Has anyone had any dealings with the Parfums. Never seen there website before but they popped up in the Shop app looks like they are a decanter out of Salt Lake City Utah. Prices and on par with Aura and Olfactory but have a better selection of niche stuff.

This is Dua's version of Room 1015 Wave Child, which I haven't smelled, but I have been really wanting to try this DNA. Thanks to @Blake Merl for hooking a guy a up with this sample. For the first minute it reminded me of a milky melon body spray. For my asian fam or those experienced in asian foods it was close to the melon milk drinks in the green juice box. after a minute, I got hits of citrus, coconut, and a warm faint chocolate in the base. Yeah this stuff is good. @Frank Barnett I can see why you like this one a lot. This is another beach, pool party vibe frag

It’s been a not so fun couple of sick days. So I’ve been trying a bunch of things including the new ATH and some new decants I have to try more. Since my nose was broke supposedly. Lol Hope all are well.

A brand-new release for this year, MYSLF L'Absolu is a Spicey/Woody Scent from perfumer Christophe Raynaud. That’s the guy responsible for the JPG Scandal line. This is the third addition to the YSL line following the original 2023 EDP and 2024’s Le Parfum. A more intense and spiced version of the original. Even the bottle is the same although the shiny polished finish makes it a smudge collector. It’s a beautifully crafted scent, I have noticed that it does leave an oily film on the back of my hand when testing. So I’m assuming there is a fairly higher than normal concentration here! The opening is the most noticeable departure from the original. It features a prominent and invigorating blend of ginger & cardamom, which adds a fresh, spicy & slightly quality. This is balanced by a hint of bergamot, carrying over the clean, citrusy feel of the original. At the heart, the signature orange blossom note from the MYSLF line is magnified. YSL claim too source this from their Ourika Community Gardens in Morocco. This note provides a clean, floral, and almost soapy or "fabric softener" like quality although I would suggest this is more to do with the Ambrofix that is lurking in the base notes. The dry-down is anchored by a generous overdose of patchouli, which is not overly earthy or dirty; instead, it's more of a "suave," warm, & sensual woodiness that provides a solid foundation for the scent. I’m also picking up Lavandin in the dry down. This is probably my favourite from YSL too date, although in fairness, this is only my third bottle. Performance is stellar with an easy 8 hrs on my skin, it projects for just under 3 at arm’s length before becoming a skin scent. But this comes at a premium. A 100ml bottle at my local will set you back €155. They did through in a gorgeous leather YSL branded toiletries bag and a 7.5ml travel splash bottle to sample which was nice, but we aint chasing bag collections here, it’s the juice that counts. My Rating: 8/10 Scent: 2.5 Longevity: 2.5
