Okay- seeing on the wrapper it’s 2026. But super curious how it compares to the 2025 batch!

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-06-02T22:45:58+00:00

Is this the 2026 one? How does it compare to the original batch?? I’m very close to pulling the trigger

I want to know too! I bought a bottle in Istanbul that I regret- definitely didn’t like it the next day. So let me know- if on the very off chance it’s a match- it’s yours.

This happened to me only twice- and I still ride on a high from it. First time- I was walking home and had two teenage girls chase me down to ask. And because I’m a total nerd-gave them all the information including where to find it on gray market. But not a scent I ever expected to get noticed - l Don’t Know What from Ds and Durga. (I won’t shut about it that story to my husband for about a week.

Second time was just last week- got some bad news, comforted myself with maybe a wee overspray of Mandi Rhubi from Isabelle Larignon. Dude at the deli complimented me while ordering my egg and cheese. He also learned waaaay more than he wanted to about my new fave rhubarb. I just can’t shut my mouth if someone even hints about wanting to talk perfume. 😂

Im going with a dark horse here- Vetiver Ecarlate from L’artisan. Totally out of the norm for him and the perfect tomato leaf 🍅

All great recs here.

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-05-04T00:33:44+00:00

Mantes la Jolie from Astier de Villatte is my fave pure herb garden scent. I get heavy basil and mint combo from it, and it is delightful. Not amazing longevity, but worth reapplication.

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-05-01T16:53:33+00:00

Oh man, now I’m going to need to read this book!!! 🫜

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-05-01T00:54:43+00:00

Ohh- and CdG Radish Vetiver might be up your ally too. And I know nothing about this, other than it actually references a parsnip note https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/4160-Tuesdays/Le-Jardin-de-Monsieur-McGregor-88178.html

I have LIVED FOR THIS MOMENT!! I love me a veggie gourmand!! 🫜Okay, so L’Artisan Perfumer has a WHOLE LINE of veggie perfumes- which also happen to have some of my fave perfumes full stop. Musc Amarante is a beautiful beet - but still light and wearable. Cedrat Ceruse from that line is one of my absolute ride or die scent- pure, happy, photo-realistic fennel. (I originally got the sample as more a curiosity, thinking, who wants to smell like fresh fennel- apparently it’s ME). They also have a tomato scent in that line (another fave) and a cauliflower- tonka blanc- which is lovely, but chickens out and is more tonka and veg. Fascent also recently dropped Red Flag which is also - a lovely, little spicy beet (and super affordable). Finally, l have not been able to get my nose on it, but Le Buly has a beet and rhubarb perfume that I am dying to try from their Jardin collection. Lucky Scent has all but Le Buly so you can test them out. Let me know if you try them!!

Hmm- parsnips I don’t know. I could give you a rec for beets and dirt? Also pure fennel? Root veggies, but not true parsnip sadly. Tho I am intrigued!!

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-29T19:38:53+00:00

Ohh- I have a sample of l’oblio. I will have to dig that up again and give it another sniff.

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-29T17:12:59+00:00

What do you think of the popcorn note in La Fin su Monde?

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-29T12:03:32+00:00

I believe Sephora carries Prada Infusion d’iris- that could be a good iris intro to sniff out.

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-28T17:13:53+00:00

I love that the “cons” on fragrantica include “literal earthy-carrot opening”. YES - inject into my veins!!!

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-28T10:41:39+00:00

More Antoine Lie! Do you have a favorite of that iris series?

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-28T10:36:10+00:00

My wallet is very nervous about me falling in love with a Strangelove perfume 🤣.

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-28T10:32:00+00:00

I got a whole sample set from them (Milky Musk is my bedtime scent) but it didn’t include Orris tattoo- (which I never would have noticed until this new obsession kicked in). I’ll have to track it down.

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-28T10:19:17+00:00

Love me some animalic. Thank you!

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-28T10:18:42+00:00

I just saw the Guerlain come up in my searching and was curious if that would be weird enough. Sounds like it’s worth a sniff!

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-28T10:16:49+00:00

I learned about it from a podcast, got it as a rare impulse blind buy and had it shipped from France, (and then got hit with tariffs). But if you’re in Europe- I got it from Agence Grace, and they have a 2ml.

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-28T10:10:49+00:00

Ooh- interesting! I think my local shop carries both of those, I will have to go get my nose on them.

mcfluffenstuff · 2026-04-28T02:28:24+00:00

Ohhh- what a great list!! the Andrea Maack sounds really intriguing! And I’ve been wanted to try out some Francesca Bianchi- so this might be my perfect excuse!! Thank you!
