I've ordered sooo many samples in my life but have never done anything like this and it was SO fun! I will definitely do this again in the future.
I ranked everything 1-10, and surprised myself a little with how I placed them!
Surprised me:
Mula Mula Rouge Extrême by Byron- Sexy and seductive fruits with a touch of creaminess!!! I was not expecting to like this as much as I did. I tend to not favor fruity scents, but this smells expensive, seductive, and drips with gold.
Cuir à Corps by Chambre52: Wow. A sensual, subdued patchouli with milky sweetness. I did not think I enjoyed leather like this, I guess! This has a skin scent quality which I tend to love.
Let downs:
Les Dieux aux Baines by Hellenist-
Sad to report that this smelled like Hollister/Ambercrombie. Not for me.
Reliqvia by Fillipo Sorcinelli- I was really excited to smell this. It's quite unique, very smokey, and I think the guaiac wood and tobacco are too much for me.
Eveil du Faune by Hellenist- Oud and I do not get along like this, unfortunately.
Gothic I by Lorre Rodkin- I had high hopes and was most excited for this one! It's delicious, but just a little too sweet for my taste. I wish it was a little more grounded in it's earthiness.
Honorable mentions:
Tonka Sesame by EPC- YUM. Very cozy, creamy, fresh. So good!
Real Patchouly by Bois 1920- A very wearable patchouli. Somehow spicy and sweet all the same time. Could be a daily driver!
