  • Introducing "Unapproachable Fragrances"! 🌸🔥
    I am tackling the somewhat obscure trend that popped up last year (mostly on TikTok) around "Unapproachable Makeup"...but in this case, make it Fragrance.
    Looking for a more humorous take on perfumes? Join me as we dive into the intriguing world of "Unapproachable Fragrances" - popular scents that carry an air of mystery, making their wearers captivatingly, well...unapproachable (LOL).
    l'll explore the enchanting allure of these perfumes and share intriguing anecdotes about each. What fragrances do you wear that are unapproachable?!
    Anyway, it's a bit of fun. Enjoy.

    Terroni is a negative term that is used here in Italy to identify people from the southern part of the country. Orto Parisi used it in an ironic way, I guess to celebrate southern Italy and its volcanoes, with the hot ground "boiling" around them!
    I sometimes have rb face, I can't help it if I have to deal with particularly annoying peole 😂 If I have to think about an unapproachable fragrance No.19 by Chanel comes to mind. An elegant, rich woman wearing all unbranded, super expensive clothes walking in Paris.

    I went through over 600 ml of Prada Infusion D'Iris, and I love the scent.

    What a fun topic! I own Prada Infusion D Iris and I love that image. I never thought of it that way but I'm going with it. I'd add Stairway to Heaven by Jul Et Mad to the list. Ice Queen in a bottle! It is the coldest feeling scent I've smelled and I do enjoy wearing it occasionally. You're also so right about compliments. I get them at times but it's not a daily thing by any stretch and that's normal I think. It's also probably a good sign that the perfume is not overbearing imo. I cannot imagine you with RBF btw!

The SA sprayed it and I was like OMG. Until then, I was not much into aldehydes. Now I am more and more interested in aldehydic fragrances. I bought Rien Intense Incense by Etat Libre d'Orange. And I am contemplating buying Heritage by Fragrance Du Bois but the price tag is so prohibitive

    Hahaha, what a fantastic idea for a video. This would make for a sensational, very juicy brunch conversation topic-- imagine all the anecdotes and stories people would share?! This inspired topic really could cover everything interesting about individual personalities and their unique psychology and so forth. I suspect most of what I like reads vaguely unapproachable in some way as I like strength of character in everything, and fragrance is no exception. Thus, I'm very careful about what I wear in any social setting knowing how challenging so many scent profiles are for 'regular folks' who aren't heavily into niche fragrances like all of us here in the comment section. Why would I wear 'Ambre Loup' by Rania J to Waitrose at 2pm?! What an act of aggression that would be! Better to stick to Cio Cio San by MDCI or something clean, familiar and friendly. Although just between you and I, often I conduct a cheeky experiment here and there, to hell with the general public and their unsophisticated facial orifices.

    Thank you Cherie!! 😁 Loved the vid. For me, the most common culprit is usually Interlude Man. Unapproachable for a different reason. 😆 Originally thought that the castoreum and cumin in Epic would be harder to handle, but it doesn't project nearly as far as the blue beast. It's since become my "alone time" fragrance. 😂 Oud Satin Mood edp might be the blue sister, but she has a way of drawing people in with her sweetness. Both nuclear fragrances though.

      I had a sample of Terroni that someone had given me and then a fragcom friend kindly gifted me a bottle for my birthday one year. She is in Sydney so would have bought it from there. As we are both in Brissy perhaps we should organise to catch up sometime and I can give you a sample!
