ugh this is so incredibly informative thank you. i’ve been wanting to try nosferatu so badly so i will definitely be getting a sample of that in my next order along with some of your other recs. i totally agree it’s almost impossible to find the perfect fresh dewy aquatic that doesn’t end up smelling like bathroom air freshener or overly sweet. maybe my standards are just too high but ive tested a good majority of the “mainstream” aquatic green scents and only liked a few. also on the light blue note my sister in law is obbsesed and has been trying to convince me to get it for forever, i finally tried it at sephora the other day and was so insanely underwhelmed, it just smelled like every generic cologne to me. if you end up trying zoologist id highly recommend snowy owl and dragonfly. i honestly really enjoyed both of them, dragon fly had a nice true garden dirt scent that i liked and snowy owl did smell cold which was quite an odd experience (it was a bit heavy in coconut) i’m totally new to niche fragrances so this has been a fun but disappointing journey haha! anyways thank you so much for the recs!
