Another freebie, but it sounds more interesting, earthy, unusual green notes, spices, florals, oud…

Yeah, I really like this so far. Sparkling smokeyness, reminds me a bit of the smell of fresh bandages. Makes me think of a morgue.

Background sweetness comes out later. Kinda fruity, juicy. Vanilla comes out.

Overall really nice aftershavey sharpness and dryness, warm and resinous. And smells like bandages. Really like it.

Hmmm. Gets much more floral later. Still wood and incense and vanilla, but powdery rose is the main smell. Makes me like it less, but If I was going to get a perfume this’d be it. Maybe that’s why I made the colour for this post a grey-red; I knew it was coming…

Got this as a freebie in an order, have never liked neroli when I’ve smelt it, but giving it a go.

Very much a powdery white floral scent, a little bit grassy. Fragrantica said there’s a lot of citrus, that’s why I was interested, but I’m only getting a very faint amount in the background. I thought this had a chance to be Summery, but neroli is very stuffy to me. Starts to become sweet and vanillay.

Ended up washing it off.

This is gorgeous too. Slighty smokey and something else intriguing—is it green?, is it floral? Gets creamier, similar kind of spikey spiciness as Fig Extasy, but less harsh, but also not figgy . . . maybe lightly figgy…

I’d like it to be stronger, curious about the extrait version now. Yeah, reminding me of Fig Extasy more and more, but a creamier version. Really nice.

Enjoying having a cool day again to test smells like this :)

When I went to bed it smelt like wet coconut pulp.

Oh wow, what’s this. Airy, powdery, sharp, sweet smokeyness I can’t stop smelling. Big sugary sweetness underneath, dunno if it’s fruity or floral. Kinda camphor smell under the smoke too. Really fills my nose. Later smooth and bitter chocolate, I think that’s partly tonka bean? Clearer later that that smokiness I like is partly a cedar wood; notes say sandalwood though…

If I ever had a perfume shop I’d have little samples of different notes you could smell, that’s be really cool, ‘cause there’re so many things I see in the listed notes that I don’t have any idea about.

I haven’t got any fig at all. Initially white floral / jasmine, later mostly vanilla. My partner said it smelt just like the CK One she wore as a teenager.

I was walking around doing errands and things, so don’t feel like I got to give it a real good sniff after the first five minutes. It was nice walking around in the heat wearing it, even though I haven’t liked other jasminey perfumes.

Supposedly inspired by the Dali drawing Homme Figuier.

Very bright, fresh lemon skin to start, grapefruit, orange juice, sugary; I like this opening a lot. After it’s a light, warm sweet citrus, very much a skin scent.
Haven’t got any green tea.

My first thought was very fizzy green lolly. Later it was cleaning product, dishwashing liquid. A review on Fragrantica mentioned vitamin C tablets, and that fits too. I thought this might be interesting :( The gingery fizzyiess is fun though, a very sharp kind of fizziness, like Hydralyte or Berocca.

I wonder what it would be like if I smelt it on someone else, instead of sticking my nose right in it.

Ugh, so soapy and waxy. Crayon-like. Stuffy. Had to wash it off, remaining smell a bit like a blackcurrent lolly.

This was thrown in as a freebie in an order. Suspicious.

Some boring vanilla smell. A slight hint of saltiness later. Can’t people just get shit like this at the Body Shop or something? Personally offended someone would pay $250 for a bottle of this.

Pleasant, fresh, lemon scent. A little bit of a generic, soapy moisturiser smell. A little bit woody if you put your nose right to the skin. I don’t smell tea, unless you count a lemon herbal tea smell; it’s that kind of lemon. Nice enough, but not unique, not at all worth $288.

After a couple of hours the only remaining scent is a faint musk that reminds me a lot of a part of Another 13 by Le Labo.

A quiet, sweet, powdery musk. Tiny bit soapy if you really get close and breath in, but it doesn’t bug me like that usually does. Doesn’t seem to change. It’s a pleasant scent to wear when you don’t want to wear much, but nothing interesting or exciting.
