It definitely isnβt too animalic on me and my skin tends to ramp up animalic notes! So Iβd say itβs pretty office safe. π

Bottle of Scherzo by Miller Harris
#sotd Scherzo by Miller Harris. Sparkly opening that becomes a honeyed rose and oud. It has sweetness to it which balances out the oud beautifully.

Middle: olibanum, narcissus, pittosporum, rose, peony
Base: patchouli, vanilla, oud, sweet notes

Bottle of Love Chloe perfume
#sotd Love, Chloe by Chloe. Very powdery floral, but rather than giving vintage vibes it gives the impression of wearing rather luxurious talcum powder.
Top: orange blossom, pink pepper
Middle: heliotrope, hyacinth, iris, lilac, wisteria
Base: talcum, musk, rice powder

Bottle of Paris Jardins Romantiques by YSL
#sotd Paris Jardins Romantiques by YSL. This is my favourite of the Paris flankers that Iβve tried. A real grassy rose thatβs not as intense as the OG. Lovely scent and bottle!

Base: musk, sandalwood

Bottle of Iris Nobile by Acqua di Parma.
#sotd Iris Nobile by Acqua di Parma. A powdery floral with quite an intensely citrus opening that makes it feel quite bright. Elegant, but overt!

Middle: iris, ylang ylang
Base: oakmoss, patchouli, vanilla

Box and bottle of Matcha by Kennedy Smith.
#sotd Matcha by Kennedy Smith. Why this is called matcha is beyond me, but I knew this before I bought it. Itβs a woody fig that starts off with bright citrus, then turns more creamy but retains a crispness to it. True unisex scent.
Notes: orange, fig, cedarwood

Bottle of The One by Dolce & Gabbana
#sotd The One by Dolce & Gabbana. An all-time favourite. I get ylang ylang from this despite not being listed, so maybe itβs the white florals with ripe fruit!

Middle: Lily, jasmine, lily of the valley
Base: vanilla, musk, plum, amber, vetiver

#fragrancesky #perfume

Box and bottle of Empressa by Penhaligonβs

They still sell it minus the βCherieβ, but I havenβt tested it to see if it smells the same!
Bottle of Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet by Dior
#sotd Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet by Dior. This was the Asian version of MDC. Itβs a light, sparkling floral thatβs very pretty and feels a bit like tea rose. You wonβt offend anyone wearing this, yet itβs not boring.

Middle: peony
Base: musk

Bottle of Blu Mediterraneo Mandorlo di Sicilia by Acqua di Parma
#sotd Mandorlo di Sicilia by Acqua di Parma. At first this smells like orange and vanilla, then the florals start to creep in (mostly ylang on me), and becomes more woody vanilla.

Base: vanilla, tolu balsam, musk
#fragrancesky
Yes! Iβve been doing the same! π

I was so excited by this find! The Opium smells exactly like I remember from the 80s. So strong! The Lauren I wasnβt familiar with, but itβs a typical big 80s style floral that I like. The Yvresse is the Legare version (I had the OG). Not as good as OG, but still lovely. Shalimar I already own! β€οΈβ€οΈ
Facebook Marketplace (the only reason I am still on FB π¬). Was over the moon with this find!
I never owned or smelled this one! I havenβt done a wear test, but itβs definitely a rather glorious vintage scent!

Bottle of Both Sides of Clouds by 4160 Tuesdays
#sotd Both Sides of Clouds by 4160 Tuesdays. This one sits so well on me. Light citrus, then light white flowers and iris with a chocolatey musk that is quite seductive.
Top: orange flower, lemon, bergamot
Middle: iris, narcissus, sandalwood
Base: musk, tonka, oakmoss, chocolate
#fragrancesky
Box and bottle of Luminique by Voyager
#sotd Luminique by Voyager. Melon tends to smell like rotting fruit on me, but the magnolia and base notes are making this wearable and more a fresh summer scent thatβs still melon forward.
Top: lychee, soju
Middle: melon, aquazone, magnolia
Base: ambroxan, musk

Box and sample vial of Rose Magnitude by Goldfield & Banks
#sotn Rose Magnitude by Goldfield & Banks. My sample arrived! Starts off rose and iris with hints of raspberry, but doesnβt translate to a fruity rose. A bit of spice enters, as does a delectable woody tonka that feels quite resinous. I would say it shares some DNA with Silky Woods. ππΌ
#fragrancesky
I love this one!
Bottle of Paris 1948 by 4160 Tuesdays
#sotd Paris 1948 by 4160 Tuesdays. Very peachy chypre! Also plenty of orange blossom and oakmoss, but I think youβd need to like peach for this one - which I do.
Top: peach, grapefruit, basil
Middle: rose, cedarwood, orange blossom, rosewood, honey
Base: oakmoss, hay, musk, labdanum
