Just some of the samples I’ve ordered….more on their way. I may have taken the “treat yourself” a bit too far this time

Tauer Perfumes - Geranium Absolue (2026) I do have a predisposition for geranium, but I would recommend this to just about anyone. Delightfully green and fresh, with just the right amount of vanilla sweetness, the whole geranium flower comes to life. I sense a full bottle purchase coming. Sigh.

I went on a rampage of buying perfume samples and discovery sets, and 2 full bottles. Sniff season is upon us.

Got my nose on this new released from Frederic Malle yesterday. Overall, I wasn’t impressed. Some interesting spices, but then became rubbery upon dry-down. Neither adventurous nor cozy.

Huh…am I into “soapy” perfumes now? Didn’t see that coming!

On it’s own, Monte Kush (Extra Virgo) leaned a bit too hard into cannabis and rosemary for my liking. Layered with IDKW (DS & Durga) tempers the greenery, and combined become a very exotic floral that is absolutely delightful. Took me some time to unlock the right pairing. #fragrancesky #perfume

I’m struggling to find an apple-forward perfume for autumn. Most perfumes seem to either go heavily into vanilla or wood (which, are fine, but not what I’m looking for). I really want a juicy apple accord that stays for the dry-down, even if other notes are part of the story. #perfumesky

I broke my own rules and blind-bought a bottle of “London Fog” by Brandt, and I have 0 regrets. The lactonic and earl grey melange is the perfect level of saccharine, and the way the fresh green notes linger after dry down ensures that this sweetness never becomes cloying. #fragrancesky

Phew… life got busy, blinked and suddenly it’s been months since I’ve been on Bluesky. Since then, bought a few more nice perfumes, tested samples… How is everyone? #fragrancesky #perfumesky

BDK Parfums - Vanille Caviar (2025) A peculiar blend of domestic warmth and flamboyant panache. Homemade vanilla pudding paired with opulent boozy notes - kir royale, imbibed while in pyjamas. The perfume is “hygge” and “raffinatezza” distilled. What a feat. #perfumesky #fragrancesky #scentsky

Ode Ona - Moonkissed Rhapsody (2025) I fell in love with this soft, drowsy lavender musk wrapped in hay and a trace of vetiver — I found it soothing, like a faded old sweater that you put on in the morning. No one else seemed to notice; they just called it meh. #fragrancesky #perfumesky #scentsky

I would appreciate any advice on perfume discovery sets by US based niche perfume houses. I will be in the US at the end of the year, and want to take advantage to get some samples of perfumes I can’t get (easily) here in Europe. Thank you!! #perfumesky #fragrancesky #scentsky

Creed - Fragaria (2025) Something between stale strawberry bubble gum and some type of medicinal syrup for children. I can’t imagine who this would be for. It’s not off-putting or cloying, but if it were it may have actually been more interesting. #perfumesky #scentsky #fragrancesky

The 7 Virtues - Clementine Dream (2025) I really wanted to like this. I didn’t get the fresh clementine zest, or the citrus-creamsicle dry down. I just got screechy cleaning product. To be fair, I think my skin doesn’t love citrus notes in general. This one won’t be a match for me. #perfumesky

I’m on a trip to California, so I popped into a Sephora and tried these Lore scents. Nothing groundbreaking, but comfortably approachable. My favorite is “Lovely and a little twisted”, with Rose Milk, Pistachio, and Patchouli. Sincere and simple. #perfumesky #Fragrancesky

I’m fascinated by this development. Squishmallows releasing 3 affordable ($58) perfumes inspired by their characters - a fruity floral, a “moody” floral, and a vanilla gourmand. Infused with DSM-Firmenich’s “EmotiWaves” technology, which is engineered to evoke feelings of happiness through scent.

I could not agree with this more. It took me a while to accept that I don’t love certain notes or fragrances. I really started loving fragrance once I relaxed about it and just focused on the enjoyment of the craft.

