The new Fragrance Groups 101 chart

The fragrance flowchart for beginners.

I know Kenzo and Issey Miyake but who are other Asian fragrance makers?

I picked up a decant of pic related this morning from a local fragrance qt3.14. I'm surprised how soft this scent is. It opens with gorgeous powdery iris butter scent with some addition of popcorn. Then the popcorn becomes more prominent as the time goes and at the same time it seems like it's getting more and more burnt as some smoky notes are coming out. It's completely wearable and snice despite the name and the brand.

Hello Sirs, incest of the morning is:
>DELHI In the disorder of New Delhi, its many narrow streets, the heaps of houses, this atmosphere overheated with a thousand scents goes up to the nostrils: vanilla, musk, benzoin, smoked wood, eucalyptus, an explosion of perfumes.
I also found notes listed on nose.fr.
>head notes : anise, eucalyptus
>heart notes : woody notes, grass
>base notes : benzoin, musk, myrrh, vanilla
What the hell is this bullshit? How a literal incense stick may develop anyhow if it is linearly burned?

>>15911324
I just bathe myself in 1.5ml of French Affair executed by the same perfumer Quentin Bisch. This stuff is all I wanted from Chanel Misia and much more. Piercingly fresh neo-chypre.

sun is out for once, gonna put on a lot of bengale rouge and head out >:)

>>15911363
Mogging cunts with cinnamon. I have the last of my Lys Mediterranee sample on today. I’ll miss it, but it’s not full-bottle worthy.

I'm the le 3° homme fag from yesterday and my rating is 3>yatagan>puh

pic related is my sotd, it's quite okayish, reminds me of my nonnas soap

aaaand my amber cologne arrived in my country, it's at customs atm and hopefully they wont charge me a ton

What would you say are essential perfumery books?

I have both of the LT/TS books. I’m thinking of things that either offer insights to the industry, a history of perfumery, or maybe books by perfumers about their philosophies or life in general.

>>15911468
That book on luxuries which has a section on Chanel, name escapes me, someone will know what I'm talking about

>>15911468
Ive downloaded plenty of books about frags but gonna disappoint you. Their either encyclopaedic or not even close to be as engaging and enjoyable as LT’s stuff. There was exception. A book with 100 very short stories about different fragrances. It was quite nicely written. I’ll look up the title later today.

>>15911499
In a way I thought that might be the case. I know people like Ellena have written, and I think Roudnitska too.

>>15911494
Thanks, hopefully somebody does.

>>15911499
>>15911514
It's "Perfume: A Century of Scents". Here's a chapter about Kouros.

>>15911452
Good and unusual taste. Keep posting.

>>15911525
Thanks, that's great. I love the inclusion of the context of the time too, I think that's often overlooked. Not always relevant of course, but a fun thing to think about.

>>15911468
> I have both of the LT/TS books
There are three books of reviews, Folio Columns, The little book of perfumes and The secret of scent. Which means you only have two books out of six.

>>15911549
Yeah, sorry, I meant the two guides. I have the Folio columns on my wish list. Are the rest worth reading for a fan of the guides?

>>15911514
I'd rec JCE's, it's probably 75% things you already know if you frequent fragrantica or you're at the point you can name who did this and that perfume but there's some really interesting bits, he not only talks about perfume but the industry and gives context. His writing is also rather witty, not out there like the Turin duo but certainly not dry science book.
>>15911549
He probably meant the two guides, 2008 and 2018. The one I still want to read is the one about the 100 best perfumes or something like that, just to see if there's something more interesting to say than what's on the guides.

>>15911549
>The little book of perfumes and The secret of scent
Can you tell us something about these? I’ve read both guides (what is the third one you’re referring to?) and now for Folios if kindle. How big is the overlap between them and the other two?

>>15911211
I still have an 85% full bottle of Lanvin avant garde that I was chilled into buying 5 years ago by /fa/.
I can't bring myself to part with it because it's discontinued.

what fragrance is recommended to combine with my cigarette smell?

I'm extremely frugal and minimalist.

What are the best fragrances under $60? That's the most I will spend on it.

>>15911624
What have you tried and liked so far? It would help if you gave us more information.

Anyone know when pic related is coming out?

Thots on pic related? Been wearing for a while, although its a bit feminine. Can't say why I like it so much. Smells like bug spray but in a good way lol. Can't identify many of the notes.

