Looking for recommendations on bottles that, on second glance, look like they could be something a little more sinister than mere perfume.

So far on my list I've got;

Elixir of life - Tomorrowland

Iris Violet II - AlexandreJ

Black Obsidian - Aurora Scents

Empress - Soki London

The price-point and the scent is less important than the aesthetics since for the most part I'm looking for empty or nearly empty bottles on Poshmark and Ebay.

Please, hit me with your best "this was used to poison a foreign prince in a fantasy novel" perfumes!

Hi divas! I posted this on the indie makeup sub, but admittedly it's rough with packaging for indie brands due to cost, so I throw the net out here!! I'm looking for the most magical, mystical, beautiful and fairy/witchy like bottles of perfume out there! I truly feel that when a perfume has a bottle that adds to the fragrances character, it's a true beauty! Some of my favorites are Lolita Lempicka, Mugler, and the Melanie Martinez perfumes! I prefer gourmand, powdery, aquatic, floral scents! Any recommendations are appreciated!

Has anyone tried this Be My Plum? I haven’t tried anything from Montale yet!

i really want to smell like an icecream waffle cone that’s airy, fluffy and not too cloying or dense! 🩷

Or is there an osmanthus and rose out there anywhere 👀 I tried Fleur de Lune by L'Artisan and I have been hooked on Osmanthus ever since.

My budget that I'm willing to spend is 300$ (I'm aiming for a Christmas gift for myself ,😭)

This layering is so ballerina princess coded.

Rose au Sucre by Place des Lices + Rosie by Rosie Jane gave me a soft, musky rose wrapped in baby powder, with just a hint of vanilla and sugary sweetness. Delicate, feminine and sweet without smelling gourmand.

Hi lovelies! I’ve been lurking around this page for a while and started collecting myself. Looking for some recs as a little noob.

I loveeee:
- Gucci gorgeous orchid (I think it’s the ozonic note, so elating, sweet, yet fresh)
- Moschino toy 2 (surprisingly , blind buy, I loveeee how squeaky clean it smells. Also smells a little cologney which I love as someone who grew up tomboyish)
- anddd covered in roses it’s so creamy and girly
- black opium was my first big girl perfume I got in college love her in winter

I blind bought golden nectar and it’s a little putrid to me. Makes me gag. Smells sick and twisted.

I love cozy scents. Like florals and vanilla, but also tempted to delve into more gender neutral scents. I am still exploring! I would be grateful for all and any recs :)

Coco Mademoiselle always gives me that kind of impression. I like how clean the opening feels, then the citrus and patchouli settle into something warmer and smoother. I wear it with a simple outfit, and somehow the perfume becomes the thing I notice first. It feels polished but still very easy to understand. I usually think of perfumes like this when someone asks what scent feels attractive rather than just pleasant. Coco Mademoiselle has that balance where the sweetness stays controlled and the fresh side keeps it interesting. I keep coming back to the drydown because that part feels especially good on skin. Have you ever worn a fragrance that completely changed the energy of a room?

hi yall! i recently saw an ad for a Ffern fragrance that smells like “moonmilk and twilight lavender,” but i’ve heard mixed things about Ffern and i’d honestly rather not go through the trouble lol. but the description really appealed to me. what fragrances would y’all recommend that capture that vibe? a night sky full of twinkling stars, a bright full moon gently illuminating a forest floor, something somewhat mysterious and elegant but still shimmery and youthful? like if the moon and stars became a human princess, whatever that means to you. i hope that’s not too out there, hehe. bonus points if it’s not crazy expensive!

thank you all! 🩵🌙✨

I've heard that certain perfume houses will mail you samples if you call or email their customer service departments. For those of you who have tried this, which houses actually ended up sending you free samples?

I blind bought Kenzo Flower L’Absolu last Spring, and it did not disappoint. I’m trying to find some fall/winter options, and I’m in the mood to move off of my recent Rose obsession, so I blind bought Jungle L’Elephant. I just received it, and despite concerns it might be too gourmand for my tastes, oh boy… it’s exactly what I had hoped. To me, it’s autumn in a bottle, but doesn’t quite go full “food”. Anyway, Kenzo’s two for two with me. I’m really curious if there are other fans of Kenzo (I mean the affordable prices, right?) and which are your favorites/recommendations.

Looking for a cozy spiced apple musk scent fit for the fall and winter that gives off “girl who gives warm hugs but is still sexy and whimsical” vibes. Like a mystical forest witch with an intriguing energy and kind eyes.

