    Continued testing of my Osmofolia order in prep for my larger review post in a few days! Today is Olfactorium, which was included as one of my free samples. I’m slightly disappointed in this one, only in that I wish it was stronger. It’s a really nice creamy coffee with a bit of sweetness. I get the parchment and peppercorn when wet, but it fades really quickly. I have to really put my nose to my wrists to pick this scent up after a couple hours of wear. But today is a stinky warm science day. So I might have sweat some of it off in my PPE. I’ll probably post my reviews tomorrow after my final wear test.

    Today, I am wearing Fantome’s Lyudmila (Ruby red grapefruit, jasmine sambac, rich vanilla, hinoki, a drop of dark dragon’s blood, bitter orange, and a sprig of rosemary) in the oil format. I get dark red grapefruit with a sharp citrus smell when the perfume is wet. The sharp citrus note becomes more of a background smell after the perfume dries down and the jasmine note becomes stronger. I usually don’t like jasmine, but Fantome’s jasmine note really works well for me because it’s deep and smooth. There’s also a bitter edge to the perfume, but it’s not a prominent quality. Overall, I’d describe this perfume as a dark floral perfume that leans feminine.
