As a Mom, found my spark again 💕

I’m a mom and somewhere between work, kids, school stuff, and just everyday life, I kind of stopped collecting perfumes for a while. Recently I found my spark for it again and honestly, it feels so nice having a little hobby that’s just for me. 🥹🤍

This is my little collection so far. I clearly lean towards fresh, clean, feminine, airy and slightly powdery scents.

I’m thinking of adding another Diptyque next. Currently torn between L’Eau Papier, Fleur de Peau and Orphéon, but I’m open to other recommendations too! Looking into Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamom as well!

Based on what I already own, what would you add next? I’d love something that still feels like “me” but isn’t too similar to what I already have. 🤍

Also please enable me responsibly because I fear the perfume obsession is officially back. 😂

A gift from my korean student! Musinsa After Shower 🫧🫧🫧

A thank you gift from my korean student who finished his last day of training with us today! Nung first week nya cnompliment ko talaga sya kasi ang bango nya pero di overwhelming, very airy and slightly soapy, amoy gwapo haha na may onting sweetness. Very appropriate lang as we work in healthcare setting (hospital). Sabi niya Korean brand daw yung gamit niya pero di nya maalala pangalan. Akala ko ginagate keep nya lang talaga. Tapos eto daw yung thank you gift nya hehe share ko lang. If you guys travel to Korea maybe check this out if you like clean, airy na woody warm, hirap iexplain. haha

When did you start appreciating lighter fragrances?

I usually reach for fragrances with some depth, but lately I like lighter scents more. I notice how different a soft fragrance feels when I wear it during the day. Neroli, clean woods, airy florals and fresh musks are starting to stand out to me more. I smell them on someone and immediately want to know what they are wearing. I still enjoy strong perfumes, especially when I want something richer, but lighter scents feel more interesting to me right now. I like how they stay close and let me notice small details in the scent. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino is one that makes sense to me for this. What lighter fragrance made you appreciate this style?

I gave in to the hype, wone you won

I have yet another "love at first sniff" 😍😍

This is so sexy and the kind of smell i want to smell again and again😭

Ugh, i wanna discover the whole line now

Notes is just : pear , rose and musk

And the musk here is your skin when you just woke up and you're with a loved one and you enjoyed the night together

It's perfume that settled on your skin for a while and that's what makes it so sexy, wone you really won me!

Thoughts on Delilah Blanc?

Ive been really into clean-girl scents lately and I saw online that this could fit the vibe. But honestly, I’m terrible at interpreting fragrance descriptions and making sense of the notes. 🤣 Can someone help me out?

Already ordered a decant but im way excited to know already 🤣

WFH Kikay Kit Men's Edition

WFH dahil sa habagat, pero wag gawing excuse para magmukhang nawalan na ng direksyon sa buhay.

Maligo, mag-ayos, mag-perfume. Kahit walang makakakita, iba ang mood kapag feeling mo presentable ka kahit di kagwapuhan 🤣😁😆

Agree ba kayo dito?

Do you also curate your fragrance collection or just buy whatever you like?

Do you guys actually think about how each fragrance fits into your collection, or do you just buy whatever smells good to you?

Based on my current clean/airy/fresh rotation, which scents should i get next? probably one ME or a niche. I'm planning to get MFK GFS, Orpheon, and DHI next in that order.

Why is there no noise re: Asian niche/indie fragrances

I'm baffled with the near-total silence from FragheadsPH on Asian niche and indie perfume houses—especially when you contrast it with how much airtime European niche gets here.

Look at the archives: There's constant discussion about Creed, Le Labo, Xerjoff, Nishane, Amouage, and PDM. I get it—these are good. But where's the conversation on the Asian side of things?

Honestly, Filipino indie houses (Tadhana, Wren Atelier) get some love here because they're accessible and local. But there's basically nothing on the rest of Asia:

Thai indie: Journal, Strangers Parfumerie, Butterfly Thai Perfume, Siam 1928, Prin, Bortnikoff—some of these are doing tropical gourmands and animalic oud work that's legitimately innovative.

Japanese: J-Scent, Parfum Satori, çanoma, SHIRO, ROAliv, Tokyo Kodo, YUBUNE, EDIT(h)—the minimalism and incense expertise here is *unmatched* by European houses, yet we don't talk about it.

Chinese indie: Melt Season, Outis, Less by Less, Documents, Chasense, Uttguer—doing serious work with papyrus, wood, tea, and minimalist architecture that rivals anything from France.

Taiwanese: P.Seven, Eyecandle—literally making tea fragrances better than half the tea offerings from established European niche.

Indian: Bombay Perfumery, Boond Fragrances—petrichor and attar work that's completely absent from Western indie conversation.

Malaysian: Malay Perfumery, Olfacti—heritage spices and tropical resin work.

We're geographically adjacent to literally all of this. We have shipping advantages Europeans pay 50% premiums to access. Yet the FragheadsPH conversation stays locked on Western niche.

So I have to ask: Is this a discovery gap? A credibility gap? Do people just not trust Asian indie quality? Or is there something else I'm missing about why an entire continent of fragrance innovation stays off the radar here?

My safe blind buy: Hibiscus (Cotidiano)

This was recommended by my workmate and hindi ako nagsisi na binili ko sya 🌺

It has a creamy sweet floral scent. Leathery yung dating sakin nung dry down nya, and it lasts LONG, legit. Basta gusto ko to! Hahaha. Unisex daw ito pero mas leaning sya sa fem side for me. Di ko to mare-reco na suotin kapag sa initan or makikipah bakbakan ka sa commute. Mas better ito sa rainy/cold weather or kapag nasa air conditioned office ganern!

Ano thoughts nyo here?

my newest perfume babies! 🤍

these are my new babies! it started with Diptyque’s L’Eau Papier and now these two 🤭

idk but I think super underrated ng Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco! I super love how clean, fresh, and soft it smells— very comforting and parang fresh-out-of-the-shower kind of scent 🤍

then I tried a decant of Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc and fell in love right away! I was so torn between Pure Musc and Pure Musc Blanc, but I think I’m just not on the creamy side… 😂 Pure Musc is definitely more me!

can you guess what my favorite scent profile is based on the perfumes I keep buying? 🤭

Are Sunnies Fragrances all dupes?

iirc they claim that their fragrances are all original.
But I noticed, alot have similar notes to known frags like:

Blue- JM Wood Sage & Sea Salt
Pink- D&G L'Imperatrice
Yellow- Nenuco?

Are the other colors reminiscent of other frags too?

What's that one perfume that makes you melt into it and you never wanna get over that feeling?

Arabians Tonka by Montale is that perfume for me. I like how the saffron, rose and tonka come through together, with that sweet, warm smell that stays really noticeable. It feels rich but still easy for me to understand, and I keep going back to it when I want something strong. I smell the sweetness first, then the rose and that deeper woody side start showing up. She wears it and I instantly ask what perfume it is. I like perfumes that have this kind of presence, where every part of the scent feels easy to notice. Arabians Tonka just hits that exact spot for me, and I enjoy smelling it every time. What perfume gives you that exact feeling?