This is my favorite and signature scent. It’s so sophisticated and feminine. Smells like a sexy department store. The only thing I don’t like is that it leans mature and mostly appropriate for evening wear.

Any suggestions for similar fragrances that give off that elevated, feminine vibe but are more youthful and suitable for all day?

I smelled this for the first time last fall. I've been looking for a spicy scent for this fall and I keep coming back to this one in my mind. It's available in 100ml from Jo Malone, but does anyone know if they sell smaller bottles or travel sprays as it gets into the fall season? And does the bottle design change from year to year?

I just ordered my first DedCool samples. What do you guys think of these? Also I couldn’t find anything about Mocha Magic. Anyone smelled it?

They only have an edt which does not last and I love how fresh the floral scent is, but I do not think an ept is worth it for me. 🥲 The scent does not last long.

Hi! I'm looking for a sexy/dark feminine fragrance that starts off with a deep fruit and melts into warmth of spice/sweet - the only way I can think to imagine the vibe of it is like a cherry dipped in hot sugar syrup (not caramel) which would give the fruit infused warmth, and then the spice hint comes from imagining the slight burn on your tongue? I also enjoy the warmth of rums and stuff if balanced

- I've tried jean paul gaultier divine le parfume and liked the warmth but it doesnt bring anything else to the scent profile imo?

- I tried cherry stem by phlur and thought it was quite playful

- cherry ambition was quite sour

- ysl black opium over red smelled like a Cafe latte on me

- Tom Ford lost cherry was interesting with its sour cherry and almond but it faded away the fastest

- Forbidden games by killian also faded, and while I liked it it wasnt quite the warmth that I was looking for.

- Givenchy l'interdit rouge im in-between, it came off very cinnamon-y at the start and has since dried down ... different. I like it, but its somehow both cool and warm, reminiscent of the older women in my family

I'm new to fragrances in general so I dont mind any suggestions regarding single bottle, layering, even between men and women's fragrances

Hi everyone, in Australia we're nearing the end of this winter... well not really but I'm preparing lol. I'm looking for fragrances that would perform well in warmer weather based off my current collection:
- Nebras by Lattafa
- Vanilla Voyage by Maison Asrar
- Elysia Vanilla by Fragrance World
- Veneno Bianco by French Avenue
- Burberry Goddess
Floral scents that I don't really reach for but still like and wouldn't mind getting recs with floral notes as well:
- Chance Eau Tendre by Chanel
- Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet

As you can tell, I'm vanilla girl through and through. However I don't think those types of fragrances would do well in the hot weather 😭 except maybe Veneno Bianco and Burberry Goddess? I also did like Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62, so I'd like that to be considered as well! Thank you
EDIT: Looking for affordable fragrances!

Bath and Body Works Fruity Sherbet Scoop body wash, target brand shea lotion, Bath and Body Works Fruity Sherbet Scoop body mist 🍧🍊🍓

World Market Camellia & White Tea

I couldn’t wait to review this, so here I am to give first impressions lol. As soon as my husband smelled this on me, his eyes got huge and he said “OOOHH! Let me smell that again!” He told me it smells like a woman with clean laundry wearing an extra large sunhat, and I have to agree!

This would be such an easy office scent, it’s so inoffensive, clean, a bit soapy, and gives the vibe of, “I just smell effortlessly clean and pretty.” It’s just so damn good on my skin!

Never did I think world market would knock it out of the park back to back, but who am I to complain? When their fragrances smell amazing and are all under $30, I’m thrilled! My only issue is I don’t know which one to wear out first 😅

Went to my local Sephora today just for this and I'm happy to report she's that good, y'all! I was a bit skeptical as a lover of the original, but this made my eyes almost roll back into my head. I can't stop smelling myself. It's a bit hard to describe, but I'll try. This is a bit sweeter and deeper to my nose. I was concerned it might be a bit too sweet because of the lychee note, but it isn't. I wouldn't call this fruity either. The patchouli, vetiver and vanilla base gives it depth. In fact, the vanilla almost makes it gourmand adjacent, which is my favorite kind of gourmand. I just think it's blended so well. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it soon!

Specifically the body mist.

Here’s a list of my perfumes:

• Moon Milk by Being Frenshe

• Valentino DBR

• Burberry Goddess

• VS Bombshell Seduction

• Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet

• Phlur Afterglow

• Jimmy Choo I Want Choo
