This week’s fragrances suited me very well. I was so glad to get a chance to play with Le Falconé Risala Forever, which is much more buttery than I had expected. I actually liked that, but I can see others finding it a bit too synthetic. I found it worked well with BBW Inner Angel & Mémoire Archives Let’s Bake to give very different versions of cake. But I also think Risala Forever isn’t as gourmand as the notes would suggest. It is more wearable and inoffensive than some of my favorite gourmands.
Turab Al Dhahab is so hard to work with. I like it, but it smells more like a vinyl toy than coconut. It requires a specific use to make sense. I think layered with strawberry could be interesting, but I’ve tried hard to make it part of my rotation and I’ve failed. Maybe it’s just not for me, and that’s okay.
Ramz Lattafa (Silver) returned to the tray pretty quickly. I used it a lot this time, but didn’t layer with anything else. It was just a nice fragrance to wear as it is. It’s still not as good as the Gold, but I need to stop comparing those two. They really are nothing like one another.
The whole week was nicely edible and warm. Inner Angel was my go to throughout the week for a refresh. And I put quite a dent in it.
