My birthday was last Sunday, I turned 51 years old
My family took me to an Italian dinner and bought me a birthday gift, the only gift I asked for actually, which was a $300 bottle of Blanche Bete perfume.
This perfume is so unique and I am obsessed with it. It’s a lactonic fragrance. I went to Sephora and their perfume expert had never even heard of a lactonic fragrance. Its the dry down that is stunning. The sillage is great but can come off as subtle but it’s not really subtle.
I’ve started a tradition of asking for perfumes that I am obsessed with for my birthday. In the past my family bought me, Tom Ford’s Vanilla Fatale, and Byredo Bal d’Afrique. I bought myself the House of Sillage Emerald Reign, and the MFK Grand Soir. All of those are over $200 but I also have some cheaper perfumes that I bought thru recommendations from fragrance youtuber’s that I watch. My favorite of the cheaper ones is Shaghaf Oud. It was recommended by KeikoBeauty on Youtube. I bought it on Amazon for like $50, it’s awesome and smells like caramel and oud. I’ve been stopped in CVS pharmacy for the combo perfume I wear which is “Oud for Glory” mixed with “Yara“. It’s an intoxicating combination. I tend to love unique scents that you typically need to buy from a high end department store like Nordstrom or directly from the fragrance house if you want a legitimate bottle.
There are very popular perfume’s that I do not like, for example MFK’s Baccarat Rouge 540, smells like bandaids to me. Don’t like it. I also do not like any of the DIOR or Chanel perfumes that you can buy in Sephora/Ulta. Miss Dior smells horrible Chanel Mademoiselle is horrid.
The next perfume I want is Tom Ford Soleil Blanc and Soleil Neige. I also want PASSION DE L’AMOUR from House of Sillage.
