#sotd is oakcha's vanilla gelato 🍨

this is a delightful vanilla (and i'm picky so that's a win) but it doesn't feel like gelato. there's a woodsy, powdery quality about it rather than a lactonic one. feels soft and clean but still has depth. i am... 🧵

#sotd is oakcha's lemon cake 🍋🍰

smells more like the icing than the cake itself- like when you're making icing out of powdered sugar and water or milk, but still very lemony. lemon pound cake by B&BW comes to mind, but this seems less strong out... 🧵

#sotd is oakcha's banana crêpe 🍌🥞

surprisingly photorealistic banana on first spray!! gets a little sweeter/more synthetic as it sits, almost powdery. i can see where the caramel comes in, it and the tonka are sneaking around behind the banana... 🧵

#sotd is oakcha's marshmallow mist 🍊🍦

this feels much less marshmallow and much more orange, like a candied orange dusted with powdered sugar. the orange is sharp, the vanilla/marshmallow takes the backseat but is still noticeable. i'd classify... 🧵

#sotd is oakcha's nectar whirl 🍮🌰

fun, sweet, lightly nutty! i'm not a big nutty scent fan, but unlike yesterday this IS changing my mind a little bit. she's young and playful, almond heavy with caramel on top. i didn't know what to expect... 🧵

#sotd is oakcha's mango mousse 🥭🍨

definitely mango, but i don't really get a mousse/creamy quality. more of an ambery scent, closer to a mainstream perfume than a true gourmand. the amber deepens it and the florals take it away from foody, imho. 🧵

a friend gifted me oakcha's gourmand discovery set as a late christmas gift!! it's been so long since i had a new bunch of samples to try, so excited! i've also never tried oakcha before, so this will be fun (˶˃ ꒳ ˂˶)

#sotd is B&BW's snowflakes & cashmere ❄️🧺

still mad they haven't made a full size EDP of this... soft and sweet without being OVERLY sweet, the caramel shines through but gently. genuinely one of my favorites B&BW has ever done. i have the lotion... 🧵

#sotd is sabrina carpenter's me espresso! 🍫☕

very bready on first spray. dries down into a sweet but subtle chocolatey-coffee scent. kind of synthetic, but that's not a bad thing. i don't get the florals personally, but i'm sure they'd stand out... 🧵

back from the dead! first day back at uni for my last semester. #sotd is lush's sticky dates + B&BW's honeycomb. i smell like a rich, warm, caramelly syrup. i like layering sticky dates with the milk scent from B&BW as well, both add something new... 🧵

new addition! a gift to myself for persevering. 4.0 GPA this semester despite getting broken up with after 8 years and taking microbiology AND anatomy + physiology at the same time.

#sotd is demeter's nutmeg ice cream! at B&BW we got a new collab with milk bar bakery in NY, and one of the scents is cinnamon sugar pretzel cookie. i used the cream last night and it smelled so good i kept sniffing myself. i thought this would go... 🧵

i've been forgetting to post, it was a busy week!! i wore this last week but wearing it again for my #sotd, one of my favorites. i love the complexity and uniqueness of this, i've learned i'm a sucker for tobacco scents. projects well on me! 🧵

#fragranticawarriors #perfumesky #fragrancesky
wearing my oil perfumery version of jazz club as my #sotd!! it's cold and snowy where i live so i felt like smelling a little boozy and spiced for a monday at uni . *₊ ⊹ ݁˖ .

back again this morning... #sotd because it's simple and clean, and i need to shower when i get home. it's still too warm out for my liking, so i didn't feel like food smells.

i need more sample kits to talk about. what sample sets do you all like?

today's #sotd!

i had to wear something a little simpler today since i'm volunteering at the animal shelter in the afternoon (cat enrichment <3) but i love this scent so much. simple but still eye-catching and sophisticated, good for any season! love!

