n,144

I ordered a four pack of samples from Noteworthy to try out some stuff from their brand, intrigued by their quiz and the scents they had in their repertoire. I tried their AI quiz, but like most AI products, it was somewhat unreliable and recommended me a perfume with a note I despise as its main focus. I decided to pick my own samples for my kit and selected a couple that I thought I would like from the quiz and some from the limited selection they had available when creating your own sample pack. This was one of the scents recommended for me from the quiz. Upon application, you immediately get a very bright and clean citrus, which is made delicate from the lemon blossom and very sweet with the vanilla. It’s simple but effective, and actually one of my favorite lemon perfumes I’ve tried so far. It reminds me of a lemon square (I love lemon desserts!), or like you’re standing on some beautiful terrace in Italy, looking at the ocean vista while surrounded by lemon trees while licking a vanilla ice cream cone (although this scent isn’t lactonic at all). I definitely think this is a great all-rounder for the summertime, and if you love the sweetness of gourmands and the tartness of citrus, you’ll really like this one. I definitely do!

Happy, bright, and sweet. 🍋 🧁 Yummy. I love it. My husband goes gaga for this scent. I bought the full bottle.

Such a simple fragrance. If you like sweet, creamy citrus scents, this is for you! This house makes very simplistic fragrances that are very likable and have mass appeal. They remind me of Jo Malone scents or the Aqua Allegoria line from Guerlain. I think they're a bit overpriced for what they are. The bottles are refillable and very simple. I think the "personality test" is a gimmick TBH because of the scents sent to me I only liked two and one of them was my wildcard scent. 743, 249, 144, and 307 will probably be the travel sprays I purchase, if I purchase any. I really liked 290 but it has not longevity and disappears after an hour and becomes a skin scent. If this house considered lowering it's prices and selling 30 and 50 mL bottles I think they would be much more successful. Snif puts out many likable scents and offers simple packaging and testers but their bottles are $60, not $140.

I agree, the longevity on these are awful. They sell a Fragrance Extending cream too instead of reformulating their products. They are strong out of the nozzle and then poof! Gone. Even notes like ylang ylang and vanilla have no lasting power. 602 smells like a modern, non indolic Samsara but Samsara is nuclear and lasts 8 hours. I think these are more like Jo Malone EDC and if they want to survive as a business they need to increase their percentage of perfume oils. This company seems like it was made by venture capitalist and not fragrance enthusiasts. Heavy on marketing, “kits”, and your options are $40 for 8mL or $140 for 100mL. I think they need to go down in their prices if they want to truly be successful. $100 for 100mL and $50-$60 for a 50mL with $29 for travel sprays. They aren’t complicated fragrances, fairly common combinations, with a low perfume oil percentage.

Milky, Vanilla, Floral-Musk, Light Smells like slurping lemondrop slushie topped with a generous dollop of vanilla whipped cream while laying in a meadow in spring. It is sweet with a dash of tart, light, and creamy. While it is both citrusy and sweet, the vanilla notes tend more toward the sweet side, about 65% warm sweet and 35% fresh tart floral. I haven't worn this enough to comment thoroughly on sillage and stay power, but I imagine this may make a good layering scent to lightly sweeten and brighten another scent.

A beautiful light, bright, warm, and friendly citrus scent! It smells so fun and inviting - like brunch with your gal pals in a sun dress, laughing and drinking mimosas. This was my favorite of the samples I received, and I enjoyed it enough to order a FB! However, it is a fairly light scent that fades quickly without too much projection. If the juice was a little more potent with better staying power, it would be a "Love" from me.

I def fell for the advertising on this smelling like lemon gelato-- it is a very soft, feminine vanilla lemon scent. I LOVE the way it smells, but the longevity doesn't seem to last whatsoever. I love the way I feel when I wear this. I definitely want a full bottle, just to see if there's much of a difference. But the smell goes away after a few hours, it seems.

