Just a frog that loves talking about indie perfumes
Charybdis is a new Fae Folk and Otherworldly Beings collection perfume this year, so it has no reviews, but I was excited to try it. Charybdis has fig in it so I am already sold on it. I liked the other notes listed as well. I love pine scents especially and I do like the…
Alkemia recently released new summer scents and I finally received and let rest a sample I bought from this collection. What is cool about Alkemia’s catalogue is that, though there are seasonal collections, they are available year round! No limited time of year offerings besides the free additional alchemies they make monthly for if you…
(Note: I have been moving from a blogging site to my own website so this review was written after the first week of July, not actually October. Shipping was fast from what I remember) Today, I received my samples that I bought from Olympic Orchids. They are having a sale in July 2026 before raising…
Today, I was busy until before bed so I put on Alkemia’s Somnium. I got this in a sample pack where you choose 5 samples for $20 USD which isn’t too expensive for a set of indie oil perfume samples. I ordered this one many months ago so it should be rested by now. I…
Today, I tried Sorce’s Venus in Fleurs. I had a little oil decant lying around that I bought off someone on Reddit. I think the mango note is interesting as it is not a common fruit in perfumes and I feel like they are growing in popularity. This is characterized as a sweet atmospheric floral.…
During a sale where Poesie brought back some seasonal scents, I got myself a 2 ml sample of Mysterious Fossils. They are well known for their tea scents so I figured I should try it. This perfume is also supposed to give the vibe of a museum which is super charming and unique! I see…
Today, I tried Parakeet from Cirrus Parfum. This is an EdP, with a light blue color. I believe the color is naturally coming from the blue chamomile essential oil listed in the natural ingredients. I was really interested in trying this because people have touted it’s super realistic feather note. I have never owned birds…
Today, I tried Fall Creek, an edP from Cirrus Parfum. I got a set of 5 and this is the last one I haven’t tried and reviewed, aside from my freebie, Alibi. I have seen pretty torn opinions on this one, with some saying it smells like a very masculine cologne and some saying it…
Today, I am reviewing Hexennacht’s Baltic Amber oil perfume. I bought a 1 ml sample decant from Ajevie as Hexennacht only sells larger sizes. It cost me around $4 USD. I like trying out Hex’s stuff because the 5 ml rollerballs are $14 which is super cheap. The longevity on the perfumes have also been…
I somewhat recently got a bunch of Nui Cobalt scents and I didn’t see many reviews on this scent so I decided to be adventurous. The green fig note in this convinced me instantly to buy it and I didn’t pay much attention to each note. This scent is an archive scent so I believe…
