BOPIS orders are just more convenient when you work that day. Picked up the ND palette because it was on sale and the PT foundation after I had the PT brand rep in store shade match me. Also did it for the challenge.
My sister in law took my mother and I to a store I hadn't been in, in the next town over. Big mistake for my wallet! I was ecstatic to find some Voluspa and Tokyomilk (and their off shoots). I've been enjoying the Jasmine Midnight Blooms very very very much.
I also have a gift card for Sephora, and I thought maybe I'll treat myself to KILIAN Paris Blue Moon Ginger Dash 1.7 oz / 50 mL eau de parfum spray for my birthday in a few months. So I ordered a sample of that, Fredric Malle Lipstick Rose (which I love already) and 2 Byredo. One is the Casablanca Lily which has been on my to try list and a newer one Desert Dawn I wasn't aware of before.
Fragrance Description: A flash of lemon essence, combined with calone that adds an โon the rocksโ feel for inimitable freshness, this is a KILIAN Parisโ signature. The perfume quickly leads to a vodka accord along with organic ginger essence all set on a base of white musk, with ambroxan resonating notes from start to finish.
Desert Dawn-
Byredo Desert Dawn was launched in 2024. A woody spicy unisex fragrance, it has notes of cardamom, rose petals, carrot seeds, sandalwood, cedarwood, silk, musk, papyrus and vetiver. Byredo Desert Dawn is an edp, eau de parfum.
From the brand - "Desert Dawn by Byredo is a celebration of nature's creative juxtapositions, offering a universal take on the woody olfactive family. This scent opens with the inviting sweet spices of cardamom and rose petals, before giving way to the enveloping warmth of sandalwood, cedarwood, and carrot seeds at the heart. An enticing finish of vetiver and silk musk is enlivened by the crisp, clean scent of papyrus, invoking the dry heat of the desert and the warmness of the first rays of dawn."
Byredo Casablanca Lily is a unisex Amber Floral fragrance and was inspired by the thriving city that rises on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. From its Berber roots to its colonial heritage, Casablanca's modern identity is a mix of diverse cultures, a place in constant change between tradition and modernity. Given time, the city unravels itself, revealing the most amazing corners, a vibrant kaleidoscope of Moroccan life found nowhere else. The fragrance surrounds you like the elegance of the city that inspired it: abundance, richness and grandeur combined.

LIPSTICK ROSE, the fragrance of timeless glamour, by Ralf Schwieger.
An eternal gesture of seduction, that intimate moment when a star, in the quiet comfort of her dressing room, looks in the mirror and glides her lipstick over her lips. The powdery fragrances produced by the violet and the iris, two flowers associated with eye shadow and other make-up products, whose scents conjure up the magnetic appeal of the eternal feminine. To elicit a smile, a playful, juicy note of raspberry counters the effervescence of the grapefruit. And for sweetness, there are velvet threads of vanilla and white musk. It's all there. Showtime.
