For her (Scents)
Well, mainly for me. The scents may smell differently from how your brain perceived it and I highly recommend asking sales ladies at department-store counters to spray on your arm and walk around the mall the whole day to determine if it’s suitable for your body temperature.
My skin profile: Body Temperature is around 36°C // 96.8°F.
Environment Temperature is around 23°C to 30°C // 73.4°F to 86°F.
Rank | Brand | Item | Remark |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Creed | Aventus for Her | A wrist breaker.It is more feminine, warmer and more floral notes. |
2 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum [Review] | Beautiful scent. Has a concentrated, warmer and more citrusy scent. |
3 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | Baccarat Rouge 540 [Review] | Warm with a hint of excitement. Gives me the feeling of wearing a bare back sparkling dress in a formal event. |
4 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | 754 | Beautiful fresh and clean smell. Smells like you just showered and keep it that way for hours. |
5 | Etat Libre D'orange | I am Trash [Review] | This is a surprise. I can see why it's such a fan-favourite. The first few seconds was a hit of spring and apple trees. When it settles down, it smelled of unconditional love and feeling of secure. Like warm embrace of someone with deep loving feelings. |
6 | Penhaligon's | Luna | Soft and pleasant. A hint of romantic. The best partner perfume to Endymion. Read the story between Endymion and Serene. |
7 | Le Labo | Lys 41 | Surprisingly very fresh even though the notes looked to be very thick and sweet. |
8 | Guerlain | Mon Guerlain Bloom of Rose | It's fresh and flowery but with a lot of elegance in it. |
9 | Guerlain | Mon Guerlain | It's very gentle and elegant. It smelled like a humble and elegant Queen to me. It's mainly flowery but can be a little cloying. |
10 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | féminin Plurier [Review] | It's the smell of a stylish and modern young lady who's polish and in control of her life. |
11 | Gucci | Memoire D'une Odeur | A mix of cotton, softness, and comfort. I need to smell this to sleep soundly. |
12 | Ariana Grande | Cloud | A lighter, younger and whole lot more affordable version than MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 |
13 | Le Labo | Noir 29 | The first spritz wasn't so good but as the time passes, it slowly became more and more yummy. |
14 | Penhaligon's | Empressa | Elegant smell. Very pleasant, kind, and comforting. |
15 | Penhaligon's | The Favourite | It smells nice, it smells like what everyone would love to smell like on a daily basis. |
16 | Guerlain | Aqua Allegoria Rosa Rossa | Fresh sparkling rose scent. One of their bestsellers. |
17 | Guerlain | Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita | This is the bestseller scent for the Aqua Allegoria line in Malaysia. I like it, it's quite fresh and peary. |
18 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | À la rose [Review] | A very light rose garden scent. You can smell the leaves too. |
19 | Penhaligon's | Elisabethan Rose | It isn't very rosey. Has a musky tone to it. Still nice to smell. |
20 | Coach | Dreams | It's interesting, the smell of cactus flower is so aqua-oriented and flowery. |
21 | Coach | Floral | It's a nice flowery smell but the middle-bottom notes doesn't mix well with my temperature. |
22 | Etat Libre D'orange | You or Someone Like You [Review] | Warm yellow bright sunlight, powdery with a hint of soapy scent. It's a scent of someone warm and familiar. The musk sets in stronger later on. |
23 | Etat Libre D'orange | Remarkable People [Review] | Lush-esque bubble sweet smell. Champagne is the utmost noticeable scent. Then comes warm spicy and later on a dry-musk scent. |
24 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | Amyris Femme [Review] | It is almost on par with Guerlain but it has a lighter and more Victorian-esque scent. |
25 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | Aqua Celestia Forte [Review] | For some reasons it gives me the oasis and cactus flower type of feeling. Very light, fresh and flowery. |
26 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | Aqua Universalis [Review] | The smell of fresh Spring morning with some beautiful citrus trees nearby and amazing blue sky. |
