@ Vineland premium outlet mall. I just found out so figured I share it. I guess it’s closer to Kissimmee than orlando but nice to have a full store somewhat closer to me.
Yes, I tucked my Bostons under my shirt and walked barefoot across the parking lot. My feet will dry faster than my Birks 😆.. the things I do to protect my babies.
I’m personally gonna sample 1st then wait for discounters. I have decisions & overture (man). Definitely wanna get my nose on them.
My 2nd pair & damn they comfy. Love them or hate them, all that matters is that I like them.
Here’s mine.
Quartana- Forrest of the golden dream.
Sospiro- Vibrato.
It’s a mix of pine-forresty, woodsy, amber with that grapefruit/ ginger mix.
I sprayed Vibrato on my shirt on the day & later on I sprayed Quartana on my arm, & bam! The magic was born. Ever since then, it’s been my top go-to layer combo. On me, this combo just blends beautifully & both have amazing longevity, so I’m smelling it all day.
Sneaker of the day: Paisley’s.
I’ve watched all 3 of the back to the future movies several times. As a kid in the 80’s & 90’s, this movie was a repeat rental at blockbuster in my house.
My newest addition. Great scent. I little softer than the OG number 4, but perfect for everyday wear. Don’t let the “sport” fool you, as I was, thinking it would be more aquatic. It has this softer, almost sweet, milky feel and just enough of a difference from no 4 Apres l’Amour to own both.
Longevity it’s about 6-7 hrs & longer if sprayed on clothes.
There isn’t much I can say about Philosykos that hasn’t already been mentioned a million times on here. It is amazing. I love these scent profiles. Fresh, soft, green scents are my jam.
Ormonde Jayne Verano is that sweet/ spicy tobacco note similar to montabaco Intensivo just turned down a bit. Feels a little softer & a slight difference in scent (grapefruit vs the orange oil in Montabaco intensivo 🤷). It’s great, but if you own MTI I feel like Verano is too close to justify owning both. Luckily I got both on discounts & will happily wear each.
I’m horrible at breaking down notes. If it smells good, I like it. If it doesn’t, I dont like it. I’m a simple person.
I like keeping most of them. Idk why but some of the presentations are just too nice for me to toss out. If I ever decide to part ways with any, I feel like it’s a nice touch for the next person to enjoy the whole package also.
KITH x Birkenstock braided Bostons. My Mocha pair has been my 2nd most worn pair (1st are oiled habana Bostons). The quality is really good, so when these were announced, I had to get them. They were “made-to-order” w/ a 6 month wait, but still had to have them. That blue really pops & it’s a totally out there color compared to the rest of my Birk. Collection.
After 6.5 months, they’ve finally arrived! I got the mocha pair & wear the hell outta them.
This my 1st Kerosene perfume & y’all weren’t wrong saying it smells like fresh grapefruit. I have a grapefruit tree in my backyard this totally reminds me of cutting one open. Now I need to try some more from this house.
Amouage Enclave is one I’ve kept on my list of “if the deal is good enough I’ll buy”. I love that resinous spearmint scent it gives off. Longevity is amazing on it & couldn’t pass it up at under $200. I wasn’t expecting delivery till the weekend so I was so excited to see them delivered today.
If anyone has any recommendations on other Kerosene scents to try, I’d like to know.
I went in to TJ Maxx, thinking to myself, “ I see all the posts on here, I’ll just walk in and grab one and walk out”, didn’t realize there’s two aisles of lotions 🤦 after back-and-forth and research I went with the obagi. So far so good.
I asked them to try for these, so glad they were able to hit on them, cause I took L’s.
Between my mom, sister & kids, they all came through. Given, I asked them to try for these, I was surprised they got some of these pieces.
I love, love, love this scent! Amouage being one of my favorite houses, this one checked all the boxes for me. Scent, projection, silage & daily wearability. I have so many samples & decision and purpose 50 are by far well worth the price.
Took Advantage of a 20% off sale @ bluemercury. I went in wanting philosykos but realized I had a couple scents that gave me the same vibe as it. Orpheon has always been on my mind also. So after wearing each, I went back & purchased Orpheon.
The Maker was on sale already at almost 40% off plus the 20% sale so I added it also 😝. They threw in the candle and some sample lotions (eau de rose & eau de sens). Working my way there a 5ml sample of eau de Capitale & really liking that one also.
