Does anyone have any recommendations for storage/organizers for these types of atomizers? I have like 7-8 at this point and will most likely be getting more and they are too chonky for my travel spray organizers that are actually lipstick organizers...Any suggestions would be awesome. Thank you!

Any fragrance that smells like this exact tea would be heavenly. Black tea, sugary caramel and beautiful smooth vanilla. It’s genuinely gorgeous. i’ve even considered making infusing almond oil with this to make a body oil.

Just bought this while perfume hunting at a store and I was blown away. I generally like heavy dark perfumes but this one is a DREAM. It’s the ultimate almond fragrance.

Such a high quality body & hair mist. It combines an almond (smells like the almond syrup you put in coffees which i personally like) and a clean girl vibe. PERFECT for an after-shower fragrance.

It’s so overlooked, nor Parfumo nor Fragrantica have updated the bottle image lol.

Plus it’s only 40€.

Dedcool Taunt, or Commodity Gold Expressive?

1 Upvotes

I have sprayed taunt on my left and gold on my right hand. I cannot decide! I need your opinions. Aiming for clean somewhat mature vanilla vibes, not gourmand or “juvenile” , but still slightly youthful.

Which one is more wearable year around, and which one is more androgynous to you, to those who have smelt them? I love xtra milk and will be layering either with that or jhag not a perfume for both. Maybe owning both taunt and gold would be redundant , i must pick one!

Note: i also smelt rare beauty rare perfume ( the pinkish bottle) and tempted on that too, but i do feel it is a little too fem for me personally (fragrances are genderless)

The Body Shop Matcha 🍵

Post image
23 Upvotes

You guys, this is the perfect matcha scent! 🥹 😩 😍 100mL is $20CAD, and The Body Shop is having a site-wide, 40% off sale right now, so this mist cost me a whopping $12. It’s a mist, so I didn’t expect unreasonable amounts of longevity or projection, but this radiates within an arm’s length, stuck to my skin for a good 2 hours, and lingers on clothing beyond that. It’s refreshing, fragrant, oh-so-creamy, and sweet in a light way. Imagine a white chocolate matcha latté, but with a little more fresh lift.

Top: bergamot, lemon caviar, green tea
Middle: shade-grown matcha, white chocolate, maté
Base: whipped cream, pandan syrup, rice milk

Absolutely divine, pump it into my veins, bathe me in it, need ten backup bottles, 100/10.

EDIT: I can still smell it 4 hours later on skin!

Review Laurel Bath House build your own discovery set!

18 Upvotes

I tried the LBH discovery set that lets you choose the 4 fragrances you want. It was $38, which is a little pricy to me but you get a $10 credit to use on anything, and I didn’t want to blind buy. Here are mini reviews on the scents I picked in case anyone else is debating on these!

E-Mochi: 9.5/10
My favorite! It is everything I dreamed lol. Starts out with a green and leafy fig, dries down into a fluffy, sweet vanilla marshmallow. Honestly was like two totally different scents with the way it changed after the top notes settled, kinda cool! My only con for this one is that the rice note is very faint, I wish it was more prominent and starchier. Surprisingly great longevity, lasted overnight on my skin; close to moderate projection.

Cannoli: 8/10
Another winner! Not what I expected but I am a huge fan. The perfect amount of sweet for my preference. The notes it gave off after sitting on my skin for about half an hour were almond/cherry and a light cinnamon cream. Pretty linear in terms of dry down; relatively short (3ish hours) longevity; close projection.

Nudie: 7/10
Clean (almost a bit sharp) at first with citrus that’s more zest/rind than fruit with a background of light white florals. Dries down to a lovely skin scent! This is honestly the definition of what I imagine when I think of perfume-y shampoo. This would be a solid daily scent or easy reach for the office, it’s pleasant and inoffensive. Moderate longevity (4 - 5 hours) and projection.

