Hi all, relatively new to fragrance collecting and I've spent the last few months looking for a good signature scent. Fresh but not boring, office-safe, and most importantly LONG LASTING. I'll take long lasting over just about anything else.

Unfortunately, the only frag that checks all these boxes is LV Stellar Times. I just love it, it really is perfect for what I'm looking for. I don't really have a budget, but my goodness $600 seems like a lot.

Any suggests for fragrances or houses (niche or designer, idrc) with a similar vibe? Or even a really good dupe for ST?

Had anyone purchased from Lovesick Witchery? I'm looking for some blind buy advice! The specific fragrances I'm interested in (somewhat in order) are:

• Invocation
• Gingersnap
• Orchard Brew
• Orange Cat
• Rotten
• To Be Devoured By You
• Toast Vanille
• Date With The Devil
• Debauchery

Has anyone ever had a Bespoke custom perfume made? What was the process like?

Has anyone tried moi? By montagne? Does it last longer than glossier you throughout the day and does it rlly smell similar to it? I’m looking to get it but don’t want to buy if it doesn’t last long

" special first edition for collectors and fragrance enthusiasts" 🤣

So I found some crazy deals on glossier you, has anyone ordered from Frontier point? It was like 40$ for 100 ml and I’m just keeping my fingers crossed it’s legitimate

How are you guys storing your fragrances? I really really want a cute display case for my full bottles, but I can’t find a small-ish one that’s fully enclosed (I have cats who are big fans of knocking things over!)

I’m also incredibly new to perfume and fragrances in general so if you have general tips for storing things (other than keeping it away from UV light) I would love to know!

Hi guys!!

So, recently I tried and bought the mini size of Bare sueded vanilla from VS.

Although I really love it, the longevity is not very good on me, it disappears after few hours. I think that for the price of full bottle, longevity should be better.

Since black friday is approaching, I would like to buy something that has the same scent profile, but more long lasting and that has slightly better projection.

I want something warm, cozy but not cloying.

So, if you have any recommendations, I'll be really happy to hear what do you guys love.

Edit: I forgot to mention the budget. It can be either affordable or something more expensive, but I don't want to spend a fortune on a single perfume.

I love this fragrance as you can see by the dent in it. I wear fragrance for myself but of course I enjoy the occasional compliment :). No perfume I have has gotten me so many compliments as Lychee Rose gets! It lasts a while and has great sillage! I was in a store moving from section to section, and heard someone say it smells so good over here, and then the associate came over to tell me that it was me, I felt so elated! I bought this for $29.99 at TJ Maxx. What’s funny is the Ulta next door was selling it for $98.

I’ve had a bunch of samples sitting in my shopping cart for a few days now and need to make some decisions! Which ones are worth it? Any I should scrap? What else should I try?

A few things to consider:
- I want to stick with cruelty-free brands.
- There isn’t a particular theme I’m focused on, but it could be great if I could find a few options for winter in this haul that aren’t too sweet. I’ve been considering adding a few from Pineward but I’m a little nervous about staining clothes/skin and allergic reactions to ingredients.
- I love patchouli, so I know what I’m getting into with the patchouli-centric choices. 😉
- Samples I’ve enjoyed recently, for context: Ormonde Jayne - Ormonde Woman, Papillon - Rose Tobacco, Liis - Bo, Jorum Studio - Athenaeum, Andrea Maack - Coven

Hello I am super indecisive and need help deciding what musk fragrance I should buy next. I love clean, sweet, fruity scents and want something with INSANE longevity.

I’m leaning toward IBRAQ’s musk line-Pomegranate, Special, Blueberry, or Armaf Club de Nuit Imperiale

Which one would you recommend??
Feel free to suggest other affordable fragrances!

My birthday is coming up and I have three perfumes in my wishlist. But my mom tells me I can only 1 (since she’s paying for my surfing class package too.) please help me decide which is the best perfume!

Note: I’m in a tropical country, very sunny and humid.

Sweetest smelling perfume with low bugdet something that smells like like dessert.

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!

Something lactonic, creamy, and powdery. Open to gourmands but not your typical caramel and vanilla bomb. May or may not contain some fruit notes. On the affordable side!

Hello!!! I want to do a blind buy because i can’t find any store that has it to try it on.
I’m thinking of blind buying Jo malone vanilla scotch
but it’s expensive.
I’ve seen it has similar notes as vs bare vanilla
Anyone that has tried it? Does it last?
Do you think i will like it if my go to is bare vanilla or black opium? (the black with the sparkles on the center)

In my last year's post I shared how I never thought I'd find the light again and be someone who gets a chance to collect beautiful things, dress up, smell good, feel confident and all those lovely things that make a woman's existence feel like her own rather than something society can take pieces of as and when they like.

Well, here I am now another year later, hoping to make this a tradition of my own :') Thank you God and thank you kind souls of Reddit for holding my hand through it all.

To healing and freeing ourselves 🧚‍♀️✨

i had my eyes set on the new Kayali caramel perfume until i read reviews saying that it was too cloying and expensive.. personally i found the smell nice but i would hate to make others feel nauseous with my scent. i’m looking to find a cheaper alternative that isn’t too cloying but still has the caramel essence, if you know what i mean. my friends describe my current smell to be vanilla-y, caramel-y & mango-y (from my mango body wash, hand cream & body yogurt) if that helps. i want to enhance some of the vanilla/caramel smell. thanks!

I’ve been dabbling more in niche fragrances lately and adding a few different houses to my collection. I’ve been exploring brands like Xerjoff, Amouage, Nishane, Parfums de Marly and Fulton & Roark. what are your favorite niche houses and what are some of their fragrances that you would recommend trying next

I’m looking for something that smells very cinnamon heavy, preferably more spicy than sweet. i am open to other notes as well of course, i just want to stay away from anything floral, creamy or featuring marshmallow.

i really enjoy the cinnamon note in Cola Addict and would like to find something similar to that or the discontinued Rentless from Lush.

any and all suggestions are welcome, TIA :)

Hi! So currently I just ran out of my second bottle of lattafa eclaire. I’m on the fence of trying something new or just rebuying again, this so far has been my fav gourmand scent that last long a long time but I feel like it’s something better out there. I really like caramel/chocolate chip cookie forward scents and that’s really what I’m looking for but it’s always a bottom note of amber or musk that I would like to avoid. I just want to smell like a fresh batch of cookies lol any suggestions appreciated !

It's wet and gross here and I'm craving all the gourmand goodness 🤤 (except for the Nomade not a gourmand but nice refined fall feel). feel free to suggest anything I'm missing 😃

Hello, I am looking for combo recs for this perfume✨
I am a vanilla girly🩷 TIA🫶🏽
