  • @sharoncruz9901
    @sharoncruz9901 Рік тому +1

    I agree 100% with you on the Guidance. A total beast mode perfume with a strong sandalwood bomb base. When I tested it I thought the Santal 33 I tested a day or so earlier had remained, or resurfaced on my skin. It is a beautiful scent - but for me, one tiny spray is all I can take. And your Santal 33 description is so spot on. It reminds me of summer hikes on a sweltering day here in the west coast of Canada in a cedar forest. ❤ BTW I am wearing the new Kayali Yum Pistachio today, and I swear it has that sandalwood dry down similar to Guidance. ❤

Really love it now, it’s so great to layer on with very gourmand scents to help ground them. Sadly, I’m one of the ones who can’t pick up the iso-e-super, I blind bought sunny side up and had to declutter it lol. Have you tried IF by Frapin?

      Thank you! It's definitely related to Santal 33, but not as harsh or aromatic. This is a more light, fresh take on the DNA. It has a bergamot note that definitely adds to the fresh quality, and it has bit of a cooling vibe in the opening, but gets warmer as it dries down. Dry, woody sandalwood and cedar, cardamom, elemi, and violet. I'd describe it as perfectly unisex :)

      I'd be happy to give you my thoughts!
      - Sana Jardin Sandalwood Temple (a simple fragrance. Powdery, creamy, buttery, sandalwood, vanilla. It also has a slight bit of a coconut vibe. That’s it. There’s beauty in its simplicity, this would also be great for layering. It’s soft and chic, calming. Cozy, understated. The vanilla note is soft and addicting, it keeps drawing me in. If the scent has a texture it would be cashmere. This is amazing for a your skin but better scent. Appropriate if you’re sensitive to fragrances, work in healthcare. Don’t expect anything wow factor or crazy because it is a simpler fragrance but it’s lovely. The reason I’m not pulling the trigger on a bottle is that I do detect a hint of that buttery quality which isn't for me.)
      - Goldfield & Banks White Sandalwood (smells mature. Powdery. Rose, sandalwood, thyme)
      - Van Cleef & Arpels Santal Blanc (nice! But not personally into the fig, which is a dominant note. Fig, sandalwood, musk. Powdery, soft. Doesn’t really project.)
      - Guerlain Santal Pao Rosa (very woody. I get a spicy dark rose even though it's not listed. Tinyy touch of fig)
      - Atelier Materi Santal Blond (I do smell a little resemblance to TF Santal Blush but I like this better, not so kitchen spice like. A dry, creamy sandalwood with hinoki bourbon and green cardamom. Not totally digging the spicy and deep dark aspect of the bourbon. Also detect a little bit of a dill smell. Unisex leaning a little masculine. It’s okay.)
      - Diptyque Tam Dao EDT (realistic, natural wood. Dry sandalwood, cedar, rosewood, cypress, spices. I want a smidge of vanilla or something. Too linear and simple for me.)
      These are of course my own opinions and tastes, you may have a different experience, but I hope it helped a little :)

      I have! I unfortunately don't get what everyone else seems to be getting from that fragrance. To my nose, it's sharp, and has this fizzy, piercing quality to it. It also smells sour when I put my nose up to my skin. I don’t experience creamy, amazing sandalwood like others. Such a bummer 😩😩 but I'm glad it was a hit for you!

      perfect!! 😘 I hope you like them! And of course! To me, Sherwood smells like a nutty, creamy sandalwood and oak even though nuts aren’t listed. Maybe it’s the carrot seeds? So that part wasn't for me. I smell zero black currant personally. The florals are very quiet and well blended. Hope that helps a little bit :)

      @@ci2091 It doesn't smell gourmand to me, but maybe you'll have a different interpretation and smell a bit of that? To me, it doesn't have an edible or slightly sweet factor to it. It's dry, earthy, yet creamy and nutty. 🤍🤍

    I'm so happy to see you talk about your favorite note in fragrances...You know - I was late to the Gris Charnel train because every fragrance I had tried with the note of fig just didn't sit well with me...and tbh I appreciate sandalwood as a base note but I am not crazy about perfumes centered completely around it - that's just me...BUT, I was finally like: "Ugh, FINE! - Let me try it and see what all the dang fuss is about!" And yep! I get what all the fuss is about! What an amazing composition! I feel like it is a masterpiece! So, totally changed my heart on some things. I did want to send a recommendation your way - If you haven't already smelt it: Selperniku by January Scent Project (MY favorite sandalwood fragrance) Now, I am a gourmand freak and also a lover of some pretty Avant Garde fragrances - This smells like eating saltine crackers with butter and apricot jam off of a slab of sandalwood! That's the smell...The dry down is TOTALLY sandalwoody...And it is nuclear! I feel it projects pretty well and lasts for 12 days...LOL! I love it! But, I would LOVE to hear your thoughts Anne...lol! xoxo

    • @AnneLauren

    • @AnneLauren
      @AnneLauren  Рік тому +1

      Chloe Nomad is nice. Citrusy, fresh, sparkling, with a touch of peach. After about 30 min, it transitions into that classic perfume DNA, I personally find the Absolu version much more special!
      This is Her is a nice, simple, soft woody, powdery vanilla, musky scent. It's sweet, airy, lactonic from the whipped cream, the wood is very creamy as well and almost comes off like a molecular fragrance note such as iso e super. I don’t personally get the chestnut. I like something a tad more complex and I'm not a fan of the lactonic vibe, which is why it wasn't for me, but I do think it's good.
