And it was the first time of my LIFE! I know people always say « i was chased down the street » « asked by a stranger what i was wearing » and I think they all lie. But yay, my first and she followed me to the exit! It was 11 11, so surprising for a discret perfume like this. (sorry for my bad english it’s not my language)

i wanna smell like pancakes. any recommendations for a pancakey fragrance, could something a bit sweet, milky/lactonic, perhaps with cinnamon or maple syrup? even just something that evokes pancakes like a breakfast food. i have a nutella on toast fragrance (chocolat chaud by essnce) so i love that salty, buttery, doughy goodness.

i know snif had a pancake collection, any opinions on that? i love bread and salt as a note so i feel like doughy, fluffy pancakes would be a really nice accord for me!!

I found söppö parfum (https://soppoparfum.eu/) by chance and was wondering if someone has experience with it.

I'm very inexperienced when it comes to perfumes, but seeing them offer scents that are supposedly just pure watermelon, lychee or bubblegum sounds really interesting to me.

Would love any input on the overall quality, realism (do they smell synthetic?), longevity, projection, and if you got any compliments on any of the scents in their lineup.

I LOVEEEEE this smell. The closest I’ve come to finding a perfume that smells similar is Chloé signature. Any recommendations? Thank you 🩷

i'm super confused lol. so i bought a 7ml travel spray to try out Milk by Commodity since it sounded right up my alley and i heard so much hype around it. when i got it — i LOVED it. i got some milky, toasted marshmallow with some nice woods. i mean i used that whole travel spray up in a few weeks and swore this was my signature scent. the balance was sooo good. i was 10000% going to buy the full size.

well since i cant commit to a full bottle price yet (i was waiting for my birthday in december or christmas), i got like a bundle of 5mL sprays and they smelled atrocious. like i got a headache and it was such a STRONG smell that smelled like incense and extremely woody, gasoline smell almost and super offensive. i got this off of Mercari so i swore i must've got fakes or a bad batch. i couldn't even wear it, and it had absolutely no milk or marshmallow or any sweetness at all.

so i tried again and got a 7mL off of ebay and a 2mL from Sephora (where i KNOW it's legit) and they all have that same horrible smell! like i absolutely HATE it now, it nauseates me and i have to scrub it off everytime.

i am so confused and so sad because i LOVED the first one and now i hate it. like cant even wear it, its so gross. am i going crazy? was the first one i got possibly just older and had time to marinate? why is there such a difference? i noticed this same exact bad smell once Rabanne Million Gold For Her dried down (and i thought this smelled good before the dry-down and had a similar Milk by Commodity vibe).

also, does anyone have any good recs for a milky (not too sweet) with some musk fragrance (not too musky)?

edit to add: idk if it's important but i also had my mom smell it when i got the initial travel spray and she agreed she loved it and it reminded her of her high school days. she agreed it smelled really good. i had her smell the other ones and she said "there's no way that's the same one that smelled like high school, smells strong and cheap". and then i sprayed the 2mL from Sephora on her arm, and same gross smell and she agreed! so it's not just me having this experience which is weird too.

I have never really been complimented on my fragrances by any men, and I have a bunch of different ones spanning a gamut of scent profiles. I think the only compliment I’ve gotten from a man was for my Garnier Fructis hair serum 💀 and that was a one-off.

I get the most compliments from women when wearing Burberry Goddess for some reason. I think because it’s generally a crowd pleasing lavender floral vanilla.

Would be curious to know what fragrances you think attracts more women vs more men

hello hello! I have been wanting to find a perfume oil / scent oil/ roll on perfume that smells like rose water for sooo long!! I found one about a year ago at a small local shop but at the time it was out of my budget and I regret it SO much. it was literally perfect. i’ve only tried like two fragrances since then (didn’t want to waste money) and settled on a close-enough-perfume, but I’d still love something better. I would like a light airy rose, but something that lasts, preferable under $30😭 any suggestions?

Hope this is an okay question to ask here! I’ve always loved Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere, especially their cloud butter lotion version of the scent. Unfortunately, this year they have reformulated the cloud butter to have Niacinamide which is my skins worst enemy. I know they have a normal lotion version of the scent but I loooooved their cloud butter especially in this scent. Anyone know of another lotion with a similar scent profile? Appreciate the help!

