Santal Majuscule by Serge Lutens
Years later I finally try this fairy tale ode to sandalwood and rose. Romantic and glowing this scent is serenity and sensuality wrapped together. Works equally well in heat and cold, easily a work horse scent for me.
Ninfeo Mio by Annick Goutal
A late find in the year but utterly original in the fig category and I can't wait to write more about it. A creamy tart green.
Un Jardin Apres la Mousson by Hermes
I love this weirdo of a scent. A tart and tangy watermelon scent with vetiver and cardamom.
Lolita Lempicka L'eau en Blanc by Lolita Lempicka
A powder puff of almond, raspberry, iris, and white musk all with hints of the original LL's violet and caramelized anise and vetiver. Perhaps the best flanker find of the year for me.
North by MikMoi
Such a lovely romantic spring promise, crystalline flowers that glow. And look a scent that was actually released in 2015.
No.19 Warm Carrot by Cognoscenti
The best warm embrace scent I have tried in awhile. The scent of warm spices and carrot has never smelled so good.
Ao by MikMoi
Still loving this a year later. I still consider it my favorite genius aquatic tropical scent.
Tudor Rose & Amber by Jo Malone
Hey look another 2015 release. A workhorse wine drenched spicy rose. Romantic and dramatic and has great staying power for a Jo Malone.
Vanille Botanique by DSH
The big diva vanilla that I did not know I needed until I tried it and then well I was completely smitten.
So that's what I wore the most frequently or had immediate utter love for. Some repeats form last year but a whole lot of new in the sense they were not in my wardrobe previously.

I usually find vanilla annoying but Vanille Botanique is a gorgeous, sensual, true to life vanilla scent. It even highlights the bitter aspects that usually go unnoticed by perfumers. I love it too.
Yes, that bittersweet aspect that you can smell in real vanilla beans is definitely found in this scent and really does make this one of the best vanillas out there.
Does Warm Carrot have cinnamon in it? I know carrot seed and cinnamon essential oil are stunning together!
I don't think I would describe Warm Carrot as having a cinnamon note. I think of it more as cardamon.