>>15911604
Any leather scent. Maybe Ombre Leather. or a musk

>>15911627
I spent an afternoon at a sephora-like store before covid. These are what stood out.

>Terre Hermes
>Invictus (though this one was a bit obnoxious)
>The One (extremely weak though I remember spraying like 6 times before I could actually catch wind of it)
>Allure Homme/Sport

Basically something clean and confident without being overbearing. I also don't like to smell like a parisian rentboy like most colognes.

>>15911641
Lalique Pour Homme, the one with the horse on it. It can be bought on eBay for like 23 bucks. I've got no idea if you would like it but it's very good for the price. All of Lalique's masculine perfumes are, they can be found in the 20-30 dollar range.

>>15911641
Carven L’Eau Intense

>>15911409
agreed - and I even (well besides of bengale rouge and a few others) like more subtle fragrances but lys mediterranee didn't do enough for me, but it's entirely pleasant.

on another note it looks like bortnikoff ran out of musk cologne ingredients. I feel my hand is forced to buy a bottle from a retailer while it's in stock

The third guide is from 1994 originally. TS translated it to English and it was published last year. It is his first book.
The little book of perfumes contains reviews from all three books. My version has the updated reviews as of 2011. I find it handy.
The secret of scent is about his theory how the scent works. About 30 percent of the book are his stories though, like how he worked in Moscow or smelled Fougere Royal in Osmotheque.
He’s writing a forth book of reviews btw.

>>15911345
Yeah that makes no sense, still sounds nice though. Anise, vanilla and myrrh sounds great together. My grandmother used to bake cookies with anise.

>>15911816
>Costume National Homme?
I did. It's disgusting.Smells like this one shelf full of spices and different kinds of teas everyone has in his kitchen. Too much happening at the same time.

>>15911863
>The third guide is from 1994 originally. TS translated it to English and it was published last year. It is his first book.
Interesting. Isn't there an overlap between the 2008 guide? He already reviews even very old scents in the 2008 guide so I am not sure what would be the new content for 1994 version.
>The secret of scent
Interesting. But desu now that his videos are online posted on vimeo for like $3 I don't know how much sense would it make to buy it. Additional stories would be nice though.
>He’s writing a forth book of reviews btw.
I know, I also got quite excited but it's probably not be finished before 2028. Hope this old bastard won't loos his sense of smell completely before publishing it.

So, the girl who’s coming over tonight just sent me a pic of her naked with her legs pulled back behind her head like a pretzel.

Scent for this feel?

>>15912003
Post the pics and I’ll tell you the perfect scent.

>>15912008
Nah.

>>15911906
> overlapping
Yeah no, reviews are different. Yatagan is better on a woman, for instance.

> how much sense in the secret of the scent
The book is $12. It doesn’t follow the academic writing requirements but structured way better than his lectures.

> 2028
I hope he’s finishing it already during the virus restrictions.

Any scents that were made in the 1920/30s that are still around, For men?

>>15912031
Pour un Homme de Caron

>>15911635
Love it. It’s just snice. Just sweet, powdery white florals and rose. Actually does give me a snow vibe. I agree that it’s a bit more feminine-leaning, but who gives a fuck? It’s great stuff.

>>15912036
preciate that im not the only one that feels that way. Sweet but a bit deeper i feel than basic vanilla scents

reminds me of skiing on a clear winter day

How do you suppose this man would smell?

New Hermes from February 24. Clary sage, narcissus flower and rosewood. Refillable bottle. “Very discreet” says Nagel.

>>15912067
Oh fuck

>>15912003
Kouros
And pound her like there’s no tomorrow

If you woke up tomorrow to unlimited money and resources to make a perfume exclusively for yourself what would you make?

>>15911289
Uhm if I don't like a smell from the flow chart does that mean that I won't like anything beyond it or is there still a chance?

Thanks for the book recommendations, lads. It's my birthday in a few weeks so maybe I'll ask for something.

I went to local Notino to pick up Black Afgano and sniffed some Bulgaris from their fresh, light tea line 'Eau Parfumée' as I was really impressed with their au The Noir a few days ago. Holy fuck anons Au The Vert smells like Xerjoff Mefisto Gentiluomo with tea added (but it's softer). The quality of this line for the price is incredible. People so often come her to find some affordable but interesting warm weather scent. This Bulgari line works perfect - and a bottle costs some funny money like $50 for 150ml.

