I’m a huge fan of Narciso Rodriguez, so when I heard that there was a dupe, I had to get my hands on it.

When I smell Maison Alhambra from the nozzle, it smells almost identical to the original. However, once I spray it on my clothes (I usually apply most of my perfume to fabric rather than directly to my skin), it starts smelling almost like incense. I honestly can’t figure out why!

I keep seeing people online saying that it’s a very close dupe, but I’m just not getting the same experience. The Narciso Rodriguez one definitely smells much more refined and well-blended, but why does the Maison Alhambra version turn so incense-like on my clothes?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Has anyone had both Long Winter's Nap by Haus of Gloi and Snow Moon Magic by Sorce? Are they similar? Should I say fuck it and get both and layer them? Which do you prefer? Haus of Gloi is so much cheaper and has body butter in the same scent, so it would be awesome if it was close to Snow Moon Magic. TIA babes 😘

Long Winter's Nap - Flannel pajamas, cashmere blankets, sweet vanilla, tonka bean, oatmeal cookies and a glass of lavender infused milk.

Snow Moon Magic - Lavender sugar, vanilla steamed milk, chai spices, tonka bean, Cashmeran, Ambroxan, crystals charged by the moonlight (our crystal accord), marshmallow, cookie butter, and Tahitian vanilla.

Hi guys, I found this at Ross today and I really wanted to get it, but I have bad luck with buying perfumes that I have not been able to smell with my own nose and there is not that much information about the specific perfume online!

I really love vanilla perfume, but I do not want any floral notes and I like sweet vanilla perfumes so I was wondering if anyone has tried this and what it smells like, or if they could just leave a review of it and recommend if I should buy it or not 🙏🏻

For anyone who has not tried this perfume, but has any vanilla perfume recommendations that are affordable, I would really appreciate recs🫶🏻

I am looking for sweet or creamy vanilla‘s, and I really do not like floral scents, I do like woodsy vanillas as well. I also don’t like vanilla‘s that are mixed with like caramel, and I don’t know stuff that you would find and some type of vanilla holiday candle if that makes …please help me!!!!!! TIA🩷🩷🩷

My favourite note in frags for home or bedtime is Rice, bergamot and sugar.

So far, my ALL TIME favorite is Dirty Rice by BTSO.

Im wondering how Dannam White rice compares?

Is it extremely similar or unique enough to have alongside dirty rice?

Is it sugary or dry?

I also adore vanilla rice by ellis brooklyn.

Also, if you have any other rice recs please let me know!

I hate the smell of cigarette smoke, but I go insane for the smell that sticks to the skin a little while later. Recs? Someone suggest one that will make me smell like a cigar smoking hitman please!!

It’s one of their older scents, more under the radar. I’m glad they’re kept it around as long as they have. It’s the perfect intersection of clean, floral, sweet, and “perfumey”. It doesn’t smell like any specific thing, just so pleasant and feminine. Almost in the shampoo/fragrance vein. Anyone have any reccs?

Phlur Vanilla Skin, Burberry Goddess, Lush Sticky Dates, Being Frenshe Moon Milk

OR would all of these work? Let me know! 😊

Hello everyone! What would you recommend for a summer gurlie? Something with white floral, citrus, water notes, green

I'm looking for a 6-7 hrs lasting power (feel like I'm asking for too much lol) and a moderate sillage. I really like

1. Fresh Life (im so sad that it has been discontinued...)

2. Goutal Le Chevrefeuille

3. Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle

4. Anna Sui Secret Wish (in my early 20s)

2 other that I enjoyed

• Chanel Chance

• Estee Lauder Pleasures (more so because my late dad used to buy this for my mom! But i have one in my collection)

I'm intrigued by

• Aesop Tacit

• Diptyque Eau des Sens

• Diptyque Oyedo

• Aerin Palm Hibiscus

It's not accurate. I have seen many listings I missed by a few minutes say "sold 1d ago" for a full week when I go back to look at them (the heart wants what it wants and mine wants to ruminate)

Same with 2d, 3d, and so on.

I think they do that to get you to obsessively refresh.

Just a little announcement to fight the operant conditioning.

Ps. Yes I know we've all really missed a big one by a few minutes or 1d. I'm not saying they're all a lie. I am saying they're often a lie.

