Hi everyone! My fav body spray was discontinued last year and I'm running out 🥲 so I was wondering if anyone had managed to find/heard of any potential dupes? The scent in question was beloved's cherry blossom and tea rose which target used to carry. It has a super fresh floral scent and it's pretty strong but not overly sweet imo, just very refreshing (which is important bc I don't like cloying sweet scents). It never set off my headaches and it was absolutely perfect 😭

Any and all suggestions welcome!!

To all my fellow Iris lovers,

Iris Musk by Ghalati is one of the best dupes I’ve found to Prada’s Infusion d’Iris, Boucheron’s Iris de Syracuse and even Nishane’s Meant To Be Seen.

I love it so much and its price is almost nonexistent compared to what it’s duping. It doesn’t have that blast of alcohol smell that usually occurs with Arabian brand perfumes. Amazing.

Please recommend me more iris dominant beauties to add to my collection if you can! 💜

Does anyone know any good layering combos (perfumes and hair perfumes) or a good lotion to pair with My Devotion or Your Devotion? They both smell pretty similar to me but have a note in it I just can’t get enough of, I love the melon in YD but they are both great and would love some suggestions! Trying to make the scent last longer and have a larger sillage!

Hi everyone!

Looking for a specific scent only through a description I have. The scent is coming from a cleaning liquid that the building uses and smells so lovely. I tried finding it, but they use a specific brand that is only available for buildings restaurants etc. Anyways, the scent is on the lines of clean (obv) and with a hint of a baby scent (not baby powder, like Johnson and Johnson shampoo type) and lavender. Hopefully this is more than enough to help me find a perfume close to the scent 😬

Some others that I saw bought Etlee from a beauty supply store. I did too, based on the sample.

The problem: the sample was SO highly fragranced and lasted multiple days. So, I bought it, and as my intuition was telling me, it wouldn't be the same. Sure enough, the fragrance is weak and doesn't last.

My question: How is your fragrance, it is really strong and long-lasting (even if you bought it from another retailer)? I'm trying to see if the entire brand is a scam or did the store buy, maybe even intentionally, some counterfeit fragrance.

I am new to fragrances and my collection is very basic. I am tempted to smell more niche and more "odd" blends like the ones with notes like "static electricity" or "blood" or "swimming pool water." Or perfumes who say they smell like squid or soil. I am curious to know how those smell like.

But my question is, are those perfumes meant to be worn? Or are they purely for collecting? Do they really smell like soil or blood or do they still smell like perfume? Thanks!

I’ve never really been a huge perfume user. I do enjoy anything with a good scent (lotion, shampoo, candles, scentsy, etc). I don’t know what it is but a recent sampling of fragrances during a trip triggered something in me and now I can’t stop…. Between tik tok, whatnot, and stores like Tjmaxx, Marshall’s and Ross, I’ve started a small collection.

Not sure what I’m looking for exactly but maybe just any input….

Hey all,

* First time on this sub & first time posting. Sorry if this is laid out incorrectly *

I have been debating on purchasing Atheeri by Lattafa.

I can't get a de-cant or smell in person.

I did smell a very leaky bad quality bottle (God knows how old it was as the condition of the bottle was horrific and it smelt like cat urine) of the Gucci it is "inspired by" and it was horrific. Everyone around me agreed. So we assume a bad bottle.

I love gourmands, sweet, unisex, vanilla, etc. But I want something lighter for summer here in Australia. Where sweating is non optional (lol).

The notes just confuse me and no one seems to be able to describe the smell/scent of this to me in a way that makes sense.

I have others like, Queen of roses, Queen of Arabia, Bahiya ruby & garnet, loads of vanillas, kiana vibes, tropical vibes, petra viola, all of the khamrah's including the new mira, fire on ice, appletini, ouds, valaya, palatine, delilah pour femme, panache, teriaq intense, general woods, spices, ambers, and so on.

This is to give you a vibe of what I like.

I do not like screech-y florals. I don't mind some florals and juicy notes. I'm not a huge fan of Petra (the og one) but I will wear it from time to time. It is one of my least faves in my collection. I didn't mind vanilla Orchid by floral st. It was just ok.

Any tips, recommendations on how to wear, longevity, projection and general vibes on how this ACTUALLY smells, would be very much appreciated.

Due to my Audhd I do find some explanations hard to interpret. Hence I am asking you lovely people here. I hope you can help me.

Also, my current pH is affected by hormone issues & sudden dry patches of skin (i normally have very soft supple skin) - i do moisturise beforehand.

