Pickup/gift Dumont Celerio Elysium EDP + Burberry London EDT
Landed on Dumont Celerio Elysium as a new summer scent (and potential signature scent). It took forever to be shipped to me but wowwww.
Clone Of MontaBaco Ormonde Jayne
When I got back from the airport last night I sprayed it on my night shirt and slept in it. Throughout the night I was pleasantly surprised by the scent. It’s quite mature smelling but has an addictive sweetness somewhere underneath. 12 hours later I am smelling the shirt I slept in and it’s still pretty fragrant.
The opening is very juicy + bright. I sprayed it on my arm just now and got wafts of peppercorn + pine. This has a nice spice to it. It’s ozonic for sure, very fresh in spite of the earthiness that’s introduced early and settles in a lot more later.
I would describe the “juicy” smell as cranberries plucked from the branch. The description does say “juniper berries”…
but I don’t know what those smell like. I am also getting some sort of citrus? Maybe it’s grapefruit? The scent overall is mature but the brightness of it makes it a touch playful.
As the scent develops i am reminded of Hojicha tea specifically. There is a nuttiness + smokiness to this Fragrance that goes sooo well with the teanote. Toasty, sweet, earthy but BRIGHT.
I am over the moon about this purchase. I wore it for an errand today and the smell wafting off of my tracksuit now 4 hours later is just delicious 🤤.
9/10 So far. Can’t wait to see how this develops

Burberry London EDT
My vocal coach gave me this one for a job well done I guess?
Luckily I live in The Bay, so we have plenty of windy + chilly days to look forward to this spring/summer. This scent will be perfect come Fall/Winter also. It is spicyyyyy.
I sprayed this before heading to the airport last and the scent has continued to stay on my jacket an entire week later. What they say is true. It smells like Christmas.
Pine needle, cinnamon, gingerbread… Patchouli? Firewood! Potpourri? This reminds me of the random potpourri bowls my Mom had around the house growing up with pinecones, cranberries, cinnamon sticks, etc etc.
Since it reminds me of childhood, this smell is quite grounding to me. Like if I were to cuddle up in a pile of very dry leaves while someone in the neighborhood has their fireplace going. And then someone was nice enough to bring a hot toddy or (spiced orange tea to be age appropriate) to my lil leaf palace.
There are hints of orange + whiskey + spiced apple to me
This was a really beautiful surprise. I wasn’t expecting to receive it but I like it A LOT and can’t wait to wear it when it’s a bit chillier outside.
