#sotd lush layers. My Mercari find of Citizen Queen and the last drops of Masque Milano L'Atessa. I have a 5 ml decant of the latter so I can return to this absolutely powdery, musky trip down vintage makeup lane. Leather, orris, orange blossom, and tuberose weave a siren's song 🧜🏻‍♀️🎶 #fragrancesky

#sotd began with the bad decision of inviting Amouage Existence onto my person and could feel the migraine thunderheads looming. Scrubbed and am now basking in a linden-tuberose solar flare of L'A La Chasse aux Papillons and Kerosene Pretty Machine to banish any threat of a dark day. #fragrancesky

#sotd Olympic Orchids Chevalier Vert. May upsize after my 2027 project Pan. Crushed green stems between your fingers; pearlescent like a fresh pea. Growing up on a modest 1/16 acre lot filled with peas, plums, strawberries, green beans, potatoes, blueberries, and squash. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#sotd Plum^2. Shay & Blue Black Tulip layered with Penhaligon's AlUla. Deeeelicious. Stewed plum in spices. The white chocolate is beautifully toned down by the tobacco. Half temped to buy AlUla just to layer with Black Tulip. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#sotd Nobile 1942 A'Grazia. Nostalgia bottled. A dusty, funky, spicy, barely there musk folded around roses and chocolate, the fruity nuances of those are highlighted with the bitterness of raspberry. Dries down to Imaginary Authors Cape Heartache without the strawberry. #fragrancesky

The dent! #sotd is one of my favorites in a full bottle collection of 40 (we don't talk about samples, minis, and decants 🤫). The intoxicating aniseed and bitter almond was straight apple cider. Oddly soothing like a mug of something steaming passed to hands chilled from the wind. #fragrancesky

#sotd Arquiste Indigo Smoke. By morning a smokey, enveloping tea that swirls and whirls to reveal a soft peach and airy incense by the evening. Glad I scored this travel spray because the watercolor love has become a passing faded like. #fragrancesky

#sotd Aēsop Gloam. Perfect for the first day back in clinic and first full day of fall. Calm enough to quell anxiety of sickness and spicy enough to keep my nose dancing 🪩. It's warm and enveloping, and just when you think it faded to a memory, it sweetly rises to your nose #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#sotd Rhianna Nude and Gucci Bloom Intense layered with Givenchy L'interdit Rouge Ultime and L'interdit Absolu. I am Tuberose, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine to the nth power. A boozy floral bomb went off and I'm dancing through the ruins of cocoa, cardamom pods, lavender, and tobacco. #fragrancesky

#sotd Essential Parfums Neroli Botanica layered with Mont Blanc Signature Absolue. Very disappointed with NB so on went a juicy sweet tuberose to balance out the undisclosed macromolecule that makes so many contemporary perfumes smell like gummy bears to me. Pleasant but not me. #fragrancesky

#sotd Pierre Cardin Choc de Cardin.was stronger than the labdanum nightmare White Whale turned into and this went on. Still getting to know this capital C CHYPRE. Settles down from dark green sparkle of aldehydes to subtle butterfly wing flutters of honeyed rose amongst the moss. #fragrancesky

#sotd Masque Milano White Whale shifts in the light and with the hours like a kaleidoscope. A crisp black leather persists until it's overtaken by the icy herbals of frankincense and salt against a subtle soft violet and iris. Got 6 hours before an oppressive labdanum took over. #fragrancesky

#sotd orthopaedic appointment and errands on an overcast, nearly fall day calls for some violet and iris overload. The violets in the rain of Apres have bloomed into a whole garden of delights.

#sotd Robert Piguet Fracas. A glorious celebration of the divine juicy tuberose fragrance that is grand dame to them all. She's lost some luster with reformulations but is still, "a warm hug from a rich aunt".

