So I’ve started seeing someone and she has a birthday coming up… she has one perfume she wears (D&G L’Imperatrice, a nice fruity floral) and so obviously I need to help add to her collection. I have like zero experience with women’s fragrances, so it will be fun to research. I’m looking for a versatile feminine designer or entry niche that can be used 3 seasons (here in Seattle we basically don’t get super cold winters or super hot summers). I want it to be available to sniff IRL with her so let’s keep it Sephora/ Macys/ Nordstroms friendly. Ideally sub $150. My only requirement for a suggestion is it can’t have Iris - if I don’t like it on me, I won’t like it on her 😉 Research so far (based on notes alone) for ones to check out: - YSL Libre EDP or l’Absolute Platine - Armani Power of You, She - JPG So Scandal - Dior j’dore l’or - Dolce My Devotion - BIR Donna Pink Would love some more suggestions!

I’m a geek, and I’m excited about the collaboration between John Wick and Scent Bird. I’m aware that the CEO of Scent Bird has made some controversial comments, but I couldn’t resist the allure of owning a John Wick fragrance in my collection.
