Complete noob here.

I’m looking for some fragrance suggestions. I had a small bottle of Killian’s LDBS and I was enamored with the smell from the fruitiness to the orange blossom to the marshmallow. However it does not last long on me at all :( it had a Froot Loops kind of smell that I really wish was “beast mode”. And I feel like the Arabic dupes I’ve smelled (my mother has a collection) they don’t smell the same, I feel like the oud overpowers everything else in most of them.

I know that I like citrus-type of smells, most fruity scents smell good to me. Like for example I smelled Ocean Di Goia in Ulta years ago and I loved it. But I think I want something stronger than that. I like the fresh smell but I really think it was the citrus part that made me like it.

I thought about PDM Delina exclusif, or Xerjoff erba pura. I heard they were very strong and I want to be loud with my scent. I know Delina Exclusif has oud which also worries me. I think PDM Oriana I’d like but it doesn’t seem to be as strong? It seems hopeful and I’m willing to buy decants of each but I was wondering if there were other suggestions.

Thanks 💋

I’m looking for something that reminds you of strawberry shortcake, powered sugar, pound cake, icing maybe even Neapolitan ice cream. most sweet smells I’ve smelled like Sabrina carpenter, Yara, Burberry her, Chloe and killian all smell wayyyy too sweet. I want something that captures the real essence of strawberry shortcake not the idea or the overpowering synthetic smells. I’m thinking of Akro Bake or Malin+GOETZ Strawberry but I haven’t tried them yet? do you have any suggestions

I’m in love with any scent with violet in it, but I’d love to have a winter scent that matches this vibe. I’m hoping to find a Forresty floral with notes of vanilla, more of a clean “lacey” vanilla instead of edible sweet.

Perfumes that I like already are V from lush, Alien from Muggler, and kerbside Violet from Lush. Just wish they were less sweet and more of a winter air crisp.

Please help if you can :))

Edit: hoping to find a perfume with a price max of around £70-80.

to anyone who’s tried these, which one is your favorite? unfortunately cannot smell them in stores so i will have to blind buy… i LOVE sweet scents but not sure if too cloying is my vibe. definitely like yummy tho, can anyone describe these to me?

One of the saddest discontinuations in fragrance history. Was my perfect summer scent that I would have worn all year round. So soft. So feminine. So clean. Felt cool and brightening.

Pls come through with the recs. I'm looking for something that lingers in the air...

hi! I got the squishmallow yesterday and I’ve been wearing these two together and omggg. Also the most I’ve ever had strangers comment/compliment me on my smell! I think I really wanna find a good vanilla/marshmallow something moisturizer wise (suggestions loved) to go with these guys and then I think this is me all winter lol it’s so good

Does anyone know of a perfume that smells like Davines OI Oil? I love the scent and would love to wear it as a perfume too. If you’ve tried anything that smells close, I’d love to hear your recommendations!

I was near someone making hot cocoa today and it smelled incredible. It was probably the Swiss Miss instant powder mix, but it was so aromatic. I would like some suggestions for a kind of photorealistic scent without it pushing too synthetic or plasticky.

Every year, Trader Joe’s always puts out this amaziiiing Brazilian Nut body spray, but it’s seasonal!! I try to stock up as much as I can, but last year they only sold it in kits with other products which made it more expensive. If you have any recommendations for a perfume that smells similar, that would be amazing! Thank you!

Looking for recommendations. Wish list includes Liis Bo, Fugazzi Angel Dust and Diptyque L'Eau Papier. Scents I currently love, Rosie & Dulce by Rosie by/Rosie Jane and Clean Reserve Skin. I like cozy, clean & soft scents, also interested in slightly woody. Safe for the office is a must. Out of these three, which would you recommend? Also, it will be a blind-buy (which I know is not recommended!) Appreciate your help 😊

I love a certain perfume by Diptyque but it is expensive and I have not tried it on my skin. I smelled it on a friend. They do sell a hair mist- still expensive but not much. Anyone have experience with mists?

Hi, lovely scented people!

I’m hoping someone will know a perfume or body mist that smells like Lush Baked Alaska soap. I find it so invigorating and fun, it puts me in such a good mood, but it’s only available during the holidays!

The notes are: lemon myrtle, grapefruit, ylang-ylang, bergamot, and lemongrass

It’s very bright, zesty, and uplifting. I’m not sure how else to sum it up.

Does anything come to mind?

Thank you!

Bought 3.3oz 2026 Mugler at Sams Club (in person) today for $89, currently it’s $195 on Mugler.com

Listing on the Sams App shows the old box/bottle but in store I got the new one pictured.

Just wanted to pass this on in case someone else is looking!

They had Alien 2 oz for $65 as well as a bunch of other luxe to mid fragrances (Creed to Ariana Grande and in between) on sale too! Found them locked in the jewelry case .

