Perfume Inventory Check-in

I have just counted how many perfumes I have and at some point I just need to stop accumulating and start enjoying them. I’ll keep writing here and record my perfume experience in the coming days. 

I have 3 bottles I want to empty:

Jo Malone Wild Bluebell - surprisingly long lasting. I’ve had this as early as 2014.  A memory I recall is using this sometime in  autumn in New York. I was with Christian and Julie at Times Square. Back then I have decided that this will be my wedding day perfume but much has changed since then. Will finish this but probably wont repurchase. 

Penhaligon’s Artemesia - I got this because Christy just loves it. She loves vanilla smelling perfumes and I cant recall having a vanilla perfume back then. Perhaps Shalimar? But it is not the perfume you’ll think when you crave for a vanilla perfume. It’s okay. I like wearing this to sleep. Probably not a crowd pleaser if I wear it outside here in the Philippines. 

Elizabeth Arden Lotus Green Tea - this is a perfume I will wear if I will meet somebody who cannot stand perfume. Can’t go wrong with this. Always smells clean and fresh. I always go to this as a safe perfume. But when I discovered more interesting tea perfumes, especially with black tea - I prefer using them now. What I have in my collection are not the safest black tea scents. But for me, I love them!! 

So in the next days, my perfume experience will revolve around these three and see how they go as I blend them with other perfumes.

No pictures anymore. Christian can read without pictures and will enjoy my writing without pictures. Besides it’s making the post pretty that takes much of my time. I’ll probably dedicate some time in the future. But for now I just want to record my perfume experience.

I got Furla Preziosa on sale. I just remembered that it smells similar to Jo Malone’s Velvet Rose and Oud. The drydown only not the top notes. I dont have VRO with me anymore so I cannot check it closely. 

I topped it with Wild Bluebell. My mix today didn’t last that long. Perhaps 3hrs max. But Preziosa lasted quite long on my skin. Past 6 hours.  They blended well! Sweetness of Preziosa highlighted the sweet notes of Wild Bluebell. Since I’m quite bores with rose-oud scents, layering it with WB made it brighter.

Memo Lalibela + Jo Malone Wild Bluebell

 I got my sample of  Memo Lalibela . I can’t decide if I really want it, but I bought a Home Diffuser for €55. Crazy as it may sound but it intend to use it on my clothes and see if it can scent me! Perhaps even on my hair. Mixed it with WB and they complemented each other so well.  I sprayed Inle also from Memo at 10am. It is now 5pm and I can still smell it on my skin. Marfa lasted just as long but I enjoyed the aquatic notes in getting from Inle more. Inle is one I’ll consider getting in the future but I wont be getting Marfa.

Acqua Di Gio - Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani - Acqua Di Gio 2nd year high school (1998) to 1st year college (2002) From Fragrantica : This fragrance was inspired by Giorgio Armani ’s’ holiday spent on the isle of Pantelleria. The scent of lazy summer days and freedom. Acqua di Gio achieved its high-quality status by perfectly harmonizing aquatic notes with sweet and fruity notes of muscat grapes from Pantelleria along with blending them successfully with the freshness of pineapple and citrus notes. Watermelon blends nicely with the notes of freesia, hyacinth and ylang-ylang. The warm, woody and musky base note remind of the Mediterranean warm temperament. This fragrance was created in 1995. The nose behind this fragrance is Alberto Morillas .   Groups: Floral Fruity   Main Accords:  Floral     White Floral     Fresh     Green     Woody     My Thoughts Back in high school, I really love the pe...
