2023 Reflections: My deep delve into the world of perfume
a perfume subscription website that was offering a half price trial, so I joined and received an 8ml of "Good Girl (Eau de Parfum Legére) | Carolina Herrera", which I really liked but quickly decided it's not really "me". This then led to me discovering perfume communities on Reddit, Fragrantica (ick) and Parfumo (love). I learned that decant websites were a thing now and that...

ScentXplore 2023 (Virtual Event)
in-person. Most seemed flustered and were clearly reading out of the cue cards provided by the organizers. I appreciated ScentXplore's transparency in showing the percentage of votes each finalist got, but oftentimes it was shown on the screen but presentators forgot to mention it. I congratulate Fragrantica for being this year's Most Impactful Content Creator – Writing winner, but I do hope...

Looking Back At A Year of Fragrances: Lessons Learned and Mistakes Made
My first designer was "J'adore (Eau de Parfum) | Dior" , my first celebrity fragrance was "Cloud (Eau de Parfum) | Ariana Grande" , my first perfume oil was "Nemat's Vanilla Musk | Nemat International" and my first sampler set was from Kayali. In Febuary, I discovered Parfumo and left Fragrantica. I leaned heavily on what Sephora and Shopper's Drug...

The fear of fakes. Temptation, will power and regret.
have fragrances that are spoken about all over YouTube being incredibly cheap but in our circumstances because they are so hard to find they can become very expensive when in stock and often sell out in days, sometimes even hours. An example of this recently is Hawas Rasasi for him. Fragrantica is full of recent reviews about how amazing it is for the crazy cheap...

Awards for artistry or what the consumer is willing to buy?
the last day of October 2022, I came across an article on Fragrantica heralding the perfume houses that had won awards at the Beautyworld Middle East Awards 2022. The ‘Breakout Star Product of the Year’ was an EDP that is rumoured to have duped (or better said, had been inspired by) one of Creed 1760’s more popular fragrances. The comments section was not so......

Tips and Ideas on Writing a Fragrance Review
writing skills by redacting reviews ever since I've started my journey in this hobby. It helps me keep track of my impressions of all the perfumes I have tried. It also allows me to hone and keep up with my english (since it's not my first langage). I've spent countless hours on Parfumo, Fragrantica and brand websites reading about fragrances, gathering information. Perfume...

Kayali Discovery Sampler Set FULL REVIEW
sugary and vanilla notes of another perfume. When I'll finish my 50ml bottle, I might get myself a 100ml bottle. "Musk | 12 | Kayali": It's a soft musky and powdery smell. I tried it at the beginning and even then I have trouble recalling the smell without the help of my notes and my review on Fragrantica. I remember it being a soft fragrance ideal for spring and summer. I also recall...

Journal Entry: Into The Hobby of Fragrances (Part 1)
i've had better success at spraying it on my hair. I'll probably empty my bottle but not repurchase another one. Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere by Philosophy: This is one of my two blind buys from Winners/Homesense (TJMaax for those in the US). I had already spotted this fragrance through Fragrantica (and because of my obvious love of gourmands). I don't regret buying it at all!...

Review Furla Autentica
guys, Say hello to the newest addition to my Furla collection! 😁 Since I spotted the new Furla Autentica fragrance on Fragrantica, I was looking everywhere to get my hands on it, because well, it's Furla, obviously, my favorite brand when it comes to fashion accessories and bags, and it's description sounds just like the kind of fragrances I like. Earlier this week, Autentica finally showed up at Zalando...

Voting for void...
headbutt the butthead responsible for its creation at any given chance. So Monsieur Demachy, you better give Northern Greece a wide berth if you don't wish to find out how hard headstrong heads might be.What matters however is that the fragrance has already almost 50 "reviews" on its page in Fragrantica and I bet they will double before 2015 exits the scene. A good deal of them is scolding Dior/LVMH for taking...
