Atwood Parfum shout-out! Nothing compares to the special touches offered by indie brands. The perfumer, Luke, also donated over $2000 of his November profits to a soup kitchen in Provincetown. Excited to finally get my nose on this salty, leathery vanilla blind buy. atwoodparfum.com #perfumesky

I emailed this brand two weeks ago to cancel my order, and they ignored me and just shipped it today. 😾 If you'd like to buy this off me when it arrives, let me know! Notes: milk chocolate, amaretto cherry, almond, praline, mimosa, musk, styrax, Fancy Mixed Nuts, patchouli #perfumesky

My willpower didn't stand a chance against the biggest sales of the year coinciding with my birthday weekend. Now I accept the consequences of my actions. #perfumesky #noragrets

Luckyscent still thinks they're slick with these promo codes that can't be stacked with the free shipping code. After shipping, the perfume I intended to buy for 16% off would cost the same as the everyday price on Scent Split. #perfumesky

Bad news: I retired the Mount Rose Teen Princess® Perfume Annal™. Good news: I converted the Google Sheet into a website. scentedatlas.com Support independent and artisan perfumers as you smell the entire world. #perfumesky

Verdict: I am no longer into Bath & Body Works products. The scents aren't hitting the same. 🫤 Open to trade the whole shebang for something in the $50 range. Doesn't necessarily have to be perfume. Haven't tested anything—only opened lids/caps to sniff. #perfumesky

If you sell decants on sites like Mercari, but you only post a photo of the full bottle of perfume so people will view your listing, you deserve to walk across a football field of tiny Legos barefoot for each offense. #perfumesky

#SotD is the last half spray of La Tsarine by Senyokô Paris from a sample vial I rationed for years. 🥲 The juice has lost a lot of its nuance, but I still get an elegant woody base balanced by a generous dose of assorted feral musks. Equal parts filthy and fancy. #perfumesky

What was your signature Bath & Body Works scent? I haven't shopped there since high school, but I couldn't resist these prices. I got Moonlight Path for the nostalgia, and I am hoping Warm Butter Cookie evokes the same Butter Cookie scent that vanished in the 1990s. 🙏 #perfumesky

If Andrea Maack is on your wishlist, Yvette currently has full bottles at a substantial discount! Combined with the early access Black Friday code she recently emailed, I scored a 50 ml of Flux for the same price Andrea Maack charges for a travel size. 🤯 shopyvette.com #perfumesky

Breaking news: scientists discovered that we’ve actually run out of numbers. “We’re fucked” said one mathematician

Random sniffs! 1900 L'Heure De Proust by Les Bains Guerbois: Sort of like a blueberry version of Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden. Duende by Anatole Lebreton: Possibly the final boss of stank. The oud, civet, and castoreum didn't come to play! Not for me, but I'd dig it on someone else. #perfumesky

I don't know why, but the mail arrived 7 hours earlier than usual (!!!) with my limited R/I/L/E box set by @clstprfms.bsky.social. This set contains the 4 accords used to create Rile. Each is impeccable and wearable on its own, but the set is also designed for layering experimentation. #perfumesky

This account smells of wet soil, the haze of a dusty room lit by a solitary sunbeam, a hoard of neglected perfume samples, existential crises, dog feet, and an antique wooden trunk full of secrets. #perfumesky

At this point I'm struggling to remember the last time I didn't have a migraine, but at least I had the energy and supplies for #girldinner. 💃 And shout-out to Aldi for these crackers that somehow didn't get stale despite being opened about two months ago.

November plans. 🌲🌲 I've been shifting my focus back to physical media and figured it was close enough to my birthday month for a little treat. I'm also about to delete my Amazon account entirely, so this helps ease the sting of losing years of digital media and ebooks. #TwinPeaks

#SotD Nosferatu by Heretic Parfum We all know it and either love it or are sick of hearing about it. Simple petrichor with wet stone and a ghostly trace of fresh lilac that fades in and out on my skin. Perfect for a dreary day, and gentle enough for the tail end of a migraine. #perfumesky

#SotD Shalimar EDT and Shalimar L'Essence Bought decants for my mom to consider as a replacement for her decades-old bottle of drugstore perfume. She was drawn to L'Essence, which to me is richer, smoother, more resinous. I kept the EDT. Powdery, a little sweet, a little skanky. Yum. #perfumesky

I did it! I scoured the planet and battled the tariffs to bring you one.. more.. batch of The Space Between! I had no idea this was going to become an award nominated perfume and become so popular! If you’ve been waiting this long, thank you! Get yours while you can. This is the last of it— Really!

Let’s run into the fall season with juicy harvest fruit notes of apple & pear, complemented with warm spices on a bed of tangy, tart berries & sweet vanilla. Top: Spiced Apple, Pear Nectar, White Peach Heart: Cinnamon Sticks, Clove Leaves, Peony Petals Base: Vanilla Extract, Tart Red Berries

#SotD Little Song by Meo Fusciuni I decided today was a day to wear oversized sweats, catch up on cleaning, and smell fancy as fuck while doing it. Coffee and dried rose tempered by citrus and spice. If I detected this in the wild, I would seek the source like a ravenous bloodhound. #perfumesky

Thank goodness @lvneaperfume.bsky.social has tariff-free shipping to the U.S. because I couldn't resist this limited release. Vanitas enticed me with a notes description that includes overripe fruit, candle wax, woods, bread, wilted flowers, and dusty leather books. I love it already. #perfumesky

Today I remembered the time a doctor noted in my visit summary that I was "well nourished," and I still think that is the most diplomatic and hilarious way they could have called me a big back.

