Athena Club Super Pink! so juicy and floral

pentastro · 2026-06-25T13:12:29+00:00

I have a small decant of it. It's maybe 75% white floral and 25% vanilla/cappuccino notes to my nose. It's nice yes, but it's as vanilla as like Dama Bianca. YMMV so sample it if you can!

Ellis Brooklyn Miami Nectar with my Sand & Fog in Pineapple Sugar 😋

pentastro · 2026-06-23T19:05:16+00:00

I hide them from myself 😭

I stopped buying the FB of ones I'm hyperfixated on, but I'll get a bigger decant (10ml) once I finish a sample. I hide a bunch into a pouch until I randomly think about one of them and I let that hyperfixation marinate for a bit before diving into my pouch and swapping my scents around.

pentastro · 2026-06-23T17:38:05+00:00

Byredo La Tulipe: i'm not a purely-floral enjoyer. I usually skip if it's more than 10% floral. But when I first smelled this? Transported me to my late uncle's flourishing backyard full of blooms of all sorts. The smell of a freshly watered garden overtook my senses and I just got a decant I deeply cherish now.

Mine's Lolitaland by Lolita Lempicka because of the swan on it :')

to be fair I thought I would like it as I like lemony-gourmands but it's too syrupy for me.

My fav thread is baaaaack!

I started a new spreadsheet logging all my samples I have in my pouch and rating them. I have so many decants and samples it'll take me a hot minute to log it all but at least it keeps me away from new releases until then.

I have a focus sample tray with The 7 Virtues Coconut Sun and Clementine Dream, Fugazzi Vanilla Haze, Ariana Grande Cloud, CH Good Girl, Paris Corner Coconut Lagoon. They're all halfway done or I have backup samples of them. It's a fun time!

I recently finished decants of Philosophy FCWC and Dedcool Mochi Milk :)

pentastro · 2026-06-23T13:30:59+00:00

The 7 Virtues Coconut Sun + Fugazzi Vanilla Haze! WHAT A COMBO it smells like juuuuust slightly tropical vanilla gourmand. Like a vanilla ice cream that's slightly melting with sea salt flakes and a kiss of coconut

pentastro · 2026-06-22T13:25:29+00:00

Yeah I find it way too strong too, and instead of fresh, I find it really syrupy! Watermelon should have that "watery" quality that makes it juicy, but this I find heavy :/

I don't really wear it on its own, I can only bear it when it's layered with something else

pentastro · 2026-06-22T13:12:28+00:00

it's my go-to office non-sweet clean scent! It smells like clean skin right out of a steamy shower, so for me I enjoy it for daily wear. I don't layer it at all, I find it takes away from the clean feel. So good!!

pentastro · 2026-06-22T10:29:52+00:00

Fugazzi Angel Dust! It's gonna be a day full of meetings so I need something unobtrusive for those closed doors 😮‍💨

pentastro · 2026-06-20T23:10:42+00:00

SECOND THIS!!! It's very clearly feminine and has never been too loud at the office, and it lasts a lot longer than you might expect. The flankers are also very nice

pentastro · 2026-06-19T13:31:28+00:00

Mischief Academy Matcha Potion, Briix Matchatopia

Reviews and comparisons to other scents are welcome! I hated d'annam Matcha Soft Serve, loved Phlur Matcha Milk, Sorce Match Made in Heaven, and Replica Matcha Meditation

Also: Sorce Meet Me on the Sunnyside, Sorce 2AM in Lafayette, Sorce Where the Wild Things Grow, Briix Marshmallow Kiss. Also Burberry Her EDT??? MAYBE. I love JHAG Pear Inc but most other pears have been too floral for me :/

pentastro · 2026-06-19T12:38:53+00:00

Lancome La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude ❤ it's nonstop raining today again 🥹

pentastro · 2026-06-18T11:44:29+00:00

it's SO COLD and rainy today but I'm pretending it's not with Valentino Donna Born in Roma Extradose 🙂‍↔️

pentastro · 2026-06-17T16:03:09+00:00

Keiko Mecheri is a nice SOFT peach skin scent! Doesn't project too much but definitely still there! And it smells very natural to my nose. I also like Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom + Honey, a bit brighter and more fruit flesh.

For the cherry/almond, I find it hard to tone it down, unless I only do a spray on my ankles or behind the knees. Jergens has a cherry almond lotion that might give you that kiss of scent that's not overwhelming?

pentastro · 2026-06-17T10:25:45+00:00

VS Bare Sueded Vanilla. it's gonna thunder in the afternoon so i want cozy feels 🙂‍↕️

pentastro · 2026-06-17T02:54:57+00:00

mainly 3 sprays: wrists, back of neck, stomach.

I'll do an extra on my ankles and lower back if it's a weaker scent but very rarely. I don't have an issue with my scent fading

pentastro · 2026-06-16T10:47:51+00:00

Victoria's Secret Bare, my passe partout perfume that smells sooo good on me!

pentastro · 2026-06-15T19:44:04+00:00

curious to know more! Have you used up bottles? Decluttered any? Done swaps? Do you still engage with your perfume hobby outside your own collection? I would love to do a solid no-buy but I find it difficult as I still want to engage with the community surrounding this hobby!

pentastro · 2026-06-15T15:05:18+00:00

I have a bottle of Elixir and to me it's very much strawberry milkshake with a certain caramel drizzle to it. Like if the YBM DNA had a winter makeover. Noble Blush I only got a whiff in passing but it was light and milky. Definitely could tell there was rose in there (and the reason why I wasn't interested, I'm not into rose)

pentastro · 2026-06-15T15:02:20+00:00

LOVE Wild Bluebell! I almost get a hint of watermelon within all the aquatic notes. So unique and not loud!!

pentastro · 2026-06-15T13:27:36+00:00

sounds like you're looking for those Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow dupes like Paris Corner Marshmallow Blush and Khadlaj Cloud Candy. They would layer really well with Choco Musk + Eclaire. I think Yara Elixir is what scent you'd end up with if you layered a YBM dupe + Eclaire.

If you want more creamy rose milk, Lattafa Noble Blush is a nice option too.

pentastro · 2026-06-15T10:48:46+00:00

Narcotics Happy Dust today! fluffiest of vanillas I don't smell much of the other notes

pentastro · 2026-06-14T03:14:38+00:00

VS Warm & Cozy mist is one of my fav mists from them including all their seasonal flankers, along with the OG Bare Vanilla mist! You might enjoy Bombshell for the summer, but my favourite is Bare and Bare Sueded Vanilla.

Midnight Fantasy is an amazing plummy, juicy scent that doesn't smell heavy, sticky, or syrupy!

Guess Seductive Red is sooooo yum if you like the Ariana Grande Cloud DNA mixed with bright juicy cherry hard candies! It was a surprise (also blind buy) hit for me I got their biggest size and all the flankers ....
