Fragrance review #2: Versace/Versus Blue Jeans for Men

I think I’ve made it pretty clear that I prefer scents marketed towards guys much of the time, and the Blue Jeans is no exception; in fact, it’s one of my favorite day time I’m-trying-to-be-a-sophisticated-business-chit scent. I generally find the ones marketed towards women too sweet or smell too old for my baby face, and they don’t seem to work on my skin as well as some of the spicier male scents do. I will, however, do a review soon on the female-marketed scents I enjoy eventually, because they definitely do exist!

Now, Blue Jeans is a little weird at first, soapy on first open, with a weird, light sprinkle of violet sugar on top. There’s a hint of wood, but it’s mostly an odd lemon pepper flavor with the floral sweetness up top. It smells a little like mixing Sprite and Dr. Pepper.

On my skin, it’s immediately peppery, woody, musky, and citrus-y. It dries down into a woody floral on me with a spritz of lime and it’s quite interesting and distinctive. The sandalwood comes through as a touch of sweetness. It’s really quite nice. I’ve found that it lasts fairly long on my skin, up to 6-7 hours or so. I wear it basically every day and am thoroughly happy with it!

Odoro Perfume Review

Odoro is a new perfume company based in Columbus, Ohio. They reached out to /r/fragrance on Reddit a few weeks back and I decided to take the initiative and try them out, and I was not disappointed.

I only purchased three samples, but they actually sent me six in total. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it and the extra scents are lovely and fun 😀

Vanille Lune: Right out of the bottle it smells like a sweet floral vanilla, very tasty. It’s very subtle on my skin, but the vanilla obviously puts its foot forward immediately, followed by a rich buttery caramel, and what seems to me like a touch of lavender. Very, very pretty.

Jacinthe de Bois: Out of the bottle I get an almost coconut-like creaminess. On my skin it ripens to a honeysuckle-honeydew combination, and actually reminds me of an interesting macaron I had once that was flavored with violet with banana buttercream.

Shame…

This is going to be the base of my response to people who think I’m weird or straight-out lying because I’m open to talking about my past.

The first thing to defeat is thought.