#sotd! my former-barista, coffee-snob friend has liked this the most + said it was the most realistic out of all the coffee scents i own, so take that as you will. this has become a staple for me, especially in the cooler weather. happy monday all <3

my mom is getting me d'annam's vietnamese coffee for my birthday next month and i'm FROTHING AT THE MOUTH i am SO EXCITED!!! i've wanted her SINCE i got into fragrance. struggling to contain my excitement! o(≧∇≦)o

i meant to post this this morning and forgot- i’ve been running around like a crazy person all week. #sotd! i love demeter and i want to drown myself in chocolate. this is as simple/perfect as it gets. i only wish it were a smidge stronger. chef kiss ✨

#fragranticawarriors #perfumesky #fragrancesky
my #sotd is dark chocolate by demeter! sometimes simple is the way to go, and she’s never done me wrong. record low temps where i live (currently -3°F) so i wanted to exude a cup of hot chocolate for the poor souls coming to my classes today ⋆⁺₊ ❅ .

my #sotd! oil perfumery’s impression of maison margiella’s “when the rain stops”.

pretty photorealistic rain. when i inspect closer i get more bergamot/moss/green. up before dawn today and it’s cloudy/ going to rain… only right to wear this one! 🧵

wearing her as my #sotd for a sharp boost, hoping for some of the aromatherapy benefits of citrus! i put on eucalyptus + sage mixed with juniper + sage body lotion on after my shower yday and i felt this would work well with it too.

happy monday! <3

#fragranticawarriors #perfumesky #fragrancesky
#sotd: oil perfumery's version of gypsy water!

sharp, bright and aromatic. the citrus brings this out of purely green territory. i don't get any of the warmer notes on settling, although i can see where the incense could come in. she hold her own... 🧵

layering choco musk + the ghost wants birthday cake because that vanilla note in the latter is borderline undetectable 😭 #fragranticawarriors #fragrancesky

#sotd!

this is hitting me differently today. more of a soapy/clean quality, maybe because of the citrus? the floral is more vague, less specifically rosy. i wanted something bright to keep me focused for my upcoming tests, but this isn't... 🧵

#sotd: riddle discovery kit 4/6, poppy!

the lemon packs a PUNCH! i get more floral as it sits for a while, but that citrus knocked the wind out of me on first application. i like how it interacts with the rose, both its own rose and the Belle... 🧵

today's #sotd!

definitely seductive like i said before! wearing this with sweatpants and a sports bra makes me feel like i'm put together and comfy on purpose, instead of just being lazy... this is a big girl, mature scent for sure. have a good day!

#fragranticawarriors #perfumesky #fragrancesky
#sotd: OO discovery set 11/15: mardi gras ⚜️

the civet is much less intense here than in sonnet xvii. a gentle, seductive mix of lighter florals and deeper animalic warmth. a touch understated but stands on her own- you have to get close to smell... 🧵

this was YESTERDAY'S #sotd, i forgot to post... my previous description of it hit the nail on the head. didn't stay on my skin as long as i wanted, but i was running around a lot yesterday so i'm sure i probably sweated it off, LOL.

#fragranticawarriors #perfumesky #fragrancesky
#sotd: riddle discovery kit 6/6, voyeur!

a gorgeous finish to my riddle journey. i'm usually quite picky with vanillas AND ambers, but they've knocked it out of the park. sweet and comforting but not sickly or synthetic smelling, which i love. 🧵

#sotd - al rehab's choco musk!

one of my first perfume purchases after i got into the hobby. sweet with a touch of depth and slightly spiced. i was hoping for more chocolate, but this is still quite nice and good for an intro to the hobby! 🧵

wearing the black opium dupe for my #sotd!

not an exclusively coffee scent, it takes the backseat. more of a big-girl scent, sweet and sophisticated without being too gourmandish. i don't usually like pear/orange blossom, but it mixes well!

#fragranticawarriors #perfumesky #fragrancesky
#sotd is my oil perfumery version of black opium, layered with al rehab’s french coffee! my friend at uni who’s a barista made me a delicious coffee yesterday and it inspired me this morning. if only coffee scents came with caffeine… (sigh) ⋆ . ˚ ☕︎
