citrus summer perfume collection! 🍊⛱

like pure sunshine and happiness in a bottle! i am, of course, fashionably late for this collection, but i don't really care lol. this one will be a much smaller collection than my haunted doll one because i don't have the energy to do another 50+ scent collection again.

notes: lemons, oranges, grapefruits, yuzu, tangerines, bergamot-- anything goes as long as it's not limes (sorry limes, it's not you, it's me) if it has some semblance of vitamin c goodness in it, it's fair game.

yes, there are not one, but TWO essentially sweet lemon candy single note scents in this list. it's because i'm a slut for lemons. sorry not sorry about it.

ARCANA - butterfly rabble (Delicious cupcakes infused with our hand-extracted lemon essence, vanilla oleoresin, silken wings, lemon frosting accord, candy floss, and soft bergamot.) currently available limited edition.

ARCANA - the stars (A twinkling cascade of sparkly aldehydes over a soft, grassy meadow accord, pink pamplemousse, juicy mandarin, young green stems, vegan sea silk, bitter orange, olibanum resin, rich ambergris, cool mountain air, and sheer honeydew melon.) currently available limited edition (edp only)

ARCANA - chalchiuhtlicue (Fine bergamot, Pacific mist, mermaid silk, soft ambergris accord, blood orange cotton candy, white iris, wild herbs and sea salt.) permanent collection

ASTRID - carousel (lemon cotton candy) currently available limited edition

ASTRID - sultan's high c lemonade (a drink of oranges, lemons and vegan honey accord) currently available limited edition

BPAL - white cat (bourbon vanilla cream, mallow flower, golden musk, with eyes of lemon amber) currently available limited edition

BPAL - lemon scented sticky bat (sticky-sweet iced lemon sugar!) discontinued

BPAL - erotic sake bowl (Pink grapefruit, sugared yuzu, lemon leaf, raspberry, Queen mandarin, and plum blossom) discontinued

CIRRUS - alibi (passionfruit, orange blossom, guava, strawberry yuzu lemonade, and a dash of coconut cream over a rosewood base.) summer collection, available until sold out.

CIRRUS - parakeet (Fizzy grapefruit soda, freshly picked daisies, tiny forget-me-nots, and the powdery sweet down feathers of a well groomed parakeet) summer collection, available until sold out. (this this one will be discontinued)

DE - unrequited (black sandalwood, juicy raspberries, bitter orange, the sting of black pepper, smooth silky musk, deep dark amber, and a drop of smoke patchouli.) permanent collection (i really like this one, surprisingly enough!)

HEX - slice of life (sweet florida orange, fresh, salty ocean air) soon to be discontinued

NA - bastet's amber solar summer (White Ginger, Cold-pressed Ruby Red Grapefruit, Lemon Sugar, Purple Sugar accord, Blood Orange, Crystalline, Raspberry and Bastet’s Amber Absolute) limited edition, soon to be discontinued.

NA - demonseed cake (Italian Lemon E/O, Candied Lime Zest, Bergamot E/O, Black Poppyseed, Marshmallow, drop of clove and a hint of White Musk Cake Batter. Reformulation 2023 with seasonal Lemon E/O, Bergamot and Candied Lime Zest) permanent collection

PIERROT - baby longlegs (Lemon pound cake, Madeline cookies, vanilla bean, sandalwood cream, salted butter) permanent collection

PIERROT - bussy (A yummy blend of orange blossoms, orange peel, fuzzy peach, fresh linen and 70s musk.) permanent collection

PIERROT - this side of the blue (Sour lemons (pith and all), ozone accord, Iso e Super, clean salt accords) permanent collection

and there are, of course, a shit ton more citrus scents, but frankly-- i can't list all of them. i have compiled like,,, 80ish? in this google doc i link if you're really interested ☆～（ゝ。∂）

[fragranticareviewers]

What have you got for someone who wants to smell like the absence of a person. A fading memory of a face long forgotten. A present reminder that the present is already past the second you get to think about it, and that the time has moved on since it started and will continue to do with or without you. The creeping feeling of dread when you realise that you might never remember what you forgot because you cant remember that you once knew it in the first place.