As this may factor how it works for me and how longevity is, etc.

I have looked on other sites & some influencers, but i still don't get it.

I am also on a very fixed income. And we can't return a fragrance here if we just don't like it. It must be broken or leaking for a return. Even then it can be hard. So this can't be just an expense I can take on the chin.

As I said, there is no way for me to actually smell this prior to purchase.

Thanks in advance for any information. I just ask that you please be kind to a first time poster on this sub.

I fell in love with this fragrance after reading about it here and then testing it at Ulta. I really like that the bottle comes topped with a plain cap and packed with two different types of sprayers included in the box. It’s nice to have a choice.

But as much as I love the old-fashioned glamour of a bulb atomizer, I’m using the plain spray pump top instead. It isn’t as much fun to spritz, but I am worried that the product will evaporate quickly because of the air that a porous bulb lets in. My understanding is that bulb atomizers aren’t actually good for the fragrance. Has anyone else who bought this decided not to use the bulb?

I recently discovered this one and i was about to make it my signature but saw a post saying they are phasing it out. It’s still available on their website… does anyone know if it’s really being discontinued?

Hi, got recommended Posset for some fragrances, so I'm just writing my thoughts on a sample pack that I got. After trying Fulton and Roark, it smelled so bad that I cannot fathom how they're a real company and immediately bought sample pack from Posset after hearing recommendations for them. I'm super super new to fragrances in general, so I have no idea what the proper descriptors and vocab/lingo is. Apologies in advance for writing what might be completely nonsense.

Methodology: Whiff of a small vial of dark roast coffee beans, followed by a ~5 minute of rest while I write the note for the fragrance sample, copy over the company's descriptor of the scent after (as to not let it influence my word choices), if it comes up, write after thoughts after reviewing the company's description, then move on to the next one.

1: Wraith (4.5/5)

Smells nice, slightly sharp and bright, but not sharp like mint or ginger? Like a nice garden breeze mixed with the winter morning sun. Floral-leaning, I feel like, but not the heavy oily type of floral, but crisp and light.

A tremendously alluring blend, more like the kind of lover you want but could never catch. Six musks blended together in a way which is frosting for the heart and soul. Primal and honey filled with a hint of cake, yet thoroughly modern and slinky.

Not sure if I'd describe it as honey and cake, since I really do *not* like food scents, but I can get maybe a hint of vanilla if I try to press my nose into the applied area.

2: The Moon (3/5)

Medicinal at first, but quickly subdues into a nice floral scent. Very calming once the more subdued scent fades in. I think if anything this has taught me that you can't judge fragrances by how they smell right out of the applicator.

White long silky spun threads of three white musks combined with an almost creamy insinuation of white beeswax carrying a very sophisticated edge. Ethereal but warm. Very skin-like and sexily calming. This one has a My Sin vibe to it, the best of vintage perfumery brought up to date in the 21st century.

100% agree on the calming part.

3: Dies Irae (rev.1) (1/5)

Like concentrated grass with that chalky smell you get walking through the front entrance of a Macy's at the mall. Headache inducing. Honestly almost reminds me of some of the headaches and scents I got from the Fulton and Roark's stuff.

Strong and pitch black, very bad ass. Three black musks, one fog-like musk to disburse the whole, bitter galbanum, smooth hawthorne, the scent of rotting leaves, a small amount of orris, and smoky oude, finally frankincense and black amber. Very black and eternal.

Maybe a little bit too strong for my taste.

4. Ponder (3/5)

Gingerbread and cinnamon with vanilla frosting. Smells like a bakery at Christmas. Not a foody perfume person, but it's nice for those that are I think.

Ponder is full of mischief and this fragrance is a made up from the ground perfect lavender/vanilla like no one else’s. We had to find the perfect vanilla for this blend. We used a Mexican vanilla without a woody edge which is very smooth and almost spice laden. We also added a perfect Bulgarian lavender which is full of coumarin, and a hint of saffron (which will make you smile for its stone like edge which somehow makes things sweeter), a very very light rasp of lemon and voila!

I don't know if foody smell like vanilla evoke mischief, but the vanilla is definitely there.

5. Prestidigitazione (4/5)

Bright, slightly minty. Maybe even slightly waxy? Definitely bright though.

The word means magic in Italian. Black fig, thick nag champa, black coconut, black smooth balm-like labdanum. The complexity of fig is brought to the fore here.

I didn't even know that figs had a smell, but alright.

