Got the latest mystery sample box from TPG.







Testing 1 sample a day:

Yesterday sampled:

Yama Rouge: Orens

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

*This smells 100% like Delina.
I don't have problems wearing a women's fragrance if it smells unisex. Delina and this smells like a full feminine fragrance. Would not wear this.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Wega: In Astra

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

*Wore this today. I randomly picked this out the box and this also smells like Delina but more unisex. The cherry blossom definitely the strongest note. I wouldn't buy a full bottle but I would wear this if given to me.

SOTM - Bitter Peach / Wulong Cha X

3/3 on layers this past week. Another heavenly smell. Shyt is hella refreshing. Some commen threads in the opening(a) playing off each other wit the different orange & citrus notes, then nice lil contrast at the heart where da notes do a lil dance.

Someone gave me a sampler of a fragrance called DedCool xtra milk
Never heard of the brand or the scent but it's pretty good, I got multiple compliments the one time I wore it so far
Looked it up and it's about $35-90 from Sephora (that's where she got the sampler pack from)

Potna at Le Labo said that's his Daily burner when he's not working. That and Super Amber by Ellis Brooklyn.

Sounds pretty good

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

decant package today

Tom Ford Eau De Ombre Leather- smells like a more mass appealing Ombre Nomade, sweeter...but i prefer the regular Ombre Leather.

LV Lovers- I really like this one, won't ever get a full bottle because of the price but recommend getting your nose on this

Juanillo by Adamo Parfum is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Juanillo was launched in 2024.

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

*Tested this today.

I like this but what I smell and like don't match the notes nor what TPG review stated.


I don't get all of the fruit notes but to me that is pure soap with a hint of coconut. The ambroxan and musk run this. I definitely would buy a full bottle.

You can get a 11mL decant for $36. I grabbed it a few weeks ago and good god I forgot how amazing it smells.

Man they be killing this cat on reddit so much he loses his temper on his lives. It's quite hilarious how he tries to act like he's above it and then just starts ranting out of the blue about "haters".





Angry man and him politic'in

SOTD - Terre D'Hermes/Silver Mountain Water

Don't know how I feel about the former on it's own just yet so I cut it with the latter and enjoy it a lot more with the extra edge from SMW.
