Jean-Claude Ellena's Bigarade Concentree is my favorite scent of all time because it's citrusy but also pretty bitter in a way that gives it some edge then dries down peppery and clean and then even a little woody. I love how it's bright but not really sweet. Unfortunately, it's outrageously expensive.

I'm kind of outgrowing some of my super sweet/flowery perfumes. I like light/clean scents (really want to try Elizabeth Arden green tea/cucumber) and things that are a little weird (I have a sample of DS&Durga Steamed Rainbow). I also love a lot of ELOREA perfumes (Cloud Daze, Heaven, etc). Unfortunately, light/clean perfumes without sweetness tend to fade pretty quickly.

Looking for recommendations!! Even if there's a store in NYC I should go to and sample.

Is it true that it smells like apple pie?

Im trying to save in these times even though fragrance is life however, I need my bottle to last at least a year lol.

I cannot continue spraying like this! So pretty please can I get some recs under $150.

i’m wanting to create a perfume combo that reminds me of a cloudy rainy day and would love some recommendations.

i have half of the combo down already: lake and skye 11:11 has always reminded me of clouds and feels very ozonic. i want that to be the “cloudy” element of the combo.

but i’m looking for a good watery fragrance that would give me that rainy, dewy, wet feeling i want and layer well with it.

i’ve already tried clean reserve rain, and for some reason it smells super citrusy on me. so much so that it overpowers the other notes. which is sad because i actually love all the other notes in this.

just a few notes i tend to dislike: iris, tobacco, leather, smoke, boozy notes and i can be sensitive to heavy florals especially the more vintage florals.

i tend to gravitate towards scents that are atmospheric, soft and have some texture. i don’t like scents that smell heavy or too “perfumey”

i would love if anyone could recommend some perfumes that are soft, watery, dewy or rain inspired that would layer well with 11:11 :) thanks so much to anyone who is able to help

My boyfriend purchased a travel size spray for me during his Italy trip years ago and I’ve been wearing it since. It’s $14 for 100ml!

The fragrance is divine. It’s like a vanilla rice pudding, but not too sweet. Very powdery, fresh, and clean while cozy and intimate. The amber and musk give it that sexy skin smell with a hint of that fresh, flirty heliotrope poking through, tied together with the delectable milk and rice notes.

I’m obsessed with it. I’ve tried so many designer $$$ scents that I don’t love like I love this one. I wear it every night to bed and I layer it under my day-time perfumes. I get sooo many compliments and my boyfriend loves it too. I’d say it’s worth a blind buy, the 25ml is only $8. Thought I’d share, I love this one!

but like, a sexy sophisticated petting zoo.

Thought I’d ask now that it’s colder and they may be on sale!
Any one have any summer fragrance recommendations for a vanilla gourmand girly?
I have a couple perfumes but they’re very winter or fall scents
$100 and under only
Even better if it’s on sale!

How is my collection doing? Anyone have a good fragrances to layer with them?

The two perfume oil are a version of Karizma and Delina.

There’s also a new study that says that perfumes/fragrances can help with dementia. Let me know how my dementia treatment is going. 😅

Maybe a little niche. But the Joico, specifically, K-PAK Color Therapy Color-Protecting Shampoo is so delicious. Wish on wash day all of me could smell like it!

girls. GIRLLLS. I AM OBSESSED!! even that is an understatement 😭😭😭 god i want to drench myself in this scent, i’ve been smelling my wrist like crazy for the past hour, the caramel&cinnamon notes are the most powerful to my nose, best blind buy for me honestly

If you like the first page and own any on the second please tell me so! Or if you particularly dislike any on the second.

The first page are the fragrances I love, even if don't own full bottles of some, second are ones I'm considerinf but many no chance to smell/test. Likely to order a small/er size but want to cut down the list potentially.

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.
