Thankful for blind-buys

I’m not going to try to give my own reviews on the community scents I got, but this experience has reminded me to take reviews and even in-store sampling with a grain of salt. I never know if a difference in opinion is due to different tastes, different batches, or different regions. I read so many less-than-stellar reviews on the new scents that I was worried about my large in-app purchase. Before it got to me (tariffs/US), they hit the stores, so I couldn’t resist sniffing them all. I was really disappointed in them, and worried that I had wasted my money, but they got here today, and I have to say, I love them! I got two sprays and two perfumes, and I really like them all. I think there were way too many competing scents in store for me to really grasp them. They are nicer and more complex than others have said, and I think they’re good by themselves, but will also elevate some I already have. I don’t want to name them because I think that is counter to my point, but ya- try for yourself. You may be pleasantly surprised!
