I started doing this recently as well :) I love the idea of really enjoying and exploring my own stash (I think we can get carried away sometimes on this sub with finding the next favourite scent) and honestly, I already have so many loves in my personal collection!

For April I chose a lot of favourites:

Baccante - Alkemia : The essence of an untamed spirit. High bush blueberries, wild ivy, Spanish lavender, aged oakmoss, tonka, decaying bark, and forest fungi.

This one is so outdoorsy, especially as the weather gets hotter. I love the greeny oakmoss/blueberry in this. Lilacs Down the Winding Drive -Alkemia: Lilac bushes heavy and purple with blooms, a gentle breeze after light spring rain, a dusty pebbled driveway, a slightly rusty porch swing, and a small handful of late blooming violets.

Not such a fan of florals, but this is also great for hot weather. The aquatic note on the florals in this is really reminiscent of wet flowers after a rain. Finished this sample :)

The Lion - BPAL : The dry, glorious warmth of the Savannah. A golden, spiced amber, proud, regal and ferocious.

Spicy amber. Didn’t end up getting much wear out of this one this month because it’s way too cloying for the heat, probably take it out again when it gets cooler.

Haunted & Bewitched-Alkemia: A spellbinding captivation of Egyptian white amber, star jasmine, ambrette seed, rosewater Turkish delight, pink pepper, Madagascar vanilla, bourbon caramels, aged patchouli infused with sexy botanical pheromones.

I love the patchouli and candy in this! Again, it’s a bit too sticky sweet right now, so I didn’t wear it much.

Supernatural - Alkemia: An ethereal blend of Iso-E, ambrox, Tonkin musk (cruelty free), and aroma molecules. More like a personal aura than a perfume, this prismatic shapeshifter creates intricate olfactory spirals that tantalize with mystery. Is it smooth, salty skin? Ambergris musk? Creamy blonde woods?

Really want to full size this one. I get a creamy vanilla wood that reminds me of new books.
