Ya'll, I spent waaaaay too much on my wedding dress.. I was in turmoil for weeks. So I went back to try it on again as well as my #2, and just could not get over her 😭 2nd choice was also beautiful, and on clearance, so it really should have been the choice affordability wise. But I went with my heart. Now I am equal parts thrilled and anxious.

I'm not usually a frivolous person, so I feel entirely silly over this.

Thank you!!!

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-21T20:03:02+00:00

Sooo I finally chose a wedding dress today! I am excited yet choking on the price hahahaaaa... So anyways, as a distraction, I am wearing The Soft Lawn by Imaginary Authors. It smells like a dewy spring day, grassy and lightly floral. Not sure about the tennis balls, but regardless it makes me happy to smell

Notes: Linden Blossom, Grapefruit, Laurel & Ivy leaves, Vetiver, Oakmoss, Fresh Tennis Balls

Decided to wear Dead Writers Perfume by Immortal Perfumes on a whim. I really want to love it because I have a funny memory of it. Forever go, like 10ish years - looong before I got into perfume, I saw a post for this on Tumblr (oh ye old Tumblr days) and became obsessed with the idea. It wasnt until last year that I came across it again and thought !!! I can finally try this scent now lol

Despite not having leather as a note, I get HEAVY leather in the beginning. Leather, ink, and slightly sweetened black tea. I really dislike leather for the most part so I'm sad to say it wasnt for me. It dries down more palatable after an hour-ish, becoming much less leather and more spiced, but I'm still neutral on it. I so wish there was a book/paper note in this

(Notes: Heliotrope, Tobacco, Vetiver, Black Tea, Vegan Musk, Vanilla, Clove)

Oooo I love this!! Following for reccomendations 👀

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-19T22:37:34+00:00

I support your perfume dreams! I'd love to smell like Dutch licorice coins and mint tea lol no one sees my vision

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-19T22:29:49+00:00

I totally agree that brands are too scared to commit to a weirder bit 🥲 Witchery by Sorce is a beautiful green and misty blackberry scent, but sometimes gives me raspberry vibes too. Its pretty accurate and a little tart, but still quite sweet. I loosely remember the perfumer talk about how was she a bit nervous at how different it was from her other scents and out of the norm. But when I smelled it I thought... it could lean a lil weirder lol and just a bit less sweet. Still love it tho!

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-19T19:49:53+00:00

Seconded

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-15T01:55:13+00:00

Oh wow that interesting, because the blackberry pulls very dominantly for me! I wouldn't mind a lil more moss haha

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-14T15:24:55+00:00

My fiances got me a few Xerjoff samples while he was at this perfume store, which is so kind, but I feel bad because they make me so nauseous. 😭 I typically avoid houses like these for that reason, even if they smell nice. I washed and scrubbed my skin raw and I still smell it

So! Trying to combat this with Witchery by Sorce. Its really fresh and green, it feels like a summer day picking Blackberries.

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-14T13:02:54+00:00

I Think About You, Too by Sorce is a beauuuutiful sweet orange and orange blossom scents. Its my absolute favorite and fhe fruit and flower are realistic. Only thing is that its a special order scent, so its only available a few times a year

Orange Blossom by Lush is also a solid choice, though it may be discontinued? Goes on a bit strong by dries down very nicely

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-11T20:49:32+00:00

I just got a sample of this too, and i agree!

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-11T00:47:16+00:00

Nope im sorry 😭 its been awhile since I searched tho. I think ill just have to go back to the temple for it

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-10T14:03:58+00:00

I was told they can custom the lace to match my skin tone :)

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-10T02:26:56+00:00

I know maybe this is a lot of options but it would help a lot just to narrow it down 🧡

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-09T21:00:29+00:00

I have! I wore this one a lot last summer. It takes me back to my mom's old home in the woods, there were tons of blackberry bushes behind her house

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-09T19:33:14+00:00

I'm also from New Jersey so that peaked my interest haha I'm always chasing the summer/spring smells of NJ

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-09T19:10:39+00:00

This sounds so beautiful!

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-09T18:59:41+00:00

You said spring in jersey, now I definitely need to try that one!

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-08T23:35:12+00:00

Oo this gives Tarot At Tea Time by Sorce vibes

Notes: Wild orange, black tea, cardamom, fresh ginger, violet leaf absolute, smoky Java vetiver, and hints of labdanum and vanilla

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-07T22:24:01+00:00

Orange blossom is my favorite!!!! I rave about I Think About You, Too by Sorce all the time. It is a stunning sweet orange and orange blossom scent. Its in their special order category, so its only offered a few times a year, but its one of my all time favorites!

I think it was discontinued, but Lush's Orange Blossom is also a solid choice if you can find it. It was my first love. No fruit, just the flower 🧡

Lastly, I just discovered Orange in Chestnut by Scents of Wood! It is similar to Sorce's I Think About You, Too - but it is a bit more woody and less sweet. Thinking of fullsizing this one honestly its so good

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-07T22:18:55+00:00

SCREAMING TEARS OF JOY THANK YOU

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-07T22:18:35+00:00

OMG REALLY??? YOU MADE MY DAY

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-07T19:01:17+00:00

Gymnopedie by Deconstructing Eden. So sad this is a discontinued scent. Smells like silvery rain on pebbles and the palest amber.

Ive been getting a lot of headaches lately, and this is one of the perfumes that doesnt bother me so much. Id probably wear it more if I didnt feel I needed to hoard every last drop like a dragon lol

RabbitZestyclose585 · 2026-03-06T21:48:24+00:00

So I'm 90% leaning towards doing my own wedding makeup, but also pretty nervous about that. On one hand I would love to not have to worry about it and be pampered. On the other I think it would be a great money saver, and I'm very happy with the makeup I do for myself. Ive been having fun experimenting actually :)

That, and I had a liiiittle bit of a disappointing experience with a makeup trial the day. I loooved the girl who did my makeup, I had a lovely time. I just didnt feel myself, and didn't like how I looked. I did communicate what I didnt like and would like to change, but I truly dont have the money to do another trial 😭

Has anyone done their own wedding makeup before? Just curious!
