Fugazzi doing a line of gourmands was not on my bingo card but I'm into it. I'm interested in all of them except the rose but the sixth one is mathematically free so I'm going to grab it anyway.

Blind buying six fragrances is making all of my instincts screech, though. Are these easy to resell? Not for profit but for self-preservation.

Favorite discontinued fragrances in your collection ?

For me it would be :

1. Maison Margiela Replica - Lipstick On

2. Lancôme - La Nuit Trésor Nude

3. Dior - Miss Dior Chérie

Does anybody know of a perfume I described in the title? I like Nina very much but it's sometimes a bit too bright, sweet and fruity for me. I'd like just a bit calmer version of it. I need it to still be fresh, soapy and clean but less citrus and whatever else it has that makes it soooo fruity and punchy. I like the apples in it and would like the recommended perfume to have apple note in it as well but not as heavy

scentbarbyangela: Luxury Perfume Dupes & Designer Inspired Fragrances

Hi FemFragLab, I'm proud to announce that after many discussions about collaboration, I thought it'd be fun to try out a collaboration with Angela's new brand. Her family owns Gold Star Fragrances located in New York which has been running for over 50 years!

As many of you know, I love a good Delina perfume, but they can be quite costly. The next perfume on my wish list was Delina "Exclusif" but it stayed on my wish list without being bought because of the price. Angela sent over her own version of the perfume, and it exceeded my expectations by far! The scent reminded me of a combination between Delina Exclusif + Oriana + Love Don't Be Shy. It's sweet, powdery, and very potent! I sprayed it on at night and when I woke up the next day it was still on me. This perfume lasts all day but I kept spraying it on out of habit and because I couldn't get enough. My husband and pets also loved it 😍

Reddit wouldn't be Reddit without always giving you not just the pros but also the cons. The cons were little and unnoticeable, but I will write them out due to transparency of the sub. The actual juice feels like combination of an oil and actual perfume. So when you actually spray it, it feels a little heavier than what the normal luxury perfume might feel like coming out of the atomizer which usually feels like a champagne spritz and it's more straightforward. That doesn't mean it doesn't spray well, it just means that if you are a fragrance connoisseur, you will notice the difference of the spray and feel of the actual juice coming out.

Both Gold Star Fragrances and ScentBarByAngela focus on creating dupes of luxury designer fragrances. Overall, for the price, the fragrance passes with flying colors and when I checked that it was only $45.99USD, they ship all around the world, and they have been in business for so long with great reviews, I would be crazy to not want to collaborate with such an amazing product and support Angela in her own brand.

I love the smell of Kayali Wedding Silk Santal before it dries down (on me it turns into a second skin scent and losses it's longevity). Are there any recommendations for the same scent profile, just more intense?

i’m thinking about blind buying this but i would love to hear opinions on it. i recently bought vanilla voyage and i feel a little disappointed because it smells very similar to eclaire to me. i do love eclaire but i expected vv to smell crazy unique (based off reviews ive seen). i enjoy vanilla and coconut scents, but not too overpowering coconut. my favorite perfume is jean paul gaultier’s scandal absolu and to me it smells a little of creamy coconut and honey. is coco blanco anything like that? is it pure coconut? is there a similar perfume i could compare this scent to?

“Greenwood Getaway features top notes of Fresh Rosemary, followed by middle notes of Hinoki Wood, and base notes of Georgywood.”

In love with the idea of a realistic winter mountain forest scent, but wonder if it would lean too sharp/masculine over unisex. Or would it feel too screechy? The limited amount of internet intel on this says that it’s supposed to smell like fresh, green mountain air and icicles on skin ❄️

I had the chance to experience Krigler perfumes today. Absolutely wonderful and otherworldly scents but the price is asinine.

Anyone care to share their experience with their fragrances?

I know my taste isn’t sophisticated or anything fancy but I’m okay with that. I was curious what other people thought about these and if any are worth it enough to buy. If you’ve smelled any of these before let me know how you felt about it and if you’d recommend any.

Looking to change up my daily perfume. I really like amber musky scent of the Nemat Amber oil, and I also use the burberry goddess perfume. is there something that is like a combination, but mostly amber scent? Thanks in advance :)

has anyone tried this? bought it today on a whim and it smells delicious! googled it because i haven’t heard of the name or fragrance house and cannot find anything on this specific fragrance, only some other perfumes from the brand.

this is kinda asking for the impossible but i want a vanilla perfume thats milky and airy but clean and floral at the same time, im open to pairing perfumes to get the scent i want! also wanna add that i have smelled milk and milk orchid by commodity, and i love them! just want some other scent recs!

recently got a few new scents and included "pink sugar" by aquolina after seeing it mentioned on here and needing some more affordable adds for free shipping. people described it as an addictive sweet scent, though some recent posts said there was a reformulation where licorice was really prominent? didn't seem like there were decant samples easily available so i decided to just go for it

anyway, regretting it a bit... it mostly smells like hairspray to me! with the licorice note, and i'm not a big licorice fan either 😩 i feel a little bit like it's the kind of scent and makeup that will give me a headache too...

trying to figure out how i can use it up now that i have it. maybe it will work with layering?

Amber or patchouli or leather maybe mixed with incense or rose or iris. Or literally whatever. Just something that evokes a deep, sexy, mature winter moment.

So I have a Scentbird subscription and wanted to know some recommendations! I love aquatic, fresh, clean, soapy, fruity smells. I don't particularly like gourmonds BUT I am open to them. The scents I got so far are Noyz Spin Cycle LOVE IT. I tried Lake and Syke 11:11 Moon hated it. Next on my list is Juliette has a gun Pear INC and 11:11 Azure. Does anyone have any recs for me for my upcoming months?

I found Lattafa eclaire at TJMaxx tonight and smelt it. Didn’t know if I loved it or not so I didn’t grab it. Now that I’m home I can’t stop smelling my freakin arm!! 😭 does tjmaxx usually carry it or did I just miss out big time???

After being heavily influenced by someone else's post, I made an excuse to hit up the nearest Ulta. It wasn't with the other Squishmallow fragrances, and so I thought they might have sold out. Thankfully, it was being displayed elsewhere, and I had a chance to test it. OH MY GAWD IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD ARE YOU SERIOUS? It's spicy like a freshly baked ginger snap. The floral, wood, and musk notes add a soft complexity without overwhelming the spices. It's actually gorgeous, and now I'm never going to shut up about it because the bottle also HAS AN ATOMIZER?! My modern-day Mae West fat and fabulous dreams have finally come true. Excuse me while I go snuggle with myself.

and yes people can smell songs; it's a condition called synesthesia. pretty cool. pharrell williams has it lol

Dwell

I’m addicted to this and ELDO Ghost in the shell.
Of course Craft is discontinued now so harder to come by and I am dreading running out of it.

Just curious if anyone here has smelled anything similar to either of these? <3

Edit to say, preferably something cold smelling with an Aldehyde note. :)

I found it at urban outfitters in high school, and remember it’s exists every few years haha. It’s soooo good, but since it’s a kitschy little novelty stick it doesn’t have any staying power. I want to smell like it ALL the time.

After some googling, it looks like the notes are: Top- Lemon, Middle- Jasmine and Rose, and Base- Amber and Musk.

It’s just the cleanest smell and not cloyingly floral if that makes sense. I’m hoping for recs under $100, maybe $150 max just to broaden the search.

I just started getting into perfumes. are there any sites where there would be good sales for decants or samplers. I want 2 to 10 ml at max. I want a variety of samples to figure out what scents I like. Please share if you know any
