kind of random that akro is releasing fragrances every other month now that theyve run out of addictions

#sotd Dossier Floral Marshmallow (Love Don’t Be Shy Dupe). Near identical dupe except it does too much so it’s too sweet and enveloping for me. If you are into dupes, Dossier has very professional packaging and free returns so you won’t feel unsatisfied without the real thing.

#sotd elorea water | even though ive smelled this combo so many times, this was just so viscerally bright, refreshing, & thirst quenching. their store is also so great. full of curious, college-aged customers with their friends. no weird pretension or stuckupness at all. i want to do a tasting there

even though fragrantica takes me on a beautiful journey through the highs and lows of human experience, parfumo has 1000% better UBI and ive fully switched over

#sotd ds & durga crush balls | i didnt have a very textural experience here. i only really got the grass. soft lawn was a much more vivid, realistic tennis fragrance. i think this is aiming for the smell of watching tennis? while soft lawn was the balls so that would track? who knows

#sotd Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill part freshieTM & part $6 juice shot in a metal glass, it’s refreshing in nausea & heat. it’s more about the vibe than the notes, but you can pick them out.

i like it & love the concept, but this wouldnt inspire the “to die for” feelings u need to justify the price

#sotd everyone likes replica by the fireplace. smoky wood & vanilla reminiscent of (goes without saying, duh) a fireplace during the winter and campfire during the summer. not too smoky for conventional tastes but not too sweet for vanilla haters.

#sotd Phlur Tangerine Boy. best budget alternative to afternoon swim. it’s a watery, cooling, refreshing poolside orange of that same genre (albeit less stunning). much more energy than ck one summer daze and solid longevity. i hear this goes crazy on peoples skin, but it’s the same as paper on mine
