[dear-ao3]

hey since yall are cologne experts (or one of u is idk) what cologne do you recommend to confuse ppl abt my gender

I need a scent that is feminine AND masculine all at once

aright so i am not a cologne expert whatsoever (not sure where you got that one from honestly) but i do happen to have a friend who works at a perfume store and when i asked her to weigh in her opinion on this she was absolutely delighted and wrote you all a novel on how to choose the right fragrance

(very fair warning, this is quite long)

Lessons in Fragrance (by Roza, Saph’s friend)

Buckle up buttercups because I’m about to learn you a thing or two about scent! I used to work at one of the largest “niche” perfumeries in the New England area so I’m like kinda qualified to give advice on fragrance I guess lol

1.scents will smell different on skin than on tester papers due to the fragrance interacting with your body chemistry so something you like on paper you might not like on your skin and vice versa! It’s always important to test on your skin before you buy, most websites that sell fragrance will sell a sample size for a few bucks or even a sample set for $20-$60 depending on how many samples and how high end the brand is! 

2. At the end of the day fragrance (how many times will I say this word probably at least 50) is gender neutral. Cologne versus perfume (or aux de parfum) just denotes how strong the scent will be and how long it will last. The order of weakest to strongest is: aux de toilette, room sprays, linen sprays Essential oil fragrances Cologne Perfume, aux de parfum 

3. there are many types of fragrances some examples of overarching categories are: gourmand: smells like food in some way Fougére: “traditionally masculine” Floral: predominantly flower notes Green: outdoorsy but more grassy and earth based Woodsy: outdoorsy but more tree and wood based Aquatic: notes that create scents reminiscent of bodies of water, ambergris is a common note Oriental: earthy, musky, and warmer notes usually having some sort of amber note Spicy: having heavy spice notes wheather it be peppery or your traditional baking spices These are just some of the most common categories of fragrance.

4. additional to categories, fragrance is further broken down into different sizes and different note tiers with each having its own wear time: you have your top notes, heart notes, and base notes. True to name top notes are the notes of scent you first smell. As the fragrance starts to settle the heart notes will become more prominent as the top notes fade. The base notes have the most longevity and will usually be the hints that you can smell even several hours later.

Sizes: tester sizes tend to be 2-5mL of product. The 4 most common denominations that fragrance come in are a 10-15mL (travel size), 30-35mL (smaller side but still decent amount), 50-60mL (pretty standard size and good amount), 100mL (“full size” and will last a hot sec) Based on personal experience: I’ve had a 30mL fragrance that I wear daily last for about 2 months, I have an 88mL that I wear about once a week that has lasted a year and a half (with 3/4 of a bottle still left), I have 10mL travel sizes that last about 2-3 weeks with daily wear, I have a 50mL that I wear weekly and on occasion use as a room spray too that’s lasted about a year (still have 1/4 bottle left). When talking about wearing the fragrance is talking about one spray per wrist, then tapping them together (NOT rubbing) to help distribute the scent. Sometimes I add an additional spray on my neck. There is never a reason to spray fragrance on your full body b/c it can then become to overwhelming and you’ll be a walking hazard to society (think a 12 yo boy with axe body spray). On occasion if you know it will be a sexy night a spray of fragrance on the ankle can go a long way especially if your legs will be hooked around someone’s head.

5. now without further ado below are Roza’s recs for gender confusing fragrances. I will include the name of the fragrence and line/company, some of the notes, and price point! disclaimer: I am only really familiar with niche fragrances not mainstream or “drugstore”, “department store”, “your typical designer” fragrances

The Recommendations:

My recs: I can’t grantee the spelling on all of these but c’est la vive, the listings are as follows: name of fragrance, line (if applicable), company, maybe a fun fact about the company or scent, description of notes and/or story of how to describe the scent, price point with size of bottle

supernatural #6: by Caswell Massey the oldest American perfume company, was a fragrance worn by George Washington, it is a very clean herbaceous scent (yk to cover up the stench of the unbathed in colonial times since the scent was created in 1772), it has main notes of bergamot (that earl grey tea kind of floral scent) rosemary, neroli, rose, clove and amber, very musky, $40 for a 7.5mL travel size or $225 for a 100mL, also comes in soap form.

