Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
three fragrances I got because of how good they smelled on someone else. First is Santal 33. I actually smelled this in high school on someone and became obsessed with the scent but I didn't know what it was at the time. And then maybe two or three years ago, I smelled it again in a bottle and instantly knew what it was and I just had to get it. And this was actually the fragrance that first got me into the hobby. I think it's this really nice, almost paper-like, dry wood scent. This was actually my first ever signature scent. Next is Angel Dust X Ray by Fugazzi. I had tried the EDP before and I was familiar with Fugazzi, but then I smelled this on a sales associate in Nordstrom the day they released it in stores. Not knowing that they had just released it and I asked what fragrance she was wearing and she said it was their new release and I tried it and I really, really enjoyed it. So I ended up getting it. I think I like it over the EDP originally because I think it stands better on its own, whereas I prefer the EDP for layering. You get pink pepper and cashmere on that. That just feels really comforting. But I don't find this fragrance to be too heavy. I think it's versatile enough to wear for the majority of the year. And then third is Alto Astral. I actually smelled this on a sales associate in the Byredo store the day they released it in stores. Not knowing that they had just released it and I asked what fragrance she was wearing and she said it was their new release and I tried it and I really, really enjoyed it. I think it's a fantastic coconut, musky, aldehydic fragrance. It's like that white t-shirt fragrance, but on vacation. I love coconut and I enjoyed this fragrance because of that.
