Well, we had a great time. It’s crazy how when we started these little smell-a-thons, we would be fatigued after 20 samples, and now we just run out of time.
We started with the Zoologist and let me tell you, if you want to do this, then starting with Zoologist is really fun. We guess the notes and try to match the scent to the animal. This time we started a completely subjective rating system and we all agreed that T-Rex came out on top. It’s the end of the world and this is what it smells like smoke, rubber, cigarettes, tires, and then there are also some more traditional perfume accords. We love it and none of us need to own it, but keep in mind that we’ve bought and sold bottles of Bee and Camel between the three of us.
We also decided to smell a Box Au Parfum from Nez La Revue which was interesting. And smelled all the ambrette-centric perfumes we could find. Glossier You, Chanel 1957, Diptyque Fleur de Peau. They were all there, so there was something for everyone.
Finally, Le Labo The Noir 29 stole the show. Maybe because the gentle blend of fig and tea kind of felt cleansing. We all put it on our wishlist, and are looking for a travel size.
We love a good travel size, although I’m slowly going over to the go big or go home crew. Do you have times like these? Get all the samples out and smell smell smell?
See anything you like?