Le castiglione, jovoy Paris, from Les cocottes de Paris, another one of my personal favorites that I wear quite often, has been described as smelling like Dracula’s mistress based on a rumor started in the early to mid 19th century surrounding a model who (was described as the world’s vainest woman) once she “got old” (all of 40) she would only leave her house at night and donning all black and the rumors flew leaving behind only whispers and whiffs of this scent as she would walk by, a fragrance that is both earthy and citrusy, with an almost apothecary feel to it that keeps you sniffing the sample trying to figure out what it reminds you of, notes of mugwort, citron, juniper, licorice, patchouli, grey amber, myrrh, and styrax, sample $3, 50mL 75€ ($80.85)

Late harvest, fort manle, the packing is really cool and the scents come in bottle that look like vintage ink bottle topped with an ornate golden cap that would work as a wax seal in a pinch, smells how I imagine an older bilbo baggins to smell like while relaxing in the shire smoking his pipe, notes of cherry pipe tobacco, vanilla, cedar wood, rosewood, leather, and rose, sample $10, 50mL $250, it’s pricy but the wear time is insane (I’ve tested it before and had it still smell fairly strong the next day even after showering)

Bojnokopff, fort manle, the story behind this is the famed Russian magician Bojnokopff (idk if he’s actually real tho lol) performing in 1897 St. Petersburg the closing act of his final show before retirement and to amaze the masses he disappears into a cloud of purple haze leaving behind only whiffs of lavender, oud, and chocolate this is a very dark and punchy scent (I find that people either love it or hate it with no inbetween), notes of French lavender, vanilla, dark chocolate, oud, and cedar wood, sample $10, 50mL $250 there is also a discovery set of the entire fort manle line that is $70 for a sample size of 7/8 of their fragrances

Terra Mia, carthusia, smells like a coffee shop right before open there are notes of citrus roasted nuts and coffee in the air along with the smell of light florals that grace each seating area, notes of bergamot, neroli, pink peppercorn, rose, jasmine, orange blossom, Arabic coffee, hazelnut cream, amber woods, vanilla, ambroxan, and white musk, same pricing as uomo

Mediterrano, carthusia, a bright and sunny fragrance with notes of green tea, notes of wild mint, lemon, eucalyptus, litsea cubeba, red thyme, bergamot, jasmine, cardamom, flowers of the fields, tangerine, green tea, and white musk, same pricing as terra Mia and uomo

Broken Theories, Kerosene, the packaging is cool seeing as it is a nod to the city the fragrance is created in (Detroit) each bottle is painted in motorcycle paint and the metal label is hand stamped, it smells like a fire pit while drinking a spiced mimosa, notes of blood orange, tobacco, spices, vanilla, sandalwood, our, and incense, it’s a heavy but not overwhelming scent that covers you like a blanket and can last several hours without needing to reapply, 100mL $152

Meltdown, elder & willow, these last two are roll on essential oil fragrances that are very budget friendly, this one is meant to calm anxiety and help with grounding, bites of lavender, lemon, ylang ylang, bergamot, rose geranium, vetiver, Roman chamomile, benzoin essential oils, and scent is all in a coconut oil as the carrier, $12 per 10mL roll on

Sweet dreams, elder & willow, meant to promote sleep, notes if lavender, vetiver, Roman chamomile, cedar wood, benzoin essential oils, scent is in coconut oil as the carrier, $12 per 10mL roll on, I love elder and willow they also have teas, bath soaks, and skincare products

And thus concludes fragrance lessons/recs with Roza! I hope this was more informative and less of a fever dream than perfume ads on screen that don’t actually tell you anything about the fucking fragrance and just go off of vibes and celebrity presence!!

[blackandwhlteaesthetlc]

Just adding my 2 cents to the perfume price discussion:

There are multiple factors to deciding the price of a perfume, such as the size of the bottle + whether it’s an eau de toilette (EDT, less perfume composition) or an eau de parfum (EDP, more perfume composition) + what the identity of the perfume house is (designer, celebrity release, private collection, or niche).

