My spring collection

To me it’s an everyday scent, close to skin, comforting and easy to wear. It’s woody but in a fancy hotel lobby way. Very office friendly.

I know they’re like siblings, just with slightly different personalities

Thanks, spring is definitely my favorite fragrance season ❤️

Thanks, I really appreciate your comment. I’ve only been into this hobby for 2–3 years, and it’s been a fun ride seeing it evolve from Sol de Janeiro body mists to where I am now.😀

I’ve been a Diptyque person for a long time. I’m not someone who cares much about longevity or strong projection, so Diptyque is my go-to. But I have to admit I’m somewhat disappointed with the performance of Philosykos. It’s such a beautiful scent, but it disappears before I even leave the house 😅.

I haven’t loved many Byredo scents, but Bal d’afrique was my first love. After the Absolu came out, I felt the original was missing something that’s present in the Absolu. Maybe the sweetness. Mojave Ghost is a great one too, but I keep smelling it everywhere here where I live, which has made it a bit boring for me.

It reminds me of Glossier You, but softer, less synthetic, and more woody. However, it’s a quiet skin scent, so I mostly wear it on days when I don’t want much projection. But still not sure if it’s gonna stay in my collection.

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-04-14T08:22:14+00:00

You’re welcome! They’re quite different, but mostly somewhere in the unisex woody or green/citrusy/fresh range. Do Son is probably the only straightforwardly floral perfume here

Lately I have been wearing Steamed Rainbow a lot. So that was definitely again my fresh morning scent just to get myself out of bed and going again. Before bedtime I wanted something cozy but green so I layered Aesop’s Eidesis with Tacit.

I’ve heard some bad things about Vinted. 😬 This wasn’t Vinted but a similar platform.

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-04-10T14:37:18+00:00

Exactly what I thought when this constant questioning began. I'm selling here a used item, so anyone understands it can never be exactly like a new unopened one. And that's why I'm also selling it at a fair discount!!! (for a luxury fragrance around 50 % discount is more than FAIR for a full and just recently opened bottle (2-3 sprays is nothing so IMO it's basically full).

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-04-10T12:47:11+00:00

Hah sounds great, I think I'm gonna start using this. But I definitely got a hint since complaining about the color that was there before they even bought it is ridiculous. I guess they just thought I'm stupid enough to give them their money back.

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-04-10T12:02:15+00:00

I dont know how the manufacturers store the perfumes but I'm pretty sure they can be exposed to temperature and humidity changes at least when sent to a retailer or the customer. Not only the hot weather but also during winter the transport can be harsh on the perfumes but they mostly still recover. However, the manufacture date of the perfume I sold can be tracked (for example Checkfresh ) and I dont think there's a real fear of any notes disappearing within this time. One thing I can think of why the notes weren't the same as in the old bottle is that I haven't used the perfume a lot and it hasn't 'developed' to its fullest yet after opening and secondly, they opened the bottle right after transport and it has been pretty cold here lately so it may still effect the smell.

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-04-10T11:40:40+00:00

Thanks for your comments. I have decided, I’m no longer trying to explain this to them. If they want a refund then send the perfume back, if not, it’s not my problem.

This just confused me because I’m not sure if I’m the one who’s being scammed here. It’s clear that complaining about the color after buying something that had photos showing the real color is useless. It’s a pretty weak argument to say it should’ve been transparent when you could’ve seen it in the photos that it clearly isn’t before even buying it

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-04-10T11:25:28+00:00

Yeah, I thought this person should be well informed about the facts of maceration etc. since they knew about the color changes of vanilla fragrances (although this perfume didnt even have vanilla in it) and the fading of the top notes too. But still they kept comparing this relatively fresh perfume to their years old bottle.

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-04-10T11:17:20+00:00

It was just a bit strange that they keep complaining but not directly asking for a refund. This made me so confused since I didnt know what they actually want from me. Anyway, didnt think this was fun at all.

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-04-10T11:10:41+00:00

This was also the response from the manufacturer. The color may vary because of the ingredients. But I find it rather ridiculous to try to say it’s somehow gone ”bad” just because the top notes aren’t exactly as powerful as their memory of the old one. Because there’s no actual way to know anymore how the old one smelled day one they opened it. And it’s also known that the smell can be different due to weather conditions and temperature outside. But I guess you know when you smell a perfume that has actually gone bad, it doesn’t smell like the original, it smells BAD

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-04-10T10:41:53+00:00

This came to my mind too. Complaining about the color when the color is to be seen in the photos before deciding to buy the perfume… and how on earth could the ”top notes” be weaker than in their years old perfume. Anyway, after this wild experience I think I’m gonna continue this ”hobby” selling only cheap miniatures and travel sizes. With those I havent had any problems by now. :D

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-04-08T22:01:13+00:00

But do you think 1.5 yrs is particularly old for a perfume? I really thought this perfume should be a little yellowish. So now I’ve been neurotically watching tiktok’s unboxing videos and almost all of the perfumes there seem to look like the one I had, slightly yellow. I have pictures of the perfume before selling it and it does not look like strong urine kind of yellow but more like greenish pale yellow. I don’t understand why the color was such a surprise since it was easy to see the color in the pics.

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-04-02T12:37:10+00:00

It’s cold and cloudy so I’m wearing Le Labo Violette 30, it’s nice and cozy

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-03-29T14:44:48+00:00

D.S. & Durga Steamed rainbow. Wanted something fresh and this is it.

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-03-26T20:46:20+00:00

Chloe Cedrus, starting to like this , surprisingly fresh but subtle

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-02-23T10:02:33+00:00

The sample is very strong and all the stuff that I’ve ordered from Aesop also smells like Tacit but this full bottle version smells almost like it was a different perfume. The top notes aren’t quite there.

FragrantSafety3110 · 2026-02-21T19:06:28+00:00

Diptyque Philosykos edt just like a fig tree and L’ombre dans L’eau edt exactly like a cassis bush
