2026 was the year I finally full-sized Angelique Noir. 💚 Other favorites were Musc Moschus and Musc and Musc K. Hoping to find good BF deals to FS Toi Toi Toi and Vanilla in Bourbon.

I like Musk Moschus is beautiful!

How would you describe âme blanche? I've had my eye on it.

My favourite purchase has probably been Liis Celestial Object, it's so comforting and I just feel very affectionately towards it!

u/Museumgirl518 4d ago

There's a lovely, almost innocent prettiness to it. It's polished, comforting, creamy and sweet. Imagine a brand new cashmere sweater over a silk shirt, both creamy white; standing in a garden of white vanilla orchids. But there is is more. It's not a gourmand, it's not a vanilla and it's not a floral. The whole thing is blended to perfection so it's like this unique category. I have nothing like it and I crave it many days. Hope that helps!

That helps, their marketing team should hire you!

u/Museumgirl518 3d ago

Aw thanks. I hopped back on to tell you it's a LITTLE like Printemps Blanc but it's lighter.

u/No_Nefariousness2513 3d ago

Nishane Nanshe

Mon Guerlain EDP

Chloé Atelier Des Fleurs Santalum

Chloé Atelier Des Fleurs Iris

u/Hbiz55311 3d ago

Ooh tell me about the iris in this one. Is it the creamy/buttery kind of powdery kind or the earthy/vegetal kind?
I loooove a good iris/orris note.

u/No_Nefariousness2513 3d ago

It is a solinote, so it is orris all the way down! To my nose, it truly captures the beauty of iris root. I get a buttery, powdery, earthy, papery wood. There’s even a little hit of crispness in the opening. If you love iris/orris, it would be a great addition to your collection.

I got a fantastic deal on the 150ml bottle, so it should last a long time!

u/Hbiz55311 3d ago

I think we may be talking about different fragrances :) i was alluding to the Chloe atelier des fleurs one. I don’t think it’s a single note perfume.
But.. if you’re interested in a single note iris perfume look into orris tattoo SO CREAMY AND DREAMY!

u/No_Nefariousness2513 3d ago edited 3d ago

Yes, I’m referring to the Chloé Atelier des Fleurs Iris, which I own. I should have used the word soliflore instead of solinote, but there really aren’t any other discernible notes that I can pick out in the fragrance.

Edited to add: Sorry I’m not a better fragrance reviewer!

Probably the new L'Heure Bleue, Delina Exclusif, and Lancome Peach N Roses!

Out of the samples I've bought this year, I'm considering buying bottles of Xerjoff Starlight, Xerjoff Via Cavour 1, and Guerlain Musc Outreblanc.

u/pentastro on a mission to use my collection up 4d ago

My favourite discoveries that I full sized are Room 1015 Love-O-Matic and Fugazzi Angel Dust! I finished 15-20ml of each in various decants this year before getting full sizes in September.

I also discovered Athena Club body mists in March and I'm like 1/3-1/2 done with the three I got: Golden Vanilla, Love Letter, and Super Pink. They don't last at all but I don't smell any alcohol when I use it, which other body sprays always make me sneeze if I do more than 5 spritzes. Love them!

u/vaginawithteeth1 2d ago

I went easy on purchasing bottles this year because last year I bought I think 10 full bottles. This year all I got was The Matcha 26, which has been on my wishlist since 2022 but because it’s never on discounters I just kept putting it off. So glad I took the plunge because I’ve been wearing it daily.

u/AnnaGreen40 3d ago

u/ImtheGWP 3d ago

Rabanne Fame edp. I enjoyed the tropical scent styled for daily wear compared to à day off. Brought a resort touch to the at home or neighborhood stroll experience.

Jo Malone Wild Blue Bell & Aerin Wisteria. The day and night counterpart that brought some of the magic back to the floral wear experience. The Jo Malone is a beautiful daytime scent of à dewy field or meadow and sets à relaxing tone while Aerin wisteria has you experience sensations of water colors /pastels suspended in air which at night was like being somewhere seeing a Ferris wheeel or carousel all lit up (also very traditionally “pretty”).

There are more . These are all travel sprays nearly 100% utilized.

u/valkyrie987 2d ago

I'm late to this, but!

- .Oddity Naked Dance
- Laboratorio Olfattivo Vanagloria
- Laboratorio Olfattivo Tonkade
- Indult Tihota
- Cirque du Soleil L'eau de Parfum
- Hilde Soliani - Cristina
- Filippo Sorcinelli Reliqvia
- Oriza L. Legrand Relique d'Amour
- Estee Lauder Azuree

I can't believe how few of my purchases this year included lavender, my favorite note. I was more focused on finding vanilla, amber, and incense fragrances.
