| indie perfume oil destash! |
[13th Jan. 2016 • 18:33] |
I'm back! With goodies! I've finally finished testing out my samples, and now I'm clearing out my stash of things I can live without. Note: just because I wasn't crazy about it, doesn't mean that these don't smell good! I can acknowledge that all of these are probably going to appeal to someone -- just not the someone that is myself.
Everything has been swatched 1-2x on my wrist. All perfume oil samples are about 1ml and being sold for $1.00, and you should be getting about 3-8 uses out of them, depending on how much you put on. If the price is different, it is listed. Everything is organized by brand house & listed with the notes/site description to make this as easy as possible. Shipping is just $3 (or possibly less if you get only one or two!). You guys get first pick & then I'm going to head on over to Reddit to finish off my destash ♥

hello, hello ♥ i don't know how many of you are interested in indie perfume outside of bpal, but there's a few events today that have come up that i would like to plug:
sixteen92 has released her winter collection! sixteen92 is absolutely fantastic & has gorgeous, expensive-smelling treats that have serviced me very well. good throw, well-blended, and i've had positive experiences with all of my purchases w/r/t shipping. i've tried most of her general catalog and the recent halloween collection & blind-bought two scents for the winter release today (this is just to say & waking in winter, specifically). of her GC, the most popular are lolita, a really nice fruity scent, and black sugar which is a dupe for aquolina's pink sugar w/ a smoky/dirty/slightly chocolate-y bite. her lotion formula is pretty decent and the toasted marshmallow scent is EXACTLY like marshmallow fluff. it is amazing. i have it on my desk rn at work.
southern comforts released samples for her upcoming winter collection! i've heard really good things about her belle of the balm and just purchased it, and i'm a huge fan of her cake batter sugar scrub omg. IT'S AMAZING. i think the most popular scent she has is west memphis sweater weather, which is this amazing mix of french vanilla latte + toasted bread that i'm obsessed with (i keep a rollerball in my purse and also used my cake batter super fast). good staying power + good sillage, in my experience! her gourmands are fucking on point, and i also really like charlotte sunshine because it smells like amazing lemony sweet tea that dries down to this very gentle floral. her style is more nostalgic and her sugar note is super amazing. also she has a scent called 'cthulhu in carolina' which is A++++, smells like a storm inside of a library. i have literally tried her entire catalogue so if anybody wants opinions, lmk.
darling clandestine is also doing a 'shark friday' special! her scents are really unique and kind of a gamble, but the more adventurous might like to try her out! i love the descriptions she puts for her scents -- super beautiful, evocative writing, even if it's kind of difficult to guess what the notes are for the perfumes -- which might appeal to the writerly sides of us :) her TAT is kind of lame (it took me almost a month to receive my last order) but her scents are really unique, unlike anything else i've tried. IN PARTICULAR SHE HAS A PERFUME MADE IN HONOR OF BRIENNE OF TARTH CALLED 'MY LADY SER'!
just sharing the good news :) |

Well, sort of! I'm looking for a new scent (or two) and am at this point pretty disheartened because I can only really test two or three on any one given day and there is nothing out there for me. Which is clearly not true, and so any recommendations to investigate further based on the following would be received with genuine delight:
-> If it's available in the UK I'll probably be able to track it down, and online places (international or otherwise) that do samples are a-okay
-> I don't have a bucket of money to throw at the problem, but I'm treating this as an investment purchase
-> I'm not a fan of florals (on me), or anything too powdery
-> I tend to like citrus & chypre best, oriental sometimes
-> I'm not really looking to suckerpunch anyone with scent... |