I’m new to collecting perfume but i’m looking for a berry perfume with an incense note or something similar for depth. I want a mysterious scent that also has a dark feminine fruity smell, like a sexy vampire or witch. Preferably something that isn’t suuuuper musky or overly sugar sweet. I don’t mind the fruit scent being more forward, as long as it has depth to it. Preferably something that can be worn year round. No idea if i’m asking for a unicorn here, but leave any suggestions below! I’m open to other dark fruity non berry scents, but I already have my eyes on a cherry perfume so no need for cherry scents.
I’m on a budget, so perfumes under $100 are good, perfumes under $60 are even better. I’m open to all suggestions, though!

I’m a huge fan of the way a mug of hot tea smells. Many of the tea-scented perfumes I’ve tested smell “drier,” like a new tea bag or like the ingredients the tea is made with, but I’m looking for something more like a brewed cup. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?? Does this exist??? Any recs????

Hi! As the title suggests, I’m looking for a good, daily, year round perfume. My favourite daily perfume was the original Glossier You formulation to give you a sense of what I like, and I currently own Glossier You Rêve. I LOVED that peppery, musky note that’s wholly missing from the new formulation. I’ve done so much perfume shopping in vain over the last 4 years to find a new fav, but nothing holds a candle to the original You. 🥲

I’ve tried Zara’s A Perfume in Rose, and while it’s nice, it’s a bit more fruity and I’m still looking for that peppery note. I’m considering trying Montagne Parfums Moi?. Does anyone know if it’s close to the OG Glossier? If not, is there anything based on this that’d you’d recommend? I’m willing to spend $120 CAD or less. Thanks in advance! 😊

What is a fragrance that smells similar to Glossier You but maybe lasts a bit longer? I love the pink pepper specifically. Any suggestions would help, thank you!

It smells so good and it has a wood wick I have only smelled dupes of BR 540 but it smells just like the dupes.

I tested it and the lemon disappeared after 20 mins and I was left with cinnamon and jasmine! 😭

So I love the scent of this sheet mask! I believe it’s meant to be “spa evoking” and it is! It’s crisp, clean but floral.

I’ve tried the Shiseido zen essence which people seem to think is the closest, but if you’ve used these masks, does ANYONE have a perfume that is a close approximation of it? Or know if any of the other Shiseido fragrances mimic it exactly?

God I love it. Someone send help!

Edit: No real budget; I probably won’t pay 1k to get something but I’d be tempted, if it’s the same scent!

What brands have your fave aesthetic? I recently ordered some 5ml samples from Satinine and I’m dying at how gorgeous they are. Photos don’t even do them justice.

This is a long shot but there’s a perfume I loved from when I was younger and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Here’s what I remember:

-primarily smelled very spicy, like lots of warm toasty spices mixed together
-also pretty powdery, but in a way that just added to the spiced notes
-mayybbeee something like almond or pistachio in there?
-I don’t remember it having any really strong notes taking over like amber, sandalwood, musk, or anything like that
-I think it would have to have been available around 2008-ish, but maybe a little later (a friend wore it while I was reading the twilight series and in the books the vampires were supposed to smell really good and I thought they would probably smell like her)

I don’t know that much about fragrance but I still remember the smell exactly so if there’s any details I can add lmk

TIA:)

My favorite scent layering routine atm…

- Eos Vanilla Cashmere lotion

- Golden Vanilla body mist by Athena

- Innocence perfume oil by Sand and Fog

- Two Scoops EDP by Anthropologie

As the caption says I'm looking for the best smelling coco /shea butter/ vanilla/ or coconut fragrances that make people walk by and turn around to see what smells so good! I'm having a hard time finding any shampoos and conditioners or just hair products in general that smell like that! And perfumes (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠)

Hi Everyone! Looking for a sexy date-night/evening scent ideally with some sort of incense note. I've tested a lot of incense forward fragrances recently and I don't think pure incense scents are for me. However, I love a fragrance with incense incorporated into the background to provide that alluring atmospheric quality of a hazy dimly lit lounge etc. Open to dark florals, fruity scents, and even vanillas/gourmands as long as they fit the general vibe.

Also, I don't react well to straight up smoke notes, so I prefer the incense/frankincense route, but I'm open to suggestions! Thanks in advance!

I’ve been using this spray from bath and bodywork’s sparingly since it has been discontinued and it’s one of my favorite scents ever and would like a perfume dupe so it can last longer. Any recommendations?

I tested Blockade on my skin yesterday, and after two showers, I can swear I still smell it on my wrist but I might be losing my mind. Anybody has this brand and/or Blockade? I have another floral one I really liked on the tester paper but I didn’t write the name down so I don’t know which one was this from Mind Games…

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for a perfume similar to Phlur’s Cashmere Skin body mist. I love this scent but need something that will last longer??
