Musc Pallas: Jovoy Paris

------------------------------------

*Tested this today. This is a sweet skin scent fragrance. I can't even name what it is that I smell. I don't smell the notes listed and that molecular note, I have no clue what it smells like.

I'm subscribed to Steve, but most of the time I don't watch his videos...

This looks interesting though



They also make it in a "solid" form. I've never heard ANYTHING good about solid fragrances

I have a Caribbean vacation coming soon.

Which fragrances would you guys wear for this trip?
It would help if I posted a list of my summer scents but I'm feeling lazy. Maybe I'll do that later.

So I'm going with

Sedley - Parfums de Marly - easy wear for the flight.
Pacific Rock Moss - Goldfield & Banks - daytime wear.
Bohemian Lime - Goldfield & Banks - will probably wear this the most
Isola Blu - Roja Parfums - I might try this on at night for a nicer evening at the bar or restaurant

All decants.

I have other things but they're bottles that are too large to travel with, or they're under the limit but I'm nervous TSA will give me a hard time and I won't risk losing a pricey bottle.

This was a poor planning because I could have gotten a lot of inexpensive decants of summer fragrances (somehow I still never sampled any Acqua di Parma) and I suspect one of those would have been an easy grab. I do have a 1ml sample of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau Intense but it doesn't have a spray nozzle and using a dabber is messy and annoying. I haven't even worn the sample because not having the spray irritates me.

SOTDs
1) PDM - Althair - meh - went from top 10, to not mentioned at all. Hype is gone. One of the minority PDMs I have in a dabber, damn near spilt all of it. *shrugs*. Will not be replaced

2) Mes Bisous - Tobacco flirting with Vanilla - it's in the name, mostly a Vanilla scent

Sometimes I think the tobacco + vanilla thing with fragrances is getting boring. Very few pull it off well.

It's like how everyone combined rose + oud.

We get it, man.
Do something else.

If I'm hating tho, I'll fall back. I'm usually wrong about things here.

Fire At Will: Jovoy Paris

--------------------------------------------------------------------


*Tested this yesterday. This smells like caramel. Nothing special. I got caramel fragrances that I paid less than $60 that are better. I think if they didn't add the brown sugar note then it might have been a more memorable vanilla fragrance.

Remember Me: Jovoy Paris

-------------------------------------------------------------

*Wore this today. I like this 1. I smell almost all the notes. The cardamon and tea was the strongest.

The dry down is a milky vanilla. This kinda strong.

DUA - Mango Flesh

Mango Flesh

Inspiration: Mango Skin by Vilhelm Parfumerie Mango is a common ingredient in the kitchen but a fairly uncommon ingredient in perfumery. This comes to our surprise as the succulent ingredient is multifaceted with tones that range from sweet to tart and even green. However, there is one perfume...

Smells like a perfumer's idea of mango, but different than say "mango soda".

Pretty good, very sweet.

The age old question, Niche or Designer?

I like the fact he gave his impression of the notes, AND NONE OF THEM MATCH!

I still need to get my nose on a few of them, Triumph of Bacchus. That and God of Fire by Stephane Humbert Lucas