(I found a key in my room and genuinely have no clue WHAT IT IS A KEY TO? I TRIED EVERY LOCK I CAN THINK OF. The key has a diy neon yellow beautiful strap so it must be important. But i cannot remember...)

enjoy

[morutemartyr]

death and floral’s “the people you love become ghosts inside you” also come to mind

(Heavenly musk, lingering funeral flowers, cold scent of vanilla in an empty corridor, handprints on a foggy window.)

they’ve been closed since early this year due to a move unfortunately and i’ve never seen this in a destash anywhere so it might be a while until its available again.

[morutemartyr]

the end of my search for the holy jasmine grail ends with deconstructing eden’s jacqueline it’s amazing. positively stunning, it smells exactly like the jasmine tea i drink, i was so tempted to get a fs right off the bat but i held off just in case but WOW, i never have to look for a stunning jasmine ever again. even my mom loves it too, and that’s a huge plus, deconstructing eden you have my whole heart i love you

[morutemartyr]

back to back holy grails with arcana’s two finger ballet 🙏 (A delicate blend of French vanilla creme, white amber, sugared vanilla beans, caramel, and the smallest dab of opium.) i smell absolutely fucking delicious, downright edible, no other vanilla can compare in my mind. usually caramels don’t play nice with my skin chem but this one certainly does, and i’m so glad— i’m cherishing this one forever.

scent of the day: alkemia's moroccan tea

may 16, 2025

(An elegantly understated yet intriguingly exotic blend of delicate pekoe tea leaves infused with a touch of fresh spearmint, osmanthus flowers, and gunpowder matcha tea from a Moroccan recipe.) as of writing this review it is currently unavailable for purchase :(

such a lovely and true to life rendition of moroccan mint, like opening a bag of it and smelling it. it's so lovely and fresh, the mint is not overwhelming and there's this sweetness provided by the osmanthus flowers that prevent the mint from becoming too spicy.

moroccan mint is one of my favorite teas to have in real life too, and this is like a love letter to this very special tea. simple, but lovely-- there is nothing boring about this perfume at all.

the perfect pick me up for hot and humid days, absolutely refreshing, delicate but strong all the same.

projection is a little more subtle than other alkemia fragrances, but i can smell it and that's all that matters.

5 mint leaves out of 5

scent of the day: alkemia’s aurora

may 15, 2025 (ha you thought i forgot didn’t you? well i didn’t.)

(A luminscent skin-but-better aurora of soft cashmeran, orris root, cardamon infused coconut milk, white amber, white musk, white violet, white ginger, lotus flower, and a touch of honeyed cream.) as of writing this review it is still available for purchase

there was something a little tannic when opening the bottle again, i think it might’ve been from the ginger? but that quickly melted away after settling onto skin. this is, dare i say, alkemia’s best “skin” scent by far.

luminae was boring, and moon lust turned into a pure sour urinal mess on my skin, affaire de coueur? encircling flame? ghost fire? they all pale in comparison to aurora. the only one(s) comparable to aurora is probably paradise but i’m not talking about that right now.

aurora is the perfect mix of alkemia’s famous white ambers, delicate— almost creamy in nature but without ever becoming boring thanks to the bright kick of ginger. when they say “luminescent” to describe this perfume, they don’t use it lightly. it’s like the pearly shining lights of heaven distilled into a bottle. this scent hugs you in an embrace of fragrance akin to being swaddled in a soft cloud or a well beloved woolen sweater.

the orris and coconut and violets all play nicely here and they don’t ever veer into full on setting powder territory, and i notoriously have much trouble with alkemia’s honey notes (once again, it turns into piss on my skin) but it is a delight here. wonderfully sweet without being cloyingly so.

this perfume is everything a skin scent should be, in my honest opinion. there is none other out there quite like it.

5 soft clouds out of 5
