In this video I’m over at my friend Amy’s house (Savor Salvage Scent) and we do a blind smell test with pairs of fragrances that, to me, are *almost identical*. I’ve been reorganizing my collection and grouping my scents, and it hit me how many of them “quench the same thirst”—even when they’re wildly different price points. So I put Amy in a blindfold, sprayed strips, and had her talk through what she smelled in real time (with cats and chaos as moral support, obviously). We start with the most shocking twin moment: Aqualina Pink Sugar vs Truly Unicorn Fruit. Even though the note lists aren’t the same, on skin they’re close enough that I genuinely don’t think you need both. Then we get into the “sisters” category—like Clinique Aromatics in White vs Elizabeth and James Nirvana White—where the vibe is similar (clean, spa-ish, uplifting) but the personality is a little different. My biggest takeaway: preconceived notions ruin everything. I had discounted some of these as “not me,” and smelling them fresh (and letting them dry down) reminded me that my taste has changed—and that giving a fragrance time can completely flip your opinion.
