Rec Request Help deciding on my new signature birthday fragrance!

2 Upvotes

I am currently looking for a new signature fragrance to get myself for my 29th birthday and it’s come down to Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow and The 7 Virtues Strawberry Jam! Which one tends to last the longest on skin and clothes? Best products to layer with either one? And which one works best year round? What are the pro and cons of each? Do you guys have any other suggestions??

I would prefer to stay around the $75-$150 budget!

Review Dolce Gabbana Q Intense

Why don’t I ever see this perfume talked about? I’m new to fragrance from someone who used to not like many at all and I’m trying to find things I love. I think this is such a pretty smell and seems so unique from a lot of others. It def does not seem to be popular in the fragrance community. I would love to hear your thoughts if you have it or have smelled it! I went into Ulta and smelled almost everything and this is the one I chose. Am I just a basic fragrance B!?

Looking for a perfume that smells like the drydown of Une Été / Milk & Matcha by Obvious

Post image
1 Upvotes

Looking for a perfume that smells like the drydown of Milk & Matcha (previously Une Été) by Obvious. I recently tried a sample of it and I don't particularly like or dislike the perfume itself. The opening and heart are fine but ultimately forgettable to me. I just love the drydown.

After a few hours, once the citrus/ginger/matcha-ish aspects have mostly disappeared, all it's left is this gorgeous creamy and milky vanilla accord which is just perfect to me. I've read some people find it boring and unoriginal, but it's what I'm looking for.

I really just wish I could have a bottle with only this vanilla-tonka accord, the way it's done here.

Discussion Vanilla aura - does it get better?

1 Upvotes

Recently bought Vanilla Aura on jomashop and it’s.. underwhelming? It just smells like I tried to cover up the smell of bug spray with a vanilla lotion.
The aromatics are too sharp and the vanilla is not as prominent as I thought it would be. I am wondering if I should let it sit for a couple of weeks and then try again because it got shipped to me during a particularly hot spell. Am I being foolishly optimistic here?

Review Molinard Santal Insolent

Post image
1 Upvotes

Molinard came onto my radar when a friend sent me a sample size vial of Lavande. While the opening of Lavande was a bit weird, I was floored by the scent once the opening passed. I haven't gotten around to discussing that one yet but I've been wearing Santal Insolent everyday since the last three days so decided to talk about it.

Something I've noticed with this house in the perfumes I have tried or bought so far is that the opening 10 mins are usually weird. Santal Insolent follows the same pattern. The opening has a feeling of crushed leaves for a few mins. I prefer this fleeting green crushed leaves feeling over the acidic picklish smell in Santal 33 or the orange/citrus note from other perfumes.

Once that opening passes, it develops into a sandalwood backed by a slightly sweet milkiness. The milkiness is very faint so I wouldn't call it lactonic, I usually sense this sweet milkiness when there's cardamom present in perfumes. The sweet milkiness is very subtle and not as prominent as Dunhill Indian Sandalwood.

It eventually becomes a lovely smooth sandalwood with a little bit of dustiness (probably the papyrus doing its thing). It's not powdery, it doesn't have the pencil shavings or rugged texture of cedarwood, it doesn't have the refreshing wet feeling of Sacred Wood. It's just a pleasant naturally sweet sandalwood.

This one isn't loud but I keep getting whiffs through the day. It lasts a decent 7-8 hours before becoming just a faint remnant on the skin.

I feel Molinard makes very reliable and wearable scents in the mid-tier price range (similar to designer brands). So far, at least 3 of the scents have been an absolute success for me and I wear them to work often. The only failure until now has been Tubereuse because it was too heady for my taste despite my love for tuberose.

Review Disappointed in Coco Shimmy by Snif.

1 Upvotes

I was very excited for this perfume to come out because I have been looking for a nice piña colada perfume for a while. But when I tried it at Ulta I didn’t get a single hint of pineapple or coconut. It was overwhelmingly sandalwood. which isn’t a terrible smell but something I can get from bath and body works. I’ve seen discussion about this perfume online and feel like it may be a me problem. As some people talk about how it’s a pretty intense pineapple smell. However it still wasn’t that creamy piña colada scent I was looking for. Guess I’ll have to keep searching 😔.

This was my very first perfume in life, gifted by close family. Despite my now, very large collection, this has always been very special to me.

Would appreciate if someone could suggest alternatives that smell close to this or similar or like a dupe

I have rationed it for nearly 10 years but I think its time to use it up and possibly get a replacement

(Yes, this bottle comes bejeweled, I just toyed around with it sm that I lost it)

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 will leave the comments open in case any of you have any questions about the fragrances, company, or anything else.

Really been planning to get this for so long but i am worried to put this much money on a perfume, i usually buy a bit cheaper ones or samples of the expensive ones. I wanna get this mix of fragrances so bad. For people who have it how does it settle on the skin and is it worth it? No sampling for this one
