Dior - Fève Délicieuse

Perfumer: François Demachy
Year: 2015
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really dislike Dior but wanted to see what all the fuss was about with this one. To my dismay, she was a winner. Dior basically region locks certain scents.

Atelier des Ors - Lune Feline

Perfumer: Marie Salamagne
Year: 2015
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've tested a lot of vanillas, and Lune Feline is prooobably my favorite. It's actually strong for a vanilla scent... I don't know if the spices here do a lot of heavy lifting, but I've tried other spicy vanillas that just don't really pack a punch. It's pretty long-lasting, which I love. Sometimes I get tired of smelling the same perfume throughout the day, but I never get tired of Lune Feline.

Guerlain - Terracotta Le Parfum

Perfumer: Thierry Wasser
Year: 2014
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rich white woman on vacation at a resort type of summer scent. It doesn't smell like sunscreen to me, but it definitely reminds me of it and the beach. Not sure if I go noseblind to this, but it seems to only lasts a couple hours. I really like how it immediately uplifts my mood when I spray it. A lot of these tropical white floral scents are fairly interchangeable to me though, whether it's this or something by Tom Ford...

Once I'm done with my bottle I might upgrade to Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle. She's the final boss of the white floral fragrances.

Roger & Gallet - Thé Fantaisie

Perfumer: Alberto Morillas
Year: 2017
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sweet, juicy, citrusy, spicy. Perfect sweet scent for summer as it never gets too sweet or overpowring, it just flourishes in the heat. I bought a big bottle for my sister too, and my family loves it. I'm not necessarily reminded of tea thaaat much, but I do think I like this more than something like Tea For Two. It lasts surprisingly long and the price is just chef's kiss. Unfortunately, it seems like they discontinued it? Seems like Feuille de Thé is the replacement.

Tom Ford - Lost Cherry

Perfumer: Louise Turner
Year: 2018
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really really really love cherry as a note, but unfortunately cherry seems sort of hard to formulate into something that lasts. I've tried quite a few cherry scents that were either too juvenile to me or the cherry scent was overpowered by other things or faded too soon. Lost Cherry, as much as I hate to admit it because I don't like Tom Ford, is one of my favorites. I'm sure there are other cherry scents out there just as good or better, but I've found the one here. It's just so overtly cherry to me, but also rich and smokey and sweet and perfect.

Room 1015 - Cherry Punk

Perfumer: Jérôme Epinette
Year: 2020
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Runner up to Lost Cherry in terms of cherry scents I've tried but still 5/5. I just have a little 10ml travel bottle. Cherry Punk smells like cherry and leather... Definitely more "punk" than Lost Cherry. The cherry facet lasts long too.

Diptyque - Eau Duelle (EDP)

Perfumer: Fabrice Pellegrin
Year: 2013
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of my favorite vanillas. When I smell it, I think of a huge forest up north somewhere. It's a woodsy, non sweet vanilla. Simple but I've smelled nothing really like it since. Too bad it doesn't pack more of a punch in terms of sillage...

YSL - Libre (EDP)

Perfumers: Anne Flipo & Carlos Benaim
Year: 2019
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of the more "unique" regular degular designer frags, in my opinion. I've heard people say they've smelled this out in the wild so much that they can't like it, but that's not a thing where I live. Almost regret not getting the intense version...but I feel like this one is more okay to wear in slightly warmer weather. There is nothing masculine about this, at all to me. So floral smelling, just fills the room, I love it.

Clean Reserve - Warm Cotton

Perfumer: Steven Claisse
Year: 2016
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Smell like a laundromat for 8 hours. Dryer sheets. I love the smell of laundry/detergent and this cuts through hot weather sooo nicely. The much cheaper non-Reserve version smells almost the same.
