Perfume Log


Humboldt

Julian Bedel Fueguia 2010
13 Feb 2024 Hot day 1.5ml sample

Sugary, clear-lolly-sweetness. Fizzy. Shower gel, but the lollyness dulls the freshness a little. Not me.

Melon lolly?


Wood Infusion

? Goldfield & Banks 2016
12 Feb 2024 Cool night 2ml sample

Wearing Wood Infusion again—I like the opening so much i want to love the whole thing. Working really well: cool night after a hot day. Enjoying it a lot again, it’s stayed sweet and creamy.


Eau de Gingembre

Alberto Morillas Mizensir 2015
12 Feb 2024 Hot day 1.5ml sample

Nice citrus, a bit of a ginger sting, goes floral but nicely. Citrus actually lingers. Wearing it on a very hot day, walking to shops etc. nice, light.

All these citruses are starting to smell the same, could probably buy any of them…

Seems discontinued.


Velvet Splendour

Wessel-Jan Kos Goldfield & Banks 2019
11 Feb 2024 - - 2ml sample

Soapy and bitter, very close to dog soap again. Feels a purple colour…fades away to very light nothing pretty quickly, thank fuck.


Blue Cypress

François Merle-Baudoin Goldfield & Banks 2016
10 Feb 2024 Night 2ml sample

Bodywash and toothpaste. Fresh and minty. It’s not unpleasant, but why would I spend money to smell like a bit of old chewy.


Sunset Hour

Honorine Blanc Goldfield & Banks 2021
10 Feb 2024 Sunset 2ml sample

Big sweet smell, sharp like caramelised sugar, slightly soapy, rubber/plastic. Raspberry, bitterness of quandong. Not enjoying this, okay if you smell in passing rather than put your nose right up to it. If you can stick with it for a few hours it gets creamy and sweet with a little bitter edge, but i don’t think i can again. Nothing sunset about it.


Salado

? Carner Barcelona 2019
10 Feb 2024 Warm afternoon 1.5ml sample

Fresh citrus, sweet, a bit floral. gets more floral, white flowers/orange blossom. Probably too sticky-floral for me, but will keep the tester.

Vibes not smells: friendly, casual, fresh clothes in the sun, hot summer garden.

A few hours later there wasnt much smell, but my skin smelt warm like I’d been in the sun.


Southern Bloom

François Merle-Baudoin Goldfield & Banks 2018
09 Feb 2024 - - 2ml sample

Just getting a big ball of flowers, like a florist. Powdery, a bit stuffy, tickles my nose. When it dries i get coconut, but not obnoxiously. Not into these kinds of smells on myself or others. Vanilla a half hour later as other things tone down. A little smokey, getting okay actually! Still it’s the same as every other vanilla/musk perfume.


Silver Mountain Water

Oliver Creed, Pierre Boudon Creed 1995
06 Feb 2024 - - 1.5ml sample

Bitter citrus very briefly. Mostly body wash, fake mint, toothpaste, but actually okay. Gets right up my nose in an annoying way. A hint of woodyness later. Might be nice for Summer by a pool, but the Creed branding grosses me out.


Aymara

? Miller et Bertaux 2022
06 Feb 2024 - - 1.5ml sample

First impression is of a nice, light, fresh, masala chai. Cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, . . . Would be nice in warm weather; spring, summer. Later it seems a bit harsh and perfumey, but also kinda nothing?


Wood Infusion

? Goldfield & Banks 2016
05 Feb 2024 - - 2ml sample

Nice and sweet at the start, vanilla, almost honey. Like it less later, just patchouli, oud, lavender balanced in a way I don’t quite like.
