French Avenue Chaos 🍒👜 - hmmm this one seems like an acquired taste. Metallic cherry note is consistent throughout this one, Reminds me of cherry flavored sore throat spray 😭 but does have a nice leathery dry down. I didn’t initially like it but it’s growing on me. Not a safe blind buy though imo. 

Haramain Detour Noir 🍏🍨- WOW where has this one been! $20 PDM Layton clone that smells absolutely AMAZING to me. Masculine Lavender/Green appley kind of opening into an addicting cardamom vanilla dry down. I honestly love it , and at this price is a first-ballot hall of famer cheapie for me😤🔥 i have a decant of PDM Layton otw to smell and compare it to soon as well!

Byredo Gypsy Water🫐🍋( decant) - im ngl, I’m a bit underwhelmed. Heard a lot about Byredo and It smells nice like a nice aqua/citrus/berry but the scent is so FAINT/ subtle it’s hard to pick up, to me at least. It is a rlly nice scent but i cant imagine paying so much for a bottle of this. I’ll have to revisit it.  

Byredo Mojave Ghost🪷🪾 (decant) - I actually like this one a touch better w/ its light floral musk notes but it honestly has same issue of gypsy water of being way too light and faint to me. Is this a common Byredo issue ? Might get a test spray of this to sample one day or try one more Byredo scent just to be sure

PDM Sedley🌊☀️ (decant) - Smells like they captured the refreshing phenomenon of that first sip of McDonalds Sprite in a scent. Genuinely one of the most aquatic openings and overall fresh scents ive ever smelled that dries down into a beautiful sandalwood musk. Like Poseidon vibing in Atlantis Jfc i love it. The hype is certainly justified, I’ll have to try the clone of this one!

ill return soon with more scents and unsolicited opinions 🫡