>>15912080
I’ve had an idea for a while now that I’d like to see. Something sort of inspired by Szechuan food. It’d be an oriental, something spicy and fiery but not too sweet. Dry citrus peel, Sichuan peppercorns, black and pink peppercorns, red pepper, smoke, sandalwood, coriander, cardamom, star anise, ginger, maybe a touch of vanilla, but that dry vanilla like in Straight to Heaven. Maybe throw in a little rum or cognac to round it out.

Actually, something like that might be kinda cool for like a Zootopian Dragon frag.

>>15911629
Pretty sure it’s already on their site and a couple stockists, saw samples were up on Tigerlilly yesterday

>>15912069
Will do!

>>15911529
SOTE Etruscan water
Refreshing and comforting at the same time, it’s the most easy going from her but still has so much character.. I’m still unsure of buying a bottle tho

>>15912083
You probably should have found something, but that list is just an opinion. It's like reddit, you get more upvotes if you buy from the approved list.

>>15912319
Probably not insanely loud, sweet, oud-y, etc.

safe Office fragrance.

>>15912047
Post a non-anime example. I can't relate to cartoons, so can't help you.

what are some good cinnamon/spicy scents besides Spicebomb?

I’ve only dabbled in clones until now. Are Parfums Vintage and Alexandria known to be much higher quality than DUA? I know none of them are super high quality, but every PV and Alexandria I’ve smelled is at least passable. Whereas every DUA I’ve smelled is blatantly amateur and abrasive to the point where I don’t even know how they’re a known brand.

>>15912047
Like Guerlain Heritage.

>>15912409
Cinnamon, Bengale Rouge.

Spicy, Ambre Sultan or Chergui.

>>15912409

>>15912428
thanks bro

>>15912435
and thanks to you too bro

>>15912409
Musc Ravageur, though the cinnamon isn’t the most prevalent note. You do get it, though, and it’s one of the overall best frags out there,

Did you have sex today?

just got a bottle of the chad of fragrances

>>15912478
Did you have it with your bf?

Is versace l'homme any similar to eau sauvage?

>>15912599
no.

>>15912345
sounds promising, I'm looking for new office frags and I haven't been disappointed by hermes yet.

>>15912478
No, Feb 14th 2020 was the last time. Banged some American whore who blew me like I never had experienced before. After the act she told me that she tweeted while I ate her out about me doing that. When I woke up the next day and took a shower, I heard sobbing from my room. Turns out she had a boyfriend back in the states and the poor fellow read her tweet and broke up with her.

Was super scared of STDs after that until I got tested.

Wore Invasion Barbare that evening.

>>15911893
Really? The fragrantica reviews make it sound like my jam but if it edges into savoury territory that’s not my thing

I’m going to buy it regardless I think

>>15912599
Not at all

>>15912630

>>15912630
Whore as in prostitute or as in skank

>>15912642
>>15912611
How much better is eau sausage then

>>15912647
Skank, although I felt like a patron as I paid for the whole evening without her ever suggesting to go dutch (social expectation around here).

Invasion Barbare made overall for a great scent in this date context. Wore it to office during that time as well, although only one spray.

>>15912649
Different fragrances really. Used to own and like both. L'Homme (I understand that we're talking about the OG not LNDLH - that I simply dislike) was a gift from one of my ex-gfs when I was in early 20's. It was nice, fresh but with enough substance provided by spices. She literally told me that 'she's giving me it as she wants her man to smell like that'. Now I'm 28, learned way more about myself on the way, Eau Sauvage was my own choice not a gift and I wouldn't change it for L'Homme. It just vibes way better with me and how I want to present myself. The similarities are that both are clean, citrus-aromatic-fresh spicy scents that both would work very well in professional setting. Eau Sauvage is a bit more mature because of mossy-earthy undertones (but not dated). Both are available literally everywhere so simply go out, smell them and decide yourself which one is a better choice for you.

Fags are soulless demons in human form.

I mean I'd like to try jerking off a nice dick, so I'm definitely not 100% straight, but the obsession that most gays have with nasty and unsafe sex is indicative of being a soulless demon.

SOTD is Cielito Lindo

>>15912821
>Fags are soulless demons in human form
Brother, are you on the wrong board

>>15912821
As if this is only a gay thing. If you don't like fucking random club and tinder girls in both holes raw you're probably not straight either.

