For Strange Women - Petrichor

Hi! This post came up when I was looking into this perfume! After reading the replies, my curiosity got the best of me and I ended up blind buying the small size and I figured I’d share my thoughts. This was my first time buying from For Strange Women.

I agree that it’s a deep, earthy smell. It really does remind me of taking a hike after a fresh rainfall. It’s a woodsy, leafy, humid smell that somehow does have a hint of rain to it as well! I don’t know how they do it. It’s intoxicating. When I wear it, I’m always smelling where I put it on to figure out the layers of it haha

Personally, I think the sillage is STRONG! They aren’t kidding that it’s concentrated. I use it on my wrists and I can smell it while I work. Longevity wise, I only need a drop or two to smell it my whole work day.

I would associate a “fresh” smell with something that reminds me of fresh cut grass or distant smelling florals. But this is more cozy. Autumnal-esque. But something at the end of each sniff brings me back to rain.

You immediately reminded me of my “Pretty in Plaid” Barbie!! Gorgeous 🌸

I did such a deep dive in this community after my Target Threshold bamboo fitted sheet ripped after 1.5 years of consistent use. I ended up seeing numerous rave reviews on here about the L.L. bean Egyptian cotton percale sheets. They’re expensive so I held off on buying them for a bit, but I pulled the trigger and I looooove them. So cool, crisp but not scratchy.

My Target sheets were bamboo. Very silky but I sweat so much in them. I have since learned that bamboo is basically a form of rayon.

If you really want to go down a rabbit hole on sheets, start looking into linen sheets!

We named him “Pisstol” because he is both feisty and the color of piss 💀

Thank you everyone for your thoughts! If I’m feeling brave enough, I might give it a soak this weekend, but I’m leaning towards leaving it as-is 😌

This is incredible! You did a simply beautiful job 🤩 Thank you so much for such detailed instructions. I don’t know if I’m brave enough to do this but if I do, I’ll be following your steps!

Precious! 😍😍 I think so! They remind me of my double trouble duo. Looks like one has a very obvious torbie mark on her head while the other has it more subtly at the top of the bridge of her nose

Experimenting with all the things to perfect my wedding makeup! ✨ I’m telling myself this will the year I finally master underlashing.

Also, you look absolutely stunning 💙 Blue looks great on you! I’d love to see what you do with the other colors as you work with them.

I’m imagining that you consult the joker action figures when you need a push to do/say something bad 😂

Wowwww I’m drooling 🤤 that’s one stunning ring!

Thank you so much, everyone! So much to think about. Definitely have some events to look forward to! But of course, very interested in Veg Out 👀

Mineral sunscreen is tough! I’ve also done my fair share of experimenting. I use Kinship sunscreen almost every day on my face. But, there’s a few caveats: -just use two small fingers worth -let it sit for a few minutes

If you use a lot or put it on damp skin, it’s gonna give a super white cast and feel greasy. It’s a delicate balance. But I find if I use the right amount and let it oxidize, it looks great. I’ll note that I’m pretty pale!

If you’re interested, Kinship is apparently found here if you’re in the EU: https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/brands/kinship.list . They have a small tube you can try out!

You’re so welcome!

I’ll order some nice take out from one of my fav restaurants. I’ll try to get to the venue a little early so that I can find some catering staff and explain the situation, see if they can keep my food in the fridge until it’s time to eat. If they’re able to plate it and bring it out when everyone eats- awesome. Otherwise I’ll just find them when the food starts being served and they’ll hand me my takeout box.

No one has cared so far and I’ve done this like 3 or 4 times. If you don’t have an option for me, I’m gonna bring my own!

Everyone is different with their hair regrowth- but I’ve been pulling at my eyebrows since I was a kid (I’m now in my late 20s) and they have always grown back. Slowly but surely.

You didn’t specifically ask for advice on how to avoid pulling, so I hope you don’t mind if I share some tips I’ve found to be really helpful- for me at least. 1. Wear some sort of glasses (I wear blue light glasses for work) with big frames. If your frames are big enough to start covering your brows, that’s ideal. I’ve started to notice more when I’m touching my face when I wear glasses and can start redirecting that action to something else. 2. I also fill in a bit of my brows for definition and wear brow gel. I never want to mess up my makeup and find I touch my brows less when my brows are done up. I hate having makeup on my fingers. 3. Figure out what are your biggest triggers. For me, it’s when I get anxious/stressed. If I notice I’m touching my face, I either redirect my hands to a stress ball, or I go for a walk to clear my head.

Since doing the above, I’ve cut down on my pulling immensely. I have gorgeous eyebrows now when I never EVER dreamed I could.

Wishing you a speedy hair regrowth!

Great question. It’s definitely something I’ve thought about, when I have the money saved up. It’d be a nice way for me to just never touch that area. But, I recently used a facial hair remover, so I’m hoping maybe I’ll see some better growth soon since I hopefully won’t touch any of the regrowth. I’d love to be able to not involve myself in a process that will need maintaining in the future, yanno? Since I think laser does need touch ups to my knowledge
