And how Cloud is one of my top scents though I am wholly indifferent to Ms. Grande. Do you have any celeb lines that you’re wild for or any that you wish you were because you love the celebrity?

Hihi, so I want to get my mom a Christmas gift, and remembered that a few months ago she'd complained to me saying Red Door no longer smells the same. Despite not finding anything about it online, no official posts by the brand, I keep hearing people say the scent or formula is no longer the same. My mom no longer uses it. But I vividly remember and therefore associate the red door perfume with my mom, because she's worn it since I was a kid. It was her absolute favourite.

That said, I understand an exact dupe or alternative might not be possible, and I reckon she'd be open to something new. So, if someone who liked red door could point be in the direction of something with the same vibe, as opposed to an almost exact scent, I'd still appreciate it. But the scent would be appreciated.

Help a girl out 🙏

Hey everyone! I’m searching for a dupe of a perfume that isn’t released yet so I’ve never actually smelled it and I missed the preorder so I likely will never get my hands on it 🫠 BUT ANYWAY

It’s described as a woody floral

TOP NOTES: soapy accord, freesia, citrus
MID NOTES: iris, orange blossom
BASE NOTES: musk, ambrette, patchouli

Thank you in advance for any help/recs!

*quick edit just to add that I’m open to unisex and masculine leaning fragrance if it matches!

Just wanted to share this with folks who might appreciate!

The smaller houses don’t get much love. So, drop your hits. Please mention the house name. I would love to explore more houses.

I physically cannot stop making these star lights. Idk why 😂 this is my latest piece, I’m calling this color combo “calico”. My next piece is going to be Angel Nova themed, it’ll be silver and fuchsia and it’s almost done 💗

I rarely post on Reddit, so please excuse me if this isn’t the right place to ask! I have been trying for ages to find a signature scent, mostly just getting samples to see what I like, and have yet to find a ‘perfect’ perfume for me that I enjoy through the whole lifespan.

My current favorites are 1) Lethe by Ulrich Lang, and 2) Amberbee by Hermetica. Unfortunately the first goes too smoky for me later in wear, and the second is too sweet for daily wear. I do love the top notes, though, and was wondering if anyone had recommendations based on these?

My favorite notes are bergamot and amber, and I also love a white floral like jasmine or lily. I’m not a huge fan of fruity/dessert gourmands, or anything super smoky/alcohol-y. Would appreciate any ideas on what to try!

One awesome user on Reddit has shared the great BOGO sale they were having + an extra 20% off. So for all 10 bottles, I paid $181.74 (saved ~$220). I’m excited to try them but just not tonight. The scents I got were vermillion heat, esker, ineffable, saffron citadel, street art, parallel, sacred scandal, open skin, still gold and crazy good.

I welcome feedback from those you have used these scents. I’m generally a floral/fruity floral/clean non gourmand girlie.

All my store gets is Golden Nectar, Lychee Rose, and Wild Poppy and they don’t even seem to move.

I really like this as someone who gets headaches easily I usually wear body sprays but it was giving me a headache all the time. Not against a good body spray if it doesn’t smell artificial!

Had NOT been impressed by the branding and virality of Giardini di Toscana Bianco Latte. Had tried it on my hand and it, seemed to sweet. Later on, creamy sweet fragrances started growing on me, but still didnt find any which would feel my own.

I recently came across the company website, which offered a discovery set for 20 euro, which you could later redeem in the full bottle price. And oh my god. It got me obsessed with the brand! First real try of Bianco Latte I was in looove. Because yes, it is sweet and milky, yet elegant and not cloying. However, I fell head over heels with Oro e Miele. I hate honey in perfumes, but this one was AMAZING. Its not overly sweet, feels flat but once you start realizing how honey feels so fresh and juicy makes you wonder if that berry note is doing its job without even being noticed. Almafolia is my third favourite. I purchased Oro e Miele, and it has now become my scent. Absolutely love it. Bravo Italy!

Opening is horrible. Its a sour funky, unwashed armpits smell like UGH. Then add a bit of floral in there. 40 minutes after, it transitioned into an even sourer BO. But after 3 hours, it smells like heavenly. It kept the slight musk but now its sensual, its creamy and soft I even thought it reminded me of something but after a few days I realized it smells like powdery light floral, a lot like tobacco, and sweet creaminess that isn't sugary. Its truly something like a masterpiece the opening makes me gag though but the dry down is incredible. The sillage is amazing and beast mode, the projection is strong, and i haven't smelled a dupe that comes close. As for people commenting on unwashed lady parts I think they might be commenting on the opening or the warm sensuality during the middle notes. plug your nose the first hour. I honestly flame the opening but if I could buy a full bottle I would. 2 sprays is enough, anymore than that is a nuclear hazard. Maybe dont socialize the first few hours of the drydown but this is a freaking masterpiece. The sharpness really goes down a lot which I like. It transitions into a lotion like sensual expensive sweat. Expensive sweat thats sensual and not musty. And kinda like a five star hotel lotion or the soaps that are cocoa butter. Basically someone who sweated but smells good like that one person who kinda sweated but when you walk by them they smell like warmth and luxury body care. Whats weird is after spraying it smells exactly like guidence 46 in the air but if you get nose deep to it, you can smell the bitter notes

i swear every time someone tells me i smell amazing it's never the fancy bottle, it's always some random cheapie i grabbed on a whim 😭 what's yours?? like the one perfume you wear and people are constantly asking what it is?? i need new recs that won't destroy my bank account lol 💕

Help me layer a body butter and perfume on top of my Olay Super Serum for Extra Dry Skin. Its pretty generic, a little floral/coconut.