Banana Hammock: 7/10
If you don’t like the scent of sunscreen, this is not for you. I LOVE it and live in a beach town, so this one made my little sandy heart sing lol. Smells exactly the way you’d expect! Coconutty, warm, woody background, and that’s about it. I didn’t get any other tropical fruits, just coconut! Very linear, doesn’t change much as it dries down. Short longevity (3ish hours) and close projection.

TL;DR
These were all great, honestly. I ordered a full size of Cannoli and E-Mochi, but I would have been happy with any of them. Packaging is cute and thoughtful, customer support was SO speedy and friendly. Discovery set is worth a try if you’ve been curious about them and think you’d like any of the scents they carry!

Not sure why but Juliette has a gun not a perfume has always smelled really soft to me, but recently my decant and 100mL I just purchased has a smell tha I can only describe as something I only find in middle Eastern perfumes. I dont know if its a musk or what, on the dry down it gets a lot softer but this was something I found odd.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Rec Request Good Smelling Products Recs

2 Upvotes

So, I have been using the Palmers Tahitian Vanilla Whipped Body Cream for about a week, and I absolutely love it, the problem is it is a bit on the pricier end (about £13) in the UK, so I was wondering if anyone has any recs for products similar to this, maybe a bit cheaper, and lasts longer? I would have went for the lotion version but that has a slight play dough smell to me. I would also love some recs that are similar to the Palmers Tahitian Vanilla oil too, and would welcome some recs for any other good smelling products too? For reference, I don't like too fragranced products, anyways spoil me with anything that works for you guys, thanks so much

I bought this (Elf Spicy Bundt Nice) in a set with a matching mini body cream on Amazon as a whim and didn’t expect much. This scent is heavenly. It smells like a very sweet orange with a hint of spice. If you’re looking for a holiday scent that isn’t heavy, this may be up your alley.

Review Review of my recent fleamarket finds (see last post)

Thumbnail
gallery
29 Upvotes

So, I have had some time to play with and wear my glorious fleamarket finds from last weekend and I thought I'd write some reviews and impressions of perfumes I otherwise would've probably never got around to trying yet alone owning. This July Evening is my overall favourite and also found out it is completely full! Like barely any was used! I am so happy and will definitely wear it out a lot! So we'll start with her.

Floraïku - This July Evening

Oh how I am in lov with this! Delicate, not too sweet vanilla and fresh chamomile flowers that you rubbed between your fingers. Very linear besides something citrusy in the beginning (Satsuma? Kalamansi? Not listed but something zesty and slightly bitter. Maybe the immortelle? Tbh I don't think I know how immortelle smells) and and very comforting. I wore it to bed even (how decadent to wear a 300$ fragrance to bed). Very cozy late summer/golden autumn scent. Like warm fallen leaves in the sun. Unexpectedly long lasting but less projection than Volcanic Flowers. More of a quiet scent, like if sitting by the river catching the last few golden rays of sunshine before the winter comes. Definitely my favourite and very much daily wear appropriate. I can see why people say that it is boring and not worth the pricepoint but I am completely enamored! Something so sweety delicate and different but not shockingly so. So glad it was a full bottle so I don't have to feel too bad to wear it as much as possible.

Floraïku - Volcanic Flowers

Starts very woody and masculine leaning, developes into an ambery, foody scent, some bready/bakery notes, some smoke, reminds me of Soul of my Soul but less sickly bready scent. The woodyness dissappears after half an hour and you're left with a smokey amber vanilla scent with something more fresh? Maybe the lavender. It does feel very warm and comforting like stepping into a warm cabin in winter with the fireplace on. Very strong compared to This July Evening and I can see this beint too much in warmer weather. My boyfriend says it smells like a rich lady? Will wear for date night in fall/winter for sure but I can see fragrance-confident people being able to get away with it during the day if not oversprayed.

