10. Test on skin, but use cotton rounds too: For me, skin is still the best way to really understand a fragrance. A paper tester in a store is fine for getting a quick first impression, especially of the opening, but it doesn’t tell me the whole story. You really need skin to see how the fragrance develops on you, how it projects, and what happens once it gets into the heart and drydown. That said, I also like using unscented hypoallergenic cotton rounds as a secondary testing method. I keep them at home, and they’re easy enough to carry with me when I’m going somewhere to test fragrances. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VSBRRHD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09542G9ZN/ref=vp_d_pb_cml_lp_B07VSBRRHD_pd?_encoding=UTF8&pf_rd_p=9c76da3e-1986-461f-80fe-90d97a5b2d1f&pf_rd_r=VFRVSXM184KT7GR79F81&pd_rd_wg=xHrmI&pd_rd_i=B09542G9ZN&pd_rd_w=CSpTa&content-id=amzn1.sym.9c76da3e-1986-461f-80fe-90d97a5b2d1f&pd_rd_r=91c00bd7-5e69-4f58-b999-cebba9366fb9&th=1 What I like about cotton rounds is that they hold the fragrance well and give me something I can come back to later. I can spray one, put it aside, and smell it again an hour, three hours, or even several hours later. That gives me a much better idea of how the fragrance changes over time instead of judging everything from the opening. Another thing I do is place the sprayed cotton round in a small plastic food-storage zip bag. That lets me take it home, keep different fragrances separate, and revisit them later when I want to study the drydown or get a sense of how much scent is still hanging around. I wouldn’t treat that as a perfect real-world longevity test, because sealing it in a bag slows normal evaporation, but it’s a great way to preserve the sample and compare how different fragrances evolve over time.

Lazy Sunday Morning was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is English perfumer Louise Turner, whom is probably best known for most of the bad boy/Good Girl releases. Lazy Sunday Morning, we dont really need to explain this one, as I think the name perfectly captures its intended mood. Its a Fresh/floral edt scent designed to evoke the feeling of waking up in clean, crisp bed sheets on a tranquil Sunday. Its super fresh. The fragrance opens with a burst of aldehydes, which give it a clean, fresh, and slightly soapy quality, reminiscent of freshly laundered cotton. The lily of the valley adds a delicate, bright, and pure floral note. There are also Pear & Ambrette Seed notes listed. Whats not listed is the healty dose of Ambroxan im getting here. As the fragrance settles, the iris comes forward, providing a luxurious, powdery, and skin-like effect. The Rose Absolute & Orange flower add a soft, elegant floral bouquet. Finally, the white musks blend & ambrette seeds create a warm, sensual, and comforting dry-down that feels like soft, sun-warmed skin. The touch of Indonesian Patchouli Oil adds a subtle earthiness to the base. So being completly honest, this is not my usual vibe, im much more into the darker, steonger Winter type scents. That said, I am stangely enjoying this one. Its COZY & nostalgic in its own right. As an edt, I dont expect much, but this is suprisingly punching well above its weight. Lasting longer than Jazz club. I had a similar effect with 'When the Rain Stops'. Performance is a good 6 hours on skin with projection at arms lenght for the first 2hrs. Im impressed with this. Would I add it to my collection? Most likely, it certainly has a place & use. My Rating: 7/10 Scent: 2.5 Longevity: 2 Sillag e: 1.5 Y/N: 1
