 Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy Eau de Parfum

Smells like playing toon town when I was 11
Opening smells like delicious sweet candy. I can deff smell the sweet stone fruit, but more complex.

After 30 min the orchid and iris come out a bit more. They add some tanginess to the sweet fruity top notes

At an hour, still fruity but becoming more floral. V nice

Overall: a staple in my collection, something I will keep wearing time and time again. 10/10 juicy sweet, a good perfume for those who want to smell like literal fruity candy.

 Tom Ford Rose Prick Eau de Parfum

 Rose thorn
Immediately very sweet, powdery patchouli.

The rose is strong, complemented by the spices well. Without the vanilla to soften the spice it's much sharper than other rose spices I've smelled.

 the packaging on this is 10/10 so cute and this sounds very delicious

4. Playboy Play it Wild

 Now I’m curious what the playboy scents smell like 

but #1 and the #2 sound like they could be really bomb. Though I’m curious about the quality of the playboy ones they seem more like body mists rather than perfumes to me but that’s just guessing based on a picture

 Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Intensement Eau de Parfum Intense

Opens very chypre, pleasant. I really smell the peony, white blossom, bergamot, and pear. Absolutely fantastic!! I am definitely a fan at this point. This smells like the notes in a lot of springy- toilettes I own. But it's much stronger which I appreciate.
Very fresh. The strong bergamot fades quickly after the initial spritzing

At 5 min, drying down to sweet white blossom. The scent reminds me of a fresh bouquet, or something a Bride would wear for a spring or summer wedding. This perfume makes me think warm sunny day outdoors, beautiful and romantic.

Been 40 min. Pear and bergamot top notes have deff faded, rose middle notes are more detectable

After 2 hours dries down to a very musky vanilla with some white blossom

3 hours: barely there, but still more than a toilette after thus long. Mostly light vanilla and musk with white flower notes soft, but not super sweet.

Overall: I give this a 9/10. It's absolutely magnificent. I NEED to get a bottle of this. Elegant, classy. This would be a good work-to-date and special occasion perfume. It's not inappropriately sexy, so it could even be worn for church but it smells so good it would even work for a classy wedding. The only thing I would change about this would be to add a touch of sweet juicy fruit top notes to complement the sour bergamot and pear ooening, but without disrupting the dry down

 *gets this because it reminds me of paris*

Lolita Lempicka Lolita Lempicka Eau de Parfum 

 Lolita lempicka EDP

Very fruity, licorice isnt overwhelming luckily
Smells like Welche's Berry Gummies. Smells like powdery blackberry. I deff smell the violet and iris, as well as the anise and cherry.
I know this is supposed to have Amaryllis, which I love, but I can't detect it at all

After 10 min the licorice is a bit more detectable. Not my fav, this is like a thick syrupy fruity sweet. Good for winter, but kind of reminds me of fruity cough syrup.

This isn't lasting very long. It's been 21 minutes now. And it has already faded a lot. Granted, I did walk into a room that smells like soup and cinnamon during this amount of time, but even with my nose against my arm I don't smell the Lolita Lempicka nearly as much.

Been about an hour and 40 min. I didnt Smell the perfume much during this time but my wrist got wet when I washed my hands and that livened it up some for a tad.

Overall: I don't love this. The smell reminds me of Tylonal Cold and Flu medicine, and is somehow simultaneously thick and syrupy while barely there. I give this a 3/10. I may try this one more time just to give it a second opinion, but at this time I would never want to wear this as my fragrance of the day.

*Note: I layered Peach scented walmart brand body mist over this just because I wanted to smell like something fruity and good for the rest of the night and IMO it works well together. The juicy peach negates the thick syrupy notes and makes the berry smell more sweet-fruity rather than cough syrup-y. Maybe I should explore more with layering scents I don't like. Maybe I'll combine this with sea salt and wood sage next

Lolita Lempika was originally marketed as a love perfume with pheromones to attract the opposite sex. (sadly, I know this cos my mom bought me a bottle years ago :(  ) She wanted me to marry my ex after we split. I never liked the smell, or my ex...

 Celine Dion Pure Brilliance Eau de Toilette

Opening very juicy, very green. I can detect some of the honeysuckle middle notes as well

5 min: smells tarte and green.

30 min I can smell the white flowers, dry like a white wine. Can deff smell the lilly, and some peach, but not sweet peach. The scent isn't changing too much over time yet, just fading. This is only Toilette stregth after all.

Very interesting. I took a shower then when I got out decided to yolo and put on like 6 sprays of perfume, when I normally do 2. The top notes are barely detectable. Instead of bitter tart and greens it smells super floral. White flower notes. This is a 10 year old perfume so it's possible the juice in the atomizer tube oxidized, but the rest not having contact to air is fresh

Second Day wearing:
Smells like the second time I wore it yesterday, more than the first.
Smells like lily of the valley a lot. Like clean shampoo. Soft and floral, and kinda like a diamond?

Smells very aquatic. Smells so very fresh, like nature after a rain shower. Light white florals. The smell reminds me of white wine. Technically fruity, but not sweet or juicy smelling. Smells like a light Riesling. I can smell the green apple.

Been about half an hour, scent hasn't changed too much. This reminds me of like "clean rain" type shampoos crossed with light Riesling wine.

