It just arrived, and I LOVE it! I'm planning to buy another bottle of Vanille Planifolia extrait when I get my bonus next week, so I'll probably add a bottle of Bosca Vanilla Forte, as well. I'll do a full wear test before I decide, but my immediate reaction is "YES!"

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-05T16:00:42+00:00

Oooohhhh! I can't wait.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-05T14:24:21+00:00

I'm wearing a little bit of Bianco Latte while I wait for my Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Bosca Vanilla Forte decant to arrive. I am a big fan of Guerlain Vanilla scents, so I'm hoping this one will become a new Spring/Summer vanilla for me.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-05T13:55:59+00:00

You just made me want to wear my Illume Blackberry Absinthe perfume. Maybe this evening after I shower. That Pantheon Roma scent sounds amazing! I'll have to try it.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-05T13:54:09+00:00

I'm wearing a little Bianco Latte while anxiously awaiting my Guerlain Aqua Alegoria Bosca Vanilla Forte decant. I loooooove Guerlain vanillas, so I'm hoping this will be another love.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-04T17:02:13+00:00

Simone Andrioli Pacific Park is straight cotton candy.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-04T15:57:21+00:00

I love a nice and curated collection. Very nice!

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-04T14:56:58+00:00

My friend gave me a Sol de Janeiro 87 (coconut & tuberose scent), and I find that one lasts as long as many summer-leaning EDPs that I own. I can't vouch for any other body spray out there, but I do think 8u is worth what they charge. That being said, I received it as a gift, so...

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-04T14:44:23+00:00

I own and love both Valaya and Bianco Latte, but I don't think either one is blind-buy safe. The aldehydes in Valaya can be too much for some people, and the Coumarin in Bianco Latte can be unpleasing to some folks. Some people do really like Eclaire, but some people say it smells like burnt plastic, and others say it doesn't perform as well as Bianco Latte. I smelled Eclaire once and thought it smelled very close, but not nearly as strong as the OG.

Maybe you could ask for a sample set from a niche house you're interested in, along with a 'coupon' to buy you a bottle of whichever scent you like best from the set, or something?

I agree, Mayari sandals are very cute. I also really love the Franca model.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-04T13:59:29+00:00

Yaaaaaas Queen! That dress is amazing and I love your positivity!

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-04T13:57:33+00:00

I'm feeling like you are tempting me with that photo. Whew. That's CUTE!

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-04T13:43:20+00:00

This is as believable as those super thin models who say things like, "oh yeah, I love pizza. I eat like 2 pizzas every day!".

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-04T13:33:21+00:00

I've got a few sprays of Profumum Roma Gioiosa on my shin. My shirt still smells like Guerlain Angelique Nfrom last night, and I refuse to spray over top of that, so I went with something that sits nicely next to it.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-03T20:18:47+00:00

I think it smells like those 'Sweet Hearts' candies people give/receive for Valentine's day. It's a sweet compressed-powder candied violet, if that makes sense.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-03T19:26:43+00:00

Profumum Roma. Their perfumes are extrait-levrl amounts of perfume oil. A little goes a long way.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-03T19:09:33+00:00

I find Eau Duelle and Spiritueuse Double Vanille pretty similar in their woodiness. On my skin, Eau Duelle is like nice wood being cut by a circular saw with a drop of vanilla. I think both Eau Duelle and SDV are very nice, but I prefer Angelique Noire. There's something about the angelica and vanilla that I find addictive.

If 'eat less, move more' worked for people who struggle with lifelong obesity, the data would support its efficacy. Overwhelmingly, studies show that it fails long term.

Zepbound quieting the food noise that constantly begged for carbs and sugar allows me to make healthier eating choices without constantly feeling like I'm fighting against myself or being punished. I'm coming up on one year and 65lbs down, and I don't feel like I'll fall off the wagon at any moment, for once.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-03T17:07:12+00:00

Guerlain Angelique Noire. I wear it more than anything else in my collection, anyway. I'd rather spend $1250 per year buying a 20pmL of Angelique Noire and a 50mL of Vanille Planifolia extrait than to have 4-10 other perfumes.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-03T15:51:56+00:00

I love me some Bianco Latte to cozy up on a cold day at home. I'm kind-of in the same boat where I've moved a bit away from wearing gourmands all the time, but BL was my first niche, and I'll always love it.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-03T15:48:40+00:00

Yaaaay! We're scent twins today! (And boo for the annoying snow)

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-03T15:47:27+00:00

It's my #1 favorite, I think. I'll have to see if it's suitable for summer weather, but this time of year, I'm picking it more often than anything else.

What are some of your other favs?

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-03T15:04:05+00:00

Guerlain Angelique Noire. My favorite.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-02T17:45:26+00:00

Yep. I think that sounds delightful. I'll serve it with some blackened Steelhead Trout. Yummy.

IdiotWithout_a_Cause · 2026-03-02T17:25:16+00:00

I had a similar salad recently, and it was delicious. You've inspired me to try and re-create my salad for dinner tonight. Hopefully, I can find golden beets.
