    Floral Street is really great! I love their Sweet Almond Blossom fragrance sooooo much. Blood Oranges by SHAY & Blue also really good. maybe i like food fragrances 🤔

    I gave scentbird a try and really like it, i love trying out different smells and the vials they send last me a really long time.

      I was intrigued about Sweet Almond Blossom, so I went and read the description. It says:

      A fruity, floral, gourmand perfume. A blue sky natural high, all year round. A daydreamer’s fantasy. A fragrance for the enchanting, ethereal, sensuous and hypnotic.

      Smells like… Mouth-watering natural pomelo and juicy passionfruit float over clouds of delicate apple blossom. Creamy vanilla, sandalwood, and nutty tonka bean are beautifully balanced with explosions of other-worldly crisp green matcha tea.

      … none of those words are almond, which is a surprise. From the name, I’d imagined this would smell like a floral marzipan, but the description doesn’t sound like anything almond at all. Do you think it smells like almond? Because if yes, I’m intrigued to try it, but if no, I’ll skip it.

        i have never smelled an almond blossom so i have no idea if it smells like them. I wouldn’t say it smells like almonds at all. It smells very sweet and almost flowery but doesn’t quite reach a flower smell.

        There’s definitely something yummy/edible to it though when i rub my fingers where i sprayed and rub it across my nose it’s like i was handling cookie dough almost. or fruit?

        It doesn’t smell grandma flowery it smells sweet and yummy flowery, if that makes any sense at all.
