#sotd Angel Elixir by Mugler. Quite different to OG although I still get berries to start (not listed) and patchouli hints on drydown (also not listed). Otherwise a fluffy woody floral.

Top: pink pepper
Middle: orange blossom, jasmine, ylang ylang
Base: amber, vanilla, sandalwood

I’m a big fan of her work and how she interprets a story into scent. This one feels so sunny and happy.

#sotd Good Girl by Carolina Herrera. A gourmand floral. I get white flowers with hints of coffee and cocoa. Borders on being too sweet for me. It’s a like rather than a love.

Top: almond, coffee, bergamot
Middle: tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom
Base: tonka bean, cacao, vanilla

I wish it was used more! I love the slightly sharp fruitiness of it. This is a beautiful scent.

#sotd 1900 L’Heure De Proust by Les Bains Guerbois. I love the fresh, slightly tart opening that smells like blueberry citrus tea. It morphs into a lovely soft woody scent that has a touch of sweetness.

Top: blueberry, bergamot

Base: mate, vanilla

#sotd Nightstand by Perdrisat. I adore this - slightly peppery lilac and wisteria with correlating powderiness. Balanced with delectable licorice that is not overly sweet, but gives it a touch of earthiness and spice.

Notes: mandarin, pink pepper, licorice, wisteria, lilac, musk

#sotd Pitching Woo by One Way Bridge. This is delightful! Juicy peaches with soft creamy vanilla. More peach than vanilla, so it’s peachy sweet and the vanilla has been used with a much lighter hand. Flirty, as the name suggests.

Notes: peach, vintage vanilla ice cream

The perfume sounds sublime and I’m all for wearing something fancy while doing mundane stuff!

Oh, I’m not sure if you’re missing out or not! 😆 Personally I like all the Angel versions and have about half a dozen of them.

#sotd Tokyo Spring Blossom by 4160 Tuesdays. A delicate floral, but it’s difficult to pick notes apart from violet. Has a slightly vintage feel and leans a tad mossy on me.

Top: pink grapefruit, mandarin
Middle: violet, rose
Base: raspberry leaf, opoponax
