Hello again!! Ahhhh, these are such good perfumes!! I'm a sucker for a good rose scent (they've been my favorite flower since I was a wee lass), so thank you for the rec! 

As for favorite scents, hmmmmmm...

I spent my senior year of high school wearing Burberry Brit Sheer and absolutely loved it! I sprayed that bad boy on till it ran dry and got a bunch of compliments bc of it XD 

I get headaches if my perfume is too strong and/or cloying, but this was not that so it passed with flying colors for me! It's very much a fond favorite of mine that remains pretty high up there on my ranking list years later. 

Banana Republic's Tuberose Overdose is my academic dinner scent! If I wanna smell like an alluringly attractive professor, that's my go-to pick XD

CK One Shock for Her is my party scent! I wore it for prom and it did things to my brain chemistry that have yet to reverse themselves, 5+ years later. If I'm wearing this, I know there's a dance floor involved at some point and I'm not leaving it. 

And omg perfume oils!! Swiss Arabian's Layali and Layali Rouge are absolutely lovely!! Both are very fruity-floral, but Rouge is a lot more fresh imo, whereas Layali feels more rich. Neither are what I'd describe as light scents (they do have oud after all lol), but I tend to use Rouge as a daytime scent and Layali as a more nocturnal one. 

As for nostalgic perfumes, I have two: Dior's J'adore perfume and violet body spray from TJ Maxx. I associate the first with my mom (she LOVES perfumes and this is a favorite of hers she wore a lot when I was really small). The second is ALSO connected to my mom, if only because she bought it for me as a gift when I was in middle school. It came in this tall classic body spray bottle (think clear plastic and cylindrical with a matching cap) and was the prettiest lavender hue. It smelled SO good and made me feel like a Fae child in the best of ways. 

I can't wait to try the perfumes you've mentioned!! Take care and have a lovely day/night!

i absolutely love that you have found a way to love different scents despite the headaches, but also, it is so funny to me that one of your scents of choice is tuberose overdose. that is like, the number one headache giver scent to lots of people, but i am personally also a fan of it. sooo many people complain that tuberose in general gives them headaches!!! I am a tuberose lover. actually, i’m so much of a tuberose lover that i’m a little weird about it. tuberose is a very love-it-or-hate-it scent, and there’s so many people who don’t like it, and i sincerely think that it says a lot about a person what they think about tuberose. i always know i’m not gonna gel with someone if they complain about not liking tuberose, especially if they say it’s “too feminine” or something, i don’t know. i don’t actually judge people by their opinions on tuberose, but i do know that historically, i have gotten along better with people who either really like tuberose, or can at least appreciate what it’s got going on. it has attitude.

i looked up all the scents you have listed in this comment on fragrantica so i could mentally picture them. there are some incredible notes in here. what fun taste you have! i also have a soft spot for dior j’adore, because i like to make pressed flower bookmarks and once bought little plastic flower preservers that were shaped like the dior j’adore bottle. I ended up with so many of them that they are all over my house.

always lovely to read your comments :) if you ever want to check out any new scents that are kind of affordable and simple and not too offensive, but still offer something a little bit different, i reccommend checking out jeanne en provence fragrances. i have un matin dans la roseraie, and it’s kind of a basic floral, but in my experience, the scents by this company are just really likeable and fun to explore!

Ooooh, that sounds absolutely lovely!!I'll be sure to check out jeanne en provence then! Sometimes I feel like a dragon with a hoard composed entirely of perfumes, but y'know what, that's the best kind of dragon to be 😤😎😂

Your pressed flower bookmarks sound beautiful...I want to try my hand at 'em now! XD


P.S. Funny you should say that about Tuberose Overdose bc the last time I wore it, it did give me a sliiight headache 😂 (Then again, I'm almost always "functioning" on a base level of slight-to-moderate sleep deprivation so it was probably that too tbh-)

I still wear it tho bc it just makes me feel way too gorgeous not to 😂
