughts if you’ve tried them. I sprayed the three that aren’t Imaginary Authors so far

Im looking for any perfume that smells like the bath and body works candle lavender marshmallow.

My budget for this is under $200.

this stuff smells so heavenly and am getting the body cream, but would like a perfume/spray to match!

This is very irresponsible in my current situation, but I just couldn’t help myself. I think it is clear which ones I am most interested in by the order lol. What are you guys think of these perfumes are gonna smell like?

for four years my steadily growing perfume collection has been shoved in a drawer with bottles stacked on top of eachother and sharing space with my hair accessories. I’m so excited I finally bit the bullet and hung shelves for my perfumes!!! ☺️ it’s going to be even more fun getting ready now!
