Speedy review: Perfect Nonsense Figgy Matcha edp, ɓy Avon.

 If you're into fragrances that break traditions, this fig-meets-matcha unisex perfume passes the vibe check. It’s the perfect everyday matcha perfume that’s like a reset for your senses. Let’s get it.

A sensory plot twist for your senses - this floral green scent that's gourmand-adjacent will have you dripping in main character energy as you take metaphorical sips of creamy and sustainable matcha... then feast on our high-key juicy figs. An energetic yet calming floral green scent for a script flip you didn’t see coming.

Clock in early on this one… it’s serving scents that makes no sense yet arouse every sense… and it’s impossible to gatekeep. #JustSaying

I'm not a fan of matcha in terms of tasteq, but the other new addition to the Perfect Nonsense fragrance line really impressed me, so I'm ready to dive in in Figgy Matcha to find out if if ít can stand proudly next to it...

Speedy review: Perfect Nonsense Banana Oud edp, ɓy Avon.

 Ready to embrace the unexpected? Meet Perfect Nonsense Banana Oud Eau de Parfum - a scent collision that defies all fragrance norms.

1010, no notes - this fabulously fluid floral fruity scent with lush and velvety bananas and bright and bold florals give 'I just touched down from a tropical vacay’; whilst the deep, oud-inspired woods bring the mystery and gatekeep what went down.

Don’t sleep on this. It’s serving scents that makes no sense yet arouse every sense… and it’s about to go mainstream: A floral fruity niche fragrance I've for an unhinged and unbothered tropical noir aura.

It’s the perfect everyday perfume for static-free living. #NoNoiseJustVibes.

Banana and oud?!! I'm listening...

Kayali has a banana-based fragrance I've been lusting after, as well as a collection centered around oud, but this is much more affordable. But can it stand proudly next to them, or ìs it another "good but not great" from the Perfect Nonsense line?

Getting cheeky; Rhode Pocket Blush in Sun Soak.

 

A little blush for a little flush. Our on-the-go cream blush wakes up cheeks and lips with a satiny, diffused flush that melts on smoothly and stays all day. It’s a lightweight formula that hydrates skin for baby-soft cheeks and leaves a glowy finish without a greasy feel. 

I'm a big fan of the Rhode blushes, and love orange blush as an alternative to peach; peach shades look lovely and fresh on other people, but it just vanishes into my skintone.

I wanted to show it off now because I think that this is the perfect time of year for this type of shade - not that I don't wear it all of the time regardless of seaon, but the orange-with-a-hint-of-red gives late summer sunsets, crossing into pumpkins and bonfires.

Purrfect?: reviewing Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk | 22 edp, by Kayali.

 Sweet. Decadent. Creamy. 

Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk | 22 Eau de Parfum is a triple-dose caramel fragrance, purr-fect for gourmand lovers!

"This perfume started as an April Fool's joke, but the love we got from the community was so real, we knew we had to bring it to life! Our community has always been at the heart of everything we do, and Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk | 22 is the perfect example of that. Inspired by my love for caramel, I wanted to create the ultimate gourmand fragrance with salted caramel, caramel milk and caramel santal that felt rich, creamy, comforting and completely addictive," says Mona Kattan, Founder & CEO, KAYALI.

"When Mona first came to us with the vision for Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk, the concept was already vivid and full of character. Her vision was clear: a caramel scent that felt rich, creamy, and truly addictive, yet wearable and effortlessly layerable every day," says Clement Gavarry, Principal Perfumer at dsm-firmenich.

Forget the wishlist. 

Forget the one-out-one-in rule. 

The 2025 April Fool's joke perfume has been the surprise inspiration for the new Kayali fragrance release, so I preordered a bottle earlier this month...

Signs of change: the Scent From Above Hair & Body Mist in Signature Scent, by P.louise.

 

      Spritz your way to paradise with Scent From Above...   

                                                                                                               Indulgent fusion of sweet dragonfruit, delicate orange blossom, and rich tuberose. Fruity, floral, and effortlessly luxurious, this captivating blend envelops hair and skin in a sophisticated scent that lingers long after the                                                       final spritz.                                                                  

    I recently treated myself to the new Signature Scent full collection during a 30% off flash sale on the P.louise site, as the Obsessed For Less skincare products, micellar water range, and the Hair To The Throne shampoo & conditioner are all things that I've been using for the past couple of years [I've almost bought a fancy camera a few times to show off the results, but life keeps getting in the way]. I've also been using the hand sanitizers since they were first launched, and have had the majority of the Scent From Above fragrances & have enjoyed every single one. Anyway; £126 worth of products can be bought for the regular price of £55 [£45 for CEO tier loyalty scheme members], which is an amazing deal since the products are all superb quality. 

There hasn't been a P.louise fragrance in any of the brand's products that I've outright disliked - sure some have just been "meh" imo, but there hasn't been any that have been "eww - scrub it off immediately " types for me. Therefore I felt confident enough to just it dive into the collection at the deep end, and now that I've had plenty of time to familiarise myself with the fragrance, I want to share my opinion on it...
