I'd love to get some jasmine oil again at some point. That stuff is so intoxicating.

Sooo, Signorina in Fiore is here. Hmm, apparently I am into floral scents only and not into fruity, anymore. It smells good, fruity, fresh, but a lil cheap. Maybe the sorbet is too heavy, I don't know. Eleganzza is waaay better. Glad I ordered the smallest bottle. It's acceptable to wear it, so I'll bring it with me at the camming apartament, to poof poof myself here and there))

Great Jasmine centric fragrances that won't break the bank:
Beauty by Calvin Klein
Memoire d'une odeur from Gucci
The jasmine in both of these are absolutely esquisite. Chef's kiss!
And then there's Jasmine Petals & Cedarwood from Indulgent Moments. If you see that in your local discounter...as a Jasmine lover, pick that shit up! I got my bottle from Marshalls for only $12.99.
Bath and bodyworks has a flash sale today on mists. I think I will wait until semi annual sale next month.
I think I might buy some perfume oils online.

I am wearing Bath and bodyworks Midnight Swim. It's a nice fresh aquatic floral.

I've taken quite the liking to Replica Beach Walk recently
Bath and body works white citrus.

This sounds really nice - I'm going to go and try it when I go shopping this weekend. It has a lot of notes that I like, but I'm wondering if it might be too sweet.
It's pointless me buying perfume 'blind' as I quite often tend to love the sound of one but find it completely different when I smell it, obviously because of that specific combination of notes not hitting the right spot.
I don't know what it is but I can't seem to find the perfect fragrance so always layer/blend a couple that I love. There's just something unbalanced about them individually, to my nose anyway, but haven't found anything I prefer.
I wear Serge Lutens Chergui (a bit too sweet/cloying alone) and Burberry Touch (a bit light/sharp alone).

It's probably the cranberry note at the top of Burberry Touch that makes it so sharp. I personally avoid that note for that reason. Burberry Brit is a great alternative and even better, Burberry Brit Rhythm. To me the latter is soft and soapy. Burberry Her Intense is another great one.
I've come to realize that certain citrus fragrance notes do not agree with me. Like lemon, grapefruit and my beloved LIME. If I spray those on my chest or hair I end up with a headache because they're too sharp. I sometimes run into this issue with fig notes as well if they're too green. So now I just spray them on my wrist and behind my knees.
^I have never found a perfume with citrus that I love, other than Gucci Envy which is long discontinued. It's strange as my favourite smell in the world is fresh citrus, and I usually love green and citrus fragrances at first but they don't translate well on my skin at all.
Scandalous Sandelwood
There's ways to get disconnected perfumes, if you scroll back I have a couple listed
I tested some fragrances at the airport and I treated myself to Burberry- Her eu de parfum. Omg it's so delicate and sweet!!
Hm I tried some of other Burberrys today but they are a bit too fruity for me. They didn't have Brit in-store though. The soapy, powdery notes are what is missing from Touch - I'm convinced it used to have more powder and creaminess and has changed, or maybe my nose has changed.
I think I'm going to try old school White Musk with my Chergui and see if that works.

I normally don’t do sweet scents at all but I looked this one up and I really want to smell it. Sounds like a scent men would like (to smell on women); I used to work at a cosmetics counter way back in the day and when it came to women's perfume men always liked either really musky scents or reeeeally sweet scents, like cotton-candy sweet. I do remember Britney Spears’ Fantasy being guys’ number one favorite.

I really want to try some Etsy perfumes: https://www.etsy.com/listing/6844689...=1&frs=1&sca=1
I'm about to get some Summer scents Jlo Miami Glo and Jill Sander Sun and Auqa di Giola . I need fresh or beach scientists too hot in Texas to wear something strong or sweet in the summer.
xoxo
^Yeah they get overpowering and sickly in hot weather.
Oh I used to love ADG, it got reformulated though, still nice but not quite the same as before.
Versace Bright Crystal not my favorite trying to use it up.

Funnily enough I almost never get complimented by men wearing Pink Sugar, always women and usually girls I work with. Maybe my skin doesn't mesh well with it lol. Too bad I freaking love Pink Sugar! I will drown myself in it regardlessI love layering it with other perfumes I have as well!
Men at the club compliment me the mostt on Ariana Grande Cloud and Viva la Juicy. Out of my mainstream perfumes at least lol. I wear mostly indie perfumers work nowadays as it's cheaper and just as quality imo. I'm a perfume whore too so it's easier on my wallet this way
Next on my to try list- is Solstice Scents Manor. All the rave reviews I've seen of it are making me curious and I do love a well done vanilla scent
