(Reviewing the mist released as part of the "mist exploration" mini mist set for 2022.) Despite no honeydew melon being listed, that is exactly what this smells like - watery honeydew melon. After a few minutes it begins to dry down into a nondistinct floral mix and a slight sugary musk, but the entire fragrance disapp...
Read review →To me this smelled exactly like a tall glass of orange-flavored Fanta soda - sparkling, bright, strong artificial orange that is reminiscent of popsicles and fruity drinks on summer days. I would have loved to buy this, especially because the packaging is so cute - but unfortunately, it didn't even last 15 minutes on m...
Read review →This is a juicy, watery pear + candied/fruity violet. So bright and cheery! Strong, projects like a beast for such a cheapie - has the potential to choke you out if overspraying (the sharpness of the violet mixed with pear), so a light hand is needed. I've seen this compared to You Eau de Parfum , but Glossier You smel...
Read review →OPENING: powdery, candied rose - very pretty, fresh, feminine, clean MIDDLE: very strong jasmine (not listed, but it smelled so distinctive!) mixed with lily of the valley DRY-DOWN: indistinct white-floral hairspray, with hint of rose The opening lasted only a few moments, middle felt too "screechy" (this part of the f...
Read review →I've loved Taylor and her music from when she first started until now. But I somehow never smelled her perfumes when they came out. After finding a sample of this recently, I was STUNNED by how gorgeous it is. It's simple, but so refreshing: the tea note is perfectly balanced with the raspberry, and there's a subtle hi...
Read review →There was a Disney Aurora/Sleeping Beauty doll in the 90's that came with a small perfume bottle + a funnel (it had an opening in her back/neck, for you to funnel perfume into it). The perfume was powder, sweet jasmine, and a slight hint of plastic (from the doll) - and Jasmine Macarons smells very similar to that. It'...

Read review →Equal parts: 1) cool but bright bergamot 2) sweet, musky cedar It feels earthy, masculine-leaning (but still unisex), refreshing, but intimate and warm all at the same time. The imagery that pops into my head is a cool fall day in a forest, with sun starting to peek out from the overcast clouds after a refreshing drizz...
Read review →It starts out with a realistic clementine (the rind and the juice), but the citrus fades quickly and moves into the bulk of the fragrance: woody, earthy, herbal, vetiver-heavy. Very masculine-leaning. The combination actually smells a bit like an expired aftershave cream, or almost like stale breath... so this one is a...
Read review →This has an earthy, green, herbal quality that reminds me somewhat of the original Calyx (2014) . I picture sitting in the cool shade on a hot summer day, eating a refreshing salad with all sorts of greens and a creamy dressing on top. The dry down is a softer version of the herbal opening and the creamy, clean musk ta...