>>15913006
Only a gay man can be unattractive and have hundreds of sexual partners over the course of his life.

I don't know why I'm still subbed to this channel. They talk about a lot of perfumes I like but based on a few things they've said I can tell they're "Orange man bad" people. Also due to the disparity in their attractiveness (not shown well in pic, but she's pretty good looking) I can't help but think that the guy likes watching her get fucked by other dudes.

DH2020 is hard to beat. An impeccable product for that setting.

>>15913585
A Russian guy from basenotes have reviewed it already. He says it is an ambroxan fougere.

“First, the bottle seems very simple like something from mid 2000s from a Montblanc type of a brand. Hermes could do much better!
The advertising presents a guy in a megapolis. Also the theme from 2000s. No connection to sport cars!
The scent itself is surprising to me. This is not the thing I expected from Hermes and Nagel in 2021. A fruity fougere with a modern twist. The first comparison that comes to mind is Diptyque Eau de Minthe. The same combination of a typical fougere structure (imagine TF Beau de Jour) with synthetic woods and an overdose of ambroxan in the base. I get something friity (melony) in the dry down that makes the scent a bit sweeter than I prefer and a bit similar to Bleu de Chanel.
The fragrance is very powerful. I did 3 sprays and feel myself uncomfortable like everyone around me smells it. I face the same effect with Bleu de Chanel, maybe the fans of Bleu could love H24, who knows.”

An interesting choice of clothes for the ad btw.

>>15913684
Jesus, what a disappointment. I hoped that perhaps Hermes is going to be the first one to end the entire ambroxanmania we’ve had for last 10 years and then Chanel, Dior, Versace will follow the suit and think of something new too. Nope, they’re just trying to monetise it very late. So we’re about to see another few years of reign of Sauvage,BdC and alikes. Isn’t Sauvage a ‘dads perfume’ already for young zoomers?

>>15913810
Isn’t a decade too short for a given fragrance style to go out of fashion?

>>15913810
>Isn’t Sauvage a ‘dads perfume’ already for young zoomers?
It’s a dads perfume for me and I’m 20. He, my uncles and other boomers in family wear it.

Testing pic related. Damn, does Indian oud always smell like blue cheese?

>>15913102
Ask them to review Trump's frags and enjoy the REEEEing that ensues

>>15913837
It's good though, isn't it? My favorite of hers is Amber Loup, but I refuse to buy a bottle after hearing that it used to be even better. The performance sucks too, and supposedly that was better as well.

>>15913815
Sadly, yes. Mainstream frag houses will make whatever is popular amongst normies, wait for niche houses to come up with something new and original and then copy it and run it down to death.

>>15913810
>>15913816
I think it's important to consider that fragrances are a common gift around the holidays and Father's Day, and those gift sets/what sales associates push are going to naturally be in line with general sales trends. Even if an older guy goes in himself to buy a scent, the sales rep might not try to sell him Eros/Ultra Male but I can't imagine they're suddenly going to pull out Eau Sauvage/Chanel Pour Monsieur just based on his age either.

>>15913891
Yes, after 30minutes marks the aged blue cheese note goes away and it becomes more woody with a slight barnyardish-twist. It tells me that it's one of very, very few houses who actually uses real oud.

>>15913276

>The agarwood mentioned in the bible (Ps 45:8; Pr 7:17; Ca 4:14 ) was popularly attributed to the Hindi Agallocha species of agarwood plant that exists primarily in the northern state of Assam, India and its neighbouring regions. The tree is large and can grow to a height of 100 feet. The inner core of the trunk and some branches are impregnated with resin and an odoriferous oil from which comes the highly prized perfume. Apparently attaining its most aromatic state when in decay, the wood is sometimes buried in the ground to hasten the decaying process. The wood is then to be used for incense burning in order to utilise its fragrant scent and plentiful odoriferous oil.
>It was mentioned in the bible that Nicodemus brought “a roll of myrrh and aloes” weighing about 100 Roman pounds (33 kg), to be used in preparing for Jesus' departure. Nicodemus’ contribution must have required a considerable outlay of money on his part. While some apply the term “aloes” in this text to the plant of the lily family that now bears the botanical name of Aloe vera, the product of this plant (a thick juice from the leaves) is employed not for its aroma but as a purgative and for other health-related purposes. The aloes brought by Nicodemus was highly likely the same aloeswood or agarwood product as that referred to in the Hebrew Scriptures and Muslim Hadiths.
Wtf, I love oud now.

