Guerlain’s “Peche Mirage” is so lovely with the beautiful peach and leather scent, but I can’t justify the $425 price tag for a brand new bottle. #samplethoughts #perfumesky

I also have a small decant of Dusita’s “Tonka Latte” and I may need a 30ml of it in the future. It’s so smooth and creamy with an airy feel to it. A perfumy gourmand latte scent. #perfumesky

I got a small decant of the newest Celine scent, “Un Été Français”. It smells like a lighter and diffusive version of Tom Ford’s “Eau de Soleil Blanc”. That makes my full size purchasing decision a lot easier. #perfumesky

My sentiments for this era

Commodity’s “Orris” and House of Bo’s “Casa Blanca” paired well together. An even prettier floral scent for a cloudy and cold Sunday. Also, why is it so cold in spring??

The ultimate freshly showered clean scent is “Ceramic” from Andrea Maack. Exactly like what OutKast said, “So fresh and so clean, clean”.

Feeling very chic wearing “Orphéon” by Diptyque in my comfy home clothes. This is so much nicer on skin! #perfumesky

“Moon Jasmine” from Scent Trunk is a gorgeous jasmine scent! It’s like being surrounded by wafts of jasmine under the moonlight skies. #perfumesky

Testing 2 perfume samples that I got for free with my orders and one of them made it to my wishlist. It’s also affordable and a a lot more interesting scent than the other one. The other one is a common mediocre scent that can found elsewhere, and the pricing for a full size at $275 is such a scam.

“Le Solstice” from Moncler is on my full size wishlist. I love the iris and sandalwood in it. #perfumesky

The local mall I went to often as a teen had a huge makeover during the last 15 years. It went from a typical 1990s aesthetics mall to a high end mall. I almost cannot recognize it from the inside. It’s too clean and minimalistic now.

I like the idea of “Strawberry Mochi” from d’Annam. It seems more like I want to eat the actual dessert snack than wearing a fragrance of it. It is quite realistic. #samplethought #perfumesky

Placed a perfume order of full size bottles this morning and I feel that it will be the last one for a long while. Unless I see a very good deal that I couldn’t resist. #perfumesky

Trying to finish my sample of “Voluptuous Oud” by Francesca Bianchi, but the scent is too bold for me after two sprays. I topped it with “Dual” by Andrea Maack, which lighten up the fragrance. #perfumesky

Amouage “Meander” is the only scent from the house that I want a full size bottle. I’m usually fine with the 2ml sample vials or small decants since Amouage scents are powerful stuff. Luckily, I found one with a good discount. #perfumesky

Debating with myself if I want to add “Warm Bulb” by Clue Perfumery to my full size purchase list. I need to do more wear test with my sample. #perfumesky

Tried “Valaya Exclusif” from PdM and it’s an alright scent. A warm and pretty white floral for spring. Not full size worthy for me. #perfumesky

✨ THE SCENT STRIP pre-orders open March 21 – National Fragrance Day! ✨ Click through for deets :)

During the recent sniffing session at Scent Bar, I got to smell several scents from Zoologist. The ones I’m interested in exploring further are “Harvest Mouse” and “Panda”. Not too out there and felt wearable. #perfumesky

The way Scent Bar set up their store by fragrance notes is fantastic. I was like a kid in a candy store sniffing so many different niche and indie perfumes. #perfumesky

Miller Harris “Etui Noir” makes a good going out to the movie scent. The movie is “Mickey 17”. #perfumesky
