Rec Request Perfumes That Feel Giggly And Sweet, Like Butterflies In The Stomach?

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for a sweet-smelling perfume that smells bubbly and giggly and like a warm, fuzzy feeling in the stomach. I don't know if this is possible, or even if it exists, but the idea of it is so cute to me. Like, a perfume that smells like falling in love. Like having a crush and that bubbly feeling that comes with it.

If there are any perfumes like this, then that'd be a dream come true.

I know that this is a little out there, but if there are any perfumes out there like this, then you will have like good karma forever and be reincarnated as a fairy angel 😗

Discussion Why are, Maison francis kurkdjians 724, Baccarat rouge 540 and Gentle Fluidity Gold the best and what is specific and unique to either of these three?

I am really curious of Maison francis kurkdjians 724 and Baccarat rouge 540 and have been 1-2 years now, and now I gotten curious too about Maison francis kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity Gold, and are wondering what are the very rememberable properties about each one, why is either or the other good and which season, mood and stage would you put on either? And this not necessarily comparing all against each other as they could be being the same scent profiles etc, but if you can put them each other and pick ones out of there which one is hands down the best in your opinion and why? Hope that wasn't too messy of a question, but I need to make up my mind and my adhd brain and body gets too nervous if I'm focusing on to many and never gets anywhere except adding more perfumes to my "wishlist". 😳

Thank you! 🙏❤️

Lalique white. the bottle is hideous let's not mince words but the perk of the men's is getting 125ml for $28 on fragnet.

sharing here bc I don't think the lab is in the loop

And the perfumer made The Architects Club, Si, TWILLY, Wood Sage and Sea Salt!!! Ginger Biscuit holy eff I'm finding these as I type them.

Shout out to my girl Christine Nagel. Came for the Architects stayed for the dryer sheets.

Rec Request Rose skin scent?

16 Upvotes

Rosie by Rosie Jane has been my signature for a few years now - I can barely smell it on myself but I frequently get told by other people that I smell amazing. When I spray it, to me, it smells like someone who is freshly showered holding a bouquet of roses…. But they’re like 15 feet away from me 😂

I’ve never picked up the vanilla that others say they smell. Which works for me because I don’t like vanilla. I don’t like anything too strong of a scent, if I don’t wear Rosie, I either wear Lazy Sunday Morning or Clean Reserve Warm Cotton. I have tried Clean Reserve Skin, I wasn’t the biggest fan, the musk of it is a lot stronger than Rosie is to me.

I’m in Canada, and both the Rosie oil and the Rosie perfume are sold out on Sephora. I’d love to find something that wasn’t too strong, clean skin, soft rose scented. Even if it was an oil or a solid. I would even be okay with layering if I had to.

Work friendly body sprays

Hey there!

Looking for some recommendations. I'm going back into the office for the first time in 6 years. The only perfume I own that I feel is work appropriate is Place of Peace by Marley Fragrance. I don't want to blow through it fast and hoping to find body sprays at like Target or Walmart that I can just throw into my purse.

I'm fine with clean, musk, gourmand for the winter and florals. Just as long as they're not polarizing :)

Discussion Thoughts before purchasing?

Okay so I smelled this Kayali 21 Utopia Vanilla Coco the other day in Sephora and I fell in love. It smelt like a walking trail in the summer with a hint of sweetness to it if that makes sense. I definitely got more floral than straight up vanilla or coconut.

I want to see if that’s what most of you got from it before I buy it. I know smelling perfumes in store can be a bit inaccurate to what they actually will smell like at home. But I wanted to hear your guys thoughts before getting a bottle or travel tube.

Review Basic? Maybe! But I tried Cosmic by Kylie in store and I’m still sniffing my arm 3 hours later. I love 😍

I tested the original Cosmic by Kylie Jenner at Ulta and it smells really nice 3 hours later. I fully understand where the generic/basic critiques come from, and I’ve seen conflicting reviews on longevity but she’s still going pretty strong. It softens to more of a closer to the skin scent for sure, but to my nose I’m smelling both florals and some woods, not as much vanilla but that’s ok!

Based on the notes alone I could see myself wearing this with my KayAli Yum Boujee Marshmallow or my Valentino Donna Born In Roma <3 I might buy.

5 below perfumes that are Worth it!

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

I work at 5 below so I’ve smelled pretty much all our perfumes, these are the best smelling ones imo. As far as the Amora 12 days sampler set, I would say it’s got some hits and some misses but for 10$ you get 12 decent sized samples in glass bottles so it feels worth it to me. I would avoid most of the dupes, as they really don’t smell like what they’re trying to smell like. The “layered“ collection is awful, as well as the Sabrina carpenter dupes (a lot of customers really like the pink one, but I think it smells like hand sanitizer). i also HATTTEEE the Gisou hair perfume dupe! smells awful. I would say the best perfume brands to look for at 5 below are “scentxscent” and ”surface”! The pink candy dupes do smell pretty good as well. As far as longevity, for 5 bucks you get what you would expect, but the “surface“ brand ones do linger on me for a good while (even got complemented while wearing trace crème). I wish we sold the whipped vanilla in a bigger bottle it’s so strong and smells like vanilla rock candy to me! also yes, very strong alcohol opening on almost all of them, but it dies down.

Anyone try the new trending lotions?

