Sir Winston by Bortnikoff: 30/11/24 01:22 Visiting the house of an old Eastern European relative. It's got burnt orange walls, the olfactory heirlooms framed by a thin layer of dust; vintage floral perfumes from fifty years ago, the glass misty and faded. Tobacco smoke accents the velvet sleepgowns she gifts to you, wafts of a life well-lived.
Warm Bulb by Clue
Manhattan Cherry by flaner: 08/20/24 23:50 The brief: Instagram cool girl, cherry cola, Cretan red and worn leather. This is a warm amber fragrance that's olfactory cherry immediately pops upon first blush, evening out to vanilla bourbon, ginger, tobacco. Boozy, sexy.
Lust by Lush
Turmeric Latte by Lush: 10/27/24 02:18 2017 in the middle of regional New South Wales, Australia. You're at a relative's neighbour's house. They're all drinking, everything is suffused by the orange damp glow of candles and lamps, you feel ‘grown up' even though you understand nothing. One of them, your relative's friend, smells so strongly of incense, she refers to you as an ‘old soul'. They simmer down and talk around the sparse table and you start finding them boring, you start wandering around the rooms. You sidle into the main bedroom, it's got a window of the front-lawn, there's a desk and shelves and shelves of vinyl records. Again, all the walls are coloured amber by the glow. The pull. You can hear the bush humming. You collapse onto the bed and shimmer, weightless with desire and lucidity. If you get too close to the glow, it burns your nose
On a Date by Maison Margiela: 08/06/24 03:20 Tart grapes in a dappled porcelain dish with wine with a lover on a hot summer evening. Wear in autumn and winter, it's too humid for the heat.

Matcha Meditation by Maison Margiela: 07/21/24 23:59 a saccharine iced matcha latte at first smell fades to generic florals and white chocolate, some musk.

Matcha Cat by d.grayi: 11/01/24 06:21 Animalic, for sure! The immediate freshness of the perfume almost makes you queasy and then settles down into a soapy bitter drydown I don't love but can't help myself from smelling over and over. The bottle design's very cute too. A domestic shorthair skulking around in freshly cut grass

The Language of Glaciers by Imaginary Authors
Midnight Dahlia by KORRES: 04/17/24 03:58 Sensual, light, airy. I don't smell the commonality every other reviewer comments on as belonging to the memory of generically old perfume; lush notes of lychee, peony and raspberry combine for a full swell I keep returning to. Love!
White Tea by KORRES: 02/21/24 18:02 Snorting Ritalin in the bathroom at a Super Smash Bros Melee tournament while listening to KATAMARI by femtanyl and drinking Monster Energy. When you close your eyes, you can still see the CRT glow

The Noir 29 by Le Labo
Coriandre 39 by Le Labo: 10/31/24 06:19 As someone who consciously stays away from citrusy fragrances, I received this in a surprise mix of samples without looking it up beforehand and actually really liked it. A soapy jubilee of lime and green notes. I'd even say this is 'giving' a fresh, bitter matcha
From the Garden by Maison Margiela: 06/22/24 04:39 Smells like dirt and tomato leaves with a touch of citrus sweetness, your knees wet from the freshly cut grass.

Cannabis by Kalin+Goetz
Lucia by TOCCA: 08/13/24 03:13 Creamy fig, sweet and musky. Unfortunately, because this is prod. TOCCA, it subsumes into being a generic floral that makes you seasick if you spray heavily
Simone by TOCCA: 02/21/24 18:06 Girly and sweet, although very very strong (~would not recommend overspraying Simone!). For sweet spring days, where the grass is still wet with dew; first notes of watermelon and apple fade down to a generic, "pretty" floral haze
Lost Cherry by Tom Ford: 10/16/24 02:39 Maria from Silent Hill 2 wears this.
The Sixth by Vyrao: 08/26/24 01:01 This is photorealistic petrichor. Cop if you come into a melancholic inheritance.

Grass by Demeter: 08/11/24 21:23 This is minty apple air freshener. I'd suggest Maison Martin Margiela's From the Garden for a more photorealistic grass scent.
Under the Rose by flaner: 08/26/24 01:13 This is strong patchouli and rose with distilled raspberry throughout, belonging to a mature and self-assured wearer. If this perfume was a colour, it'd be dark burgundy pink
Black Pepper by KORRES
Cashmere Kumquat by KORRES: 10/12/24 06:34 Screechy creamy kumquat. Gives you a headache.
Under the Lemon Tree by Maison Margiela: 10/12/24 06:42 Lemon detergent. The only Replica scent I've ever hated. Everyone glazing this has an abusive relationship with this fragrance.
Delina dupe by Palermo: 11/02/24 05:29 Reviewing the Palermo dupe, never tried the original scent. An immediately fresh floral hit of rose and rhubarb dries down to a dark musky drydown that feels warm on the wrist
Choeur Des Anges by Atelier des Ors: 11/02/24 11:33 Smells like sex and sweat in the worst way; inhaling this scent is akin to breathing in fumes from a bonfire EDIT: I'm coming around to this more, but it's still a really unpleasant mix of marmalade and burnt orange
Green with Envy by flaner: 08/20/24 23:49 I really didn't like this one...remisicient of urine and dehydration
Ambrette 9 by Le Labo: 11/21/24 06:58 spit and baby vomit
The Matcha 26 by Le Labo: 08/23/24 03:08 When titling this perfume, Le Labo accidentally substituted the word Citrus for Matcha, and then forgot to fix it
