Note about Fright Night and Ignis Fatuus: I really enjoyed these but found them both way too intense for most of the year, with the warm weather. I gifted them to someone who lives in a cooler climate. I did eventually regret giving these away and repurchased Fright Night in 2025. I may repurchase Ignis Fatuus.
The initial exposure, from a grab bag of secondhand "indie" scents (circa 2020):
- Xocolatl - coffee essential oil, patchouli, cocoa absolute, whipped cream, sugar. This scent is amazing, and I still wear it regularly, even after having it for years. ๐
๐- Loved!
๐- Sold or Gifted
๐ซ - Untested
๐ฅ-Ugh!
Patterns: I'm apparently not a fan of white musk. Honey scents generally don't work out for me.
