Perfumes on our top shelf right now—all our recent purchases and discoveries.
MCM eau de parfum. Our discovery from last year is now in Manila! Raspberry and Ambrox are prominent notes for this fruity amber scent, the fashion brand’s first. We’ll delve deeper as this deserves a post of its own.
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine. As we typically don’t prefer jasmine, this was a surprise. We love how jasmine was balanced with citrus in this floral scent.
Jo Malone London. We got several bottles from our London trip, but Blue Agave and Cacao is a standout. This discontinued scent is only available in the Archive Collection at the JML flagship store.
Byredo Sundazed. A happy, bright, long-lasting citrus+cotton candy scent. We want this in all formats.
Byredo Velvet Haze. Creamy, soft, and reminds us of sweet coconut. It’s clean and musky. It’s also easy to love.
YSL Private Collection Blouse. We think this is a winner in composition, as we can’t smell individual notes here. It’s an experience really, reminding us of sweet, musky rose and cashmere. We are obsessed with this now.
Chanel Les Exclusifs Jersey. Sophisticated lavender that’s not spa-like with some greenness and vanilla. It was a toss between this and Boy for us but this was pretty unique.
Prada Paradoxe. We love the scent as much as the bottle. It’s a floral amber that hits warm and feels fresh. Enters loud, then becomes soft. It’s been a while since a major Prada perfume launch and this does feel very Prada and pretty special.
Chloe Atelier des Fleurs Hibiscus Abelmoschus. We discovered the private line recently, and this was our entry point. Now we have 4 more. It’s everything you’d imagine Hibiscus tea to be in a perfume–light, green, fresh, gentle, and delicate. We love this.
Jo Loves Fig Hair Mist. Another London discovery. We did a tour of the Jo Loves boutique and discovered more of its unique fragrance formats. This is one of them. The super-fresh scent lasts all day on our hair!
Estee Lauder discovery set. We couldn’t decide on which perfume to buy, so we got them all in these cute miniatures. These are 4 of the 8–Tender Light, Dessert Moon, Dream Dusk, and Infinite Sky.