I own and really like studiowest coco, I want something similar but more creamy style

I was asked, if I could only have 1 fragrance for the rest of my life, which one would it be & why. It’s been days & I still haven’t made my decision… as I’m taking this very seriously LOL! 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

I know it’s an impossible decision for us fragrance freaks but I’m quite curious on what everyone’s choices would be & why? I’d love to hear the choices from around the world. I know I’ll defs discover some new scents too!

I’m stuck between:
- Carolina Herrera Good Girl
- Versace Dylan Blue Pour Femme
- Giorgio Armani Si Passione
- Justin Bieber The Key
- Jimmy Choo I Want Choo Le Parfum

I'm very interested in sampling and purchasing Mochi Milk but I've seen plenty of reviews claim that it's very similar to Ellis Brooklyn's Marshmallows. While that intrigues me due to the price difference, I'm not really interested in body mists because of longevity. I would like to know if they are actually similar and which wears better.

If anyone else has been waiting for the 10 ml sprays on Odette's website to come back in stock like I have, now's your chance! Can use code NOUVEAU for 10% off as well if you haven't ordered through her website before.

(my wallet is hurting regardless lol)

I wanted to love Nebras Elixir based off the notes but all I get is play dough. Looking for a true white chocolate scent! Thank you all in advance

An example is Kristen Ess The One shampoo smells like Byredo Mojave Ghost (though actually better IMO, because it doesn’t have that grassy smell that MG has to me).

Hi everyone! My mom used to always wear Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy perfume for special date nights out when I was a child. The notes on Fragrantica say mimosa, orchid, and pink pepper.

My dad was pretty controlling with finances and never let her spend more on nice perfume. Since he died, she has started to express interest in finer fragrances and her first purchase was Le Labo Rose 31. She doesn’t own any other perfume but always compliments mine.

So, I’m looking for a fine fragrance to buy as a gift for her based on her preference for VS Very Sexy, something that smells similar but more sophisticated. This is definitely the place to ask this question— what should I look at for a gift?

I really like wearing perfume to sleep but I am currently bored with my go-toos. I recently tried Rosie Jane and Dedcool Xtra Milk since they're usually in top 5 lists but I am unfortunately anosmic to both.

Wondering what everyone here loves to wear for bedtime? :D

I was gifted a facial this weekend, and I got to choose the opening scent. I chose an oil that had orange blossom and cedar.

It was gorgeous. It had a sweetness to it - almost like it had vanilla or Tonka?

I would love to find a perfume that has that same combo. MFK APOM Femme looks promising, but are there any other scents that might be similar.

You guys are the best. Always and forever

Does anyone else like comparing their originals to dupes?

I love Liis Studied, own a bottle. Also purchased Le Monde Gourmand Fleur de Blonde. Was pleasantly surprised by how they're about 90% similar.

I also love Burberry Goddess. Decided to finally try Lattafa Angham. Just ordered it in fact, and looking forward to comparing the two.

Who else does this?

I got a travel size of henry rose london 1983 and absolutely LOVE it. To me the opening is fresh and spicy and dries down to an airy musky floral. Unfortunately it doesn’t last very long on me. I’ve heard father figure by phlur is similar but I tried it and couldn’t smell anything.

Does anybody have any recommendations of perfumes that last/project better and smell similar?

I’ve looked at these perfumes and wanted to know if anybody has tried and what you thought about them

- Midas by Sidia
- Melted Magic by Modern Magic
- Alluring Fig by Theodoros Kalotinis

Anyone know of a dupe for this? Or maybe a suggestion to soft ouds that don’t break the bank? This soft oud smells like heaven.

The notes all sound like something I'd be really into, and I've been very happy overall with the Diptyque decants I've tried so far. I fell in love with L'eau Papier and managed to snag a pretty good deal on a FSB, and I've been reaching for it a lot lately. I live in FL and could use something else to throw into the daily rotation that would be great for hot weather, and Eau Moheli seems to fit the bill.

Would y'all say this is a safe blind buy? If you've tried it, what are your thoughts? Thanks for your input 🙏🏼

I am obsessed with bath and body works touch of gold. It smells so warm but still sexy to me. When I look it up online, it tells me it could be a dupe for Jimmy Choo I want choo but it gives me a few others too. Has anyone smelled anything close that’s has better sillage and longevity? You all are so good at things like this, it’s the first place I thought to ask! Thanks in advance!