If it’s a 100ml bottle (which is what it looks like) and an eau de parfum, it’s within the price range of a mid-range niche perfume house, which is what Pleasing seems to be going for.

Celebrity releases and designer perfumes can range anywhere from $70 - $150 for an eau de toilette (EDT) and $200+ for an eau de parfum (EDP), while better known niche perfume houses (like Byredo and Le Labo) are hardly ever lower than $200 for an EDP of that size.

For comparison, a 75ml Diptyque EDP is $220; a 100ml Etat Libre d’Oranger EDP is $135; a 100ml Jo Malone (Cologne, so even less than an EDT) is $135.

I think people were classifying this perfume as a celebrity release, and therefore expecting it to be around the same price as Cloud by Ariana Grande or Gucci Memoire, but the brand identity of Pleasing is that it’s a beauty brand apart from Harry, so this pricing, while expensive, is actually consistent with the market.

Thank you, anon! I always love when the fandom can come through with some additional insight like this. 🤓Your info makes total sense to me, especially as someone who has their own perfume collection that ranges in prices like what you listed above.

[feytouched]

hii my mutual bies recommended you to me as someone who knows a lot about perfumes :3 i would ask you to suggest something based on my vibes but as we aren't mutuals i will vaguely ask if you could please recommend me a scent suitable for an elegant femme fatale? 😔 i know it doesn't narrow it down but admittedly i don't know enough about scents to ask for something more specific except that i can say i don't like citrus-y notes and perfumes that are too heavy

thank you if you got this far 😭 and love your blog theme by the way :3

hi!! any friend of bies is a friend of mine, so i hope i can help!

when people say they don't like heavy perfumes, they usually mean one of two things (or both at once): perfumes that are strong in terms of sillage and staying power and that can be overpowering and headache-y for those of us who are more scent-sensitive, or perfumes that smell cloying or old-fashioned, which is far more subjective.

since i don't know any more specifics (feel free to send a follow-up ask if you'd like!), i'll go off of what bies suggested as well as what you said and give you a few suggestions to look into, hopefully covering different approaches:

athalia by parfums de marly: powdery, incense-y scent with a somber yet graceful iris at its heart. this is the first thing that came to mind when thinking of the archetypal vintage femme fatale; it has orange in the top notes, but it's worth sampling imo.

moscow by bpal: one of my favourite lily of the valley fragrances. smells like a rich woman that wears expensive soap like it's perfume, walking down the street on a sunny yet cold day with a lavish bouquet in her arms.

carmen 7 by alkemia: a more sensuous and gourmand scent, loads of pear, praline, lychee, jasmine and gardenia.

datura noir by serge lutens: less intense than the name suggests, but still very elegant. creamy lactonic tuberose, heliotrope, hints of coconut and bitter almonds.

peony couture by vilhelm parfumerie: goes onto the skin with the smoothness and precision of a vintage dior satin dress. peony and rose with a gorgeous woody incense base.

l'ombre dans l'eau by diptyque: a modernist take on a rose fragrance; green, a little bit bitter, dense with foliage, but the rose underneath is realistic and stunning. a bit of a different, fresher approach that conveys both elegance and thorns.

i have longer reviews of all of these on my blog; since i focus on niche and luxury perfumes, i would highly recommend ordering samples to try before you commit to a full bottle, especially if you're not sure what you like yet. best of luck, and please do report back if you find something you enjoy!

La ladra di profumi - recensione

“Il profumo è il veleno del cuore”, la famosa frase dello scrittore e filosofo Paul Valéry per il lancio del profumo Poison di Christian Dior, si adatta molto bene a questo libro.

