I smell good, you can too: Perfumes edition
12
items I've always been an aromaphile but I didn't fully buy into the power of fragrance until Covid. Spritzing on a new scent each day gave me something to look forward to and made me feel put together, even in my rattiest sweatpants. While my perfume tast...
This has been my signature scent for the past 3 years. Smells like eating a slice of apple pie while sipping a snifter of cognac in a marabou trimmed robe. Long lasting. I get compliments almost every time I wear this!
Angels Share Eau de Parfum
When the temperature hits above 65F I reach for this. If you want to smell like a gooey lemon blueberry bundt cake on a spring day (who doesn't) this is for you. Fairly long lasting.
Poets of Berlin Eau de Parfum – Vilhelm Parfumerie
I was blown away the first time I smelled Gris Charnel. This scent was made for moody fall days spent sipping chai in a park with a good book. It's complex with notes of cardamon, fig, and bourbon. It's a good unisex fragrance, leans a little masculi...
Gris Charnel Eau de parfum, 3.4 oz.
I am a floral hater but there's something about this fragrance that works for me. Maybe it's the sweet, juicy pear note, or the clean, almost laundry day finish. I reach for this when I need something light, fresh, and not overpowering. It's not as c...
'REPLICA' Springtime In A Park Eau de Toilette - Maison Margiela
This is such a fun perfume, it's complex but accessible. The name translates to "Christmas on the Balcony" and that's exactly what this evokes for me. The warm cinnamon and spicy chili notes meld perfectly with honey drizzled apricot and vanilla. Thi...
NOEL AU BALCON
he apex coffee fragrance IMO. This smells like waking up on a lazy Sunday morning to your partner making a fresh pot of coffee and serving you the perfect cup in bed. If you don't like coffee you will hate this but if you do you're in for a treat.
Awake Eau de Parfum, 3.4 oz.
This is mint at its best - leafy and verdant with minimal sweetness, like a sprig of mint straight from a garden. The grapefruit and bergamot bring a sharp brightness that adds balance. This smells even better on the dry down and lasts all day.
YOU OR SOMEONE LIKE YOU
One of the few blind buys in my fragrance collection. While this could've been a somewhat expensive FAFO I correctly (and luckily) guessed the lemon+oud+mint combo wouldn't disappoint. This is one of the more unisex fragrance I own. My friend's mothe...
Aoud Lemon Mint - Mancera Parfums
Full disclosure I did buy this initially because I heard this was what Rihanna smells like but I ended up pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It's a sweet and floral blend with notes of marshmallow and orange blossom. It's sexy in a soft, ...
Love, Don't Be Shy - KILIAN Paris
A unique fragrance, inspired by what it would smell like at the end of the world. On top are notes of popcorn and black pepper with a floral heart rounded out by notes of gunpowder and sandalwood. I feel like a badass when I wear this. Not for everyo...
LA FIN DU MONDE
I know, I know, Santal 33 is so overdone but don't let that put you off. It's a beautiful fragrance, especially for colder weather. The smoky wood, cardamom, and leather are accented by a hint of florals. This may be my most complimented perfume. A l... way so save yourself some $$$ and buy the travel size.
Santal 33 Eau de Parfum - Le Labo
Another winning combo of sweet, citrus, and floral. The acidity of the blood orange note plays really well with the cinnamon, licorice, and vanilla/caramel.
