/fa/ - Fashion

Went to the fragrance section yesterday, an adorable little french girl showed me at least a dozen different frags and hooked me up with some free samples. Don't remember half the names cause many smelled the same to me, was probably too much for me cause I'm a noselet lol

>Chanel Egoiste
She said it smells like "green". If i recall right, smelled reminded me of very strong gin, lime, and cucumber on the blotter. Herbal and kinda fresh. Did not like it since I want something woody and warm

>M7
pungent strong rum, that's all I got out of this. I have a feeling needs time on the skin to really show character, didnt like it on the blotter tho

>YSL Splendid wood
the first one I liked. woody and overwhelmingly smokey at first, but this smokiness tapered off to let wood take center stage while letting thru an underlying hint of sweetness. I have the feeling it's not a super complex profile, which is why my simpleton nose liked it.

>Maison Martin Margiela Whispers in the Library
Too warm and feminine and sensuous at first...but the more I smelled the more I liked it and eventually got a sample. That warm sweetish note I thought was myrrh but apparently it's vanilla. Imagine vanilla sandwiched between two old books with wood shavings sprinkled on top. Based on the name you'd think this would smell old and boring, but it should really be called "Sex in the library" . Worried might be too feminine to wear but i liked how it smelled anyway

>Gucci pour homme
Boring. smelled like something for a middle aged woman
