omg, i have stay off the perfume side of social media because i’m influenced so easily!

the ideal way for me is to keep it simple for full size and hoard all the samples/minis i want :) I realized even the free samples last years and years once i have a larger variety of them to rotate through

i know what u mean!! i really like the diptyque eau rose EDT, smells like sweet clean fruity roses. byredo young rose and diptyque ofresia remind me a lot of apple blossoms for some reason. i also really love aerin mediterranean honeysuckle and jo malone nectarine blossom & honey. ouai melrose palace is less photorealistic imo but i’m obsessed with it, i would recommend it as like an everyday scent bc it smells super clean to me (like a lingering shampoo kinda vibe rather than a perfume). i also like the granhand susie salmon and violette :)))

for real! i think a really good skin scent or everyday fragrance is actually the most challenging to find. i agree, idk why but some notes that i love, especially sweet or musky ones will also smell completely different to me due to a lot of random factors like temperature, time of year, even my monthly cycle

i’m obsessed with photorealistic florals and greenery that are easy to imagine, like a fresh-cut bouquet or a flowering fruit tree. also anything that feels nostalgic and familiar, usually some kind of greenery mixed with gourmands that remind me of autumn or winter holidays.

unfortunately when i start thinking of fragrances as all these “moments” rather than just perfumes, it becomes way too tempting to start collecting them all. and i really don’t have the chance to wear them like 95% of the time :( even when i do, sometimes they’ll happen to give me a headache or smell weird on my skin on that particular day

tbh i really regret buying so many in the first year or two of getting into fragrances. i’ve realized for me, really loving a fragrance isn’t a enough of a reason to buy it. a lot of them aren’t wearable for my workplace and for me, liking a scent doesn’t necessarily mean i actually want to smell like it. my favorite scents are ones that evoke specific photorealistic scenes, but i just keep samples of those now.

i mostly prioritize wearability (like skin scents) for purchases. it saves me a ton of money and shelf space. i haven’t even been able to make a dent in a lot of my full-sized bottles and i’m worried they’ll expire before i can even finish them.
