Reservation Parfums Riviera Californiene is an odd perfume. It’s odd because to me it smells unmistakably like a straight forward excellently executed to***co perfume whilst not having to***co or anything close to it listed. In fact the notes listing seems like it’s for a different perfume altogether. Perhaps a little of the amber coffee but nothing aquatic or saline. Nothing curried to suggest immortelle.

Either way. It’s fantastic. Smells grand. But it DOES SMELL OF TO***CO.

I took this photo 5 years ago. And this bottle is basically empty now. I’m wearing the last few sprays of it today. It has served me well. Farewell.

There’s a reason I don’t make flat lay photos. And it’s a simple one. They’re a monumental pain the hoop. It is so absurdly time consuming to produce them that I can never be bothered. But something between boredom and depression following another mediocre showing by Manchester United prompted me to make this…

Can you spot anything you like? Or indeed dislike? I’ve had a bit of a thing about Noir De Noir recently. I’m not sure why it never really appealed to me earlier but the spicy rose and patchouli is pushing all the right buttons for me of late.

I think 2 of the perfumes on this were gifted. The others were bought by me. Sorry kids. Your inheritance is being frittered away.

Getaria is a salty slightly sweet perfume. It’s a little odd like half and half popcorn. Or like a candy floss fog on the docks at dawn. It’s delicate and delicious and somehow ethereal and spooky. And yet it’s also pretty full bodied and thick around the middle. A mass of oddly contradictory aspects that work as a peculiar whole. It’s really very nice and I have particularly enjoyed wearing it to the gym for some reason. I think it’s the salty verging on skin clean sweat side of it that makes it work.

Introduced my nephew to this one today. He was going to spend money on a bottle of Imagination. Which for a 16yo is madness. So this is the alternative. Obvs not remotely similar but as a great value fresh perfume it’s peerless.

What’s the best value perfume you know?
