A focused review of I Want Choo Le Parfum
What did I try?- Jimmy Choo I Want Choo Le Parfum, $150 for 100mL What are the notes?- Did I like it?- It was okay. Not my favorite, but not the worse. There is something synthetic feeling on the top when I smell it on my skin, but that goes away for me after a…

If you already like Delina by Parfums de Marly…
I approached a stranger minding her business, as was I. She turned to me, “You smell good.” “Thank you. No one ever notices.” “Well, you do.” I was wearing Delina Exclusif by Pafums de Marly. I don’t often get fragrance compliments, so when I do I take note. If you somehow escaped the virality of…

Athalia by Parfums de Marly was not what I expected
When I saw the dark bottle of Athalia by Parfums de Marly, I was expecting something dark, deep, ambery, and brooding, deep. What I got when I sprayed it on my skin was something more sweetly feminine, a powdery floral. But you know what? I like it. I have been wearing this fragrance for a…

This was supposed to be a review: Moon Glory by The Harmonist
There was something that initially drew me to Moon Glory by The Harmonist, and I have no idea what it was. I couldn’t explain to you what it was that I smelled on the first encounter at The Conservatory, I just knew that I wanted to keep smelling it. But now, at the start of…

Rolling on Nest’s Wild Poppy
After a week of playing with this scent, I can speak to my thoughts on Nest’s Wild Poppy. It is floral. I can’t really place it or come up with a good comparison. Nest classifies this as a fruity floral, with notes of raspberry, pear, and rose. My basic nose got none of that, just…
