back in the early 2000s, britney spears curious was my signature (and, let's face it, only) fragrance in high school. i picked it up at cvs, where i worked. in the 2010s, i switched to vera wang princess and slowly accumulated other fragrances. due to the endocrine disruptors that can be present in synthetic fragrance, i switched to essential oils in the mid-2010s and didn't re-explore fragrance until a couple of years ago. and now i seem to be making up for lost time with my collection.

14 jun 2026i loved burberry her when i tested it, purchased a travel size, and then promptly hated it. it pulled very synthetic on my skin so i let it macerate for months, hoping it would mellow. (it did not.) i questioned if i bought the wrong one, because i seemed to like all of the flankers.
one whole year later, i decided to try it again. lo and behold, it was the fragrance i remembered in the store. as the weather warms up, i'm wearing it as a daytime perfume both in and out of the office.
another favorite, very good girl glam, has been relegated to the back of my rotation since it's more of a cool weather scent. however, it's also perfect for date night, which makes me super happy since i recently purchased the 1 oz. size.

sinn purete mandarin and orange
i purchased this fragrance on a trip to japan, after reading a recommendation to buy fragrance during travels so you're reminded of those memories when you wear it. i adore this fragrance but it tends to dry down with a heavy woody musk for me, which can be overwhelming in warm weather.

sinn purete blackberry and jasmine
this was a blind buy. this was not a safe blind buy. like burberry her, which i hated for about a year until it mellowed for me, i am hoping that this one will also be more likeable?

greenstravaganza
this was my second purchase and I wear it frequently regardless of the season. greenstravaganza wears clean on me and dries down to a cozy vanilla. i love the tea and jasmine notes.

dolce & gabbana light blue
i love a crisp citrusy green fragrance and light blue is no exception. this fragrance wears beautifully on my skin and i’ve gotten compliments on this one.

d’annam strawberry mochi
I purchased the discovery kit for d’annam’s japan set and strawberry mochi is by far my favorite (green tea matcha is a close second). this scent is cozy and slightly sweet without being too saccharine or loud (it’s what i was hoping for from kayali yum boujee marshmallow). the rice and red bean notes give it a pillowy softness to balance the sweeter notes. this is my favorite bedtime fragrance.
