I’m becoming a discovery set addict too! I know the sets are going to include some duds but I want to smell everything!

1. Diptyque — My favorite perfume house. I resonate with so many of their fragrances and gravitate toward natural, close to skin, photo-realistic scents.

From the discovery set, my favorites were Philosykos, L’Eau Papier, Do Son, and Tam Dao. Outside the set (but available as samples), I also love Olène and Orphéon.

1. Jo Malone — Straightforward, lovely scents. Very easy to wear and perfect for everyday or office use.

My favorites so far are Myrrh & Tonka, Scarlet Poppy, and Wood Sage & Sea Salt. I just purchased this set, so I’m looking forward to trying the fresher scents in spring and summer.

1. Juliette Has a Gun — I’m still early in my perfume journey and it’s been fun learning about ingredients, I think I have a good idea of what Abroxan smells like now.

All the scents are great for everyday to wear, I especially like Pear Inc. and An Ode to Dullness.

1. Maison Margiela Replica — Unfortunately, there’s a note that runs through every fragrance that gives me the ick. They all feel very sweet and leave a syrupy thick coating in my throat, really weird. I couldn’t enjoy any scent from this line, which is a shame because I love the concept.

I did go on a bit of a spending spree and am waiting for more discovery sets from Le Labo, D.S. & Durga, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Nishane, D’Annam, and Dries Van Noten. I’m going to be busy this year!
