Just a frog that loves talking about indie perfumes
Today, I tried Enforced Modesty, a fig EdP from Cirrus Parfums. I am exploring more fig scents and this one seems to fit the bill! It is a lovely soft green color. Notes: Fig leaf, ripening fig, marble, laurel wreaths, purple lilac, ivy, green mandarin, and creeping thyme This is a green scent! I get…
So I did technically blind buy a rollerball of Sorce’s Crystal Prism during the special order sale. I didn’t get a sample of this perfume before the sale and I think ajevie didn’t even offer it at the time. I heard this perfume described as gender neutral and I am really into sage, cypress and…
I am scrambling to try some samples I bought of Pierrot Perfumery from Sucrerie Decants as Pierrot Perfumery will soon be closing indefinitely. It is really sad to hear of this and I am really wishing for the best for October, the perfumer behind Pierrot. I hadn’t gotten into his perfumes before since there were…
I got Bear Prince from BPAL in a destash. It is a tiny sample in oil format. I had been eyeing this one because the name sounded so whimsical. This gets me to buy more perfumes than I want to admit. I think I saw a variation of it floating around for a while too,…
During the first month of Pierrot’s closing sale, August, I sprung for a bottle of an unreleased scent since that intrigued me and I didn’t really like the fig sample I got (sample from Sucrerie, which are all EDP, not oil) that I thought I would full-size. I was excited by the idea of something…
I’ve tried A Sign Painted Peaches a few times now in oil form so I feel like I have a good feel for how it performs on me. This is a nice summery fruity scent that I don’t think is cloying. I believe this perfume is now part of the special orders, so it will be…
Today, I am reviewing The Ancient Waters of Venus from Sorce’s special order collection. This is an oil perfume I bought as a decant from Ajevie. Sorce should be opening their special orders in June and I want to try a bunch of special order samples before then since that will be my chance to…
I just received my Ajevie decant for Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab’s Strawberry Moon 2026 (along with Hexennacht’s Strawberry Fields Forever which I review here!) I am in a very strawberry mood and I think Spring and Summer are the perfect seasons to wear strawberry scented perfume! I got a slonk from Ajevie with comes in an…
Today, I tried Sorce’s IDAFT Blueberry perfume in the oil format as a decant from Ajevie. I heard this is a good blueberry online. I have tried This is Not a Love Spell and been disappointed in the lack of blueberry but other people agreed so I trust their judgement for this one. I wasn’t…
I’ve been on a huge strawberry kick lately and I just got my Hexennacht sample of Strawberry Fields Forever. I like Hexennacht and have a few other samples from them. They do not sell samples on the site, but do so through Ajevie. Sometimes the samples are available permanently, and some are only available for…
