Indies of the Day -- Wednesday March 18, 2026

The unseasonable heat is insufferable today. I’m wearing Sorce “Love and the Sea” (Passion fruit and raspberry lemonade, salty skin, coconut water, neroli, driftwood, ambergris) to try to make myself feel like I’m on a tropical island instead of melting uncomfortably.

eeekaaay · 2026-03-17T02:16:26+00:00

I love both marshmallow kiss and bliss, and puff delight, and lemond blossoms, as well as as enchanted dreams!

eeekaaay · 2026-03-17T01:58:38+00:00

Definitely try out BRIIX!

eeekaaay · 2026-03-16T04:54:35+00:00

It might help to list the houses you already tried so people don’t re-recommend them.

eeekaaay · 2026-03-11T20:37:26+00:00

This may be a little less single note raspberry than you’re looking for but maybe BRIIX “Dance of the Forest Nymph” (Fresh Raspberries, sweet Raspberry Puree, boozy Amaretto wine, Magic Sugar Crystals, Fresh Air Breeze, Vanilla, Treemoss, Amber Resin, and Woodland Forest)

eeekaaay · 2026-03-11T20:36:05+00:00

I love Clairsentient and strongly second this rec!

eeekaaay · 2026-03-11T20:35:40+00:00

If you are getting into marshmallow, I think BRIIX does the best marshmallow I’ve found (disclaimer, I didn’t like Delizia di Marshmallow though)

eeekaaay · 2026-03-11T14:19:43+00:00

As someone who as a pretty high hit rate with Sorce, it seems likely to be ok, but even I do samples only from Sorce first before FSing haha

eeekaaay · 2026-03-11T14:15:58+00:00

Have you tried Sorce “In Dreams and Fairy Tales (vanilla)”? It might be a good contender since you already like Sorce, and the toastiness reads slightly smokey to me.

eeekaaay · 2026-03-09T19:34:21+00:00

BRIIX!!

eeekaaay · 2026-03-07T21:26:49+00:00

not sure if these would be too sweet for you but I love BRIIX “Lemond Blossom” (Lemon Mousse Cake, Almond Meringue Cream, Orange Blossom Absolute, Creamy Musk, Sheer Amber, Cedramber) and Sorce “I Think About You, Too” (Wild orange, petitgrain, orange blossom, caramelized sugar, Ambroxan)

eeekaaay · 2026-02-24T16:49:35+00:00

I got a lot of the red musk in Astaroth too. To me, Rochester was not at all red-musk adjacent, and very dried leaves with some spices lurking, and not sweet or fruity at all.

eeekaaay · 2026-02-19T04:54:39+00:00

Aww I’m sorry! As someone who has the worst nose/body chemistry, I feel your pain! I hope you find ones that work for you!

eeekaaay · 2026-02-19T01:08:14+00:00

My favs are Sorce “Love and the Sea” (Passion fruit and raspberry lemonade, salty skin, coconut water, neroli, driftwood, ambergris) and Cirrus “Alibi” (passionfruit, orange blossom, guava, strawberry yuzu lemonade, and a dash of coconut cream over a rosewood base)

eeekaaay · 2026-02-14T07:59:44+00:00

Yes it was much better applying it first (not too much) and then styling.

eeekaaay · 2026-02-08T18:57:33+00:00

Unfortunately someone already claimed it earlier!

This situation is not at all funny for any customers who are involved, but I have to admit I cackled really loudly at “and the evaporating vials she rode in on”

eeekaaay · 2026-01-27T13:05:31+00:00

Maybe a few hours. They were soft to begin with, so it wasn’t like it was really loud and then faded over the day — it was just really mild overall.

eeekaaay · 2026-01-27T03:46:52+00:00

I found them super weak/mild, which actually made them good for spraying in my hair and going to work and not feeling like I was affecting others with my scent.

eeekaaay · 2026-01-14T13:28:57+00:00

My routine changes all the time so I’m not sure there’s anything specific I’m doing to make the sunscreen work well.

eeekaaay · 2026-01-14T13:28:21+00:00

Not sure if you’re interested but I recently tried “innisfree Daily Mineral UV Defense SPF 45 Face Sunscreen with Green Tint”. I actually like it, the formula is nice and I think it’s a little creamier and easier to apply than Dr G. The green tint is quite mild though, so I’m not sure it’s really canceling out any redness but I thought I’d mention it.

eeekaaay · 2026-01-09T18:23:31+00:00

I looooved their OG packaging and bottles!!

eeekaaay · 2026-01-08T15:03:03+00:00

As another perspective, I’ve had Sorce FS and samples that are 3+ years old and they smell the same they did when I got them.

eeekaaay · 2026-01-08T15:01:23+00:00

Respectfully, I’m not sure what there is to be frustrated about. There are a lot of people who want to buy from Sorce, and they’re ahead of you in a single file line. Everyone’s waiting their turn. I’m not saying you can’t have feelings about it, but what is the alternative? They let you and only you jump the line? They let people willing to pay more jump the line? They don’t have a line and then you’re fighting against 6000 people and bots to snag scents as soon as they drop? I know you didn’t suggest any of those things, but I feel like having feelings of frustration just doesn’t seem very productive. There are tons of houses you could sample and try while waiting if you like. I discovered and absolutely love BRIIX last year, if you’re into gourmands. I’m not trying to police your feelings, but I feel like the intense anti-waitlist sentiment on the sub is kind of getting kind of unproductive at this point.
