Holy Berry Extrait by D’Orsay- launched 2025 @dorsayparis
Perfumer: Tanguy Guesnet

10/10 LOVE- a must try
Hey guys hope everyone is doing fantastic- Keri💗

Holy Berry evokes the comforting sweetness of childhood treats and classic powdery florals, but the structure is warm, modern, and streamlined.
It has that “just one more sniff” quality. People will lean in to catch the trail. In the air, the strawberry milk creaminess along with the jasmine and white oud come together in the most seductive way. Close to the skin it’s intimate and comforting yet in the air it becomes ethereal, intriguing, and quietly commanding.

Let’s break it down:
🍓 It opens with a soft, almost edible caress. The strawberry milk accord is gently sweet but filtered through a veil of sophistication. Cardamom immediately spices things up with a warm aromatic breath, adding an intriguing twist that keeps the sweetness from feeling juvenile.
💜As it blooms, the iris concrete and jasmine absolute bring powdery elegance with a rich floral depth. The iris adds a cool, suede-like softness while the jasmine is heady with a narcotic sweetness and a hint of natural indole.
🪵At its core and in the dry down, the white Oud accord takes the lead. It is refined and luminous- woody, slightly smoky and beautifully smooth. Paired with a rich vanilla and sandalwood, it creates a warm addictive base. It feels expensive, mysterious, and endlessly compelling. by @keridestito

Blond Redhead 16.11 by Neydo- launched 2024 @neydo.perfume

What a great blind buy this was. Created by Bertrand Duchaufour. A master of complex compositions with innovative artistry and in my eyes one of the greatest contemporary perfumers. @bertrand.duchaufour
How could I go wrong?

Let’s talk about it…
This opens with the lightest kiss of saffron. It feels golden, subtly leathery, and almost powdery. It’s threaded through juicy orange and lime that fades straight into ripe, honeyed dates and lush fig nectar, creating a deep jammy sweetness that’s irresistibly edible yet refined. Vanilla and chocolate bloom at the heart, rich and velvety, turning the composition into something you want to inhale again and again.
White tobacco adds a soft, hay-like warmth and a whisper of sophistication, while myrrh brings a resinous mystery that keeps it from feeling to straight forwardly sweet. Freesia and rose introduce a delicate, almost creamy floral elegance that lifts the gourmand base into something intriguing and never cloying. Driftwood anchors everything in a dry, subtle woody embrace.
The overall sillage is a warm and enveloping trail. Unique in how the fruity fig and date accord dances with the chocolate, myrrh and tobacco trio adding an addictive almost incense-like depth. by @keridestito

Soleil Neige by Tom Ford- launched 2025

Good day guys! Another beautiful sunny day here in S. FLorida.
I hope you are all well and smelling fabulous 🤍

So I picked up the travel spray and went from there. Here is my review..Enjoy 🤍🫶🏼🤍

This fragrance opens like a whisper at dawn. Light filtering through sheer linen curtains in a minimalistic suite. Airy bergamot and creamy orange blossom mingle with the soft , earthy sweetness of carrot, creating a cool brightness that feels effortlessly fresh yet refined. It’s never sharp or tart but gently luminous and uplifting.
Jasmine petals unfurl with quiet elegance, adding a charming floral heart that remains intimate and skin-like. The overall composition evokes a luxurious body cream: velvety, comforting, and perfectly chic. Imagine a fine cashmere lotion that leaves a subtle glow of sophistication.
As it settles, benzoin and labdanum introduce a soft, resinous warmth that rounds everything into cozy harmony without heaviness, balanced by the clean, enveloping musk. It radiates quiet confidence and approachability, like a timeless piece of understated jewelry that enhances rather than overwhelms. Unfortunately its presence fades sooner than hoped, disappointing actually, but in those fleeting hours it delivers pure delight. A gentle embrace of cool luminosity kissed by tender warmth.
I obviously layer the shimmering body oil with the all over body spray and the perfume! by @keridestito

Coeur de Jardin by Miller Harris- launched 2015
Perfumer: Bertrand Duchaufour
@millerharris
Have a beautiful day fragrance lovers- Keri 💗
It’s been some time since I’ve posted. I’m back and I’m hope you enjoy my quick review!!

Imagine drinking a spritzer with prosecco, elderflower, and soda water with a slice of lime and lemon. Sitting in an English garden with lush white dewy romantic florals and budding roses surrounding you. The easel is set up. Your palette and tools are arranged just so. A delicious snack of pears, peaches, and vanillic angel food cake is served. The brush strokes are soft and velvety like the quiet embrace of patchouli and moss-kissed woods, powdery and warm with an ambered glow.

🍚Rice Rice Rice🍚
What is the allure of a rice note used in fragrances? It delivers a gentle, hug-like warmth and familarity. It’s the perfect quiet gourmand that feels calming without being heavy or overly sweet. It can add creaminess, powderiness, and a subtle savory depth that can round out woods, florals, musks and even milky notes. I enjoy the subtle understated elegance.
Give me your suggestions below⬇️ of a fragrance with a prominent rice note! Have a wonderful day- Keri 💗

These are some of my “Feel Good” fragrances

I’d love to know some of yours! - Have a blessed day friends-Keri

These feel effortless, familiar in a comforting way, and easy to wear without overthinking it. They aren’t necessarily the most complex or the boldest. They are the ones that create an emotional lift.