A fresh set of samples delivered from Nose, Paris. One of my favorite perfume shops. I told myself to be spendthrift this month….oh well. The treats will continue until morale improves. #perfumesky #fragrancesky #perfume #paris

Giorgio Armani - Haute Couture en Jeu (2024) Everything about this perfume confused me. The sticky-sweet bubblegum-pink bottle and juice belie a green floral perfume with bite. There is a lovely beautiful rose and geranium melange, topped with fresh basil…but not worth the hefty price tag. #perfume

New Notes - New Leather (2021) Polished and rebellious, saffron and pink pepper give a clean cut of heat before iris and supple suede smooth the edges. The drydown is urbane and magnetic, as it settles into woody perfume on a broken in and well aged leather jacket. #fragrancesky #perfunesky

New Notes - Mangomina D (2025) I love New Notes for their proudly loud scents. This is no exception, flagrantly fruity, creamy, and spicy - this perfume is pure fun. If I wasn’t topped up on summer perfumes, I think I would buy this. Not really a cold weather vibe. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

Pierre Guillaume - A Une Madone (2021) Incense draped over a creamy woodsy vanilla accord and distant florals. This is sensuously sweet reverence, a church candle melting into warm skin. A quietly intoxicating canticle, both sacred and scandalous. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

Pierre Guillaume - Au Royaume des Femmes (2021) Sweet and powdery, with a resinous rose note that keeps the experience well-rounded. There’s no sharp edges here. The experience is very comforting, it’s like a soft tissue found at the bottom of your mom’s purse. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

I’ve been fighting off a nasty virus so haven’t been smelling much of anything lately. I have been intrigued by Lore’s releases - this one has cedarwood, black yea, cardamom, leather, and vanilla cream. Seems like the kind of cozy I need! #fragrancesky #perfumesky

I am wearing this again today. I maintain that it has a synthetic orange soda flair to it, but I still find it very fun, and lighthearted. This may be a full bottle buy next summer. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

From The Perfume Society: Perfumer Francis Kurkdjian explains , rubbing it 'will heat it up and change the chemistry of the scent . So be patient : waft your wrists about bit - they'll dry and your scent will; a) smell the way its meant to and b) last longer on the skin #PerfumeSky #FragranceSky

Pamela Anderson’s skincare brand Sonsie has appointed Kailey Bradt to be its new CEO. I think Pamela should release a new Eau de Parfum under Sonsie. Thoughts? What notes would be included? #fragrancesky #perfumesky

Fugazzi - Nocologne (2023) True to the Fugazzi DNA, this perfume is fun, vibrant, and rich. The opening is sticky-sweet citrus blast, that becomes jammy with hints of vetiver. This is cute, but I did find the opening a bit too artificial and somewhat cloying. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

The Geneva Fragrance Collection @gvafragcollection.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

Pierre Guillaume - Femme en Smoking (2021) Chic AF. This is a perfume for a night out, feeling your god damn oats. The feminine name belies an androgynous, sleek, spicy, and seductive fragrance. It’s that “ooh” it’s that “ah”. I’m. In. Love. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

Penhaligon’s - The Cut (2025) Spicy, sweet, clean, and soft. Praiseworthy for telling a coherent story, the perfume stayed true to a theme - clean-cut, tailored, and sharp. I like some stank in my perfumes, but I appreciated what #Penhaligon’s did with this scent. I would wear it, but would not buy.

Pierre Guillaume - Lumière Fauve (2021) A thick, rich, perfume that is deeply animalic and musky, that are enveloping in a very old-school gentleman sort of way. Brings to mind a cigar, a dinner jacket, and wafts of wood. Not something I’d wear every day, but nice. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

Pierre Guillaume - Arabian Horse (2016) Animalic and elegant, a beautiful “horsey” perfume, evoking a fun romp in the hay during spring time. The perfect amount of worn leather. Wearable and beautiful. Thank you @stinkdaemon.bsky.social for the recommendation. #fragrancesky #perfumesky
