I love the Miu Miu bottle so much, but it does smell totally generic. I exclusively use roller balls and sample vials right now, but for the future when I hope to own a full bottle of something I love it makes me a little sad when perfumes I love have ugly bottles and vice versa :/ Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01026715829212144130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-87904687933231229642017-02-06T16:05:02.925-08:002017-02-06T16:05:02.925-08:00I do like citrus, though I'm not big into suga...I do like citrus, though I'm not big into sugary scents (or "gourmands" I guess?).

I used to wear this higher-end drugstore scent called "Unruly" that had watermelon and musk and who knows what-all that was more 'mature' in taste than you'd expect a high school girl to want, but I associated it so strongly with my high school/college boyfriend that after we broke up, even though we didn't hate each other, I decided to switch.<br /><br />Basically my rule these days is, if it doesn't smell like candy (particularly citrus candy) I probably don't want it. (Currently when I do wear perfume, it's either LoveSpell, C.O. Bigelow Lemon, or L'Occitaine Verveine.) So I'm really interested in BUSINESS FRUIT.The Bunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596489417768627544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-69028140530495181282017-02-06T06:50:58.023-08:002017-02-06T06:50:58.023-08:00Haha great compilation of descriptions!

Actually, this whole post was very funny. I've never met an Atelier Cologne scent that I enjoy, but that's just based on two sample vials - maybe I need to expand my repertoire. <br /><br />Also, I love Schitt's Creek!

I was wearing it pretty often earlier this winter. I wouldn't buy a full bottle (it's a little heavy/mature for me), but I rarely meet a rose scent I don't like.

I bought the full sample set from their site ($35 for 33, I think?) ostensibly to give to NY brother for his birthday, but I'm going to poach the ones I don't think he'll like (florals in particular).
