Today’s pickups from Belvish.
These are my initial impressions of these fragrances.
Creed Royal Oud: By far my favourite from all the ones I picked up today. It is such a good interpretation of oud, granted it doesn’t have a lot of oud but it is something I imagine wearing when I want myself to smell like the centre of attention. Woody smokey and refined.
Byredo Bal D’afrique Absolu: Fresh opening with a woody base. Very clean yet complex fragrence. Wanted to know what the hype was about and I deserves all of it.
Byredo Mojave Ghost Absolu: This one is a bit richer and warmer than Bal D’afrique to me. Fruiter in the opening but quite musky with a hint of amber.
Goldfield & Banks Pacific Rock Moss: Doesn’t last a very long time but boy does it smell good. Haven’t smelled anything quite like this before. Such a good summer beach fragrance. Salty fresh and very refreshing.
Replica Jazz Club: A bit boozy warm and kinda fresh in the opening. Was a steal for the price.
Penhaligon’s Halfeti: Opens quite puchy but has a quite complex woody base. Got a good deal on the combo with the body wash so got both.
Atelier Lune Feline: Have been in love with vanilla fragrances and this one is a rich spicy vanilla. Would be great as a signature winter scent.
Nishane Wulong Cha: This is what I wanted Imagination to be. A tea fragrance with character. Opens citrusy but the tea note is quite prominent and I felt it has a bit more umph to it than imagination.
MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait: Asked my friend who I was with what how smells and he said “RICH” so I would leave it at that.
Swiss Arabian Opulence of Dubai: Rich Spicy and Warm of the start. Smells like an infusion between a spice market and a chocolate factory.
Swiss Arabian Vanilla 01: A soft vanilla fragrance which one its own is good (a bit feminine leaning imo) but would be good for layering.
Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Nectar Blush: Quite floral and fruity but polished. Smells quite clean and definitely Feminine leaning.
Mykonos Reflection: LV Symphony dupe, got this for the gym.
