Friday - Freaking Gorgeous

Friday FG smells like wheat cereal with milk and is very much a “you but better” scent. This one was my favourite out of the bunch of things I tested at the mall today (which included NR All of Me, very disappointing, but alas I digress). Friday - Freaking Gorgeous reminds me of: Memo Paris Siwa - The Zara scent is less lotion-like and more generic vanilla in the dry down. Zara is actually closer to Siwa than Amour, IMO. Friday FG is easier to wear and hurts less on the wallet. Kenzo Amour - The Kenzo scent is drier but on my skin the two are almost indistinguishable during the first 15 minutes. Kenzo smells more starchy and woody, like a rice husk or something. To a lesser extent, Zoologist Harvest Mouse (the distant third cousin who runs a brewery) - The Zara scent smells obviously much less niche, is less rich but also easier to wear. Much lighter than Harvest Mouse, less choking. It doesn’t particularly smell like Hypnotic Poison, which is vanilla root beer to me. Friday FG is a perfectly cuddly, cozy, subtle scent that is all about warm, milky, wheat cereal rather than almonds. Great alternative if you don't want to spend the big bucks on Memo or Kenzo.

since I haven't gotten the chance to try it, could anyone tell if it is similar to Kilian - Rolling in Love? By the notes and the descriptions it sounds like it could be! edit: thank you for the kind response @handkmommy! It fits perflectly on what you described it, just got a chance to try it, reminded me of a more sophisticated version of an almond soap we used to have at home! It's like a cozy and soft sweater on a winters evening! Lovely! Vanilla and almond (more like almond milk) dominant (has hints of 90's/00's makeup, but in the best way possible), a slight vanilla drydown stays on my clothes for days. Not overpowering, easy to go noseblind on it. have been using it for around a month, so far one of my favorite everyday perfumes, feels so comforting every time i put it on. edit2: have had it for two months now, every time I spray it makes me feel like i'm wearing a cozy sweater. I like to layer it with Cherry Smoothie (I have the first version 100ml bottle), makes it more dessert like, the cherry turns into more of a cherry-cinnamon notes.

This is such a cozy clean girl fragrance, I love to spray it after a shower and before bed. I love love love this creamy lactonic almond vanilla scent, I just wish it lasted longer. I use one of those tiny refillable perfume sprayers from tiktok and carry it around with me to respray if I want to wear it. Even though its quite a light scent, I love wearing creamy soft fragrances in the winter as well. Feels like I'm being wrapped up in the softest silkiest cream-colored blanket. When I first bought it I was dismayed at the bergamot in the opening, it was stronger than I'd anticipated, but it dissipates in about 15 minutes after you spray it, and it gets softer over time as the fragrance macerates. Overall, huge love. Can't wait to get my hands on more woody-lactonic fragrances. 9/15/24 update: After about a year of maceration, this has gotten stronger and more long lasting, and only gotten creamier. That strong bergamot note in the opening has faded even further into the background and the florals in this have come out more. Simple yet beautiful.

This is truly freaking gorgeous! It's really well blended so none of the the notes stands out individually. It smells warm and maybe on the nutty side, I feel like it envelopes me like a warm white chocolate drink (not in the notes at all). It's creamy and just slightly sweet, like the sweetness of fresh milk but doesn't give out lactonic smell. As it dries down there's a mellowing woody smell as well. This is just a warm and cozy scent and gives a lot of comfort. Longevity is excellent on me, lasts whole day on skin and few days on fabric. Projects quite well too at least I can smell it when I'm wearing it but not sure how far it projects to others (not from a culture where strangers comment on one's perfume and I WFH so...).

I dnt smell rose or bergamot. This is a warm and cozy almond husk scent. Definitely more for the fall than the summer but i can see this worn on a cool summer night. You could easily layer this with a cherry scent to create a jergen's cherry almond. This is not a gourmand scent. It does not smells like almond pastry or marshmallow. It's not sticky or sweet. It is cashmere. beige barefoot dreams blanket, fresh from the dryer. Slightly boozy tonka bean. True creamy vanilla comes out more as time goes on. Zara home use to sell a shampoo bar that was simply labeled "almond shampoo bar" this smells exactly like this. There's a slight freshness to it. I suppose that's the bergamot that i cannot find. It's a great adult vanilla.