New ick discovered: videos that aren't labeled as ASMR, but the person is speaking so softly I can hear their wet mouth noises 🤢 I don't know if it's a generational thing or what, but I would rather listen to the grapefruit lady than hear this while someone talks about perfume.

#SotD À une Madone by Pierre Guillaume Revisited this while considering a cheap secondhand bottle. Woody vanilla with notes of pee pee that remind me of honey nut Cheerios milk. Sweet, sexy, feral, oddly addictive, but not a need. My wish list animalic is still La Tsarine by Senyokô. #perfumesky

#SotD Lutin Errant by Buchart Colbert A pleasant stroll through the woods is abruptly halted by a miasma of obnoxiously strong musk I associate with men's deodorant—and of course it is clinging to me like an obsessive ex. No desire to continue with this set. Off to Mercari with ye! #perfumesky

#SotD Chambre Noire by Olfactive Studio An abandoned Victorian mansion, untouched for decades. You open a door and are greeted by a closet full of dolls that contain the trapped souls of the previous owners. 👁️👄👁️ Reminiscent of Moth by Zoologist. Soft, dusty, cozy, full of secrets. #perfumesky

#SotD Relique d'Amour by Oriza L. Legrand A scent that evokes Winona Ryder's character Mina in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) after she receives the immortal kiss. Damp castle walls, a wilted white bouquet, remnants of incense embedded in heavy velvet curtains. Forlorn elegance. #perfumesky

#SotD Tache de Café by Le Monde Gourmand This discontinued gem was a cheap Mercari blind buy that has my flabbers gasted! A fusion of Mexican dark hot chocolate and espresso with paper and ink. Warm, rich, cozy, a bit mysterious. Truly impressive for a brand at this price point. #perfumesky

Getting ready to sniff through the thoughtfully curated lipstick-themed scent mail from @loisreynolds.bsky.social, migraine be damned! I have been into sampling for over two years, and this is my first experience with lipstick notes. 💋 (Perfume names listed in alt text.) #perfumesky

#SotD Nuit de Bakélite by Naomi Goodsir, a.k.a. My preciousssssss Green and full of contrasts that keep my nose on its toes. Opens with a snap of crisp, juicy stems that almost lean green peppery. Tuberose and the milky goo of fuzzy stems meander in to soften the edges. Such a stunner. #perfumesky

Subtly downgrade a band: Annoyance Against the Machine

#SotD 🔥Rapture Edition🔥 Morosexual by Treading Water Perfume A morosexual is someone who is sexually attracted to stupid people, so it feels like an apt choice to represent those who expect to ascend... again. Notes: Tobacco, Vanilla, Patchouli, Jasmine, Star Anise, Nutmeg #perfumesky

#SotD Valensole Romance by Wren Atelier (gifted by a very kind person on TikTok) Rich cocoa gives way to wheat, hay, lavender, and raw honey. Late summer in a bottle. Has me in my feels. Not yet available in the U.S., but they will be at ScentXplore with their new discovery set. #perfumesky

Update: This is migraine fuel. I had forgotten how beast mode it is until I was on the road for an hour stuck in my car with it. Several hours later, something in the base emerged that smells like the Bounce dryer sheets in the orange box. It got even worse after showering. Such a pity.

Finally sniffed the discovery set by @anjali-perfumes.bsky.social that was kindly passed along to me by @whatsophiasees.bsky.social an eternity ago. Each scent is an utterly elegant, thoughtfully crafted story. Flame of the Forest and Monsoon Madness in particular made me swoon. #perfumesky

1. Inchworms 2. Birds splashing in a street puddle 3. When I sit on the sofa with my morning coffee, and my 65-lb dog squishes her way behind me like a meaty backrest 4. People with hearty, distinctive laughs (and the ripple effect it causes) 5. Window film that casts rainbows in the sunlight

I've had a case of the mopeys today, but I finally opened the scent mail I received from @loisreynolds.bsky.social last week, and my heart feels like it got a hug. Super grateful for the connections I've made through this smelly little hobby. #perfumesky

Me when I get the Stéle restock email about my ultimate wish list perfume, while knowing they are the only U.S. shop that has it, but also knowing I need to remain financially responsible: #perfumesky

Yesterday's #SotD for a family dinner meetup was Disco Nap by @osmperfume.bsky.social. I am on pins and needles waiting for my preorder of the newest batch! Each time I wear it, I love it more. Today's scents will be @cirrusparfum.bsky.social. I couldn't resist the summer collection. #perfumesky

#SotD Incenso by Santa Maria Novella My little treat during a recent trip to England, found at an incredible stationery store in Oxford. Lightly spiced incense with slight sweetness on my skin that softens the edges. Just enough sillage to get me complimented at an art fair today. 🥰 #perfumesky

Just once I'd like to not see an elusive perfume suddenly pop up on Mercari less than 24 hours after I make a sale for nearly the exact amount it costs. Why must I be tested like this?? #perfumesky

ICYMI:

How have I not heard about Nocturnality by Arquiste until now? 😳 Latex, leather, "animalic flowers," and multiple animalic musks. It sounds absolutely filthy and oh so naughty. Has anyone tried it? #fragrancesky #perfumesky

Had some Mercari credit that was about to expire, made a risky lowball offer on a Buchart Colbert gift set, and actually had the offer accepted! 🎉💃 I am elated. These have been on my try list for years. Tell me about your recent steals and lucky finds! #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#SotD Trackside Buddleia by Scent Trunk Nose: Ezra-Lloyd Jackson An addictive blend of Buddleia, honey, morning dew, and car exhaust that perfectly encapsulates the space where rural and urban landscapes merge. I am *swooning* over this and baffled that it doesn't get more attention! #perfumesky

Alright #perfumesky can someone confirm if this is true: Did Luckyscent finally switch to spray samples??
