(23M) Collecting Since 2021
Too lazy to write reviews for all. Happy to answer questions in the comments tho
My favourites (I’d save these in a fire) : Creed original vetiver (literally a lighter and more effervescent mysore sandal soap in a bottle), Tom Ford Tuscan leather (smelling like a brick, degenerates, but even Ellen love our shit 🗣️🗣️🗣️ iykyk). Lattafa Khamrah Qawha ( I would sacrifice all my niches to save this bottle) and Dior Fahrenheit (Don’t care much for the scent but was a gift from someone very special to me)
My go to office scents : Original Vetiver, Blue de Chanel EDP and polo oud when it is chilly outside
Most compliments : Sauvage EDT (ugh, am I right) ADG Parfum and SWY absolutely
Date night fragrances : SWY absolutely and Boss bottled Elixr (SOO UNDERRATED, I’m putting you boys on game. So so good)
Nights out : Mancera instant crush (has not been touched in a while unfortunately, consulting hours and all 😞)
Love it but don’t find an occasion to wear : YSL Y le parfum and Uomo signature
Stinkers : Wanted by night (one of my only blind buys, so synthetic makes me gag). Hawas ice (smells like room freshener, which I use it as now).
Next buy : Love the diptique bottle aesthetic, keen to buy a bottle after my self imposed ban of buying new perfumes end.
My advice for newbies :
- Quality >>>>>> Performance. Makes it way more enjoyable to wear
- There is a huge step up in smell and quality from budget to designer. But the benefits are marginal when you go from designer to niche. So do a lot of research and buy samples before you drop big bucks on it.
- Dont make your purchases from YouTuber suggestions alone. There are many underrated gems. Just try out everything at Sephora and SS like you own the place, they aren’t gonna shoot you if you don’t buy anything.
- Make a nice display. It makes your fragrances smell better (I don’t make the rules)
PS. Weird angle to avoid my reflection
