Zara Vapeur Blanche Perfume Review
It’s been a few days of fog and mist, really perfectly mirroring the meditative mood of Vapeur Blanche from Zara. Olivia Giacobetti is the perfumer behind 4 perfumes for the brand, and the zen blend of eucalyptus, cucumber and steamy … Continue reading
Sisley Eau de Sisley 2
I almost didn’t feel like myself putting on this 80’s style chypre. It’s been a while since I’ve worn Sisley Eau de 2 because I’ve been leaning into my cozier perfumes more, and really wearing my samples a lot. This … Continue reading
Serge Lutens Borneo 1834 Perfume Review
The road is not straight, it’s twisty, turny, and sometimes there are cliffs, except they only feel like cliffs, so you squeeze your eyes shut and hope to not feel anything, but then you land on your feet and can … Continue reading
Fig Perfumes in My Collection
The new #Dioriviera beside #Philosykos edt. Really more than enough of the fig note for me, and I’m finding both of these to be similar. The Dior fig feels rounder and warmer, the Diptyque more fruity. But they’re both green and summery and wearable.

Smells exactly the way you thought it would: Satsuma from The Body Shop.
Guerlain Bois d’Armenie Perfume Review
For today, and every day that there’s a chill in the air, there’s Bois d’Armenie. It smells just like the Papier d’Armenie but before you burn them. This is a benzoin-vanilla but I wouldn’t call it gourmand, it’s a similar … Continue reading

Shalimar eau de Cologne
A summer Shalimar, this eau de Cologne is taking me to the end of the season and into fall. My favourite thing about the vintage versions is that they’re more interesting than the vanilla bomb that Shalimar is known for … Continue reading
Summer Incense Perfumes
Incense two ways, each of them perfect for these crisp late summer days. It’s 8 degrees in the morning and 22 in the afternoon, so I don’t want to wear a fresh perfume but I also want something too heavy … Continue reading
