items Fragrances and scents that have made a home in my collection <3
I'm new to fragrance and perfumery, so I might not have all the technical language down, but I've really fallen in love with the mood change that a scent can bring and the way scent and memory are so often attached. Perfume has brought me both confid...

Florals, for Spring? Groundbreaking
Actually, I'll wear my florals year-round, thanks ;)
It's honestly worrisome how much I've fallen in love with this scent. I picked up a mini of this when I was browing through boutiques with my best friend when I visited her in Philly, and it's become one of my everyday fragrances. It's fresh and clea...
Lollia Breathe Luxury Eau de Parfum
Beautiful gives sharp and crisp florals with hints of citrus and woods, all blanketed in a luxurious warmth. It is just the right amount of powdery to be timeless without crossing over into overdone. The bottle and packaging also reflect this emphasi...
Beautiful Eau de Parfum Spray | Estée Lauder
If Beautiful was the scent passed down to me, then Beautiful Magnolia is the version I chose for myself rather than as an homage to my Nana. This perfume is a crisp, refreshing take on the timeless floral, and it makes me feel both elegant and young....
Beautiful Magnolia Eau de Parfum Spray | Estée Lauder
More florals, shocking I know, but hear me out. While I do enjoy Clinique Happy, and have bought the full-size bottle of that a few times, after the first time I received a mini of Happy In Bloom along with my order I knew I was a convert. This versi...
Clinique Happy in Bloom
This scent is so comfortable and refreshing. It surprised me by being a little crisper on me than on paper. The aquatic notes in this fragrance really pop on my skin, and it's the first fragrance I adore that breaks into that family.
I consider this as an afternoon-into-evening scent that stays with you late into the night. The kind you wear to get aperitivi and then stay out until midnight accidentally.

Dolce&Gabbana Dolce Eau de Parfum for Women
This white floral keeps cropping up in my daily rotation because the underlying breathe of sweetness that clings yet remains subtle beneath the floral & citrusy notes is so refreshing and pleasant. This feels feminine and flirty but crisp and lig...
Burberry London Eau de Parfum 100mlWhite - Women
Just a HINT of Sweetness
No, seriously, just a hint.
Tried this because it got added into my cart when I was picking out test vials and thought 'oh well, sure, I'll try' and WOW am I glad I did because I loved this so much more than I expected.
The sweetness here is so subtle and inviting, not cloying like I struggle with in a lot of other gourmands or sweet fragrances. I love how expensive and luxurious this smells. Didn't think I'd categorize a fragrance that way or value it so much, but ...

Jimmy Choo Eau De Parfum
While I love a body mist, many of the Cheirosa scents are too sweet for me, which is why only 1 of the 3 I own is joining this list. That being said, I'm on my second bottle of this, and I love it. It still has a fruity sweetness to it, but it's mana...
Cheirosa 76 Perfume Mist
I'm still not one for gourmands, but I do enjoy this scent. I typically wear it as a sleep scent. I started with the eos lotion in this scent, and I'll spray this on my sheets on nights I've applied lotion to fall asleep in the warmth. It's very cozy...
eos Vanilla Cashmere Body Mist
If you like juicy florals, this is the pick for you. L'interdit opens with the juiciest pear note I've ever smelled. It's to die for. It settles into a heady mix of the pear and bergamot, but it remains fresh and bouncy (if one is able to describe a ...
L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Floral
Alright, this is more than a hint of sweetness, but I don't care. It's sooooo good. Matcha is huge right now, I know, but this body mist smells so creamy (but not sickly sweet. think unsweetened almond milk) and it balances out with bitterness of the...
Matcha Milk - Body Mist
Spicing it up
Welcome to Flavortown. No, wait. Wrong sense.
Another banger from CK, Eternity is spicy and intriguing without being overwhelming. It's ~interesting~ which is so good for my ADHD brain. I'll take a whiff at my wrist as a refocusing tool, and this fragrance is one of the best at keeping me engage...
ETERNITY Eau De Parfum For Women
I want to BATHE in this. It's sexy and mysterious and every time I wear it I can't stop sniffing my wrist and sighing in happiness. Genuinely love.
The opening is bold and sensual, with the violet and blackcurrant emerging most on my skin. The heart is luxurious and creamy, and again, douse me in it. The base is comfortable but remains interesting and engaging. Definitely more of a night fragran...

Crystal Noir Women's Perfume
Originally ended up with this as a heavily-discounted blind buy when I was selecting test vials, and it has grown on me to the point I wear it once a week. The opening is a little harsh on me (but smells amazing on paper), but the dry down into the h...