#sotd Try it again Thursday. I think I'm getting the hang of layering. This was gorgeous. The undercurrent of juicy citrus and unctuous honey along with plush herbals and petal soft florals was enveloping. Bee is now on the wishlist once I finish Snif Honey Suite. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#sotd Moschino Toy 2 Pearl. A lovely surprise from a designer fragrance and held up strong on my skin. Opening is by far the best part - a tart and herbal blast that stays out of cleaning product territory with the non 🧼 🫧 jasmine grandiflorum that dries to a pretty floral. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#sotd Pacifico by Surfaces+Snif collaboration. Opens with a breath of electric green spice. The breath breaks as a wave over the body with foamy fresh bubbles then settles in as warm, freshly washed skin with strong sillage. One of last month's birthday blind-buy successes! #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#sotd Intimate Fantasy. Powdery, slightly sweet orris and violet fragrance that lasted for 4 hours. An echo of my JM Mallow in the Moors, JHAG Citizen Queen, and MM L'Attesa.

#sotd Sample Saturday Arquiste Ella. Fleeting but urinous opening in the best way; the honey, Jasmine, and Artemisia work the hardest to draw you in. The herbal qualities of both join forces with the carrot seed and cardamom as the sweat of a 70's style chypre cools on the skin #perfumesky #scentsky

#sotd Motivate me to stay cool Monday 😎. Jlo Still, that usually wears cold iced tea but today hit me hard with a lemon(?), accented behind my ears with my July b-day gift to myself, Olympic Orchids Chevalier Vert. A beautiful combination and #scentscaping is such a fun way to layer. #perfumesky

#sotd F* it Friday called for a reset. While the body was in a PT clinic, my nose was drifting through the nostalgia of warm skin, wood boardwalks, and boozy swills in the dying light of sunsets where the black dot of the sun is swallowed by sea. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#sotd Try it again Thursday. Mix one part Carnal Flower and another part Moon Carnival seasoned with the dank greenery of Eden and this is the result: very wearable tuberose without a journey and for me, no interest. Also, some tenacious aromachemical hung on through a clothes wash😖 #perfumesky

#sotd Wear What I Want Wednesday. Euan McCall's interpretation of a skin fragrance with rice and nutty notes. Unfortunately the oddly mineraled and starchy fragrance is so much like the heart of my beloved Sirenide that it was difficult to enjoy without making constant comparisons. #perfumesky

#sotd Wear What I want Wednesday could only be Diptyque Eau Duelle edt. I'm VERY picky with Vanillas. This one reads more woody to me with the background whisper of spice and whiff of vanilla bean is just enough for me to lean in a breathe deep. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#sotd Wit and West Honeysuckle Halcyon. Definitely inspired by the grand dames of vintage fragrances, Arpege and Habanita. However there is something in the Wit and West DNA that arises in the dry down that smells scratchy to me and settles on my skin like cardboard :/ #fragrancesky #perfumesky

From WitandWest.com:

HONEYSUCKLE HALCYON EAU DE PARFUM
Fruity & Heady White Floral

THE STORY OF THE PERFUME: A sweet and charming milieu evolves into a heady and narcotic heart with the rare honeysuckle and intense jasmine sambac. The timeless honeysuckle lingers on as the nostalgia is enhanced with the idyllic earthy zest of patchouli and vetiver.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PERFUME: Reviving the glitz and glamour of art deco, jazz, and the speakeasies of 1920’s Chicago, honeysuckle, a natural ingredient that's rare and difficult to source, proves worthy of the title of halcyon days in this sublime scent.

#sotd Melitodes by Marissa Zappas. Perfect immersive accompaniment for The Odyssey movie date. Such a delightfully herbal and waxy honey fragrance that lifts off the skin with body heat or empathetic fear for mythic battles.

Black skinny box on its side with the notes written in gold "thyme, honey, orris, sandalwood, musk". The standing oil is wrapped in black and gold wrapping with equally gold juice

Honey, musk, orris root, wild thyme,

Hello #fragrancesky and #perfumesky folks! Wit and West Miki Mochi managed to recreate the starchy but yielding texture of biting into a fruity mochi. I'm very impressed by this house's ability to craft juicy berries and stone fruit from florals.

From witandwest.com:

THE STORY OF THE PERFUME: A lively introduction of melon-like mimosa leaps to the fore. Honeyed-apricot and plum-like osmanthus notes create a hypnotic intrigue while violet leaf magnifies the emotion with a serene natural woodiness. Emerging from this blissful state, the dainty blend of orris butter and amyris afford an indulgent unwinding.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PERFUME: An ode to a beautiful Shiba Inu named Mochi and autumn in Tokyo when the Kinmokusei blooms, creating an irresistible scent on street corners throughout the city.