Been about 45 min now. Becoming a more water-like. Slightly like a running waterfall, but with the notes I described before

1hour 15 min: it's fading. As it does it shifts slowly more to the "water" scent than the white wine scent.

Overall: a nice perfume. I bought this bc I thought it was one my mom used to own that she would let me wear on special occasions when I was in high school, but this smells really different so that must have been a different Celine Dion Perfume. I like this one, it smells very classy. I would wear this for a dinner date or evening out. I don't love it, but it is okay. 5/10 I think the odd experience yesterday must have been from some oxidized juice in the atomizer straw. Today's sample was fresh.

My curent collection:

Posted Image

Tabac Original Cologne, Tabac Original Aftershave,

I like Tabac, smells good. I wore it exclusively for about a year, I'd use a few drops of the cologne in the morning and freshen up with the aftershave midday. I got bored of it eventually but sometimes I'll wear it if I'm feeling nostalgic. Pretty low profile, masculine scent.

 

Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve

Fuck this one man. Possibly the most potent, overhelmingly manly cologne on the market. This was a blind buy and my first cologne, I wore it when I was first getting into perfumes. In hindsight, it didn't suit me, I was a fresh faced young lad wearing the cologne of a 40 year old rugged lumberjack. Haven't worn it in years though I feel I could get away with it nowadays.

 

Tabac Gentlemens Care

This ones alright. I wore this pretty regularly after I got bored of Tabac Original. I wanted something younger, and fresher. I got a fair few compliments from this one but I just don't dig the scent that much. Wore it for a few months before I decided to move onto Spicebomb.

 

Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf

My current wear. A great autumn/winter fragrance. Smells like christmas spices, leather, tobacco. 2 sprays last all day. I don't think it's the most potent scent, decent amount of compliments in general but it drives girls wild when the clothes come off. So I guess you have to be close to appreciate it.

 

 

 

Looking at the moment for a spring/summer fragrance. Leaning towards La Nuit De L'Homme, but it seems pretty common,

 Gucci Bloom Nettare di Fiori

First spray: Mmmm sweet floral top notes, is that gardenia I smell?

After about a minute I can smell now that it is rose with some subtle ginger. This is a very warm floral, good for a warm spring day or hot early summer morning. The Tuberrose and honeysuckle are sweet and delicious.

At 5 min mostly tuberrose snd honeysuckle with a touch of ginger. Mmm this is a good one. I got this in one of those paper testers where you peel back a layer snd smell the inside and I liked it so I made sure to chose this as my scent of the month for scent box

This is definitely most appropriate as a day perfume, and could even be a daily signature fragrance type.

I'm suuuuper stoked this doesn't have any orange blossom in it!!
Very delicious. This is one I like a lot, but not one I'd likely consider for my own personal signature fragrance. Although I love the tuberrose and honeysuckle it is a bit too sweet for every day, I would likely wear this often in the spring though. I'm going to recommend this to anyone I know who likes sweet florals.
Nectar of Flowers is what the name translates too, it's fitting. This perfume really is flowers flowers flowers, no moss or citrus or aqua, it's pure flowers. I would love to layer this with sea salt and wood sage tbh

Been about 30 minutes, not much change. Not much depth either, at least at this stage. Still predominantly tuberrose and honeysuckle. I am wonder how it will change when it gets down to base notes. Some reviews claimed this faded as quickly as 30-60 minutes but it is still pungent here after only 1.5 sprays (half spray was the first spray of the bottle and not much came out)

So far I am NOT ALLERGIC TO THIS!! Which is great and also shifts my suspicion that it may be Jasmine and not Rose that I am allergic to.

Been about 45 min now, some of the sweetness is fading. Still very sweet but it is toning down a bit.

Been an hour now, smell is slightly changing. Still very floral but to something I don't recognize, perhaps the Rangoon Creeper or Osmantheus

1 Hour 45 minutes, the smell is fading a lot now. Not too much change in the scent just faded

Total reveiw: 7/10. It smells really good and I will definitely be wearing this again but I think I am going to save the rest of the bottle until spring. This is the season for deep warm spicy scents. This is a deep floral. I would consider this appropriate for a day-time romantic endeavor.

 Gucci bloom Nettare di Fiori EDP Second testing.

Opening of sweet samba jasmine floral. (Vaguely reminds me of banana)

6 min: actually just checked notes and it says tuberrose and jasmine, not samba jasmine, but they smell very similar. Smells like a tiny touch of camphor as well which I like, I suspect that's the Osmantheus notes.

14 min: very sweet. Smells very sweet-floral. The Tuberrose and honeysuckle have strong influence at this point. The supposed ginger top note is not very noticeable.

22 min, very pleasant. Very sweet and romantic

Been 6hours. I've reapplied once. It has faded over the hours, but still smells like sweet flowers. 7/10 me likely

 Mugler Alien Eau de Parfum


Vaguely smells like artificial banana at first. Not a huge fan of the opening ngl

The overly sweet jasmin top is fading slightly, and I'm sensing some of the woody notes now.

Overall smelled super Sambac jasmine with little else for depth. Too sweet imo. I don't really smell the Amber or the Sandalwood. Kinda reminded me of artificial banana candy like I said. For now 5/10 but I will retry this one.

 Overly sweet scents like this make me realize why Jo Malone has an entire line of Colognes of single or 2 notes to be layered over other perfumes. This could use some of the citrus scents of wood sage and sea salt.Posted Image
