Replica Lazy Sunday Morning Perfume Review
You don’t have to douse yourself in citruses in the summer. Laundry musk with a hint of aldehydes and a soft pear can be just as reinvigorating. The fruity-laundry musk was redone by Frederic Malle for Acne Studios, but some … Continue reading

Hermes Paddock Perfume Review
It’s not a horse, it’s a unicorn. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s how I feel about this illustration on the 2025 edition of Hermes Paddock. Almost nothing is known about this release, sent into the world in a very limited fashion. Last year’s … Continue reading
The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods Perfume Review
Starting off the week with some vanilla. The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods is one that’s more vanilla than woods, and is the vanilla equivalent of a grocery store birthday cake. It’s yummy but plain, mass-appealing but inoffensive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Diptyque Milan Candle
Geranium season thanks to this Diptyque Milan candle. The throw is softer than the holiday Diptyque candles, but I prefer it that way because it means that I can burn my candle longer and enjoy its beautiful glow. The candle … Continue reading
Eris Mx Perfume Review
SALT. Olfactory magic in Mx. creates the scent of salt without using any of the actual material. Maybe it’s the use of spices that are adjacent to the salt in my kitchen that gives me that salty scent, without it … Continue reading
Prada Day for Night Perfume Review
