Perfumes!

Hello lovely smelling ladies,

It can be a challenge to find nice perfumes in Japan and you also have to navigate the cultural differences in what’s acceptable to wear in terms of sillage (I would like to know if anyone has been brave enough to wear Mugler’s Angel here. Personally I haven’t).

Which ones do you recommend?

There’s a few examples of the perfumes that I wear here and some I even got complimented on by Japanese people.

These are:

Jill Stuart Eau de white floral: beautiful clean, princess-y floral scent. Unfortunately it doesn’t last well.

Dior J’adore: clean, elegant, flowery and a bit soapy. Got a compliment about this one from a Japanese mom at my son’s school.

Zara Fields at nightfall: very milky jasmine scent, lasts really well even in humid Japanese summer weather. Not a crowd pleaser because of the lactic notes though.

Zara Nobody Knows: woody mixed with coconut. Smells expensive and unisex. I really love it but the silage can be a bit overwhelming.

I just ordered Lataffa Tous Yara because everyone is talking about it and I want to know what the hype is about.
