Do you have any good perfume recs for summer/general wear?
OH BOY - YES I HAVE MANY
pls note: these are going to be from sephora canada because i don't remember the last time i was in a shoppers or a bath & body works
these are mostly gonna be feminine fragrances with some androgynous ones... no masculine ones because i hate them im sorry
Yum Pistachio Gelato 33 - Kayali
» sweet and nutty; says it has vanilla but it's not noticeable. a good sweet scent for summer that's not as heavy as vanilla
Soleil Blanc - Tom Ford
» summer in a bottle. pricey, but lasts a long time on the skin. can be overpowering if you do too much
» gender neutral
Ocean di Gioia - Armani
» light and oceany
» gender neutral leaning feminine
You - Glossier
» don't bother spraying this on a blotter - just put it right on your skin. it will smell different on everyone
» personally, i hate this on me but everyone that i've smelled this one smelled delicious
Libre - YSL
» for summer, i would do the original EDP or EDT (not the le parfum or the intense since it might be a bit heavy)
» fun fact: they took traditionally masculine notes to make this perfume as a way of redefining femininity/masculinity.
Coconut Sun - 7 Virtues
» for the girlies (gn) that love vanilla but find that it goes funky in the summer, go for this bad boy. the coconut is nice but not like you doused yourself in the bumbum mists.
» (i haven't tried this because i am allergic to coconut)
Wood Sage & Sea Salt - Jo Malone
» gender neutral
» personally, i'm obsessed. it's really good to layer
Peony & Blush Suede - Jo Malone
» feminine without being girly
Poppy & Barely - Jo Malone
» feminine without being girly pt. 2
» i love this one for more fem days
English Pear & Fresca - Jo Malone
» absolutely delicious and gender neutral
» pro tip: layer with wood sage & sea salt
Indigo - Nest
» this is one of my top personal faves for summer this year tbh
» a sexier floral with a citrusy-ness to it. absolutely delicious
Wild Poppy - Nest
» girly and light. real pretty
Wisteria Blue - Nest
» haven't personally tried this out, but i know it's very light and fresh
When the Rain Stops - Replica
» i've been wearing this all summer it's so so so good - it’s just a staple and has been my go-to for warm weather
» gender neutral
Under the Lemon Treen - Replica
» haven't tried this one out due to allergies, but it's super popular. light and citrusy
Skin [Reserve Blend] - Clean Reserve
» "your skin but better" vibes
» i wear this whenever i work in an office or with kids. 12/10
» gender neutral leaning feminine
Sparkling Sugar - Clean Reserve
» not as sweet as you would imagine. it's quite peachy and light
» great to layer with Skin
Pear INC. - Juliette Has a Gun
» juicy without being overpowering
Not a Perfume - Juliette has a Gun
» same as the glossier perfume: don't bother spraying on a blotter, just try it right on your skin. it will adjust to your skin to make a unique scent
Sailing Day - Replica
» very light and fresh
» gender neutral
Lotus Pear - 7 Virtues
» juicy and fresh, a bit sweet and absolutely delicious
Sun Shower - Skylar
» it's green tea and citrus. it's fucking scrumptious
» gender neutral learning feminine
Salt - Ellis Brooklyn
» gender neutral
» ocean vibes
Sunkissed Hibiscus - Nest
» citrusy and floral
L'Imperatrice - Dolce & Gabbana
» light and peachy
General Notes:
» always try perfume on your skin. start by spraying on one of those blotters to see if you like the initial scent, and then spray on your skin to see how it sits on you
» if you want to know what the dry down will smell like, that's when you can rub your wrists together to break down the top notes
» if you find perfumes too heavy in the summer, go for an EDT or a cologne. they'll be lighter than an EDP or a parfum
Personal Notes:
» jo malone has so many that i could put here but i refrained
Snorkeling and seeing all those animals + animation classes? Your vacation sounds super fun! 😌
*Sneaks in the thought of snorkeling and seeing sea life with Hange*
HI BEAN! <3
it was so fun! i forgot to bring my underwater camera with me, so i didn't get any pictures *sobs*
slfjkjhbvdhjfbv don't even get me started - they would've had a blast and would have been so adorably excited! probably would bug the people with all their questions LOL all the staff would be like... how does this person keep stumping me with all their questions? you'd have to tug hange away so you could atually go do the activity and to let the poor staff breathe!
they 100% get sunburnt on their back from forgetting to sunscreen up before snorkelling (they were a bit too excited, but can you blame them?)
note: i'm super sorry if i forgot anyone🥺 it's not that i dont like you, i just have a wee brain and a terrible memory🥺 if you want, you can dm or send an ask?