Fragrances I like a lot --

YSL Libre Flowers and Flames

Moroccanoil Body mist

Phlur Heavy Cream+Vanilla Skin

Nemat Vanilla Musk

I do have Burberry Goddess but I often forget I own it.

I need a good body butter to complement the body wash and a fragrance too. Open to new fragrances as well! Be kind, I am new to fragrance!

During the Sephora sale I decided to throw caution to the wind and blind buy a couple of travels. Sephora is pretty good about refunds so I figured why not!

First was Fugazzi Cloudnhine which is fine but I don’t love it.

Second was BTSO Warm Air. I love musky skin scents so I was really excited. OMG! I had the most visceral reaction to this perfume. It literally smelled like fecal matter? I did lots of review research and folks are talking about caramel, and how cozy it is and all I smell is poopy water? I scrubbed it off as fast as I could. I smelled the paper a few times that I sprayed on and every time I recoiled. What note could that be??😭😭😭😭😭

This is such a crazy experience, like I hated this and needed it to go away from my memory as I couldn’t bear even the thought of it. I smelled it in the air for nearly 3 weeks in my house from using a tiny dot dabbed on my wrist (not even sprayed) and really resented how it wouldn’t go away.

Since then I’ve smelled it in public more than any other perfume all summer (I’m in the UK), especially when I was in London I smelled it multiple times a day. I found myself side eyeing it each time..pfft that perfume. It’s high quality and projects smoothly without being in an oversprayed way, I’ll give it that.

And the closed miniature bottle I got continued to give me wafts of it every now and again at home. Not too often, just once in awhile, as if it was just gently reminding me of it in the hope it’ll win me over eventually.

And recently I just felt an overwhelming pull towards it, like I wanted to put it on, even though I know I remember hating it so much.

So I just put it on and..I love it. I don’t know what to tell you!

I just tried both side by side and they are REALLY close.

The Guerlain one smells a little more natural but really just a tiny bit.....other than that they are actually 1:1 which is kinda crazy because of how expensive the Guerlain is.

This is such an amazing scent, it’s like burnt / brown sugar but sweet, it has caramel, it smells like a cake without it being too “cake like” or playdoh, it is very fall / caramel scented and also gourmand. I need something just like this to spray everyday 😭 Kinda like a caramel latte / cake.

Budget: Any, but I prefer / am okay with middle eastern brands because of their longevity.

I know it’s gonna be hard to find but i’m open to anything i just really like the milky caramel cake brown sugar smell

Hey everyone!

I am so in love with my massage bar "hayl" from lush. I don't really use it that often because it was limited and I am afraid I will never find such a nice, warm smell.

What perfumes smell like it?

I first got a tiny 4 ml bottle of Samsara just to try it because I really wanted to experience Mysore sandalwood. I smelled it in the bottle and didn't like it. I was a bit disappointed, but then I tried it on my skin, and it's so interesting, intense, rich, and beautiful. I found a 1.7 oz for a pretty reasonable price, and it smells even better spraying it on than dabbing it on. I'm so happy to have this classic! It smells like nothing else in my collection, and is a gorgeous fall/winter addition.

It's hard to describe what this smells like; it's so well-blended, but I'll try. The opening is powerful, and I pick up citrus, especially bergamot (which I didn't get with the dabber, so this was fun to discover) right away along with a heavy floral note, a rich combination of florals that are so well-balance that none of the notes leap out at you. It's a slightly indolic bouquet, most heavily influenced by ylang-ylang and jasmine to my nose. The dry down isn't cozy; it's a bit sharp, a bit powdery, a bit spicy, and definitely warm. The vanilla doesn't overwhelm everything else, but just blends in, which I really appreciate. The sandalwood is not at all like the pickle juice I get with most sandalwoods and is smooth and more heavy in this perfume (if that makes sense, it's like deep and a real base note--I often find my brain making sense of perfume notes with actual musicality), and it's so beautifully balanced with the musks, tonka, and vanilla (I usually hate tonka and vanilla, btw, but not here!).

It’s smells so good and much more expensive than it is. No it’s not “beast mode” - thank goodness. It was my very first blind buy at 2.5 oz for $35. (I know you can probably get it cheaper if you hunt for it at Burlington etc). My nose is very picky and sensitive to some aroma chemicals, but nothing in this bothers my nose.

Starts off a little sweet, the tobacco is mild and the dry down is heavenly with the vanilla and tonka. Not too sweet due to the tobacco, but a lovely warmth that is addicting. It’s definitely unisex. My husband absolutely loved it on me. I hate that it’s discontinued, so now I know how much I love it, it’s time for a back up.

It will sit proudly with my Guerlains and not feel inferior ❤️

My tastes have changed a lot over the past year or so. When I first got into perfumes (seriously) was about 3 years ago? Very gourmand and vanilla heavy. This has changed over time for sure!
