sotd: jasmin de pays by perris monte carlo. girl math got me to buy a 100 ml bottle right away 🙈 snagged this for $70 on Mercari (with $10 in sales still in my account) and a 9 ml decant was $30. What’s a girl going to do 🤷🏻‍♀️

sotd: lilac soliflore after lilac soliflore after lilac soliflore ☺️

Also I’m already regretting getting just a 15 ml of lilac no 4

sotd: un air d’apogee by maison violet. finally warm enough for this one to get its due. this perfume feels like wearing a sweater on a summer night and it just loses something in colder weather

was looking up reviews for a perfume I’m interested in sampling and…. I mean that’s a description for sure

sotd: desperately trying to force myself to use what I have (bc I have SO much). Layered dialogue with Venus by Pierre guillame and innocence by Poesie. Together they’re a very beautiful, hyperfeminine peach. Not quite me, but that’s what exploration is about!

omg I struck GOLD at the thrift today. boudoir by vivienne Westwood has been a holy grail thrift find of mine for almost a year 😭😭😭 and for $20!!!! I feel like I robbed them

sotd: soft tension by andrea maack. this bottle was a xmas gift from my very(!) generous in-laws. The combo of freesia and mate in this is unreal. It’s the only perfume I consistently get complimented on

This perfume began my obsession with perfumer alienor massenet

went to our local romance bookshop and could not resist buying the most beautiful copy of little women I’ve ever seen

sotd: l’air de ríen by miller Harris. I’m genuinely concerned by the dent I’ve put in this 100 ml bottle after just 2 months

the bad news is it’s snowing again here. the good news is there’s this cute bunny in my side yard.

Encens Suave by Matiere Premiere. 5% chance I buy it in the next few months. 70% chance I purchase in 2025.

This was my favorite of the incense scents I sampled last year. But a clear winter scent. Assuming I want it as much in Nov as I do now, I’ll buy it then.

Pogostemon by Fiele Fragrances. 10% chance I buy it in the next few months. 60% chance I buy it in 2025.

I need to finish sampling my capsule discovery set before deciding on my favorite. But this one blew me away. Again, this won’t transition as well to warm weather.

Winnie the Pooh by Mischief Academy. 30% chance I buy it in the next few months. 100% chance I buy it by the end of the year.

I love this. I think about it constantly. But I don’t think this will transition into warmer weather well, so I’ll likely hold off for now

Tea Tonique by Miller Harris. 40% chance I buy this.

I have to do a side-by-side comparison of this, tea service by chasing scents, and ethereal wave by Liis before deciding. 95% chance one of those is purchased.

Tea tonique has the best price but might be too citrusy
March 29, 2025 at 3:49 AM
Desert Fleur by Bohemian Reves. 75% chance I buy it.

I’m still searching for my perfect desert perfume and this is a very wearable patchouli/wood fragrance. I have to rule out sweet do nothing by DS & Durga first.
March 29, 2025 at 3:49 AM
sotd: Parisian musc by Matiere premiere. A beautiful light wood/fig musk scent perfect for the unseasonably warm 77 deg day we have today. It’s hard to not love this scent and I expect I’ll fly through this decant

sotn: pogostemon by fiele fragrances. Capsule parfumerie pmo bc I love all of them?? This is the only patchouli/chocolate scent that’s ever caught my attention. On paper, it’s interesting. On skin, it’s something else entirely. Ugh.

sotd: a flower for you by fiele fragrances from my capsule sample set. This was my fave of all I’ve tried, smells like a flower garden, soil and all. Earthy, floral and a little sweet from the vanilla. It’s limited edition so I think I may need to just bite the bullet and get a fb right away!
March 24, 2025 at 5:40 PM
I got to go to capsule parfumerie today in LA and it was AMAZING. The woman helping us out was so lovely! She encouraged us to sniff everything and smelled through nearly every scent in their line with us. My husband and I both left with our own discovery sets (his first ever)

souvenir shopping near Joshua tree and I snagged this vintage Stetson bottle for $3 ☺️
March 21, 2025 at 6:06 PM
too scared to go in bc the google reviews say they’re snotty and I’m not financially prepared to buy guerlain today
March 15, 2025 at 5:50 PM
sotd: la religieuse by serge lutens. I bought this sample in fall for the incense and was disappointed. Just pulled it out randomly and wow this such a great white floral for early spring. I’m so glad I revisited!
March 11, 2025 at 3:59 PM
sotd: the noir 29 by le labo. I treasure and love this decant but can’t justify the price on this one. le labo is so frequently scammed that I’m hesitant to buy it secondhand. This may be a scent I’m doomed to love for only a little while 💕
March 6, 2025 at 8:33 PM
I made a list of all the ones I want to try in the future!
March 4, 2025 at 10:15 PM
after discovering this strawberry tote I immediately needed to see if the brand made other ones and snagged this gem on Depop