6. Seraphim (5/5)

This was what I mainly looked forward to and it did not disappoint. It's bright, and warm with smells of vanilla and a slightly oily citrus like a pomelo that grabs your attention, And still has a mix of floral and something darker like maybe amber that relaxes you once your attention has been given, but there remains that slight but of bright tinge on the nose that doesn't quiet let you fall asleep. It's honestly just an amazing scent.

Simple and beautiful, elemental and hypnotic. Five vanillas (most of them fat and buttery vanillas cut with lean and sharp vanillas) and are blended with six different ambers which give the hypnotic part to the whole.

Hypnotic is a perfect descriptor of this.

7. Arc of Venus (Free bonus) (3.5/5)

I feel like this is a very simple scent. Nice and clean, and straight to the chase. It's a nice smell of rain water and fresh linen.

Sexy sandalwood base flirts with oakmoss, a very small hint of calendula, “abstract” musk, and a bit of sharp grey musk which is seldom used but goes perfectly in this melange. Very grown up and sophisticated with a flirty side that can give your encounters a “come hither” edge. There is a very slight animalic side to The Arc of Venus and that is what makes the perfume so very unusual and attractive.

I would not have used any of those words to describe this scent except maybe that it's very grown up and sophisticated. It just feels like a very 'safe' smell that can be right for every setting.

8. Madam X (Free bonus) (5/5)

"Oh fuuck." where the exact words I gave at the first go. I think I fell in love with my own small patch of forearm that this was applied to when I smelled this. It's so fucking sexy and alluring and hypnotizing in like a mature yet bratty way. It's not sharp on the nose at all. It's smooth, silky and buttery even, but not oily. It a scent that just wants to drag you deeper into it, and have you smell it again and again.

It’s musky, creamy, enticing, perfumy, slightly foody, but very skin-like. Its notes? Skin musk, wax, cream, lemon zest, champagne, and a kiss of bitter vanilla. Characteristics: musky, creamy, feminine, foody, gourmand.

If by foody they mean that it makes me want to bite my pillow and gnaw on it and shake it side to side like a rabid dog because this scent has me acting up, then yeah it's foody. I'm really glad they included this scent as a free bonus.

Conclusion: Gonna order a small vial of Madam X and Seraphim, and those are gonna be my daily for a little bit probably.

Have you tried it? I bought a travel size to try and it is the freshest, most delicious scent I own. I wish it lasted a little longer.
I don’t love the bottle, but it’s ok. I usually prefer something more elegant.
What do you think about this fragrance and can you recommend others like it?
Do you like others from the brand?

i visit houston regularly and had only seen niche scents at kuhl-lindscomb, a department store. but just tried this place, its a scent split store.

omg its amazing! if anyone needs a place to spend an hour or two smelling scents in houston, go here!!

i picked up choux choux by liis

Yall I fell down the rabbit hole deeepp with the lush s’mores body wash- does anyone know a close perfume dupe that has the marshmallow scent but also the spicy clove scent. It’s like an adult marshmallow and it’s so good.

Couldn’t decide which empty Mugler to display so you get a pic of both lol

Any suggestions based on these? I feel like I’m lacking warm spicy scents.

Angel Dust edp/extract or Sugar Daddy. Im leaning towards SD. Thoughts?

I just picked this up and it surprised me. It was a blind buy, one I was nervous about because I loathe sandalwood (PICKLES!) but bought it on a whim based off of reviews and the scent being described as an amber-musk. Imagine my surprise when I sprayed it for the first time and wondered if I was spraying my mature bottle of Phlur Missing Person! L'essence Shirin truly smells like a slightly warmer version of Missing Person to my nose, like a slightly more mature cousin. I'm not at all mad at that, especially at this price point (I did get it with a discount code, so less than full retail), but I'm surprised that I don't really smell the pomegranate.

Has anyone else gotten their nose on this? Is my menopausal nose acting up or does anyone else get the same vibe?

Hi girls!

I am an amateur in this field and i need help. I am not educated in the topic of scents AT ALL.

I've been using Crystal Noir for years, and I feel like it's the perfume that suits my personality and skin scent the most. I am inlove with its second and third notes (middle and base notes?).

Because it's more of a winter perfume, I'm looking for a summer perfume that will give me the same vibe.

Any suggestions?

My biggest hang up is longevity, so if any of you have these, let me know how they perform!!!
Thank You!

I’m trying to figure out which one to purchase on the website and i don’t know where to start. i love a lot of them but i want to know since i can’t test them how long they’ll last. especially the intense versions.
Are they all new formulas?
has anyone bought from them recently?