What the adult trio smells like / which fragrances they use…

Hey Folks,

since I´m the biggest perfume-hoarder I know of, it was just a matter of time when the question „What do Hisoka, Illumi and Chrollo actually smell like?“ crosses my mind. The day night has finally come, so here is my headcanon…

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

❈ Hisoka Morow:

As for Hisoka, the answer was clear to me right from the start: „Lost Cherry“ by Tom Ford. It just has to be! And here is why: "Lost Cherry“ is a fruity-sweetish scent, but not a childish cheap one. In my opinion this perfume is best described as a boozy-almondy amaretto cherry. It is strong, sexy, bold, extremely seductive and intoxicating and therefore it can be even a bit annoying from time to time - just like our beloved jester. Even though „Lost Cherry“ is labeled by the brand as unisex, I find it quite feminine, but I´m sure, Hisoka wouldn´t mind. The fragrance is very unique and I´ve actually never smelled it on anybody else before … and it´s expensive… something tells me, that Hisoka would never smell like something mainstream and will always go with some kind of niche fragrance. Also I´m pretty sure that this man has quite an expensive taste. Tom Ford itself is a bold and luxury brand which also suits him very well. Not to forget that "Lost Cherry" means something on the lines of "lost innocence/virginity" which makes this fragrance a match made in heaven for a horny clown person.

❈ Chrollo Lucilfer:

Chrollo may have a fable for the gloomy and occult and we all know that he can be extremely cruel, but when it comes to the troupe members there´s no doubt regarding his loyalty. Therefore I can sense some kind of warmth that he carries deep down in his dark soul. For him I would suggest „Herod“ by Parfums de Marly. A woody, slightly sweetish and spicy scent with some smokey chords which make it cozy, sexy and mysterious alike. But buckle up, Ladys and Gentlement, just like „Lost Cherry“, this fragrance is a panty-dropper. Thats for sure!

❈ Illumi Zoldyck:

Illumi keeps me guessing tbh. I can imagine two completely different scents for him. Either, I see him wearing a very very heavy, somber and classic fragrance, such as Memoir Man by Amouage or - since he's an assassin and frequently needs to stay unnoticed on his missions - he would prefer a much more lighter, barely perceptible and synthetic scent, perhaps with a clean and even slightly medicinal note. In this case, I immediately had to think of all kinds of molecule-fragrances, since they are somehow present but not at all tangible. With such a scent, Illumi would be able to sneak up not only against the wind, but also with it. Therefore I would suggest a woody-synthetic-molecule for him, just like ISO-E-Super or Ambroxan.

hello! I'm running off to paris for a week and was wondering if you had any particularly lovely places you'd recommend spending an afternoon in, since you had such nice posts about traveling there. I'll definitely visit the musee cluny and carnavalet if possible, and I also like perfumes but cannot remember the name of a particular store people talked about on forums....like years ago >u>

Ooh I’m sure you’ll have fun! Thanks for asking - here’s some places I like to take a look at, all very central. (Answering on the blog in case anyone else want to chip in with more suggestions?)

Museums:

-Musée Congnac-Jay: a sweet little mini museum of mostly 18th century things, and can have some interesting temporary exhibits. Some real gems in a lovely building. Round the corner from the Carnavalet.

-Musée de la Chase et de Nature: bit of an odd one, as it’s technically ’Hunting and Nature’, but it’s set up as a little kunstkammer type mixed bag of contemporary installations (around their base collection of animal-themed artistic objects). Contains taxidermy.

-Place des Vosges: idk, it’s pretty, it’s old, if I was a musketeer I’d hang out here. Fancy square, has trees, has food, has a Victor Hugo museum I think?

Perfume:

-the best place for a wide range of niche brands all together is Jovoy, which is near the Place Vendome bc of course it is. The store is a bit dark and a bit quiet, making it the opposite of department store browsing, but the SA’s are friendly if you tell them what you like.

-Others: the little old 34 St Germain flagship of Diptyque is always fun, it’s just pretty with its wood panelling and whatnot. The various standalone boutiques for L’Artisan Parfumeur, and Parfums de Nicolaï can be nice to pop into.

#paris #i’d usually also say the musee jacquemart-andre but it appears to be in renovations until next year :-( #i also like fabric shopping around the edge of montmartre in like coupons st pierre and environs #but like that’s if you want fabric so YMMV! #anyway have fun! #text post shenanigans
