Vanilla perfumes for all vanilla lovers. This note is sweet, warm, sensual, and definitely a reliable crowd pleaser. It’s good to have a few vanillas in your collection as they make great choices to use as a base for layering with other fragrances even if you don’t want to wear a vanilla on it’s own.

also I know ppl hate vetting ingredients, but also want to know what I mean when I say Bad Ingredients, and I’m generally talking about the stuff that’s pretty high on the “might irritate skin” to “I WILL give you cancer and that IS A PROMISE” scale. this is the list I refer to when ingredient checking

So when i originally picked out colognes for the ibvs boys, i just kind of went off whatever i knew at the time instead of actual fragrance profiles and categories, which led to them all only being somewhat well aligned and just. not well organized all in all, but the SECOND time i did it, i actually made a chart of the fragrance categories and sorted the ibvs boys by seasons (fragrances are seasonal for anyone who didnt know) so i could align the notes easier; so, in my opinion:
Isaac is an autumn and leans towards woody orientals and, to a lesser degree, floral oriental; Edward is a summer and leans towards aquatic and citrusy notes; Drew could be an autumn or a spring and leans towards woody and soft oriental notes; Nevin is an autumn or a winter and leans towards orientals and soft orientals, Chris is a spring or a winter and leans towards dry woods and aromatics (and probably gourmands tbh), and Barry is a spring who leans towards greens and citruses. good lord that was a lot but were not done yet because i have a few actual colognes picked out for some of them :)
Santal 33 for Isaac; simple and woody, a little spicy and a little floral; not super complex, but this fragrance is super iconic amongst fragrance lovers.
Black Phantom for Chris; I can't NOT give a gourmand cologne for Chris. That would be borderline criminal. The notes of alcohol and tobacco align quite nicely with his daddy issues if i do say so myself. (Also, Ky mentioned ages ago that Chris would be the coffee lover of the boys, and i just remembered that years later)
Kingdom of Dreams for Nevin; When i fucking tell you it took me 7 million years to find a good smoky cologne for Nevin. Jesus H Christ. Anyways. Warm, earthy, and smoky notes just give me an image of either a bonfire or a ritual in the deepest part of the woods gone horribly wrong. either way, it's fitting for him, and i love it.
Light Blue for Barry; One of. the hottest colognes I've ever had the pleasure of smelling. 100% a Hot Guy cologne, I, too, would trust my darkest secrets and personal information to a guy if he was wearing this. 10/10 I would wear it, but unfortunately, it's not a fragrance for me.
Acqua di Gio for Edward; A very, VERY popular cologne, truly iconic, he is the moment, i swear to god 90% of guys have owned this cologne at some point, but it is popular for a reason. I think it would he hilarious if Felix also wore this simply because it fits almost every category of guy.
and lastly, Dead Sexy for Drew; The fragrance notes on that image simply say "woody," so you would assume the vanilla and sweet notes would be dominant ones, but this 100% smells like moss on decaying trees in the most Drew way imaginable. I can not believe this wasn't tagged with aromatic because that is absolutely the best way to describe it. It smells like how the sun dries the moss on old trees after days of heavy rain, and it's one of my favorites.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk, this has been Chris Combining His Hyperfixations Together Like Playdough.
The warm wind and the sun weaving through the constant rain during the past few days gave me a sudden and unexpected craving for soft, rosy fragrances. Light, powdery, fresh and pink. Pretty and elegant.

Discontinued Fragrances: Pleine Lune by Ulric de Varens (1995)
From the same house that made the celebrated and popular chypre Varensia (1994), Pleine Lune remains very obscure, there isn’t even a listing on Fragrantica.
LaParfumerie tells me the top notes are pineapple and orange blossom, middle notes are amaryllis, jasmine, and almond, and base notes are honey, caramel, vanilla, and chocolate.
Came across a partial bottle for very cheap and I’m so glad I did. “Full Moon” is a soft vanilla floriental. My first impression was that it smelled like a 50/50 blend of an ultra sweet, Angel-esque gourmand of today and a big ‘old lady’ oriental of yesteryear. One foot in the past, one foot in the future. I’ve fallen hard.
I tested it before reading the notes, and didn’t work out that the fruit in the opening was pineapple. The pineapple here isn’t tropical or summery like you’d expect, it’s the warmth and sour-sweetness of a pineapple upside down cake. Behind it, there’s a powdery old school floral, vague and mysterious but big and loud, with a whisper of bitter almond, all working in conjunction with a backdrop of ooey melted caramel. And it sticks around, the scent itself is fairly linear, there isn’t much of a journey, but I wouldn’t want there to be. It’s perfect. I want to eat it, I want to sleep in it.
I love the astronomical, world-by-night packaging. Pictures don’t do it justice, but the bottle is lovely: frosted glass textured like a topographical globe, front and back. I wouldn’t call it a nighttime fragrance exclusively, but I’d happily wear this to bed every night, it’s that soft and comforting.
Great staying power, I’m thankful, and projection here means nothing to me, as long as I can smell it on myself, I’m happy. This is the first discontinued fragrance I’ve fallen completely head over heels for and I’ll be searching like a hawk for backups since it’s so obscure.
Sweet and nostalgic, “Cry Baby Perfume Milk” captures the spirit of the girl who is playfully innocent, but conceals an irreverent edge. The first impression is a complicity of dark fruity notes, while strawberry milk and a lipstick accord are layered to contrast the dark fruits. The heart of, “Cry Baby Perfume Milk” invites you to experience innocent darkness while Melanie’s childhood memories are evoked through a soft, nostalgic baby lotion accord. Feminine yet mischievous and unapologetic, the base of the fragrance is wrapped in a sweet layer of burnt caramel complimented by a blend of sinister woods.
