#sotd 10/20, 10/22-23 #perfumesky: Profumo di Firenze 1954 Dolce Prospettiva is pastel 🍊 from all angles but felt like I was smelling it from far away despite being on my skin. Milano Dolceaqua pressed salty baby wipes to my nose 🤧Arquiste Grove by The Sea drits sea air over an olive grove🤩

#sotd Solstice Scents Manor. Ponderosas bleached in the sun. A dry hardwood floored house given a sudden sweet breath of fresh air. An aromatic vanilla dusted with woods, it craves your own unique skin chemistry and/or beautiful furnishings of scent accords and new stories. #scentsky #perfumesky

No matter what happens, we are the United States 💜

#sotd @stoneandwit.bsky.social Fridays! #perfumesky #scentsky Candelere. This house knows how to make warm fragrances that reflect their flickering spirit. The beeswax kindles the flame of marigold and the fireweed is the sweet smell of the wick burning. No smoke just soft dry grass and wood. P1

#sotd #perfumesky #scentsky Ysatis! 1984 Parfum: 🛁 🫧 that open into a narcissus and tuberose bouquet and moss glistening in 🍯. Intoxicating warm wood drydown. Recent edt: 🧼 🫧 barely form before the bright citrus-tinged jasmine forward florals appear. Drydown is similar but less compelling.

#sotd a great find for under $18 at Ross today that took over MH Violet Ida on the wear test. Oscar de la Renta Alibi Eau Sensuelle. Velvety orange creamsicle swirled into a smoked sandalwood waffle cone. No sharpness, no astringent cleaning product. Just soft sweetness 🍊 #scentsky #perfumesky

#sotd #perfumesky #scentsky 🌿Pennyroyal Shire is a crisp breeze blown across a Spanish meadow. Herbal, green, and nutty. Scent Trunk does it again👍🏻 🤭Venice Rococo is the fever dream of a Renaissance socialite. I knew I'd love it, resisted this long, but alas it is meant to be 😻

#sotd Small Comforts from @stoneandwit.bsky.social. Very fruit-forward tamarind tea. Drips onto the skin with a hint of holiday spice. As it steeps ☕ it gets even more rich and layered as a thickly woven brocade with the musks. Delicious 🤤 #perfumesky #scentsky #fragrancesky

#sotd Thief and Witch @stoneandwit.bsky.social presents an unctuous apple cider bubbling and healing herbs twisted and dangling dry over the hearth. Beeswax candles melted to the wick and a burning love note held by fingers circled in woad. Inspired art✨ #perfumesky #nicheperfume #fragrancesky

#sotd Define Me Nearly Nude. You're wrapped in a fluffy bathrobe swaddled in the smell of a sudsy body scrub with bubbles still popping on your shoulders. The soapy accords give the scent a slick surfactant texture like you weren't able to wash out the shampoo. #perfumesky

#sotd Arquiste Tropical, nose Rodrigo Flores-Roux 🤍 🌺 👑. Cacophony of tropical scents competing for their solos against a background of what I'm convinced is perfume's white noise equivalent: ambroxide (unlisted but I'm sensitive to it). Pleasant to other noses but screechy to my own. #perfumesky

#sotd LMG Thè Matcha and J-Scent ほじち. Normally weak, together they found their strength 💪🏻. Sipping iced roasted green tea waking up to an autumnal Kyoto day surrounded by mountains and flower dotted graveyards stacked into the hills like bookends. Wish it lasted as long as that memory🍵 #perfumesky

#sotd MAB Aldebaran by Quintin Bisch. A dusty, biting Tuberose that conjured the image of neon green moon cheese at first sniff and that's not a bad thing. Settles into a silky floral with a metallic tang that gets noticed even with a dabber application. Nice but I have better Tuberoses #perfumesky

#sotd #perfumesky 09/24/2025: @stoneandwit.bsky.social has a magical touch with citrus and spice. The tangy burst of watermelon and lime tempered by spices lasted the whole day, flickering in and out like fireflies of a beloved summer memory. Even the apple was appropriately puckered. Brilliant.

