Hmn. M's let me wander through and sniff/apply her Le Labo samples.
My pulls from her collection were the Santal 33 and the Ambrette 9, with an intention to sniff the Fleur d'Oranger 27, the Bergamote 22, the Neroli 36 and then see if vetiver still smells like 'nope!' in the Vetiver 46*.
*: Spoiler: yup!
The Santal . . hmn. Halfway between an Aveda salon's sandalwood and my favourite Arcana Soaps scent.
The Ambrette I amplify slightly more than M does, but neither of us are sure if we can actually smell the ambrette seeds or if safflower oil has a slightly nutty smell on its own.
I don't know if I just don't like the bitter note in neroli, or if this particular one hates my sinuses, but oy. That was not awesome.
Fleur . . did a weird oversteeped jasmine tea thing, then went artificial jasmine soap.
Bergamote embraced its bitter orange note like it was a check yes if you like me card with yes checked, then also went to soap. Interesting.
