The juice was down to the dregs in the bottle but enough to get a spray on paper and then skin. It's very nice. Looking to try a sample but none of my go-tos have it in stock

#perfumesky and #fragrancesky friends! I treated myself to a *free* sniffathon and I have feelings: 🙂‍↔️Givenchy Irresistible nudes, 🤢All Orabellas, 🙂‍↔️Libre Flowers and Flames, 😁then🥱Daisy wild eau so ultra, ☀️🥱 Ellis Brooklyn Salt and Vanilla Salt, 🤤Snif Naughty Nonna, 🤤Armani Power of You(!)

#sotd &Other Stories The Lost Chapter and Isabelle Larignon Mandi Rhubi. The latter has longevity issues and the former lasts a good work day👯Carrot and citruses open as Brigardia then veer away to stemmy greens and pissy blackcurrant. Not quite a match made in heaven but 🤷🏻 no pickles #fragrancesky

I got my first one last year! This year we will work to establish some norms with comparisons. Our clinic is great and everyone is so nice. Happy to go back.

And this one is done so thoughtfully. Such an enjoyable wear. I would love to find a decant and/or a smaller bottle. Truly unlike anything in my collection

You can hear the reverence in their voices while also speaking classic Gen X.

Kerosene Black Vines per Parfumo.com: Star anise, cinnamon, balsam fir, frankincense, Tonka bean, vanilla, fig, ivy, and peru balsam

#sotd Kerosene Black Vines. 🤯 Black licorice stirred into forest air and strained to a watery forcefield of joy. Devoid of spicy biting bitterness; just a lingering nibble and catch in the back of the throat. Defies physics, but scent often does. My kind of gourmand.

Your descriptions are so evocative - I can feel the effects the scents are having on you and I'm so happy you found some surprises!

On my to-sample list now! The carrot and violet along with the sandalwood sound so intriguing

Absolute legend! What a great idea! This brand just came on my radar and now I'm very curious 🧐

Cipher Frankincense, Jasmine, Lime, Oud, Raspberry

From StoneandWit.com: About: Way back in 1998 or 1999, not long after I started working in a bookstore, an unusual cover caught my eye. A woman's face surrounded by leaves, scratched out white space, a grungy typewriter font. This was 100% my aesthetic! I read the first story or two on my lunch break that day, bought the book and devoured it (or maybe it infected me). Extremities by Kathe Koja. In turns horrific, weird, and unnerving, sparsely dotted with cold constellations of optimism. This fragrance is named after her first book but based on her body of works. A deep oud accord and sweet raspberry suffuse their way up through the middle notes of clean, transparent jasmine and top notes of fresh lime peel accord. There's something comforting, something addictive and something otherworldly in this. "Maddeningly beautiful, and faint as an insect choir, like standing in the dark and glimpsing - the barest peripheral, an image beyond your eyelids -- the passing of your one desire, close enough to nuzzle if you could only fix its motion, see it all the way." - Kathe Koja, The Cipher

#sotd after a WEEK(😮‍💨 I'm exhausted on all levels), and a week of wears that I CAN'T remember 😤(other than Encre Noire 🤤), I NEEDED a ⚡💥 to my nose like the tang of 🍋‍🟩 against a jasmine without 🧼🫧 and the oud, raspberry, & incense reading as warm skin suede. 🙏🏻 @stoneandwit.bsky.social

As a Tuberose lover, this sounds beautiful! I read somewhere it goes bubblegum so this review is encouraging!

I grew up with a small 13in beagle named Mabel and what she packed in height, she made up for in length 😂. Far from collecting empirical research for a suitable sample set to test, I know believe all Mabel dogs have that super power 🐶 🦸🏻

Amazing to see the mechanics of a recovery operation. Literally just floating in the sea right where they needed to be 🚀 🌊

Yes! Or a part of you you've forgotten to time or even a different life

💭🙏🏻 but, no you are not! Your eyes may need some help, but name a person who has all parts functional at the same time? At any given second I have a toe that feels twice my age and an ear lobe that feels a few years younger. We are all just beautiful puzzle pieces constantly in play 😆

"and it feels like the truest version of one side of me."

I feel like that sums up my own perfume journey very nicely indeed.

Nice score on the price! 😁 Love it when that happens.

I've sampled Valaya, Meliora, and Safanad (really liked the opening) but ultimately stopped because of the price point. All very nice, but not nice enough💲

Craft by Andrea Maack, notes as read from Parfumo.com: Aldehydes and ice at the top Metal and cedarwood in the heart Elemi resin and patchouli in the base

#sotd Craft by Andrea Maack. Photorealistic glacier ice caked on the rocks of a mountain stream. It wavers between a memory of taste and smell; mineral and aquatic with an earthy sweetness. Within 2 hours it fades to a dry stone from the combination of grassy patchouli and dry elemi.

I'll just leave this here 😉

Oh, they only want to heal you, so sorry for the inflamed bronchi and inability to swallow 😺

Fun personal fact, I thought I was allergic to cats, but an allergy test showed I am not allergic but sensitive to not only cats but EVERYTHING! MCAS syndrome at its finest!

✨ More compelling than fiction in my opinion. And yes, a cat purrs at 35 Hz, the frequency osteoblasts are stimulated to lay bone down. We use Whole Body Vibration in our practice and that fact is my favorite PT mic drop moment 🎤

This sounds like a gorgeous take on the tea scent! So happy it was love at first sniff 😍

Nice picks for last week! I agree, it's a great time of year for cozy as well as fresh scents ☺️

Husband thought it looked like a painting! That's a gorgeous bottle!

Rewatching Bridgerton now so Louise is close enough to Eloise, but at any other time first thing I would think is Louise 🤣

Perfume oil bottle with the stark "Louise" written in tall font. A small stylized bird sketch files away to the left of the title. The black cap of the perfume bottle stands in contrast of the red forever rose directly behind the bottle.

Fragrance notes per Parfumo.com Amber, ink, kohl, night blooming flowers, suede, tonkin musk, vermouth

Black and white picture of Louise Brooks, B Nov. 14th, 1906- D Aug. 8, 1985. Kohl lines her eyes, her lips are held tight in consternation as she looks aside of the focal point of the camera. Her hair is a brutal bob and coifed to shape her face. Her eyebrows are comically straight, allowing her eyes and smooth line of her cheek to convey her emotions. The dress is a shiny impression of a dress

For #sotd Oil Friday 😁 I chose Mercari blind buy Sixteen92 Louise 📽️ 🤍 Very timid opening, soft like a pale cheek, the kohl and ink pull strong then recede as the impressions of florals and musk come into soft focus. The vermouth and suede give a glossy sweet texture like a reel of film.
