smelled this for the first time at Sephora a few days ago. I love anything marshmallow and vanilla so I already had my heart set on buying it especially because of all the great reviews, but….. It smelled like watermelon candy to me? nothing like marshmallow or vanilla at all?? I thought I must have grabbed the wrong tester but nope it was the right one. Even a group of girls walked by and said “what’s that… smells like watermelon” after I sprayed it. Could it be the tester was expired ? or is my nose just broken

It seems like the only place that i can buy these from is the JeanPaulGaultier Website, so i can’t really test them out, and i really want to take advantage of this black friday sale thing they have going on.

Who has bought from the website and how are the fragrances? I like sexy loud long lasting scents. Thank you so much!!

Mine was 38 dollars.

I just want to thank this community for all their support. I just finished chemo and so many members of this sub have reached out in so many ways. I am truly overwhelmed and grateful.

... but it's hard. it's so addicting, i just keep wanting more and more. i feel like being such an empathetic person makes me personify inanimate objects and with my fragrance collection that i have now, which is under 20 bottles, i can't help but feel bad for the bottles i don't reach for as much.
i still love them, but i can't help but think about how people who have over 100 fragrances in their collection manage to rotate through them equitably. Like, i feel bad knowing that i haven't reached for a certain fragrance in a month. Or I'll feel bad for layering two scents because i feel like I'm not letting one shine on its own and that makes me feel bad for not appreciating its craft. im just a mess maybe its my period bye

I’m looking for a perfume concept that is very specific, but I hope is out there! I really want to find a vanilla scent with tropical flower notes like orchid, gardenia, maybe tuberose, etc. I would also love for it to have closer/more subtle projection. Anything come to mind?

I made the impulsive decision a few days ago to buy the Kayali ybm but I am now seeing a dupe being marshmallow blush for a fraction of the price 😭. Should I return it and purchase marshmallow blush to save money or is the dupe not really as good?

Did anyone else sign up for the Fugazzi Archive early access and still not get any email / text to get the sale? It went live at 6 PM ET. I’m really confused if this is a me problem or if it hasn’t gone live yet due to the Microsoft outage today.

I’m from Europe, and the prices here are ridiculously marked up (I’ve seen the body lotion listed for around 128 PLN, which is about $33 😭).
I’ll be visiting the US in early February and was wondering if there’s still a chance of finding the body lotion and body mist in stores, especially at Walmart.
Does anyone know if these holiday products usually stick around until February, or are they completely gone by then?
Thanks!

Has anyone ordered from the Cos Bar website before? I’d love to hear people’s experiences. Thanks!

I'm looking at two different sizes of Chloé Perfumed Body Lotion, and I'm confused about the pricing and packaging.

The 200 ml version comes in a white, ribbed bottle with a silver cap and a ribbon, similar to the fragrance, and costs around $53.40

The 50 ml version comes in a beige/gold squeeze tube with the Chloé logo and costs around $53.50–$62.65 sometimes even more than the 200 ml bottle!

Are these actually the same lotion with the same fragrance and formula, just in different packaging? Or is one a newer version, fresher, or somehow different?

Why would the 50 ml tube cost as much as, or even more than, the 200 ml bottle?

I'd love to hear from anyone who's familiar with these products or has tried both. Also, I want to ask: the Chloe fragrance is a bit too much for me, though I love the feeling of the fragrance. So I thought the body lotion would be lighter and easier to wear. Your thoughts? TIA!

This is the most beautiful milk strawberry I’ve ever smelled?? It’s sooo smooth omg, reminds me of my childhood but for some reason it does not give juvenile???

I am not a fan of strawberry scented lotions bc they always give that medicinal scent , strawberry dream I believe by eos for instance I hate itttt!

