Here's what I tried on days 22-31:
Day 22: Bottega Veneta -- This was unlike any other fragrance I have and was quite complex and interesting. It is definitely spicy, and I wasn't sure I liked it when I first sprayed it, but I really liked the dry-down. It ended up being one of my favorite samples of the week.
Day 23: CLEAN Rain -- Now, maybe it's because the sample card was a greenish teal color, but this smells "green" to me. I don't know how else to describe it. The Sephora website describes it as "an aquatic floral." I didn't care for this one.
Day 24: Prada CANDY -- I expected something fruity or sweet with a name like "Candy," but it is a soft, warm, spicy scent that I really liked. I couldn't stop smelling myself. My husband saw me smell my arm and asked what I was doing, so I explained I was smelling this awesome perfume, and I made him smell it, and he really liked it, too.
Day 25: Acqua de Gioia by Giorgio Armani -- This is a citrus floral to my nose. It was light and crisp, and it seems like it would be a great summer scent, but I only kind of liked it.
Day 26: JIMMY CHOO Flash -- This started off as a spicy floral that had a sweet dry-down. It seemed a little strong, but was very long-lasting. I did like this one.
Day 27: philosophy Loveswept -- This is a light floral that felt sort of generic and inoffensive (if you love this scent, please don't be offended by that statement -- this is simply my opinion of this fragrance!). I was, unfortunately, not swept away by this one, and it faded into nothingness quite quickly.
Day 28: Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black -- This is quite a masculine scent, in my opinion. I really wanted to like this. I thought wearing it would up my cool factor. Unfortunately, it was too sandalwood-y for my liking, although I thought the dry-down was ok.
Day 29: TokyoMilk Dark Tainted Love No. 62 -- Maybe the name is influencing my description of this, but I would say it's a dark, warm floral. It starts out more floral, and gets more incense-y but softer as it wears. I wrote in my notes that it was "mysterious." I definitely liked this one.
Day 30: Gucci Guilty -- It's described as an "oriental floral" on the little sample card, and I don't have a discerning enough nose to disagree. I liked this one, but it was pretty much gone by the end of the day.
Day 31: Chloé -- The sample card says this is a "powdery rose." I definitely agree with that description, as it seems quite rose-y. I kind of liked the top notes, but it faded fast and I couldn't even smell the dry-down (bottom notes).
Favorites of the week in descending order: Prada CANDY, TokyoMilk Dark Tainted Love No. 62, and Bottega Veneta.
So, overall for this month:
My first tier favorite fragrances were Burberry Body, Dolce by Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci Flora Gardenia, Gucci Première, and Prada CANDY.
My second tier favorites were I ❤ NY by Bond No. 9, Thierry Mugler Alien, Marchesa, and TokyoMilk Dark Tainted Love No. 62.
I think found some new fragrances to add to my collection during this challenge. Burberry Body and Prada CANDY might find their way onto my vanity.
I would like to than Rebecca for creating this challenge. Even though I will now probably go and spend money on more perfumes.