This is stunning the citrus and vanilla play well together here creating a soft fluffy fresh vanilla but not overpowering. I’d say definitely for daytime and for those that prefer softer less silage scents.

A pleasant, if not entirely generic and forgettable feminine leaning vanilla/citrus fragrance. Bright sparkling bergamot, androgynous white florals, and a vanilla sweet musk hit you when you first spray on the fragrance. This is easily the best part of the fragrance for me as all 3 players, the citrus, the vanilla, and the florals, all are fairly equal in terms of potency. Unfortunately, the dry down is a generic vanillin overdose supported by aforementioned white florals. It’s brutally ok, and smells very much like the stereotypical “vanilla forward feminine perfume”, so it’d make for a great beginner fragrance or gift for someone who isn’t super into fragrances. Not my gig, but it’s pleasant. 5.5/10

I sampled the entire noteworthy box and ultimately passed it and the voucher on to a friend. I could not get any of the scents I liked to last more than an hour or two on skin and only 3-4 hours on clothing. But hands down 115 was my favorite. I loved the opening and dry down before it faded into not even a skin scent. This began my journey for a good lemon/vanilla that did not lean towards floor cleaner. I have tried many and the closest I have found that have moderate sillage and longevity are DG devotion, akro bake (way more lemon than vanilla) and dappers sherbet lemon (dupe of house of sillage hufflepuff). All miss the mark as a dupe but are lovely in their own right.

This doesn’t smell like lemon gelato at all. It’s mostly a vanilla-citrus scent. Bit sun tan lotion, bit candy sweet. I think it leans more on the feminine side. I can imagine a guy wearing this for a party or on a holiday but definitely not for work. It’s alright, better than 307 for sure.

I took the quiz and each sample they sent was either a meh or fail. Maybe I’m bad at quizzes 🤷🏻♀️ IF you’re a lemon/citrus fan, I’d say this is a safe buy. The vanilla rounds it out.

Hello, citrus! In your face, sweet, sensual, bright. Wow, I can smell it two, nah...three feet away. For me, a big no! No wonder I could smell it outside the bottle. Incredibly loud. Surprising, given its sweet descriptors.

Not good, not bad but definitely not for me. I am glad I tried it but it’s got more of a toilet air freshener quality to it that just made it a “no thanks” for me.

It smells wonderful if you smell it straight, but with its power you might as well be spraying water on yourself

Update- this ended up being my favorite! I received a full bottle from the company and couldn’t be more thankful. This is so fluffy and elegant at the same time. Huge love. Testing from the discovery set I received based on their quiz - No 144 begins juicy and fruity. Reminds me of Jessica Simpson Ten which is a similar DNA I feel: white chocolate, clementine, starfruit, over soft woods. The drydown of this one is VERY pretty, a soft creamy vanilla lemon pound cake kind of scent. Not a heavy gourmand, it's light and lifted but also creamy. I think this may be my favorite so far, but I'm not done testing yet. I will be sharing a brand overview and my review of my 4 sample scents on my social medias (see my profile).

I love this sweet lemon fragrance. The lemon is soft and not bitter enlivened by the vanilla base. I would wear this as a spring signature scent if it lasted longer. I might pair it with Burberry Goddess to extend the wear time. I wish it was stronger because it really is a delicious, affordable perfume (compared to other sweet lemon perfumes like Xeroff Lira).

This fragrance reminds me of Britney Spears Fantasy Intimate Edition, except that one is sweeter, like a true lemon cake.144 is light and airy and the drydown is a beautiful lemony vanilla skin scent. It's nice but I'd much rather reach for the Britney for the price.

Bright, fluffy, and sunny vanilla with citrus with lush citrus blossoms and cloud like musks. Feels like a citrus vanilla in clouds in the summertime.

Aquatic, lightly musky, sugary vanilla and lemon. Very very sweet cloying vanilla, and light musk. Smells pretty dang good but not for me.