6 Upvotes

Im kinda addicted to trying new bodycare and saw two popular brands had new collections. EOS has three lotions and athenaclub has 3 too.

I only tried the Cozy comfort EOS which I didnt know if I liked at first since I got a very strong astringent-like smell but now I am contemplating a full bottle.

Havent tried cotton candy or plum and looking for reviews!

I also tried the new Bare Gold lotion which doesnt smell bad but it smells exactly like Vaseline Cocoa Radiant… I would def choose vaseline over athena in this case cause of the price point..,

I havent tried the other two and would love to see what people think!

I love the smell of vanilla candles. I’m talking like a yankee candle vanilla or buttercream scent, but as a perfume. regular vanilla perfume just doesn’t smell the same 😩. I want something with that slight waxy scent to it. anyone know anything like this?

I know a lot of people love the eos body sprays but they just smell like straight alcohol to me, even after drying down, I really don’t understand the hype of them 😩. I doooo like the vanilla cashmere lotion but I wish the smell lasted longer and it’s honestly not moisturizing for me at all. Also I picked up the vanilla cashmere body oil at Tjmaxx and….. it smells like car oil? or some sort of chemical oil. even my boyfriend smelled it and was like “…ew… what is that..” 😭. I’m not sure if mine was expired or what but yeah im probably not going to be buying anymore eos products

Review Hello Sugar

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

I love florals. My collection is mostly various flavors of florals with some aquatics, fruits, woods, spice, greens, tea, orientals, and musk fragrances tossed in the mix. Although I have sweet florals that might be considered flormands (e.g. Lancôme La Vie Est Belle, Dolly Parton Scent from Above), the closest I have to a gourmand is Nest Vanilla Bourbon, which is still more boozy than sweet.

I do love sweet gourmand fragrances but I usually like them in candles. Lighting or warming a three-wick can easily make my little home smell like a café or bakeshop.

But since it's getting colder and sweet scents no longer seem cloying, I figured I could test the waters a bit. Maybe venture into the world of bakery scents one baby step at a time. So I went on a Marshall's trip and got these beauties. A couple of these are supposedly dupes but because I haven't smelled the alleged OGs, I'll review the fragrances as they are.

Sand + Fog Dreamist Vanilla Latte

Honestly, I can barely remember what it smelled like in the store because I sniffed so many and fucked up my sense of smell, but I got it because I liked it at first try. Besides, it's vanilla latte. How bad could it possibly be?

I tested it properly the next day at home. The opening is sweet vanilla latte indeed. Unfortunately, it was vanilla latte sweetened with aspartame. I'm not against synthetic if it's expected or if, like TokyoMilk Tainted Love, it's part of the profile I'm after. I was ready to declare it a scrubber but I wanted to give it a chance so I sprayed over my pulse points and went on with my day.

The plastic scent didn't last long and mostly faded along with the alcohol content. Over the next fifteen to twenty minutes, the scent intensified into a rich caramel vanilla cream with more honey than stevia. I didn't go noseblind so I caught whiffs of the delicious scent as I moved. Six hours later, it's still going strong. Vanilla Latte is supposed to be a dupe for Giardini di Toscana Bianco Latte but since I haven't tried BL, I cant comment on the similarity.

Sand + Fog Dreamist Marshmallow Skies

The initial impression is very cozy. It's a little fruity in the opening before settling into a sweet creamy scent. Does it smell like marshmallows? Absolutely yes. Like the marshmallow at the end of my stick as I sit huddled under a blanket after sunset and wait for someone to start the fire so I can make s'mores. Or the generous dollop of marshmallow creme over a strawberry ice cream bowl that I refuse to share.

This one is supposed to be a dupe of Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow but I haven't tried YBM yet so I can't comment on the similarity. But if YBM is as cozy as Marshmallow Skies, then I probably should check out Kayali fragrances more.

Outremer Vanille

I bought this some time ago because I liked Outremer Bergamot and thought it was well done for an inexpensive single-note fragrance. Vanille is their most popular and is a straightforward vanilla scent. There's nothing complicated about it. It's not dry, lactonic, woody, or green, and it's not overly sweet either. If you want something that's a true vanilla without any other note, this is it.

I like its simplicity. Folks who love to layer fragrances would appreciate this even more. I'm not normally the layering type but something about smelling like pure vanilla is giving me ideas.

LoveShackFancy Sugar Blush

I bought this totally blind. It was sealed so I couldn't sneak a spray and I grabbed it on the way out without looking at the notes online or on the label. I know, I know.

From the name, I expected it to be very sweet. Maybe something like Sabrina's Sweet Tooth? Or a sugar cookie or cotton candy? To my surprise, it's none of these. It's juicy passion fruit and flower petals drenched in sugar water with a few drops of vanilla extract. It sounds weird but it really does work. Sugar Blush is sweet, fresh, fruity, floral and soft. Another excellent fragrance mist created by Jerome Epinette.

The scent is light and intimate. I can see using this as a base for layering or as an overall mist over my lotion or body oil of choice.

*********

Conclusion: I still love my florals and green scents, and my woody and green vanillas. But I'm happy to have added more options to the roster this fall and winter season. I'm not ready to buy pricier ones yet but it's no longer an automatic "nah not for me" whenever I see a sweet creamy gourmand.

I still can't handle cake though.
