burnt this candle for too long ignore how massive the flame is but I think noisetier might be my favourite diptyque candle scent

but blond vanilla is really nice I didn’t expect a scent like that to come from massimo dutti

seaside infusion was a soft fig green tea and the fig definitely gets more pronounced as it dries down. couldn’t really detect the cardamom but there was some vetiver in the opening. I think this one would be a nice easy reach for when you want a pick me up

was waiting for my mom at massimo dutti and was pleasantly surprised by these. I didn’t get the fruity opening in blond vanilla but I did get a lot of orris and vanilla grounded by patchouli. the drydown’s a lot woodier than I thought based on the notes and I actually really really liked this one

I’ve been meaning to smell clive christian’s red tea vetiver but I keep forgetting 🥹😭 the rooibos note is calling my name

like most of their perfumes, I think this one should also be renamed lmao I barely get any eucalyptus

if you have any of their body products in hinoki especially their body cream, eucalyptus 20 smells very similar to that

tried le labo’s new eucalyptus 20 and it’s spicier than I thought. it starts off with lots of spices and amber then it mallows out to this very earthy, almost medicinal wood. it has the classic le labo’s hinoki bath line dryness mixed with some incense on drydown

oooh is that cypress shade? I got a free sample of it recently but haven’t tested it out yet. curious to hear your thoughts on it

when they announced they were going to play lascia chio pianga the gasp I let out omg I was so excited it was so beautiful

went to an orchestra to see vivaldi’s four seasons and mozart’s symphony 25 and at the end they also played lascia chio pianga as a lil surprise gift it was such a perfect evening

bought a fb of bonbon pop (cause I’ve been obsessed with it for a long time and they had a really great deal hehehehe) but the second I opened the package I immediately smell essential parfums the musc and they really bathed my package in it cause it immediately filled up my room

I def go to trove too often cause tell me why when I opened my package from them I could pinpoint the exact perfume they doused the wrapper in

wtf is this 🤡

a diptyque opopanax candle would make my life tremendously better rn

the new zoologist with ylang ylang and jasmine I need it now

every night it’s a battle between my chamomile spearmint tea and my vanilla rooibos tea

bought this cause everytime I see ylang ylang I get reminded of how good this is it was haunting me and I have no regrets

sandalwood is so tricky on my skin I generally don’t do well with it but santal basmati save me santal basmati 😫❤️

to be in milan rn for esxence 🥹

when will I get my hands on a full bottle of harvest mouse 💔

revisiting grand soir cause the weather was perfect for it and I still love it. grand soir was what spiraled me into fragrances she’s so special to me. do I still think it’s the best amber? no, anubis dethroned her but she’s still gorgeous and a very good option regardless

this thread is so long what the hell taking my yapper claim seriously

anyway, I’ve always wanted to explore more local brand so this was such an amazing opportunity. really had to control myself from buying so many perfumes so I only got the ones that really really left an impression on me and I’m quite satisfied

and that’s all! copped rampai noir and received a free discovery set and I got to choose a 10ml sample of fuse’s failed creations which are basically scents that they forgot the formula of lmao it was fun picking one out. haven’t tried kura kura (tortoise) yet but will do. also bought majapahit 🤌🏻🤌🏻

rampai noir starts with strong pandan then it mellows out as jasmine, musk, and vanilla comes through. like the description, there’s only hints of animalic notes. the oud note actually gives a stunning woody base

I’ve posted this on fragcord as my sotd but my favourite is definitely rampai noir. bunga rampai is a mix of flowers used in traditional malay ceremonies like weddings and there’s different blends according to your scent preferences but they’ll always incorporate jasmine and pandan leaves

lastly is fuse kl! I’ve known this house for some time but was never really interested until they released their black label series last november. the cool thing about fuse kl is that they incorporate malaysian oud in all of their scents. their oud doesn’t smell overly animalic it’s very wearable

moving on, I actually got to smell ouru’s papa’s bread which I’ve been wanting to smell since their release. ouru is not a malaysian brand tho they’re indonesian. I’ve also posted this one on fragcord and it smells like a realistic toasted buttered bread. very delicious

also spotted a wild sombre at their booth. they also had a display of seminalis and inexcusable evil which was wild lmao
