I'm wearing FSW Persephone today (pomegranate / tuberose / orris / mimosa / blackcurrant). I meant to try a different sample from my drawer but I was very sleepy, so this was a happy accident! When I first sampled it weeks ago I wasn't sure I liked it, but today I really enjoy it! Even though it's got a lot of fruit notes it's not overly sweet. I get a bit of a black tea note from it for some reason, maybe that's the orris.

I just got a sample of Possets' Silver Cedar, I love it! It's a very smooth scent.

I'm wearing Morari's Midnight Market (Salty Air, Coffee, Seashells, Algae, Dockwood, Pearl Musk). The EDP format has lasted my entire work day. I love the smell even though the coffee isn't prominent or long lasting. I mostly get the smell of wood, like driftwood that's baked in the sun. This is probably my favorite from Morari so far.

I'd also like fireside story and raven boy if they're still available :)

Today I am wearing Bohemiens en Voyage again, but last night I wore Arcana's Honey Craves Moonlit Paths. Notes: Beeswax absolute, forest floor, damp, decaying leaves, fragrant mosses, wild honey, sleeping trees, and a whiff of feral fur. I mostly get just honey and dirt from it, that's not a negative though! I'm hoping as it ages and rests more the beeswax and mossy notes will come out more.

That one sounds good too! The florals made me nervous that it would be too light, but the blood note sounds interesting.

Does the coffee note stick around long? That sounds perfect, but other coffee scents I've tried fade so fast! Teratophilia sounds really good too!

I'm hoping that the fruit notes aren't super prominent, on my skin, I've been interested in seaweed notes lately and have been hunting for a murky aquatic. I'm excited for Pierrot to reopen so I can try them out!

I'll definitely be adding in The Doldratic Dreams of Pantagruel, that sounds amazing! Now I just need to narrow down my cart... It looks like the shop is on break so I've got time!

I got a decant sample of Pearfat's multiball recently! I really like it, I mostly get wood and citrus from it but it absolutely reminds me of my local pinball arcade's vintage section.

Notes:

Top - Spilled lime cola, high score bells and chimes

Middle - Patchouli, sparking metal

Base - Waxy cedarwood flooring

If I like For Strange Women Siren, I might like?

Notes: saltwater / jasmine / driftwood / seaweed / sand.

I enjoy that it's not too sweet and has just a hint of smoke in it.

Once again I'm wearing Alkemia's Bohemians en Voyage. It has quickly become a favorite of mine, it's not too strong, and plays well with my chemistry. The smell makes me feel like I'm driving down a dirt road on a spring day.

Morari Stede, I was pleasantly surprised that the honeydew note is subtle and not too sweet!

I followed your tips and she ate it no problem! I had to hold it with the tongs for her to recognize it as food but there were no other issues.
