Empicca's Territory

Wow Charlie has been around for a while. I might have smelled it when I was a teen but I can't remember what it smells like. My favorites always get discontinued so now I buy a lot for different seasons or outings, travel size and samples, never getting too attached to one scent. I did splurge on a big bottle of one I fell in love with though... Y by Yves Saint Laurent. https://www.tradeinn.com/f/13728/137281822/yves-saint-laurent-y-100ml-mini-10ml.jpg Technically men's but considerably "unisex" and used by everyone like CK One and Eternity. I also love Aqua di Gio by Armani but it's now ruined by people I knew who wore it. One being my best friend lol. I feel like it's his scent so I can't wear it. Strictly feminine scents I have come to love are Coconut Cove by Skylar, J'adore by Dior, Be Delicious by DKNY (plus I love the apple bottle), Juliette Has a Gun.... I'm forbidden from buying anymore. New goal this year is to actually finish a bottle. Oh and something from Burberry is a must for Fall and Winter. Love those scents.

The scent profile for Charlie Red is crazy. Usually only see about 5 or 6 components but this one has a lot. Top notes are orange blossom, gardenia, plum, blackcurrant, violet and peach; middle notes are carnation, tuberose, orchid, jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley and rose; base notes are honey, sandalwood, amber, musk and cedar.

@verucassault wow thats a lot of perfumes hkhk cant experiment or buy a lot cause it will only trigger my allergies or will give me headache. Im already happy enough tho with my Charlie Red perfume discovery. I dont know much bout Charlie’s history, but even my 90 year old grandma knows about its existence. XD Guess it is ancient. Also considering that the authentic one is really hard to find here these days. Hkhk.

Status: Delivered! The perfume samples are here. Tbh I cant differentiate each one of them. They all smell sweet. Marshmallow-Vanilla combined kind of sweet. But Im happy its not the sweet type which gives me headache or triggers my allergies. I think Im ok using em. But Charlie Red is still top tier for me.

5 hours + 1 hour + 1 hour Time Check: 12:08AM Im finally home ❤️

(((The sad thing is is those are just the ones I can remember the names of, lol... I have several others for fun that I recognize by bottle thinking oh this is a summer scent *spray, spray, toss*.))) Some women have a thing for shoes, some for purses... mine is definitely perfumes and cologne.

@verucassault oooh nice haha if I ever get to the mood or have extra budget in tryin out new perfumes/colognes would def ask for your opinion. hkhk. side story: lately i be seeing tiktok videos of perfumes w super extra/aesthetic kind of packaging/containers/bottles or whatever hkhk idk if theyre worth the hype :o but def good for display

@verucassault @criselington eyeing this perfume lately lol this was released years ago, but was only reminded very recently. Lol. This is the Luster perfume by Nadine Lustre. Im a big fan of hers being an all around actress. Today I bought 5ml sampler only. Hopefully it will pass my standards as well. Hahahuehue. :’)
