I ordered a sample from Juliet Rose's Etsy shop, and so far this is my favorite from the samples I have tried. A simple clean violet fragrance, fresh and perfect for springtime. Unfortunately, it just does not last longer than 1-2 hours. The main notes I get here are Violet, Violet leaf and the green notes. Gives off similar vibes as Annick Goutal's La Violette.

This handmade fragrance gives off boozy cherry-almond vibes. It is not a soft skin-scent but a more mature fragrance, that lasts very long and is noticeable. For me, the almond and rose are more dominant than the pistachio. For some reason, it reminds me of Cacharel's Gloria, which is discontinued nowadays. It does not really suit my personality, and therefore I will not purchase a full bottle but I think fans of Tom Ford's Lost Cherry should give this a try. More suitable for nighttime and colder seasons in my opinion.

Wow, I am surprised to see no Mango in the notes. The beginning starts off like a tropical cocktail to my nose, and I do smell mango, which could be a mix of the orange and some of the other notes. After the top notes are gone, it leaves a nice super creamy, sweet and clean scent, which is easy to wear and pretty. I feel this is so characteristic for Laura Biagiotti fragrances, and it is one feature I love about this fragrance house. This one is an inoffensive all-rounder and signature scent worthy. Very underrated in my opinion. Lasting power is very long too, after 6 hours I can still smell it on my weist.

Very sweet scent, with dominant vanilla and coconut notes. I do get a burnt rubber smell in the background which makes it unenjoyable to wear, for me personally. I noticed this happened to many newer vanilla fragrances, for example "vanilla woods". Cute name and bottle though.

So far my favorite from 7 Virtues. Fresh, juicy pear, slightly sweet scent. Fun to wear and well balanced. Very similar to Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia, indeed! I imagine wearing this during spring and summer time.

Currently sampling Lipstick Fever and I must say it is not as expected but still a nice fragrances. The title might be a bit misleading as it does not truely resemble a lipstick scent. For a good half n hour I get this nice warm sweet strong raspberry note, which is very pleasant and fun to wear. The raspberry note fades away after one hour on me and leaves a dry Iris and Cedar wood combo, which is not as spectacular for me. If you are looking for a true Lipstick scent, I would recommend Lipstick Rose by FM. But Lipstick Fever is a great raspberry scent in my opinion. This scent lasts a very long time, around 6 h. Might work better for autumn and winter though.

This one is clearly unisex. On my skin it leans a bit more masculine, but it might be the fact, that I usually wear scent that do have at least some sweet notes. I find NOT A PERFUME fresh and clean, it sits close to the skin, so it will most likely not offend anyone. Nothing mindblowing though. In comparison, I would go with Glossier as the scent profile suits me much better. Still a nice scent for many occassions and I see why many like it.

Nest fragrances appear to have well balanced compositions, from what I tried. It was difficult to choose between sunkissed hibiscus or golden nectar. In the end I decided to go for hibiscus because the lasting power seemed better and the scent was more unique. I do mainly get a dry, baked, warm coconut with strong amber note and tuberose in the background. There is some sweetness and creaminess from the frangipani but it is not very isolated, more blended in. To me this is surely a summer scent but it feels like it would suit nighttime better, as it has a warm and powdery character. The lasting power is quiet weak, about 3 hours on me.

Very strong sandalwood and cederwood notes. This is all I get from this. It is a bit nauseating to me. I put it on my boyfriends arm and it lasted all day but I did not enjoy it on him. As I have never smelled santal 33, I am unable to compare but it might be a good and natural choice for santalwood lovers. It might work better as layering scent though.

The notes do not reflect what I smell on my skin unfortunately, as they sound beautifully. On my skin I get mostly a burst of refreshing citrus with some aquatic notes which give of a masculine vibe. The lastingpower is quite poor, I can barely smell it after 2 hours.
