Weird perfume review #3.

.

I was looking forward to trying this particular scent as it’s one of the company’s best sellers.

.

.

And as usual, the reviews/comments made me chuckle.

.

.

.

.

But when I sprayed a little on my arm… I almost choked. The first undertones to hit my nose? A bizarre combination of moldy books, burnt plastic and powdered sugar. Imagine a bakery in an abandoned industrial warehouse. Donuts infused with hot welding shards and burnt rubber. Yes, it was that bad.

.

.

It definitely smelled metallic, like a vanilla drive shaft.

.

.

Mix in some dried grass (vetyver) and a touch of gum resin (opoponax) and the result was downright disgusting. I can honestly say I’ve never washed a perfume off my body before… but I couldn’t stand more than 10 minutes of this one before I attacked my arm with a soapy loofah.

If I didn’t know better I’d say this scent was meant as a gag gift. With the emphasis on gag. 🤢

Self respecting fat electricians around the globe should be insulted.

Weird perfume review #2

.

Perfume sample #2 from my box of sarcastic scents is Divin’ Enfant.

.

.

Enfant is French for child, and after one whiff I’m betting Divin’ means divine… because that’s exactly what it is.

.

.

Fabulous…. in a delightfully odd way. Crisp and light, with a spicy almost honeyed base and just a hint of baby powder. I don’t know who wrote the description, but I smell neither leather or cold tobacco.

.

.

But I understand the angel demon reference. This scent is both sweet and sultry.

.

.

I honestly don’t smell the orange or peach, more like a rich creamy vanilla…. but either way, the #2 sample is rich, multi layered, long lasting and getting a definite thumbs up from me.

.

Perfume with a sense of humor.

.

My box of crazy French perfume samples came today.

.

.

And the company seemed pretty sure of themselves.

.

.

I’m not sure I actually need my perfume to rebel, but whatever.

.

.

The first one I tried….

.

.

Was definitely…. different. I know people who would like this scent, but it was too heavily spiced and cloying for me.

.

.

Medicinal camphor, incense and prunes. What’s not love?
