What are you wearing, Fragrance edition!

[MikuNerd65]

I'm one of those gals that are obsessed with fragrances and have about around 50 60 70 80 and still collecting...(if you want to call it that.) So I would like to know what are you wearing today?

I'm wearing Obsession...(hahaha kinda fits this thread, doesn't it? :D)

Last week was Atelier Figuer Ardent. 

I don't know if they still do it, but they used to send fun postcards, and here is the card that came with this scent. 

3/5- A citrusy slight anise figgy start. Cardamom quickly comes in. Unfortunately, so did the black pepper. The dry down was a figgy powdery scent. Quite strong. I forgot to pay attention to how long it lasted on me.

@Samtian - I didn't have a chance to try this scent.  I do still have a few of the other perfumes, but didn't keep the postcards.

@Samtian I remember getting a sample pack from them some years back with all the picture/postcards....they were so lovely, I wish I'd kept them! It's nice to see the one you shared and get that hit of nostalgia.

[Samtian]

@PDXXXX Thank you! I have all mine...somewhere. Haha.

Today I am trying out Dossier Ambery Cherry, which is a dupe of ("inspired by") Tom Ford Lost Cherry.

Top notes: cherry, almond, cinnamon

Middle notes: plum, cloves, rose

Base notes: Tonka Bean, vanilla, Peru balsam

I enjoyed this fragrance - I think it's a pretty good dupe for Lost Cherry, which I really like, and its projection and longevity are quite good. I will be doing some more wear tests, but so far, so good.

Today I'm wearing 19-69 Invisible Post.  This is a spicy and citrus fragrance.  I bought the travel size without finishing the sample vial.  I liked it so much.

Top:  Petitgrain, Fig, Tangerine

Middle:  Palm Leaf, Black Current, Cyclamen

Base:  Sandalwood, Cedar, Tonka Bean

@Titian06 I think this one has been on my to try list. Sounds great!

[caitbird]

@Titian06  this sounds like a nice one!

Every year I do a Pan It! - 2026 Challenge challenge. Here are the fragrances I will be testing and reviewing throughout the year. One mini and one travel per month. Each gets one week of use during my work. They were chosen by random number generator and not photographed in the order that was wrote down.

@Samtian  this looks like a fun assortment of scents to try! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them!

[Titian06]

@Samtian - I look forward to your reviews! 💖💖💖

This week I am working on a sample of KAYALI VANILLA | 28 Eau de Parfum 

Not my image

2.5/5- This starts out like an almost powdery vanilla. A baking kind of vanilla, which I learned after searching is the Tonka note. It's a very very strong scent. Gave me a headache. That was the only thing I could smell all day. Lasted over 10 hours. This will do well at work since not even 5 minutes into my shift I'm covered in cheese sauce. 

[Titian06]

I'm sorry this gave you a headache, @Samtian .  I'm not sure cheese sauce and potent vanilla would be much better. 😅

[Samtian]

@Titian06 🤣 if there was anything that could over take the cheese sauce smell I'd bathe in it.
