Perfume Journey-- Finding YOUR signature scent
11
items Finding a perfect scent is like finding a perfect partner-- the wrong one can leave you with a headache but the right one can have you basking in yourself all day. :) I said what I said. I am starting my perfume journey and trying all kinds of new sc...
The very first perfume I ever bought. SEXY!!! Sweet but spicy. Do you want to smell like Jessica Rabbit wearing a tight dress and smoking a cigarette in a jazz club? This is the one.
Deep Red by Hugo Boss
This smells like you slept over at a sexy man/masc's house and ended up wearing their shirt to work. It's spicy like black pepper and incense, and it wears gorgeously on clothes. It's a little basic at times, so I like to layer it with something swee...
Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf
The EASIEST and I mean easiest full size buy in my whole collection. Literally smells like a Nora Ephron movie. It's sooo familiar, comforting, wearable. I wear this when I want to smell like a rich librarian. Or-- you know when you're traveling, and...
Indigo by Nest
Like your skin, but warm and soft and sweet. Very easy, very wearable, very layerable. I reach for this when I want to smell good but also forget I'm wearing perfume. Also it may just be me, but it kinda smells like if vanilla macarons were only the ...
Hyper Musc by Courreges
The egginess, the floury note, the sugary finish-- this smells like you walked into a bakery the hour before opening, and they are still stirring up raw ingredients on the counter. It's not my favorite but as soon as I smelled it I sent it to a frien...
Mooncake by D'Annam
This is what it says-- blooms. It's basically like holding your head in a flower bouquet, but with the hint of your grandma standing behind you holding that potpourri they put in church bathrooms. (I don't love flowery fragrances like this.) BUT-- I ...
Bloom by Gucci
Less like a celestial object and more like the scent an astronaut takes to space to remember home. To me it reminds me of bookshops, almond gelato, and something sad. Wayyy sweeter than expected. A gourmand for sure but light. Stronger than expected....
Celestial Object by Liis
So this is how I learned I don't love florals. Unfortunately it was because I smashed this sample on the floor of my bathroom immediately upon opening the package. So my bathroom *has* been smelling like Hibiscus for a week or so. But the upside-- it... It's just not my favorite.
Hibiscus Mahajád by Maison Crivelli
This is hanging out in a bar, drinking whiskey and smoking a cigarette. It's very bourbon and smoky at first, then it smooths out into more of a men's body wash fragrance with a little kick. It's strong, it's pleasant, it's moody. It's not my favorit...
Jazz by Zernell Gillie

This is the scent of that hot girl who is at the beach and somehow doing her nails underneath an umbrella while sparkly lotion and sipping a pina colada and none of those things are getting sandy. She smells like Sun Bum sunscreen and she's got new s...
Hair and Body Mist Travel - St. Barts Scent
You know when you open a magazine that has several fragrance samples in it and they all kind of blend together and you can't smell particular notes of any of them so the scent is just “perfume”? That's what this smells like to me. Idk, it didn't work...
