Japanese Cherry Blossom was out in 2008. I had the wallflowers and was wearing it when I was in a near fatal car accident. It’s very strong and long lasting, the scent stayed with me for weeks in the hospital. Then when I came home and opened the door to my house and smelled the wallflowers I swear I had PTSD from it.

That is actually the older packaging of Warm Vanilla Sugar, a new one literally just came out! So maybe it’s more concentrated because the vanilla extract has been sitting and getting richer over the past year

I’m pretty sure JCB is their top seller. I think it appeals less to the younger crowd because it’s a more floral powdery one, and historically the older generation grew up with those types of scents. I actually like this one though. Especially after smelling winter cherry blossom it sparked my interest. Also I feel like JCB smells like the beginning of y2k 😂

But now that I'm older, honestly I can't stand the smell of it! I feel like every time I go into the store and try to like the smell again but I just dislike it the more each time. That being said I don't think it's a bad fragrance it's just not for me anymore

My furry babies are now 3,5yo. One crossed the rainbow bridge very young. Her name was Artemisia Nyx, Arty for short. She was the sweetest, cuddliest, funny little star). My two 3year- olds are both boys. The oldest by 5wks is Minós Apollo (Minós or Nossy) and his 'brother from another mother ' is Alexi Hermes (Lexi). I don't know if your name is referring to sth specific and/or has a reason, but mine are all named after historically important/well known Ancient Greek Kings/Queens / Emperors and an ancient mythological Greek god that suits their colouring and funnily enough their character too. (And yes, I have a BA & MA in history haha. I also studied in Greece, Crete for a semester. Minós is named after the first king of The Minoans -Minoan Empire - the one who built and lived at Knossos Palace near Iraklio, Crete. Alexi is named after Alexander the Great.

Well, after the umpteenth designer fragrance barely lasted an hour on me, my family or friends while having to save up for a year to buy it I went full on Zara! Applejuice costs me €10,95 for 90ml and lasts longer than the Chanel ! Polish brand La Rive and Greek brand Tommy G are next on my Dupe House to try - list. Oh, and I'm looking into the Arabian perfume houses too. Quite often their scents cost between €20-30 and last all day (well maybe not on my perfume eating skin, but they'll definitely deliver. )

@Ksenja you often say "I reach for it a lot." but knowing how many fragrances you have that's so difficult to envision (I mean, I have around 50, going on 60 + and know how hard It is to make a dent w/ that many ). Could you perhaps do a video like "Ksenja's perfume week " where you share what you wore each day of that week to work/ grocery shopping /bed/date night. If that's too much work, you could also rehash the tag #Showyourdents to let us know which fragrances, including the mists, currently have a dent. But... I do prefer the first because it also shows which scents are better suited to which occassion. PS . I have heard it say plenty times but I just can't get over the fact you can actually return *opened* fragrances in the USA. You guys don't realise how unique that is & how lucky that makes you.
