Anyone else do this?
I've been having so much fun since I stopped reading scent notes.
When I fully grasped that at this price point its 100% synthetic fragrance oils (except the aromatherapy line which is a combo of essential oils + synthetic fragrance oils)
- combined in such a way that our noses/brains 'perceive' certain florals, fruit, food etc. and that the sole purpose of written scent notes is to steer our perception so we'll learn to first categorize and then recognize a particular chemical combination as (for example) 'strawberry' or 'amber'
I decided to just wing it.
I LOVE to sample FFMs directly on my skin and just note whatever I smell (not what I'm 'supposed' to smell) in the opening and during the dry down - at 20-30 minute intervals (noting longevity as well).
p.s. Wowzers! I can still smell Madame Mystique after 5 hours?!
