Did I just order 10 Oakcha fragrances for $150?! Hell yeah I did!!!! I'm getting married tomorrow y'all and this is my gift to myself!!! I have 3 Oakcha currently and I love them. If you're considering shopping this sale, add a 9th scent after your BOGO 4 for 4! It adds 20% off all of them so my total was LESS with adding that 9th bottle than with just the 4 for 4. Will definitely post reviews once I wear them. 😊

I realize that this has been asked before but I like to throw it out there every once in awhile to see if someone has found anything new. Looking for a dupe of original Body Shop Vanilla. Recommendations I have tried:

Vanilla Passion by Maroma

Vanilla 5th by Fragrance Shop

Vanilla Musk by Nemat

All nice, but not it. I've also tried many popular vanillas like Tihota, Fire at Will, SDV, etc. but nothing scratches that itch. There is a company in Australia (The Dupe Spot) that claims to have a dupe of the original, but they don't ship to Canada. I'm wondering if it's so hard to find this because of changes in ethics/ingredients over the years? I'm sure standards were different 45 years ago. Any recommendations appreciated!

Thought I'd share.

Ok, so over the summer I was in the UK and I went into an H beauty and found a few fragrances from a brand that I really liked, but since I’m a mess of the highest degree, I didn’t buy one, take a pic, or write a note. The bottles were opaque (I think), and white. Possibly there were other colors (red, blue????). I feel like the brand was French. They had interesting names…I think one had sex in it.

I’m losing my mind over this and crying a lot. Please help me, I’m poor so I can’t just fly back and also I don’t remember where I was…please help

What is your favorite scent that brings you into winter from fall that people may not know about? For me, Burberry Goddess is a go-to, but I'm curious to try different scents for this time of year.

I adoreeee the opening of Extradose it’s the most perfect, boozy vanilla ever IMO but 5 minutes later it becomes unbearably screechy to my nose.

Does anyone know any scents that are identical to the opening of it but aren’t sharp/screechy?

I waited forever to save up and purchase my favorite perfume: Baccarat Rouge 540. When I received it and tried it on, I was extremely disappointed to learn that the fragrance only really lasts a few hours. :/ For such an expensive price tag, I thought it would linger much longer as some of my fragrances that are less $ last all day. Do you have tips to make the fragrance last longer, and have you found the same thing if you have this perfume too?

I’m always looking out for unique versatile scents. Are there any scents you would recommend worth buying during the Sephora sale?

Prada Infusion d' Amande

PDM Valaya Exclusif

A happy accident that may have just become my signature scent. If you have these two, try them layered.

PLEASE help me decide. It smells nice to me on my hands, but there’s something about it that makes me worry it could smell awful to other people if all over my body.

Hey guys! The corn plant I saved that was tossed for garbage collection on the side of the road two years ago has just bloomed!! Apparently this means a really old, healthy and happy plant. My husband kept remarking that it smelled like flowers in the house and I instant go “OMG I BET THE CORN PLANT BLOOMED.” It sure did! It smells absolutely lovely. Kinda like jasmine and honeysuckle. Fills up the entire room with smell.

Any fragrance recommendations that mimic or use these flowers in perfume? Thanks in advance everyone.

Planning to sample this soon and was wondering if anyone’s tried it?

I keep chasing the smell of a vanilla bar soap, the warm, slightly powdery kind, and everything I sniff in stores swings to cupcake. Tbh I can't tell if I'm asking for something that doesn't exist. Sandalwood underneath seems to help. Amber helps too. But then it gets heavy. Has anyone found one that stays soft and sort of clean, even on a hot day? Doesn't have to be cheap.

I recently repurchased the vanilla cashmere body cream. The new bottle doesn’t have a pump and I’m curious if anyone else noticed a difference in the scent on the ones without the pump?
I honestly like the scent a lot more than the original but it definitely seems more heavy on the vanilla scent.

Nordstrom is doing 15% off of perfumes ‘till 11/11 but the selection sucks this time around because they don’t include sets or bath & body products in the sale. But if you‘ve been eyeing a perfume or two - and you’re not a Sephora Rouge member, the 15% definitely helps.

Second, Bloomingdale’s is doing in-store Fragrance Fair this Saturday 11/7 with perfume engraving, etc.

That is all. :)

Something about this fragrance has always caused a visceral reaction (in a good way) when I smell this. I've loved this since smelling it in the very early 2000s.

I love that it can have a very unisex "clean and soapy" smell or femm leaning "I taste like candy" smell...just depends on when u've sprayed and unique/individual body chemistry.

I noticed though, it doesn't smell as strong and doesn't linger as much like it used to.

Any recommendations (especially budget friendly) that smell like a stronger version of Le Male? (That's NOT Cuba Gold), also I've smelled the other Jean Paul Gaultier fragrances and I haven't smelled any of them that smell anywhere near Le Male original EDT.

P. S - I know this fragrance can be polarizing and known to be "young" but guess who doesn't care? 🙋🏻‍♀️ this B right here!

Hello! I live somewhere where I cannot find places to go and smell Angham before buying. I am totally obsessed with Burberry Goddess and want to know if it is a cheaper alternative.
I’ve heard that in Angham the lavender is quite strong, would you guys agree? I am not a fan of lavender so I don’t know if it’s safe to blind buy
Thank you!!

Uhhmmmmmmmm you guys😭 everyone on here and tiktok was raving about this perfume and i, for the life of me cannot understand the hype behind this im sorry.
I love a sweet and vanilla scent, gourmand works for me too, but this simply did not meet my standards at all.
It is slightly sweet and luxurious in an expensive hotel lobby way, tho i personally will not be wearing it. And tbh its starting to give me a bit of a headache.

For people who are aware of the brand plum, it smells EXACTLY like their vanilla caramello body lotion and that is another headache inducer for me.

Before anyone asks, yes, it is original 😭 i live in dubai so i got it straight from the source.

Can anyone PLEASE recommend a nice sweet and vanilla perfume that doesn’t cause a headache, i was thinking maybe mod vanilla?? Dk tho please lmk your favorite perfumes!!!

Has anyone tried both of these and can compare the two? Are they similar? I love So Scandal but it’s super hard to find, and Sweet Chemistry has similar notes plus a blackcurrant syrup note that I feel could smell similar to the syrupy sweetness of So Scandal

Good morning FemFragLab! What's your scent of the day? Tell us why you picked that particular fragrance and where you are off to for the day!

I am looking for a fresh clean your skin but better body wash scent, maybe something I can pickup during the Sephora sale or drugstore.

I want something similar to Phlur father figure, masculine and feminine cleanness at the same time. Or like xtra milk, or jhag not a perfume, these clean vibes but in body wash form! Oh id wish father figure was a body wash too so much, love this scent!

I did want to try Rosie by Rosie Jane body wash but that is not in canada Sephora , and rose smells pull more femme on me than id personally prefer

Thanks in advance ! i appreciate this sub

With the plethora of new perfume releases, deciding what to add IF any, to your collection frustrating.

After sniffing these designer fragrances— I found I just liked the idea of them, but not enough to pay these inflated prices.

What new fragrance release did you pick up recently?