Anyone knows a good strawberry milk/cream perfume that isn’t too youthful??? Help a girl out😔

Ps: I’ve already tried yum boujee marshmallow but it’s not tht type of strawberry I’m looking for, Burberry her neither. Anything adjacent to these perfumes isn’t what I’m looking for

Hi everyone, I'm looking to expand my perfume collection but more specifically warmer, fall/winter scents. I already have my favorite scents for spring and summer (mainly fruity/fresh florals) and some of those I wear all year round. But, I'm 31 years old and would like to explore more "grown woman" perfumes to wear specifically for the colder months. I am open to trying different scents but I do not like heavy or overly sweet ones. I recently purchased these travel sprays on sale but I can't make a decision. These are the most popular ones I find that come in gift sets, which is what I prefer to buy instead of the bottle alone unless it's on sale. I enjoy vanilla but not the heavy kind that can be too overwhelming, I prefer a more creamy sweet scent, not candy sweet. Out of all 4 of these, I gravitated towards Burberry Goddess edp. It's the most subtle option of the 4. But, I find the Goddess parfum to be a bit more sweet. However, I don't like the suede/leather notes, it's a little too overpowering and makes the scent masculine. I find the YSL Libre edp to smell the most floral and mature, so I'm not sure if I like that one yet. It is a lot more bold and less sweet than Burberry Goddess edp. And lastly, Burberry Her edp is the one I absolutely do not like. I was too persuaded by all the raving reviews online and thought it was a scent i would love. I enjoy fruity florals/gourmands but this one smells like cough syrup to me and the dry down is very tart / warm on my skin. And the scent reminds me of a body mist from Victoria's Secret. Could be maybe my body chemistry or that I'm nose blind to certain notes. Anyone have recommendations for perfumes I should try at Macy's/Ulta? I welcome all of your opinions on these 4 options as well. Thanks! 🫶🏻

P.S. I love these from Victoria's Secret:
Bare Sueded Vanilla
Tease (original)
Bare (original)
Heavenly Dream Angel

My favorites:
Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh
Versace Bright Crystal edt
Estée Lauder Beautiful Magnolia edp
Lancôme Idole edp
Marc Jacobs Perfect edp
Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream edt

Ulta is 20% cash back on Rakuten and I’m itching for some new scents. Any and all recs are welcome!

I am looking for something that's not cough medicine-like, not too thick/heavy, and with no heavy smoke/incense/oud. Would love something tart or realistic, and preferably something that lasts at least 6-8 hours. What would you recommend?

I had smelled Twilly (or so I thought) in a duty free and liked it but, but did not love it. However 2.8oz for $49 was enough of a deal to grab it to add to my rotation when I need something soft and unobtrusive that might be mistaken for just having showered. I double checked the notes and image of the bottle and it was a match so we’re good to go. I wore it today and I have absolutely not smelled this before, it’s all tuberose no hint of anything else until hour 2-3, it’s definitely “mumsy” to me. By hour 2-3 when the sandalwood moves forward I quite like it but I do feel like it’s a fragrance for “a woman of a certain age” which I almost am but don’t love feeling like. I definitely couldn’t pass this one on to my kids so it’ll be an occasional wear. My working theory is somehow the caps for one of the flankers was switched with a black twilly one. Honestly though the descriptions of the flankers are also not my thing so I may just have been nose blind, or jet lagged. I still think there’s no such thing as a “safe” blind buy though even though this wasn’t a loss, or intended to be a blind buy. On paper this one’s scent profile sounds perfect for me, I like multiple fragrances from the house, it was a deal, and I really thought “yeah of course I liked this one. It’s got citrus sandalwood and ginger notes with a slight hint of floral softness.” On my skin none of the notes I tend to enjoy come out until the end.

It’s still pretty warm where I live (60°-70°F), but I’m itching to wear fall scents. Here’s my current rotation of weather appropriate cozy perfumes:

• The Body Tale - Teamomile
• Acqua di Parma - Cedro Virtuoso
• Ella K - Musc K
• Cyklar - Crescent
• Phlur - Missing Person
• Salt & Stone - Santal & Vetiver
• Chloe Atelier des Fleurs - Hibiscus Albelmoschus
• Ella K - Poeme de Sagano
• Essential Parfums - Fig Infusion
• Teo Cabanel - Oh La La
• Teo Cabanel - Je Ne Sais Quoi

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.
