Hook
Come with me to check out a fragrance shop that sells niche Chinese fragrances in San Gabriel. As a boy that was born and raised in San Gabriel Valley, I immediately knew I had to check out this shop when another creator posted about it, who I will tag. So let's go see what they have and hopefully pick up some fragrances. And we made it. So it is in a little bit of a newer, like quiet and hidden shopping plaza in San Gabriel, but it wasn't too hard to find. You have to park in a parking structure under the building and you just go up the elevator. And let me tell you, when I walked in here, it was amazing. It looks so good. But aside from that, there are so many freaking fragrances and you can already know that I'm super excited to smell all of these. The bottles were beautiful, they're so unique. I immediately got to smelling this one called Hugging. Smelled exactly like the picture and Autumn was very much like a woody, autumn, warm scent. It was really good. I also really like Taro Whispers and these bottles are so cute. Now like I said, there is a lot of fragrance to go through, so I do recommend coming multiple times, which I did. And some of their fragrances are sold out, like this one that smells like rice and tea. It's really freaking good. Like fragrances on fragrances on fragrances. And the greatest thing is most of them are at a reasonable price. They sit around like $70, $80 and I think the highest goes to like maybe 150. So with that price point, you know I picked up two fragrances. Alrighty, so here are the fragrances that I ended up picking up from the Cloudy Library in San Gabriel. I was supposed to get Rose Kiss. Rose Kiss was like a nice, juicy, kind of fruity rose. It had like a leathery or like suede aspect to it, so it was kind of like a more on the elegant side of roses. I don't have a rose that I wear right now. I do love the smell of like rose water, rose petals. I love fresh rose and this one was one I really enjoyed. And then the second fragrance that I ended up loving and also picking up was Altay's Snow. So Altay's Snow is like a powdery, musky floral. It does also smell kind of like laundry-esque. It reminds me of my grandparents when they used to like clean in the like the laundry room and how it would smell. It's like very powdery, clean. Like this one, even though it is like powdery and very much like low popier without the rice snow, it has like a clean facet to it that I feel like makes it different. That's what I loved about this. That's what I loved about the whole shop. A lot of their fragrances were very unique and I love smelling new things and so it was like really an experience and I can't wait to go back. I'm sure there's things that I missed that I really want to pick up. It's really nice and I really love it. If you are interested in trying out cool, niche Chinese fragrances, which I've never seen anywhere else, definitely go check them out. It was a super cool experience.
