nest indigo
i reeeally wanted to like this one. i was drawn to the tea and cashmere wood notes but the fig is just too sweet and overpowering for me.


replica from the garden ⭐⭐⭐⭐
a lovely green bright scent, heavy on the tomato leaf. i love this one, it smells so fresh and summery, im grateful for the patchoulli base notes warming this otherwise very floral scent up a bit.
im surprised i dont mind the geranium. it's a weird one to wear in the fall/winter and doesn't check all my boxes but it's been my favorite so far!


nette la vanille ⭐⭐⭐
first on the list is the first higher end scent i purchased from sephora last year- thus staring my journey for my signature scent. i really like the idea of vanilla- sweet, warm, inviting- but many are very artificially sweet and cloying.
the vanilla is very mature in comparison. it's a very strong scent, the salt and floral notes are sharp and a little went a long way. it stung my nose a bit. i used the whole 0.3oz bottle but i don't think i'll repurchase...
