Another one from my actual Scent Split sample order: Zernell Gillie Disco Perfume Extrait. I paid $5.95 for the 1 ml sample after my discount; the full bottle is tagged here. This was part of my little music-inspired fragrance experiment, and I’m holding the verdict until I’ve worn it properly instead of judging it from the first spray.

Another actual Jomashop buy from my receipts: Lattafa Khamrah Eau de Parfum, 3.4 oz. I paid $26.99 after the coupon and bought the full bottle—not a sample. This is the exact listing and UPC from my order, so it’s an easy one to save if you’re comparing affordable fragrance finds.

Three Colombian shopping finds I loved enough to chase down again: Zaga shoes, my camel Vlez leather jacket, and the Medelln fragrance stop that kept me researching after I left. Colombia was not cheap, and I did not pretend every stop was worth it.

The other Zernell Gillie scent in my actual Scent Split order: House Perfume Extrait. I paid $5.95 for the 1 ml sample after my discount; the exact full bottle is tagged here. I bought this with Disco, Hip-Hop and R&B as a tiny music-inspired fragrance lineup. Proper wear test first, honest ranking later.

I ordered the same fragrance in two 1 ml samples because I wanted to answer one question: Crystal Saffron EDP or Extrait? I paid $5.95 for the EDP sample and $7.65 for the Extrait after my Scent Split discount. The full bottles for both concentrations are tagged here. I haven’t picked a winner yet—I’m wearing them side by side before I post a real comparison. Which one would you expect to like more?

One more from my actual fragrance order: Zernell Gillie R&B Perfume Extrait in the 30 ml bottle. I paid $102 at Scent Split; the same exact bottle is tagged here at Revolve. The note list is such a mood—honey tangerine, guava, papaya, Bulgarian white rose, white chocolate, cedar and amberwood. I haven’t done a proper wear test yet, so I’m saving the verdict for a real review after I’ve lived with it.

Two more fragrances from my actual Jomashop order: Lattafa Bade’e Al Oud Amethyst in the 3.38 oz size and Ajmal Aurum in the 2.5 oz size. I paid $21.99 for Amethyst and $29.99 for Aurum. One is the deep burgundy bottle; the other is all gold and marble—very different shelf moods, and both were under $30 when I ordered. The exact bottles and sizes are tagged. I’ll share real wear tests after I’ve spent more time with them.

Two affordable Middle Eastern perfumes I actually ordered: Lattafa Khamrah and Lattafa Yara. Khamrah is the warmer spicy-gourmand one, with cinnamon, praline, vanilla and tonka; Yara is softer and sweeter, with tropical gourmand notes, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. I paid $26.99 for Khamrah and $23.50 for Yara at Jomashop, so I’d still compare prices before buying. Both exact bottles are tagged. I’ll share real wear tests once I’ve spent more time with them.

Another actual purchase from my perfume shelf: Valentino Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy Eau de Parfum in the full 3.4 oz size. I found mine for $109.80 on sale, so this is one I’d price-check before buying—the exact fragrance and size are tagged here. The pink studded bottle is gorgeous, and I’ll share a real wear test after I’ve spent more time with it.

From my actual purchases: I ordered this Self-Portrait Check Collared Knit Mini Dress in baby blue in a size M. The crisp collar, bow details, and tailored knit make it feel like an occasion dress without being too fussy. I’d wear it for dinner, a city weekend, or a dressier travel night with a white mini bag and pointed heels. The exact dress is tagged—it’s currently showing at $486 on Revolve.

This is the top I was trying to find in Colombia: Cubel’s Top Halter Canasto in brown—hand-knit with a basket-inspired texture drawn from the Colombian countryside. The runway styling is dramatic, but I’d wear the top with high-waisted black trousers or a simple midi skirt. It’s COP 870,000 (about $275 USD at recent mid-market rates). Saving the exact piece here for my Colombia shopping series.

One of the least glamorous things in my suitcase—and one of the most useful. These VINTAR Type C adapters give me regular outlets plus USB ports, so I can charge several devices without packing a tangle of bricks. I bring the two-pack so one stays by the bed and one goes in my day bag.

Cartagena humidity prep: polish, not perfection. I’m saving this Kérastase hair oil for dry ends, shine and a finished look through Walled City walks, rooftop drinks and my golden-hour photo session. A few drops is the plan—travel beauty has to earn its space.

Colombia shopping diary, part 2: the dress I couldn’t stop looking for. I wanted this faded-blue Isabel Marant Étoile Moe shirt dress—the cotton denim, utility pockets and tie waist feel made for city days and dinner after—but I couldn’t find it locally. I finally tracked the exact dress down online; since that version isn’t linkable in LTK, I tagged a similar Isabel Marant shirtdress below.

Colombia made me fall even harder for emeralds. I couldn’t find the delicate clover-style band I had in mind while shopping, but this emerald-and-gold look is still living in my head. I’m saving the exact inspiration here, with two tagged alternatives: one for the floral silhouette and one for natural emerald set in yellow gold.

Another Medellín fragrance find I didn’t expect to like: Dream Sea. It starts cool and airy with watery, ozonic and green notes plus black and pink pepper, then settles into white florals, rose, salt, ambergris, woods and vanilla. Clean, marine and still interesting—a good unisex gift for someone who wants fresh without smelling basic. Jomashop has the 50 mL bottle for $134.99. #fragrance #nichefragrance #Medellín

Colombia shopping diary, part 1: the perfume I kept asking for and couldn’t find. Jovoy Fire at Will is built around a soft, elegant vanilla, and I wanted to smell it in person before committing. No luck locally—so I tracked down the exact bottle online and saved the link here.

One of the most interesting scents from my Medellín perfume hunt 👀 Evil Angel 28.09 opens fruity, citrusy and rain-washed, then turns boozy with rum + whiskey, coconut, vanilla, tobacco and myrrh. I thought of Jade immediately—dark, unusual and definitely not a basic fragrance. Jomashop has the 50 mL bottle for $149.99 (less than I found it in Colombia). #fragrance #nichefragrance #Medellín

My little Coach Lara Mini in Gold/Latte ombré is exactly the kind of bag I reach for in Colombia: polished enough for dinner, compact enough for a full day out, and easy to carry by the top handles. The exact ombré is sold out, so I tagged the current larger Lara Satchel in brown—the same structured shape with more room and no purple.

One of the smallest things in my Colombia carry-on—and one of the most reassuring. This portable door lock adds an extra layer of security from inside a hotel or rental room. It packs flat, weighs almost nothing and takes seconds to use, so it earns its spot on solo trips and city-hopping itineraries.

Shopping in Bogotá and still thinking about this Cubel Top Halter Canasto. I found the gray version in size M at MALVA—the texture is even better in person. It’s hand-knit with a basket-inspired pattern rooted in Colombian craft. Cubel currently lists the same style in brown; the charcoal top tagged below is a similar shoppable option, not the original Cubel piece.

The travel power bank I keep reaching for when outlets are scarce and full travel days run long. It’s compact, flight-safe, charges fast at 45W, and the detachable USB-C cable means one less cord to dig for. A small, practical upgrade that earns its place in my personal item every trip.