As much as I want to try Kouros again, a part of me says no because of how much I've disliked it the past 2 times I've tried it.
Is DHC better than Montblanc Legend Spirit? Is it worth the extra cash? Looking at the notes they both look like the kind of light scent I could use after training.

>the favorite perfume of Vladimir Putin is non-other than Amouage Gold Man.
Holy fucking based. Can someone tell me something about this perfume?

>>15915228
Not Sauvage? Oh.

Does anyone have a rec that works for Winter/Spring? It seems like very few of the recs on the /frag/ list are tagged for Winter/Spring.

>>15915236
Some spicy stuff but with a fresh twist. Plenty of things to pick up from both charts. Also, you can't go wrong with pic related.

>>15914990
hi, I'm here from reddit's /r/mfa and I hate door sausage. It's toxic masculinity in a bottle. Better off with niche unisex frags, more enbee friendly and less gun shooting, weight lifting chud.

>>15915228
Lol, it's real. Absolutely based.

>>15915250
You got it completely wrong. Sauvage is THE reddit scent. Enough to go on r/fragrance there and take a look.

>>15915247
Thanks, I'll look into a sample of that. I think I was looking for something around the fresh/green-tea area, but that isn't so herby/vegetative/grassy that it's out of place in the winter

If you don’t like L’homme flankers, you’re a faggot

>>15915250
When I smell Sauvage in the tube it’s always a chavish twink teenager in slim fit pants, a buttoned up polo and a fake diamond earring in his ear or an Arab immigrant. Are you from India or Middle-East by any chance?

>>15915267
The only good one is the og on the left. Otherwise I really hope you keep these bottles somewhere hidden. It’s a bit embarrassing to be this much of a brand consoomer.

>>15915263
Bulgari au The Noir then

>>15915278
Awesome, thank you. I've been interested in Bulgari but I haven't wanted to take the jump yet, maybe I will now, though

>>15912409
Issey Miyake Noir Ambre is a phenomenal cinnamon/saffron/amber scent, if you can find a bottle. So fucking sexy.

Snice picks. I know and like them all but this Lalique in the middle. What's that?

>>15914153
>A welcomed relief from prolonged abstinence. Drenched from the sky, an invigoration of wood and earth, asphalt and ash. Awoken, aerated, then released. A eulogy for long hot days broken with weighty rain. Outdoor showers absorbing a drink. Dormant rock and aching fields entering the ether and resting on skin.

>>15914409
It all actually checks out. In this snippet from Ian Fleming's book it wasn't Bond's apartment/bathroom. It was all planted by the villain there, so desu Eucris makes perfect sense. I agree with you that it's really dark. One of the most gothic fragrances I know. But the oakmoss there was the first time I really appreciated the note. I had this associations between oakmoss and dated fragrances but the one used in Eucris is to die for imo.

I don't know what to think about this one. It's very well blended, soapy with some conifer and herbal sweetness to it. I keep sniffing it on my wrists, but if i wear it, just keep getting whiffs of something dry and bitter, and it puts me off

>>15915356
A cheapie with a drydown that gets compared to Kilian Straight to Heaven (though I'm going in with low expectations)

>>15915398
BeauFort London Lignum Vitae

>>15915381
The notes for that sound really nice. Is it overly classy/gentlemanly? I don't really like perfumes like that. Not because they're too mature but because I'm not a classy person.

Is Dark Rebel Rider a reasonable alternative to your big standard date night frags? Only thing stopping me from getting a bottle is the apparently awful longevity. At the same time it's cheap enough that buying a sample isn't worth it imo

>>15912095
Sounds like I will have to get a sample

>>15914987
Mugler cologne

>>15915168
Legend spirit smells like the prototype modern aquatic, fresh synthetic like a super snice deodorant. Jeremy says it's his favorite gym scent and I can Really see that. Dhc has the wonderful dh DNA, very close to my old early 2000s dh sport. It's much more of a parfum scent, more classy, but also less subtle

>>15915228
Fucking parfumo fags told me it smelled to feminine, I know I should have ordered a sample

>>15915570
You should try the original version. You can buy it for relatively inexpensive prices. They must have made a lot of it.

>>15915574
What is the 'original version'? How to tell a difference between it and 'new' versions? Thx

>>15915228
>Can someone tell me something about this perfume?
Hot take: that's the best Amouage's frag together with Figment.

