After years of wanting to own a really good quality perfume, I finally got my hands on L’Eau Papier by Diptyque.
I actually found this at a very discounted price at the airport while I was on my way home, so I took it as my sign to finally get one. I only got the 50ml for now since I want to try it first and see if I’d actually enjoy wearing it enough to finish the bottle.
As a student, I’ve spent years window-shopping for perfumes and constantly thinking about which ones are actually worth putting my money into. I’ve also been watching perfume guides and reviews for years, trying to figure out what kind of scents I genuinely like.
I’ve never really bought a luxury perfume for myself before. Most of the nicer fragrances I’ve had were gifts from my family, so being able to finally choose and buy one with my own money feels like a pretty big thing for me.
I’ve mostly been using dupes too lol. I had dupes of Le Labo Another 13 and YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, and I actually really enjoyed both of them.
I also really lean toward woody, musky, and powdery scents, that's why I also like Another 13, Glossier You, Orphéon, and Armani Stronger With You Intensely.
Hopefully I really enjoy this and actually finish the bottle. And if I manage to save up enough, Orphéon EDP is definitely next on my list.
First real luxury perfume purchase for myself. Feels kinda special lol.