27 | Versace | Dylan Blue Pour Femme | This scent is surprisingly amazing. It's not an everyday smell for me though. 10ml bottle is gorgeous and tempting! |
28 | Carolina Herrera | 212 VIP Rose | It gives such a close resemblance to 212 Heroes Forever Young. More feminine, softer, and lovelier. |
29 | Trussardi | Donna | The kind-yet-rich lady smell. I'll wear this if I wanna be the Wizard of Oz White Witch aunty to my nieces and nephews. |
30 | Acqua di Parma | Colonia Club | A very fresh Maldives-esque scent with a hint of expensive Yacht Party. The combination of the ingredients create a unique blend that doesn’t look like what they should smell like on paper. |
31 | Etat Libre D'Orange | Exit the King [Review] | There is a strong soapy yet white-floral-minty scent to it. It kind of reminds me of a Chinese home remedy external usage oil. It's a funny scent. It leans a little more on the feminine side. |
32 | Rihanna | Reb'l Fleur | Sweet candy-like but at the same time has an elegant sexy velvet feeling to it. Velvet skittles, yeah. |
33 | Mancera | Instant Crush | A good dup for MFK BR450 but it has a more Arabic note to it. It has more masculine muskiness. Can be a little overwhelming. |
34 | Ariana Grande | Moonlight | Romantic under the moonlight. No, really! It really smells like that! |
35 | Guerlain | Aqua Allegoria Flora Cherrysia | I like the fresh floral scent. It's very lightweight. Heard it's the bestseller amongst Aqua Allegoria line in Japan. |
36 | Ariana Grande | Ari | Ariana smells so sweet but it's kind of more towards the younger side of the market. |
37 | Guerlain | Aqua Allegoria Rosa Pop | Rosie but a lil more towards teenage angsty compared to Rosa Rossa. |
38 | Guerlain | Aqua Allegoria Orange Soleia | It was a fresher orange scent than what I've smelled. Very simple and suitable for all occassions. |
39 | Christian Dior | Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet | It's.... okay? Very common and it could be better but then again that's just me. |
40 | Lancome | Tresor Midnight Rose | I like it but it's not entirely what I want to wear. Great for a sexy dinner though. |
41 | Ariana Grande | R.E.M. | This is on the muskier side as compared to all Ari perfumes. |
42 | Carolina Herrera | Good Girl Supreme | Bare back sexy. I wish this is the bad-ass villain's main perfume. Like, stepping on men with high heels. |
43 | Carolina Herrera | Good Girl | Tamer side of the Good Girl Supreme. |
44 | Marc Jacobs | Decadence | An of-age scent. At the same time, very high class and highly respectable scent. Think of the Queen of Genovia from Princess Diaries but the elegance of Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. |
45 | Salvatore Ferragamo | Incanto Charms | The bottle design may be a "meh" but the scent is surprisingly decent! |
46 | Ariana Grande | Sweet Like Candy | It's very sweet. That's all. Mmmhm. |
47 | Guerlain | Mon Guerlain Florale | An intense sophisticating sweet scent. I imagine someone who works professionally as a white-collar who still wants to maintain some level of sweetness and innocence. |
48 | Guerlain | Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic | It smells nice and very fitting for festive season (Chinese) but it is a little bit bitter for my liking. |
49 | Ariana Grande | Thank You, Next. | My bf said it smelled like crayon. I don't like the vanilla in it. |
50 | Lancome | La Vie Est Belle | It wasn't as great as expected from the hypes. It was rather alright but definitely better than YSL. |
51 | Lancome | La Vie est Belle L'Éclat | It has more of the orangey smell to it. Could be a bit bitter if the quality had changed. |
52 | Yves Saint Laurent | Mon Paris | I...thought it was great at first but the vanilla-soy smell is so thick, I couldn't stand it. |
53 | Etat Libre D'Orange | She Was An Anomaly [Review] | Overwhelming, headache. It is unfortunately a scent I do not want to wear. Powdery dirt scent. Almost like I had sweated all day working in a field. |
54 | Etat Libre D'Orange | Putain des Palaces [Review] | A very powdery leather scent that could be overwhelming. It gives me a headache. Super, super leathery. |
55 | Yves Saint Laurent | Black Opium | This is a very musky scent which is quite unisex-oriented but it's absolutely not for me. |
56 | Penhaligon's | Juniper Sling | A polarizing and penetrating scent. Not as harsh as Halfeti |
