Do you have a box full of perfume vials and/or a vanity covered in perfume bottles? Are you the Goldilocks of perfume, just looking for the perfect signature scent? Do you want an opportunity to post daily about how your perfume of the day smells oaky and smoky with hints of blackberry and currant, like a cigar in a whisky barrel rolling through a Mediterranean orchard on a breezy summer morning?
If you answered yes to any of the above, or you just want to hop on board for the ride, join us for a 31 days of perfume challenge starting January 1st! Some of us from the 25 days of lipstick challenge wanted to continue the fun and exploration, and since many of us have so many perfume samples, we thought this challenge would be perfect. If you don't have 31 perfumes or hate everything that doesn't smell like Meyer lemons and fresh goat cream, that's fine--we're just aiming to use the neglected perfumes we have laying around and incorporate them into our perfume rotations.
And if you want more perfume vials, there's no better time than now to take a peek at Sephora's samples section.
Edit: Anyone can join in at anytime! We're here to support, live vicariously through, and encourage everyone in their olfactory adventures!
Day 12 - Katy Perry Killer Queen
I was confused at first, this smells almost exactly like V&R Flowerbomb. I still get whiffs of it here and there that make me think it's Flowerbomb, but the lasting power and sillage is quite poor. I have on 3 spritzes from the vial and it's weaker than one spray of Flowerbomb.
The notes seem to be very different (patchouli and bergamot are common notes though), so I'm surprised they smell similar. Could be my unsophisticated nose too!
Might be good for those looking for a cheaper alternative, but since I have a full size bottle of Flowerbomb already plus a couple of travel sprays, I won't need this!
Other notes: Praline, plum, frangipani, jasmine sambac, forest fruits
Day 12: Nest Citrine. I love this one. I think it smells like a delicious, refreshing cocktail with lemon and gin, like a Tom Collins or Bee's Knees.
Notes:
Lemon Blossom, Lotus Flower, Freesia, Dew Drop Accord, Precious Woods.
I like this one!

Derek Lam 10 Crosby Ellipsis:
Notes:
Australian Sandalwood, Jasmine.
Style:
Modern. Feminine. Romantic.
"Evening on Crosby Street. Their eyes meet. What could happen in the ellipsis between… An anything-is-possible blend of warm sandalwood and jasmine that results in something entirely modern and feminine. "
"There are so many great moments when I see a girl walking down the street and she’s super stylish and very inspiring. Crosby Street is so unique—it’s one of my favorite in New York City."—Derek Lam
Day 12: aerin amber musk
i really like this! The musk is definitely the dominant note, but I can smell the rose too. I need to wear this more often!
This sounds amazing! I didnt mind the Ikat Jasmine fragrance by Aerin, and I love a good rose with a musk base..definitely going to try this, thank you
This sounds good!
Day Twelve: Frederic Malle's La Parfum de Therese
A mature, sophisticated scent. There is so much going on: bright citrus, fleshy melon, plush florals with a touch of indolic jasmine, etc. It's complex yet feels effortless.
I once heard FM describe one of his fragrances as Photoshopped and I thihnk this applies to the whole house. The scents have a pristine quality and even the heavier, rougher ones have space or breathing room between the notes.
I have this! Excited to try. 🙂
Definitely recommended! I didn't "get" it at first and it's not an instant crowdpleaser, but I recommend giving it a little time as it's worth it 🙂
Day 11: Prada Candy
Why...Does this scent bore me. I think I just expect it to be much more exciting, and it's relatively typical.
"Why...Does this scent bore me." This! I feel the same about it!
There's not a lot to it. I'm pretty sure it's the 'adult' version of pink sugar. I used to love those sweet cotton candy scents but seem to have grown out of them.
Day 11: Cloé Love Story. I can't decide if I like it or loathe it. It's Floral with a capital F. It almost seems to get stronger the longer I wear it. I may need to scrub my wrists before I try to go to bed!
This one is quite floral, I agree. But I really like it. The signature Chloe is one of my favorites, and I feel Love Stroy is similar, but doesn't wear quite as powdery to me.
It's giving me a headache! 😒
i'm pretty sure that means this perfume is not for you:) sounds like you could use a relaxing bath and a glass of wine to get over this terrible occurrence;)
Eek! That's no good! Definitely wash it off!
Day 11: Lancome La Vie Es Belle
From the website:
Top Note: The elegance of Iris becomes the backbone of the fragrance. It blossoms from the first to the last note like never before.
Middle Note: The strength of Patchouli gives strength and depth.
Base Note: A sweet gourmand adds a burst of unexpected radiance.
I was running late for work today so I just grabbed something I knew I liked.
Day 11: Stella McCartney Pop