>>15915574
From a quick ebay search it does not look like it's cheap to get at all here, all the vintage ones are around 350 for 50ml

>>15915589
Because they are the only ones with animalic notes? I am really interested in them both too, but it's surprisingly hard to get a sample that I don't have to order from international ebay

>>15915602
>but it's surprisingly hard to get a sample that I don't have to order from international ebay

This is not a waste of a post, it brings joy to me every time I see it.

Ensar Oud makes some very good stuff, but he's a grifter for sure. "This oud oil is worth 20 times more than what we're selling it for, this is our gift to you"

Bullshit

>>15915687
Yeah, I cringe at every single of the trio Ensar-Russian Adam-Bortnikoff. However, Bortnikoff seems at least a tad more down to earth than the other of these two retards. Their vlogs are pure cringe.

Bortnikoff is good, I own Musk Cologne and Musk Khabib and I'm very happy with them. I actually really like Ensar but like I said he's a big time FOMO pusher. I don't think Areej le Dore is worth a shit, I've never smelled the real hyped stuff like Siberian Musk though. If it's as good as Prin's Mriga (which is said to smell very similar) then he's at least sometimes a good perfumer.

>>15915725

Has anyone tried this and would they care to share their thoughts? I love fougeres, and that style of scent blended with resins, spices, and sandalwood really gets my attention.

>>15915448
I think it's overly classy, but it isn't a clubbing fragrance either. In my mind it would maybe fit those sprezzatura guys, I don't really have any connections to this smell, it's quite unique from what i have already tested

>>15915776
It's really great, huge value, one of the best perfumes for the money I've ever smelled. It wouldn't be outrageous if it cost 4 times as much (going off eBay prices).

>>15915785
I don't think it's overly classy i meant

what am i in for?

Is he doing ok?

>>15915935
Define "okay"

Kouros always puts things in perspective. I'll be testing out a perfume and liking it, but when I think about Kouros I'll say "Nah this shit is gay and has no personality".

>>15915944

Germany

Look what they did to our boy

Wearing another of my newest sample order, today Interlude.
I ordered jubilation/interlude/reflection just to re-smell some of the amouages, and I can say that I still don't think they're at all interesting enough for their price point. Jubilation has some personality but the other two are pretty stale (but good quality). Either way fine to re-remember this.

Will switch to something more interesting after my evening shower >:)

The Lubin's 'Talismaina' line is great. Not only interesting as inspired by ancient folklore and heroes of the past but also simply great smelling. I'm testing Korrigan and it's great, confident smooth leather.

>>15916460
They also have one that is a polite nod towards Americans.
>No one, before they changed the world, had imagined a New Civilization born solely of audacity. 10 000 men had, one morning, like millions of others, left their homelands for Freedom. They had no hope of return. But unlike their fellow travelers, the dreams they carried were larger than life. Dreading no obstacle, they would celebrate every moment of their lives. Within 100 years, they built a country where nothing is set forever: the United States of America. They became: The “Upper Ten”.

Anyone got any fragrance recommendations that are more plot-driven? I know it sounds stupid but there's something about using a fragrance cause its got a cool plot that really attaches me to a scent - mostly have CDG, and MMM scents because of this, shit's just so good bro

>>15916522
Moth and Rabbit are inspired all by movies and all created by Mark Buxton (the guy who did the silver CdG 2). Their Parasite and La Haine are fucking great experimental fragrances on their own but the fact how the notes development progresses together with the movie plot is a spark of genius. You can't get way more plot-driven though.

cheers for the recc, would appreciate anymore you have!

Fragrance is the biggest waste of money ever conceived

switched from interlude to portrait of a lady. Almost took on fall into stars again, that shit is wack but in a good way

>>15917420
True, if you have naturally good pheromones you don't need to mask it with money. I get compliments on how I smell all the time and havent bought fragrance for 6 years, last stuff I got was a homemade one from my mom for Christmas '14

Liz Moores posting a picture of her cleavage on her Instagram stories nearly killed me. I’m almost certain she’s doing it specifically to end my life. She was posting her lingerie the other day.

Scent of the evening is the last of my Remarkable People sample. Probably my favourite ELDO, although a touch sweet. I’d like it if the spices were a little more beefed up to tame the sweetness.

>>15913894