There’s no sharp edges, no heaviness weighing them down. Everything blends smoothly- no note fights for attention. They’re the fragrances you reach for when you don’t want to think- running errands, lounging, casual days, or even as a reset between heavier scents.
🤎Cuir Beluga by Guerlain @guerlain

Silent Symphony by The Gate Fragrances Paris - launched 2026 @thegateparis
Perfumer: Jordi Fernandez Hello lovelies! Enjoy my review and the accompanying pics and fun video I put together-Keri 💗 STORY TIME 🍍 The small seaplane touched down on the glassy lagoon, the only sound is the soft lap of water against its floats. You step onto the untouched white sand of a remote Caribbean cay- no large resorts, no crowds, just dense green jungle meeting the sea in quiet harmony. 🍍A gentle breeze carries the first note: crisp, tart green apple mingled with bright bergamot, like biting into a slightly underripe pineapple still warm from the sun. It’s the scent of arrival- fresh, alive, and sparkling with an aquatic clarity that feels like sea mist on your skin. Clean, elevated, and effortlessly unisex. 🍍You walk along the hidden shoreline where turquoise water kisses the sand. The heart of the fragrance opens light and creamy, there’s a dry fresh coconut and a soft pina colada accord that drifts through the air, never sweet or heavy. Instead it feels sunlit and breezy, balanced by the cool mineral touch of the ocean and a whisper of green moss from the shaded jungle edge. A subtle thread of caramel adds depth without feeling cloying. 🍍As the sun begins its slow descent, the dry down settles around you. Smooth vanilla and amber glow like distant lantern light, grounded by a soft musk. It’s intimate and refined- the scent of quiet luxury, of moments stolen far from the world. The End I am grateful and thankful for the team at The Gate for sending me this fragrance 🙏 💛 by @keridestito

Vibrato by Sospiro Perfumes- launched 2022
Perfumer: Christian Provenzano @sospirointernational

Hey guys! Enjoy my story time review- Keri 💗🌱

🌱The golden hour was painting the Intracoastal in soft pinks when I stepped onto my balcony. I reached for Vibrato, one spray across my collarbone and wrists, and it bloomed beautifully: bright grapefruit and bergamot sparkling like Florida sunshine, instantly softened by creamy jasmine, magnolia and velvety orris powder. The ginger and herbal notes add a gently spicy lift, while the powdery sweetness and masculine-leaning cedar-musk base makes it feel elegant and grown-up on my skin.

🌱I wore it to an early dinner with friends, celebrating a new chapter. The radiant scent bubble turned heads without trying. Hours later, walking along the waterfront, it was still going strong- citrus-ginger freshness grounded in warm patchouli and clean musk.

🌱What really won me over is how the orris and powdery notes soften the whole composition. They add this velvety, almost creamy sweetness that rounds out any potential edges from the citrus and ginger. You have this herbal freshness wrapped in a chenille blanket-still crisp and uplifting, but now luxurious and grown-up! I find it absolutely addictive💚

Almond Suede by Arquiste- launched 2024 @arquiste
Perfumer: Calice Becker 🤎LETS START FROM THE BEGINNING ✨The opening felt bright and spicy-citrusy from the bergamot and pink pepper that was quickly joined by bitter almond and honeycomb. The orange blossom and neroli came across soapy which for me clashed with the emerging powdery almond-suede. Fast forward 2-3 months later. That unsettling contrast mellowed out and became the fragrance I was hoping for. ✨The heart is where the beauty lies. Saffron adds a luxurious, slightly leathery-spicy thread. A textured, earthy accord along with labdanum brings a resinous warmth. The almond becomes more chewy, starchy, and powdery like fresh marzipan pastry, while the florals soften into marshmallowy fluff. ✨The warm powdery suede in the dry down takes center stage, enriched by vanilla absolute and candied sugar. The pine tar keeps it from being purely sweet.
✨It feels like a soft, tanned leather jacket dusted with almond powder and a hint of golden honey-vanilla. It’s radiating, cozy sweet warmth leaves an elegant trail. #keridestito #arquiste #cozyfragrance #nicheperfumes by @keridestito

Architects Club by Arquiste -launched in 2014
Perfumer: Yann Vasnier @arquiste

Happy Monday lovelies- Keri 💗

🤎The vibe is refined, intimate members-only club at dusk in a grand old library or wood-paneled lounge. Cozy yet effortlessly stylish, like slipping into a cashmere sweater while holding a perfectly chilled martini.
🤎Cozy and rich from the vanilla/amber/woody base. Think whipped, smoky sweetness with amber drizzle that lingers warmly on the skin. It has a soft talc-like elegance while the woods keep it creamy and well rounded.
🤎A shimmering ribbon of juniper, citrus, and angelica dance across the top and occasionally peeks through the heart. The result is more dynamic and multifaceted, luxurious, and addictive.
🤎Think elegant and chic thanks to the polished structure and refined enough for day-to-evening wear!
