Rec | MY YEAR ROUND SCENT IS POSSETS PERFUME ODE TO APHRODITE

💐

Rec'd on 💐 whats your signature scent?

my year round scent is possets perfume ode to aphrodite

niche, indie perfume house with an array of cool scents. ode to aphrodite is like musky but soapy but floral but sweet <3 in the summer sometimes i will wear silver narcissus by them, which is a bit of a sweet, slightly incense-y floral. in the spring i will also sometimes wear masque milano’s lost alice, which is like peppery and lactonic tea party notes. fall and winter i sometimes wear possets perfume’s passion, which is chocolatey. my go to lotion is palmers cocoa butter and i think it layers nicely with all these scents ☺possets is a great brand cost wise bc perfume oils last longer in my opinion and a little goes a long way <3

posset’s perfume

i love them so much and get almost all my scents from them. they have such a wide array of unique perfume oils, often historically and/or artistically inspired. they’ve got everything from gourmands to sensual to incensey and magical etc…cost effective in the sense that their smaller vials don't break the bank and last months. their biggest size runs about $90, but i think that’s more than worth it considering how long they last. a little goes a long way. not only does it take me forever to finish a bottle, but the scent lingers and projects very well! they’re also fairly generous with the samples (which i often enjoy and also last pretty long considering their size)

spring/summer scents

I work at Nordstrom so it’s hard to choose considering I‘m trying different stuff all the time but here are a few bottles I always go back to, especially great for spring/summer: Jo Malone - Orange Blossom $72 1oz Honey… this is soooo… this is so beautiful it makes me feel both so mature and darling. Punching, nearly pure clementine flower, softened by honeysuckle and white lilac, slightly woody and powdery. Elegant. Couldn’t name a more perfect spring scent. Simple so effective. ^ Mixes beautifully with Matcha Meditation from Maison Margiela’s Replica line Gier Ness - Laila $68 1.7oz “The essence of Norway” It sure is. Apparently there is a weird Disney affiliation but please don’t let that deter you this is one of the prettiest scents I’ve ever sniffed it smells like crisp, clean spring air. Not in an overly floral way either. Very natural. Effortless. Charming. impressive lasting power. I get SO many compliments on this one. Chanel - Paris - Édimbourg $113 1.7oz No no no trust me. This is nothing like the others. Inspired by the Scottish Highlands, it’s woody, earthy, mossy, fresh with spice. It’s like everything that is currently on trend in fragrance but through a super classy, traditional sort of …old money… lens. Trust. ^Mixes beautifully with You by Glossier Might be worth adding that as curious and adventurous as I am with trying new scents, I also very easily develop migraines and tummy aches from many of them. These are all tried and true safe options for sensitive girls like me.

Lust by lush

my favourite perfume - Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Rose, Sandalwood. I love Jasmine and Rose so much, and I love how Jasmine can smell kind of gross. This perfume smells really different on different people and I always inexplicably think it smells like paper on me and I smell like an old library that someones left old flowers a bit too long in in a good way. It’s the perfume my bf thinks now smells of me. It’s affordable! But it stains my skin and any light clothing red/orange so I have to be careful with it. I also wear: M&S warm neroli - casual daytime. Neroli, bergamot, musk. Feels quite meditative. Blue and Shay Atropa Belladonna or Black Tulip - Both heady florals. The belladonna is sweeter than I’d buy myself but it was a gift and I wear it occasionally. The black tulip to me smells again like old flowers (although others have said it smells fresh so maybe I’m just weird). I generally prefer to smell a bit old and rotten than fresh and bright. i recently discovered Cherry Smoke by Tom Ford and I’ve fallen in love. I’ve been wearing it as my nighttime scent. Cherry, smoked wood, apricot, leather, olive. It’s sweet but smokey like a Manhattan. it’s sexy as FUCK. But I absolutely cannot afford it once this tester runs out so it’s a flash in the pan love affair. In terms of other scents - my laundry is always lavender cause wool moths don’t like it, and I usually always buy rose or jasmine scented body wash, but atm it’s a huge bar of pomegranate soap that caskeyc got me for Christmas, and I like to burn sandalwood or jasmine in my room.