57 | Chloe | Love Story | It's pretty decent and it's quite a common scent. |
58 | Givenchy | Irressistable | Candy-sweet. That's it. Maybe slightly better than Zara-esque perfumes. |
59 | Paco Robanne | Olympea | It's very sweet and sophisticated. |
60 | Paco Robanne | Olympea Blossom | It's a little close to high-end toilet perfume scent. |
Paco Robanne | Lady Million | Citrusy but a little too bitter for my liking. | |
Yves Saint Laurent | Libre | It's equally muskier or not as musky as Black Opium but very much on the sexy formal event type. | |
Gucci | Bloom Acqua Nettare Ambrosia Profumo | They are very underwhelming for me. Not very special. | |
Tom Ford | Lost Cherry | It was too musky for my nose. I think if you like uniquely musky scent, this may be for you. | |
Maison Francis Kurkdjian | Grand Soir [Review] | It's super musky. If anyone wants to know what is the most manliest smell (the sweaty, power, and beardy type), this is it. | |
Penhaligon's | Halfeti | This is probably the most pungent musky scent I've ever smelled. Perhaps the most heady scent for me. | |
Prada | Candy Florale EDT | It is not very sweet but there isn't a lot of specialness to it. | |
Gucci | Guilty | I know I don't like it but it's so unmemorable, I don't recall why I didn't like it. | |
Dolce & Gabbana | The Only One | It smells like pills for me, unfortunately. | |
Guerlain | Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz | If you like coconut scents, this is for you. Just.. not for me. | |
Versace | Bright Crystal | Sweet. Very sweet. | |
Dolce & Gabbana | Light Blue Intense | Extremely sweet. Zara-esque. | |
Estee Lauder | Pleasures Bloom | Sweet but suitable for people a little over the age of 28. | |
Zara | Orchid | Probably the best smell in Zara. This is the newest I've smelled. I've stopped checking on Zara perfumes ever since then. | |
Zara | White | Suitable for OL. Affordable too. | |
Zara | Turquoise Green | It's kind of nice but it's discontinued. | |
Zara | Gardenia | Muskier floral scent. |
For him (Scents)
Rank | Brand | Item | Remark | Appearance |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Creed | Aventus | Amazing. | |
2 | Penhaligon's | Blenheim Bouquet | An extremely gentlemen smell. | |
3 | Penhaligon's | Endymion | Gentle and inviting. The best partner perfume to Lune. Read the story between Endymion and Serene. | |
4 | Carolina Herrera | 212 Heroes Forever Young | It's a very unique blend that is suitable for almost all occassions and ages. The layering is not like any male perfume I've smelt yet. | |
5 | Coach | Blue For Men | It's the fresher side of the Coach Men perfumes. It's citrusy yet suitable for formal events. | |
6 | Coach | For Men | It's almost similar to blue but this has more amber and spicy side to it. | |
7 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | Ameris Homme [Review] | Suit and tie with this scent? Oh, to die for. It's the clear-judgement, respectable, and sexy CEO smell for me. | |
8 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | L'Homme À la Rose [Review] | Best rosey smell for men. No, really, this makes me crazy about putting men and rose scent together. | |
9 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | OUD Silk Mood [Review] | A very gentleman scent that is soothing and brings a relaxing atmosphere. | |
10 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | OUD Satin Mood [Review] | This is similar to OUD Silk Mood but it's on the muskier yet vacation-chill side. | |
11 | Versace | Eros Flame | It really does smell like its name: FLAME. If you like really musky scents but doesn't want to smell extremely heavy, this is the perfume. | |
12 | Maison Francis Kurkdjian | Grand Soir [Review] | If you wanna smell like a "real man", you know the sweaty, muscular, heavy weight and all hands in dirt type. Then again, this is more suitable for formal events. | |
13 | Versace | Eros | Less memorable than I remember but if I liked the Eros Flame, I'd assume the very lesser musky scent is nice too. | |
14 | Mont Blanc | Explorer | This musky scent is rather interesting. I like the top notes but the middle-bottom notes depends on your body temperature. The leather is something tho. | |
15 | Christian Dior | Sauvage | Not as impressive as I hoped it'll be but I guess Johnny Depp is one of the few who can really carry this scent. |