#sotd 09/22-23:🕊️Zoologist Nightingale-citrus chypre and the magic hour arrives as the twilight tinged moss emerges between her wings in the drydown.🪻JM Mallow on the Moor-veils of purple draped over a sculpture made of orris butter. Skin scent in 3 hours but it's so nice I don't care. #perfumesky

#sotd The Different Company Kâshân Rose. Nothing candied about this lychee rose. The sage and cardamom work to provide a masculine stem that supports the blossom. She's strong in a pretty pink rose that has nothing to do with floral soaps until the disappointing predictable drydown. #perfumesky

#sotd Good Dearest Unhappy Heartbreak Silverado. The opening is quite deep, mandarin pith and spice with a grassy leather undertone. All notes that could go sweet stay aromatically bitter. The woody yet vegetal smells take on a life of their own. I haven't smelled anything like it🤯 #perfumesky

#sotd last 3 days: -Madame Rochas Edt is wearing someone else's sweater. Not me but nice🧶 -☁️LI Blanche Bête is too diaphanous to give coherence to my wear, but at least I could find the tuberose this time? -Guess Dare surprised me with citrus unrelated to🧴🧽 and soft florals🌺short lived #perfumesky

This episode always freaked me out. Now it's on replay...

#sotd Rhianna Reb'l Fleur. Anticipating sultry, but my skin pulls candy sweet. Superpower 🔓 🍭 🦸🏻🍬 You are slurping a fruit smoothie by the beach when a self assured comfortably confident woman trails her musk and for an instant you long to skip ahead and live a second of her life. #perfumesky

#sotd Kismet Olfactive The Poet. Clean and sweetly spicy. Balance of an inspired Ambroxan in the top that opens the grapefruit into more aromatic fruit rind rather than astringent cleaning product. The effect is fresh washed skin with pops of frankincense and woods. #fragrancesky #perfumesky #niche

#sotd Francesca Bianchi Sex and the Sea. This is a delicious soft gooey pineapple caramel drizzled on warm skin. The sweetness flickers like a candleflame so it never becomes cloying and the intimate sillage feels like a closely guarded secret 🤫 #perfumesky #frangrancesky #nicheperfume

#sotd for the last 1/2 of the week: 09/10: MH Hydra Figue - juicy salted fig fruit without the pickle🥒 09/11: OO Elektra - resinous, sharp spicy, woody fig🪵 09/12: MH Tender - red wine spilled into 19th century vanity dusting powder. Strangely addictive🍷 #perfumesky #fragrancesky #nicheperfume

#sotd BDK Pas ce Soir Extrait eau de Parfum. A pleasant peach perfume reminiscent of so many classic peachy goddesses like Tresòr, Casmir, Mitsouko, and even Fancy. She's pleasant like a stylish synthetic acrylic sweater, but I choose to indulge in the opulent cashmeres. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#sotd this layering combination of Miller Harris Mineir and Mabelle 'O Rama Lunar Dust. Mineir in summer is a little boggy (rather than the cool Dubh'lin [dark pool]). The powder of the iris provided a much needed diving weight. Kept me from drowning in the murky depths. 🤿 #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#sotd Boucheron Jaipur Bracelet. Citrus+lily of the valley with a touch of aromatic fizz from the basil and iris. The opening settles on the soft palate in pastel sweet tarts then quickly blossoms into a skin scent that reminds me of L'Instant without the honey. Not bad for $8 pen spray! #perfumesky

So glad to hear this. Working in healthcare while also struggling with my own autoimmune conditions, I rely on my vaccinations to keep myself and my patients healthy. Hopefully more states do follow suit, although with allegiances drawn in the sand, I'm cautiously optimistic.

#sotd Olympic Orchids Chevalier Vert, nose Dr. Ellen Covey. My next buy. The image of a vegetable and herb garden captured on the surface of a dew drop balancing on a violet leaf. It's all about balance here and it's effortless to my nose and skin. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#sotd MM From the Garden. Noses Sébastien Cresp and Olivier Cresp. Despite how fresh and seamlessly composed this scent is I kept getting wafts of something slightly turned like rotting fruit or fertilizer. It's truly all aspects of the garden and for that I commend its execution. #perfumesky

This tracks 🎶 After all, it wouldn't be a kitchen dance party without Lafayette 🥖 and Lo-la 👠 #musicals #youtubemusic #musicalsoundtracks #kitchendanceparty

#sotd @stoneandwit.bsky.social Frith. Sunny and very dry almost alcoholic berry fruit crushed between your fingertips. The cutting green bitterness softens to a cushion of vetiver and texture of a blueberry. Sillage is just for you to savor and enjoy the warmth of that summer day. #perfumesky

