Notes: This has been a fruity sort of week; I feel like a cornucopia!
I finally got the chance to play with the Lattafa Eclaire Banoffi. I’m a big fan of the original Eclaire, but this one is a lot lighter. It reminds me of a banana pudding, a delicious scent, but not an overpowering one. I tried layering with both dupes of Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume Superdose & Escentric Molecules Molecule 02. I think they both did the job well, but for me the Molecule 02 dupe brought out more of the banana tropical fruitiness, while the Not A Perfume Superdose dupe brought out more of the gourmand cozy sweetness. In both cases I added Miris Banana to the mix to amp up the banana entirely.
I’m so impressed with the Origen fragrances, and was so happy whenever I got to use Sahara Mystery Oud this week. It could so easily be someone’s everyday fragrance. In my opinion, it’s very unisex as well, but then again I don’t really pay that much attention to that sort of thing! Sahara Mystery Oud worked well over the summer, but it works equally as a spicy and cozy fragrance. I definitely reach for the body mist more often, but when I used the EDP I would catch whiffs of it the next morning. I’m considering looking at some of the ones I don’t have.
Rounding out my week was my old friend BBW Sweetheart Cherry. It was the perfect thing for misting in the afternoon when I didn’t want to be too weighed down by fragrance: on a walk, watching TV, cleaning. It just brings me joy. And it paired well with everything this week, adding to the cornucopia feeling.
Justin’s tray was moody and dark this week, but I gave him some options for lightness since he had a couple of in person appointments. He primarily used the BBW Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte, but I think V.V. Love Hombre de Oro was the choice for appointment, and Al Rehab French Coffee was used once when he was feeling like smelling nice at home. Justin doesn’t care as much as I do, nor should he have to. But I do like to rotate his options as well, just to keep everything in use!