@miekasa -> mikasa, mikasa, mikasa. she'd balance out mie's crazy and we really need that in this life. also a 12/10 ship name. friends to lovers, drunken confessions, 12k words, all pining and fluff with a pinch of smut.
@celestidarling -> is there anyone else besides izuku? sweet beefy bf x tiny sassy gf? sign me up. you know he brings her flowers every friday night after his patrol is over.
@blondeboyfriend -> zeke. was this really a question? they're like,,, the hottest couple around, hello? funny, smart, and sexy. someone send me the link to their OF.
@oh-katsuki -> i'd be a fool to say anyone except katsuki. they're literally canon. i see him on the dash, and only think of cal.
@sugawara-sweetheart -> yuuji, 100%. nura gives me shy and sweet vibes, and i just think yuuji could really help with your confidence and help you to be more outgoing and care less about other people. the absolute definition of a sweetheart couple
@fairyfuyu -> megumi. honey gives off very cute and sweet vibes, and i just think it would work so well with him. you know those couples that are like: ones always in pink, the other is always in black? literally them. 20/10 aesthetic and cuteness.
@tsukidrama -> tsuki and annie sitting in a tree. k-i-s-s-i-n-g. the only canon annie ship. the couple you see and are immediately intimidated by them by their sheer badass-ery and hotness
@princesatoru -> satoru, duh. he loves how soft and easily flustered bun is, and would 1000% abuse the power that he has to make bun flustered.
@icecreamranwich -> you're going to sit there and tell me that mica and levi aren't already married? yeah, right. have you seen the way that he looks at her? literal heart eyes.
@dearbraus -> sasha!!! fawn and sasha go on cute foodie dates alllll the time. you can often find them in sasha's car, bubble tea in the cup holders, as they play games on their consoles. their bed is practically all stuffed animals at this point
@asmos-pet -> levi. acquaintances to friends to lovers, slowburn, 30k words. all pining and fluff, no angst. the fic i read for the banter and very cute domestic moments.
@bokutobabie -> reiner. he has a problem saying "no" to syd :(( he just wants to keep her happy and he does a really good job at it. the type of couple you look at and immediately know that the big beefy man is whipped.
@therealvalkyrie -> is this even a question? of course it's levi. i mean, i attended their wedding so???? they're the couple that goes out every sunday to the cute cafe by their house to drink tea and enjoy each others presence. they do this well into their old age too
@katsuhera -> i just think atsumu and hera would be so, so good. she could rein him in and he could get her to let loose a bit and be more unapologetically confident. university sweethearts <3
@bokebelle -> now hear me out.... connie. i think they'd just be so fun together and absolutely chaotic. they love each other so much and aren't afraid of letting people know. they're also both freaks pls send me the OF link
@6oldie -> armin!!!! they have dates where they sit and play pokemon together. they're just overall the couple that is so so cute and sweet (but they're secretly the biggest gossips pls - they go on dates to gossip about people)
@6ird6rain -> you're going to sit there and tell me that when you see/hear allie you don't immediately also picture her boyfriend porco? insane. couldn't be me. as far as i'm aware, they're in a long term relationship and practically married at this point.
@aces-high -> zeke, duh. they both just have this, like, classy late night mixed with some cig smoke vibe to them. the kind of couple that unabashedly flirts with each other at the bar like they're trying to pick each other up, as if they're not already dating
@plutowrites -> megumi. i just think his vibes would compliment pluto's vibes so well. they're the couple on campus you always see and are jealous of just how... domestic they are. he's always getting pluto her fav drink for when they study.
@belavender -> i only know bela and mikasa. that is the only couple ever. isayama confirmed them to be canon years ago, and it's time more of you start appreciating them. they're sexy and smart and just absvlhbdl i love them vm
@honeymaki -> kitty and hange. hange would just take such great care of kitty, and vice versa. they help to keep each other grounded while supporting one another to the fullest extent. also we all know hange is buying kitty so many stuffed animals pls
@bunny-xoxo -> yuuta. they're so, so adorable. can't you just picture them hanging out in the library on campus, or at the cafe with the cute baked goods and latte art? yeah <3
