Sample 2. Phaedon Pure Azure
Calling all fig lovers 🚨 immediately on my full bottle wishlist. A breezy seaside, figs, and soft white florals. Magical. Relaxing. 9.5/10

Sample 1 from my SS order. Francesca dell’Oro Vanille 08:00
Really struggling to understand the hype for this one. I am just getting play-dough factory and doll heads. Sends me back to being 6 and using a playdough extruder to put hair on my bald baby doll. Not awful but.. eh. 4.5/10

Last sample from my LS order. RDF Green Vanille
I wouldn’t wear this but I love it on my husband. Stems, clean vetiver, SPICY. A little medicinal and rounded out with a subtle nutty creaminess. NOT a gourmand. Not sweet. You must appreciate spicy, aromatic greenery for this lol. 7/10

Sample 10. FZOTIC Lilac Brûlée
Oh dear…. This is weird. No lilac or whipped cream to be found. I get mostly screechy synthetic marzipan and rhubarb and…
musty attic/burnt tobacco?? Very sweet but not gourmand as expected… idk what’s going on here but it’s not working for me. 3/10

Sample 9. D’ORSAY Flower Lust
Oh em geeeee this is lovely. Spicy, naturally sweet orange blossom and ylang dripping in warm amber. Ropion always kills it in the spicy floral department. The performance is nuclear btw lol. I’ll def be snagging a bottle for fall/winter. 9.5/10

Sample 8. Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique Extrait
A clean, sparkly, lightly sweetened floral. Airy & ethereal. Much better than the EDP, but still not enough to justify that Ex Nihilo price tag. If I ever see this under $200, I’ll snatch it.

Sample 7. Mischief Academy Winnie the Pooh
I love lavender, clary sage, and tonka. I’m really iffy about honey, v hit or miss. Unfortunately this is one of those honey fragrances that immediately gives me a nauseous headache. Had to scrub it off, can’t give a real review 😭. */10

Sample 6. Ormonde Jayne Levant
After hearing so many raves about this one, I guess I expected… more? Don’t get me wrong, this is very pretty and a great office safe, youthful & classy spring fragrance. But it is very reminiscent of other citrusy white florals. 7/10

Sample 4. Nectar Olfactif Secret du Nil.
If you like vintage vibes in your perfume, this may be for you. Sharp, honeyed neroli & bitter almond. Striking. Soapy. Only the slightest bit sweet. A ‘50s starlet’s powder compact and the smell of early spring. Not for me. 5/10.

More scent mail and moooooore samples 💕. Jupilò Wine Vanilla is an incredible powdery, fruity vanilla btw and I highly recommend it if that kind of fragrance appeals to you. Not wine-y at all lol, not sure why they named it that.

Wore this last night/to bed. Wish I hadn’t. It’s giving Axe body spray. I feel like that’s enough said lol. Disappointed after how much I loved London Fog. 4/10.

Sample #1. Aziri Paris Granita.
First spray is watermelon jolly rancher (reminds me of Wavechild). Settles into a drydown of velvety smooth, juicy honeydew melon with hints of creme brûlée. Tropical dessert for sure 🤤. Longevity could be better, however. 8.5/10
