okay claps hands together

frag post time <3 as i always say with my longer frag posts, there is absolutely no need to read or interact (but you can ofc hehe). i usually just post these to document my thoughts bc i personally go through my frag tag very often.

i’m just sharing the two current fragrances at the top of my wishlist. i’m really going to try add these to my collection as the weather gets cooler 🍃

i want this one because i’ve literally never smelt anything like it. i love my drinks and cocktails and this smells just like that! minus the pungent alcohol scent ofc. i personally really love cucumbers in my cocktails so it reminds me so much of my favourite drinks. some of the best cocktails i’ve ever had was in new york and at an underground jazz bar somewhere in my city. both of which had cucumbers in them so - yeah! i was sold.

here’s what solidified it for me though. so it’s called ‘roses on ice’ right? it actually smells cold. it actually smells like a cool drink. it actually smells like if you were to sniff ice. the cooling effect is just so lmao… cool to me. this scent embodies someone drenched in diamonds or swarovski crystals. “icy” to the fullest sense. it’s a fresh and aquatic scent so i feel like even a non-alcohol consumer would enjoy it because it’s not too boozy. it’s also a masculine rose fragrance which is nifty :] you don’t come by those a lot!

also for diluc lovers, this liquor collection also has a scent called ‘angel’s share’ mwah 💋 i might dive into that one more when i assign fragrances to genshin characters.

OKAY NEXT ONE AND THIS ONE WILL BE A BLIND PURCHASE. i follow a frag poster and i’ve seen her talking about this for months. i think she’s really cool and i love her aesthetics so me being all starry eyed, i have put my complete trust in her taste. i might find a sample to purchase before i do a full purchase bc… erm this is quiet pricey and i’m not made of money unfortunately.

but yeah, i mean the name already sounds interesting to me. divine perversion? GIVE IT TO ME NOW. sprays all of you with it since you are all perverts /aff

i’m a whore for leathery and peppery notes. i saw someone describe it as ‘like a woman who knows her worth just entered the room’. i feel like the sweeter notes will make it smell a little naughty, a little playful. it’s very much unusual and bdsm vibes. i heard that this isn’t the most daring scent from francesca’s bianchi’s creations. it’s more mass pleasing so it’ll be a good first to jump into. not that i can’t handle unusual or strong scents but i’d rather know i’m likely to not regret this blind purchase. it is a ‘well-behaved kink’ if you will.

I'm one of those weirdos that want to know what fragrance characters are wearing or would hypothetically be using... Where are all the "what does [insert star trek character] smell like?" posts at...

"In Wolf Hall, Henry VIII’s perfume is defiant and brash: “He moves in a perfumed cloud made of the essences of roses; as if he owns all the roses, owns all the summer nights” (81). This is Henry as deus ex machina, a perfumed deity descending from the heavens in a cloud, owning and desiring all that is beautiful, fresh, and vibrant. His new mistress Anne Boleyn’s skin is described as “faintly perfumed: amber, rose” (273) and when she stretches her arms “she smells of green leaves and lavender” (293); her aromas already complement Henry’s own rose perfumes, and she is as fresh as all the summer nights."

Serious question for the hardcore perfume enthusiasts and casual perfume wearers- which fragrance brings you the most joy? Something that says "no bad thing has ever happened to me and oh- look how beautiful the sky is!"

Britney Spears Fragrances: The Collection

[fingertipsmp3]

Genuine question. What do I do if I like basically every single perfume sample in a set I got

[katebvsh]

ARTICHOKE

[baravaggio]

not to do a 180 turn away from jo malone...but I found out the other day that marlou, a french house that makes perfumes featuring animalic and body scent notes, has a very inexpensive discovery set available on their site! it's out of stock but available for preorder rn, so of course I had to buy 🐻 most excited to try this one…I’ll keep you guys posted 🤭

[dufrau]

perfume is so wild. i got a sample set from a house id never heard of just for fun and im testing one of them out today, and in the bottle it looked black but when you spray it on your skin it's a sickly green color that will ABSOLUTELY stain your clothes and in addition to that it is extremely sticky??? and it smells basically like turpentine or like varnish or something. like i think this is just tree sap with food coloring in it 😂 and they are charging $250 for 30ml of it!

its completely unwearable obviously and ludicrously overpriced but like, i actually dont mind the smell of turpentine so to me its honestly not the worst perfume ive ever smelled lol. but christ on a cracker who is this for???

[vagueconfusion]

I was curious what the official description was and it sure was something

[leatherbookmark]

I was having Fic Thoughts again, so I checked the S Cawaii! Men special Ateez issue, and omfg

Q14. Your favourite scent?

HJ: Musky notes

SH: The smell of skin

YH: Freshly washed sheets (he doesn't really use perfume)

YS: Tom Ford's Oakwood (LOL) (Oud Wood probably?)

S: inconclusive. on one hand, he says "mild, gentle scents", on the other, "scents that turn people's heads" www in my experience these two are opposites!

MG: fresh scents

WY: He's a woody fragrance guy, so he likes Diptyque. (At the time of the interview) he's wearing Tam Dao. His "main" fragrance is a mix of Diptyque's Eau Capitale and Tam Dao. His most favourite is Fleur de Peau which has a ricey scent to him, and he plans to use it until he dies provided it doesn't get discontinued. Tom Ford is another brand he likes, but again, for a woody scent enthusiast like him, Diptyque is #1. (LOL)

JH: fresh scents as well

I'm obsessed with perfumes, and I'm obsessed with picking signature fragrances for characters I write. Crowley, though, is making me break my head open.
