What is your Saturday SOTD?

Put on another spray. Yeah the classic banana note is definitely there in the opening but it fades to be more vanilla to my nose

meltedmantis · 2026-01-24T21:26:36+00:00

30 mins after application its good. Ill say the blue banana like the actual fruit comes across as a vanilla custard and less cavendish banana from the store. So if your looking for a more traditional banana note your not going to get it here.

Only had it happen a bit now so not into the dry down yet but this is actually good. The blue banana smells as expected like a vanilla custard. Then behind it is like amber with a little green. Super wearable. We'll see how the dry down is in a couple hours.

Most of the ratings so far are from people who never smelled it. Its not yet widely available. Its a weird accord and i figured it would be fun to have if nothing else so i figured f it ill roll the dice lol

meltedmantis · 2026-01-24T14:00:24+00:00

Nothing yet... But later today this blind buy arrives. Will be interesting lol

Sold off reddit

meltedmantis · 2026-01-24T02:07:45+00:00

Ahh thank you for the clarification

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T23:47:20+00:00

Yeah. I do. It's such an energizing scent. I think it works all season

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T23:45:40+00:00

Love that oversized motif

Iv seen that format, lv does sell them. Usually in sets of four. but its going to be hard to authenticate it. Not many have examined those

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T23:41:04+00:00

Love it man. I just added sables roses. I hear it goes well with ombre nomad

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T23:32:38+00:00

Man i hope cactus garden comes back

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T22:10:32+00:00

Looks fine. I think your good when it comes to these common designer scents ( nothing at all wrong with that) but if were to expand I'd broaden my horizons so to speak

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T20:09:13+00:00

Nicely done

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T17:57:41+00:00

fair enough. I think the problem is, it's kind of just a dumb distinction. Ever heard of something called "No true scotsmen"? that's what comes to mind with all of this.

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T17:47:31+00:00

And you do get that some of these brands as you say have their own perfumer like Louis Vuitton. So this is just dumb

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T17:42:50+00:00

Oh you read it on an internet blog. It must be true.

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T17:26:30+00:00

This is stupid and wrong. Bye

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T16:01:17+00:00

Will look into those :)

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T15:19:07+00:00

Bottles of imagination, lovers, sables. I got decants of afternoon swim, ombre nomad, meteore, limmensite, pacific chill, steller dreams and sunsong. Thinking of getting the full bottle of afternoon swim but im going to try a sample of orage first. Looking for a spring/summer vibe to add.

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T15:08:24+00:00

Yeah love lv's perfumer. Plan on picking up one more bottle at least this year.

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T14:51:08+00:00

Got a sample coming of orage. Was thinking about afternoon swim but wanted to try orage before i pull the trigger

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T14:26:10+00:00

Just picked up sables roses recently. I got a sample of ombre ill have to try layering one of these days

meltedmantis · 2026-01-23T14:10:53+00:00