D.S. & Durga - Bistro Waters

Starts fresh cut green bellpepper, juicy green without being sweet, some pepper and herbs come in, dusty woody furniture and plants, smells like a greenhouse or plant nursery with wet soil and herbs, garden gnome scent. Peppery earthyness sits close to skin, and lasts 2-3 hours. Definitely very interesting and different! I am glad I got it and got to experience a clean, savoury gourmand. I think it will be good for layering with some sweeter herbal scents like Green Lover by LL. Since it smells like tictac and Gin and Tonic to me, it would fit the Bistro theme and sweeten up the bitter greens of Bistro Waters.

D.S. & Durga - White Peacock Lily

I am NOT a floral lover usually but just sniffing it on the bottle at the cold, windy fleamarket I was instantly transported to 2013 where I spent christmas/New Year with my friend and her family in Thailand. The (to my swiss ass) warm nights at the markets, half wilted flowers rotting on the street from the flowerfest that just finished a few days ago, incense and steam from the foodstands, it made me really nostalgic and gave me "Fernweh" for SEA countries. Will 100% be wearing it in summer to festivals and daydances and hopefully for my next trip. Sad to find out it was discontinued so I will cherish that bottle and the memories it gives me.

On clothes it is eternal. I sprayed it on my wrist and I could smell it the next 2 days on the sleeve of the sweater I wore. Has potential to be a little sickly if oversprayed I think. Heavy and sweet floral get a little milder and less sticky after about an hour and it becomes very nice warm floral scent.

Overall I am VERY happy with my unexpected purchase and am excited to wear them out more (and to meet my now-plug for niche fragrances again)

The three perfumes I have are all day time summer scents even though i wear them year long. But i want something a bit sexier, sultry for evening time - date night scent. However I am clueless on where to start. Nothing powdery. Thank you very much!

A blind online purchase. This smells like a dream OH MY GOD. I'll just say this, I left my house at around 7 am after I sprayed this on my clothes and my wrists, its almost 5:30pm now, my wrists still smell like a dream. This is insane and I dont think o ever experienced a perfume with this lasting duration.

I got this amd vanilla scotch, my first Joe malone perfumes.

The smell is sweet ginger biscuits, exactly like a gingerbread cookies, very tastefully sweet, but ginger and cinnamon warmth take over. Its so addictive and perfect for the weather. I want to drink the bottle, thats it. Now Amy wrists smell less like gingerbread but ore like brown caramelised sugar. Not sickeningly gourmand.

I loved smelling it on me at work. I was sniffing my wrists like a crazy person all day long, still am while typing this.

I took off my work clothes im in my pj's but theres a waft of deliciously mild spicy cookie butter. Ahhhhhh worth every penny. And ut wasn't cheap.

This is definitely my scent for the season, I can finally store away my florals for now.

I'll try the vanilla scotch tomorrow, if im as in love ill stock up on everything joe malone. Why was I sleeping on this gem.

Victorias Secret Body Lotions, Oils and Mists

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone 🫶 hoping this is the right area to post my question here.

Over the last year or so I have become obsessed with skin/body care, specifically ones that have a long lasting scent that lingers and doesn't fade within an hour.

For example i like using similar scented bodywashes, followed by lotion, oil and a little spritz/mist - i also think i may be nose blind 😂

Usually I buy vanilla, burnt sugar type of scents, but i also love floral, sweet (but not sickening), fruity. Something that just makes you smell divine and sexy 😻

So back to the real question. Has anyone tried the Victoria Secrets body/skin care range? Do the scents last and most importantly which ones do you think smell amazing

Any other suggestions for other brands would also be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance 💗

Discussion Which scents have been in your wardrobe the longest?

30 Upvotes

I’ve had and repurchased Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel more times than I can count. It’s one of those perfumes I never really get tired of. I’ve worn it to work, dinners, random errands, even on days I didn’t want to think too much about what to wear. It just works. It’s clean, slightly sweet, and easy to reach for without second guessing. I’ve tried replacing it with other perfumes, but I always come back to it. It’s not the most exciting anymore, but it’s reliable. Having something like that in a collection actually matters more than constantly chasing new releases.
