[masterlist] Tested & Reviewed Scents
Alphabetical by category, then name (hierarchy = LE - GC - BPTP). Use ctrl+ F to find a specific review. Discontinued general catalogue scents are listed under their original categories and indicated by a [*D] notation (some remain listed under the subheading 'discontinued' and will be moved to the correct group eventually). Scents preceded by a double asterisk [**] are wishlisted, and I will always be open to buying or swapping for these.
Most of my reviews use a five star rating system (★ - ★★★★★), which incorporates half stars where necessary (½). A general - but not always exact - guide to my ratings is as follows:
★★★★★: Beloved favourite, will always keep 1 or more bottles where possible
★★★★½: Love, will always keep an imp where possible
★★★★: Like a lot, would recommend, will rotate with other regular scents
★★★½: Like, would recommend, would consider repurchase
★★★: Like, but do not find original or imaginative, probably wouln't repurchase
★★½: Ambivalent, would not recommend or repurchase
★★: Dislike, would not recommend or repurchase
★½: Strongly dislike, would not recommend or repurchase
★: Unwearable, washed off immediately
