 =====Smells=====
-I don't wear extra smells much, but I'd like to try more. I think I prefer skin smells over ones that have a lot of projection.
+I've been learning lots about perfumes, trying a new sample every day, really enjoying it.
-I had [[https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Jovan/Jovan-Musk-for-Men-7469.html|Jovan Musk]] when I was a young fella. I've always liked musky smells. Don't know where it went, can't actually remember what it smelt like. It's super cheap!
+I'm documenting things on a blog: [[https://plog.ryliejamesthomas.net/|Perfume Log]].
-I have [[https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Frederic-Malle/Monsieur-32590.html|Monsieur]], and really like it. Smells like a peaty [[whisky]]. Wintery, nighty. Very strong, I usually only spray a little bit, like two sprays, or even just spray it kinda indirectly (apparently this is a CRIME). Not great if you're going to be dancing/sweating. Reading about it: the main smell it patchouli.
+My favourite is still //[[https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Frederic-Malle/Monsieur-32590.html|Monsieur]]//, which I got for a birthday present a few years ago. As a more casual alternative I like //[[https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Goldfield-Banks-Australia/Wood-Infusion-47953.html|Wood Infusion]]//.
-My partner has [[https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Diptyque/Tam-Dao-Eau-de-Toilette-3956.html|Tao Dao]], and I like it's cedary, sauna smell.
+I'm trying to find a fresh Summer smell, trying lots of things with citruses and fig leaves.
+Would also like to find a favourite musky smell, as I generally like those.
+I also like wearing sweet, pink, powdery smells at home at night. I like //[[https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Miller-Harris/Powdered-Veil-51605.html|Powdered Veil]]// and //[[https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Etat-Libre-d-Orange/Divin-Enfant-4514.html|Divin'Enfant]]//, but am still looking for others
 ====Strawberry Shortcake====