#sotd Pearfat Sister Hildegard. Opens with popped root beer bubbles, effervescent and almost tingling in my nose. The rest of the notes gradually reveal themselves as if Hildegard herself is unearthing them to present to you an ageworn wooden tray cradling her treasures. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#sotd Alkemia Breath and Shadow. Described as "An unearthly perfume of twilit chyprean musks and subtle exhalations of woodsmoke". This fluctuated from a rep at a candle store to a soothsayer standing above the ever burning flame. Perfect for a mercurial summer ween day. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#sotd Le Jardin Retrouvè Violette Kew. Creamy soothing lotion used in a spa. Or the soft petal of a violet under your finger tip. Another close sillage perfume that requires the whole dabber. Lost in the heat but in the AC, I could just feel the cucumbers on my eyelids. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#sotd Byredo Mojave Ghost 👻 Emptied the .75 ml dabber to finally appreciate this contemporary classic. Very violet forward opening and then...A holiday hiking in the desert hills in a cloud of bug spray and later swimming in a public pool and warm skin in the sun. Nice but not for me. #fragrancesky

#sotd Poesie Full Moon at the Temple. Tapestry of all of the notes listed, including a steamed rice and Shiso leaf accords that brought me right back to Japan. Unfortunately it never gains the strength it takes to fire the engines for a substantial scent journey. Just remains a purr. #perfumesky

#fragrancesky and #perfumesky peeps! I need help! Looking to sample a Francesca Bianchi and Papillon Artisan Perfumery from Scent Split. Some caveats: -1 of each (and Salome is sold out) -No grapefruit or cumin notes -Not afraid of animalics, but more sensual vs. barnyard 🙏🏻 For any guidance

#sotd Isabelle Larignon Mandi Rhubi. Electric Green Rhubarb snapped at their stalks. Bright, fresh, but like all of her other perfumes 2-3 hours of strong essence and gilding of the skin before it dives deep down to skin scent occasionally reminding you of its existence. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

Whoo hoo! Just got notice that my #aishify order has been shipped out! I've been holding off on completing my socials tag created by @brotherjr.bsky.social until I could experience their offerings first hand. One step closer to bringing some love to this minority girl boss brand. #niche #perfumesky

#sotd MH Lost in the City. Almost astringent rhubarb opens and stays puckered throughout the wear. Glad I revisited this one, but the black currant reads a bit stronger on my skin than I'd like. Came home and dressed down with ET White Diamonds. Give me all the forals🤍 🥰 #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#sotd Gucci Bloom Profumo Di Fiori. This was interesting 🤔 Sharp medicinal jasmine, sweet and camphorous, opens against the body and sweat of tuberose and woods. The ylang-ylang and orris wax a soapy texture and the result is a floral body wash sudsing the edges of a wooden bath brush #perfumesky

#sotd #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#perfumesky #fragrancesky Eshal, Neela *Vermeire* wear review.

#sotd for the last two days. Today, I take an olfactory rest day that just makes returning to a wear day all the more exciting😊 This post comes after the last 3 attempts to post before my app timer cut me off. Expect more of this flavor for my sanity. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

@stoneandwit.bsky.social is batting 1000 with my intimate sillage and aromatic sensibilities. Had to see what else they have up their sleeves 🪄✨ #perfumesky #fragrancesjy #nicheperfume #stoneandwit

#sotd Goldfield and Banks Pacific Rock Flower, nose Emilie Bouge and creator of MH frags of Mineir and Black Datura 🥰 Sitting by the sea, eating gummy sours and feeling a light sea salt breeze brush against your cheek. I can't explain it, but it was an immediate love 💕 #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#sotd Tokyomilk Everything and Nothing No 10, nose Margot Elena. Sparkling juicy citrus open dries to Skin scent at 6 hours reminiscent of dry tea leaves stored in a container that previously held oranges. Gentle and fleeting. Have a feeling it will do better when it's cooler. #fragrancesky

#sotd d'Annam Sakura Snow. Dry floral musk that reminds me of the powdery snow we get here in the interior west, at first swirling then settling in a light film more fragile than freezing fog on the branches. Sadly, it is very intimate in silage and short lived on my skin. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

#sotd Olympic Orchids Tropic of Capricorn, nose Dr. Ellen Covey. An indolic fruity floral that's been pulled from the forest floor by some canopy dweller and made a nest for all things natural that we as humans have forgotten the moment we stood to walk rather than climb. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

#sotd And Other stories Lost Chapter layered with YSL Libre Edt. I was running on low energy (thanks to a chronic symptom flare 😑) and the carrot added some sparkle to the lavender while the jasmine tea was given a bit more tannin weight by the black tea. Better than caffeine! #perfumesky