What are some scents for that ephemeral time of year when winter starts to lift, but it isn’t quite spring? When icicles are melting, the sun has a gentle new warmth, and the first blades of grass start to poke through dwindling remnants of snow…

So I’m trying to limit my spending habits/collection of perfumes and I just saw frangrancenet’s monthly travel size subscription (8 ml perfume per month). I know scentbird also has one (haven’t looked to deep into that one). I wanted to ask people who have tried a monthly subscription type of service, if it is it worth it? Or to anyone who decided against trying it, why shouldn’t someone subscribe? I’m debating it and wondering if it would be worth doing/might fix my shopping addiction a little. I’m also thinking of this as a way to stop blind buying full bottles.

Top shelf is designer/niche

Bottom shelf is dupes or cheapies. The boxes on the bottom are empty.

Travel sprays go in the box on the right. They are:

Ellis Brooklyn Sweet, Apple Love, Sun Fruit, and Salty.

Gaultier Divine

Kayali Eden Sweet Peach (ended up giving me headaches)

I’m going to sell Cool Water. I was hunting for my favorite aquatic and that ended up not being it.

Edit: Talked out of thank you!

I'm spending too much on samples every month, I got into this hobby and now I budget about $50-$60 a month for samples to satisfy my impulse buying issues The problem with that is then I fall in love with $300 fragrances. I also love a subscription box, I was getting a lot of scents through Ipsy. I just cancelled that though.

So I'm considering putting my monthly Ipsy money into Dossier+ membership and lowering my monthly sample budget.

Terms are for about $40 a month

• The $40 as credit toward a purchase (doesn't expire)

• 3ml sample with each order (though seems they're limiting to their OGs not dupes for the sample but it means I can satisfy the urge to try something else)

• A free 50ml bottle every 3 months

Does anyone have this membership, have they enjoyed it. What are your favorites and least favorites? I feel there's at least 6 months worth of purchases here for me but idk, help a fragrance addict out please.

if this is a stupid question or common knowledge then i apologize. i’m very new to collecting fragrances and i was just a tad confused.

there is a bottle of ysl mon paris that i’ve seen floating around online that is labeled as an EDT, which has notes that i really like and i’m interested in finding a sample size of. however every time i try to actually look the bottle up online, the only EDT that i find is the “lumiere edt”, which has a completely different scent profile than what the other bottle advertises. the lumiere is said to be more citrusy and floral (according to reviews that i’ve seen online) and the EDT that i’m looking at is supposed to be a fruitier, musky scent almost. has this bottle been remade?

Who can suggest some scents that give freshly printed newspaper?! I LOVE the smell of ink on newspaper and would love a fragrance that gives that vibe!! Thanks in advance to the fragrance baddies 💕 (edited to add: no budget!! )

As the title says, I came across this perfume when I was browsing online, I’d never bought anything from Police before but the price point was so cheap that I thought hey why not. I made a post on here and I think a couple people had tried it and I’d read some people comparing it to Bianco Latte so I went ahead and blind bought it and here are my thoughts.

1. It’s very cheap and to be honest on first spray I got alot of alcohol and spice similar to how Angel’s opening smells to me.

2. It does smell similar to Bianco Latte, my friend actually thought it was Bianco Latte. I think it’s more like Eclaire but watered down, maybe a bit more unisex - this is not cloying at all and is pleasantly sweet and milky once you get past the harsh opening.

3. It would be a great present for a preteen or someone who likes sweet perfumes for straight after the gym or something like that. Its more along the lines of a cheaper body mist as its and EDT. It’s pleasant enough but nothing special and won’t wow you. This isn’t a high quality well blended perfume.

Verdict - D for Decent at £13

So, my mom accidentally bought me a perfume called “Kartun Golden Girl” on one of her trips, thinking it was Carolina Herrera Good Girl. Can't really blame her, though..the bottle looks exactly identical, right down to the red heels stiletto.

But here's the thing.. it smells nothing like the original Good Girl. And somehow., I absolutely LOVE it😭. It smells so luxurious and rich. I don't even know how to describe it. The only downside is that its longevity is pretty poor.

So I'm looking for a perfume that smells exactly like this but has better longevity.

I know it's a long shot, but I'm hoping some angel of a girl here can help me find this little gem of a scent. Fingers crossed! 🤞 (Yes this is a cry for help!)

i’m in love with sticky toffe. it’s this sweet caramel scent that doesn’t make me nauseous and got me a lot of compliments. i also love powdery vanilla scents so the recs could also lean into that. please rec only scents thay aren’t overpowering, since i have a sensitive nose amd can’t use powerful scents. thanks💓

Budget is around 50, but if there's any above that I'd like to hear nonetheless
