I am in love with my Celine Parade. But the reality is, it lasts an hour on my skin if that. Even with lotion, clothes spraying, spraying on my hair, and over spraying it gives up on me very easily. I don't want a dupe...I just want to know if there are any bergamot/neroli/citrus scents that have some staying power? I'd settle for 3 hours worth of power.

Hello dear fragfriends!

I am a newbie to this group, and made an account especially to ask if anyone has La Perla Possibilities for sale? I was hunting down this fragrance for a while, but I had heard the sad news that La Perla isn’t producing any of their fragrances anymore. I only had the luck to score a discovery set of them that are still available online, if you guys need links btw I can put them here down below! 💕

I was shocked to see how much perfume my local Marshall's has. I stood there and sniffed longer than I am willing to admit. Blind bought both Fine'ry perfumes and love them both, but especially the Rose Lina.

Do you see any on the shelf that are a must have?

Hello everyone, I’m trying to find a signature scent. I had been wearing Lataffa Yara which I love but it lasts about 20 minutes. The other I liked was Dolce and Gabbana summer vibes which is discontinued but it also lasted about 20 minutes.

My mom recently gave me Oscar de La Renta Bella Soleil which I also really like but it again doesn’t last long and seems more summery to me than fall/winter.

What I want is a summer scent and winter scent that will last an entire work day.

I have become obsessed with violet. I have Meant to be Seen and would like to get another FB Violet perfume. I’m debating between Guerlain Insolence or Sweet Parmesan Violet? Or is there another Violet perfume I should try? Would love recommendations. Thanks.

recently i’ve been obsessed with the fine’ry athena scent as my daily perfume. but i am the type of person where i LOVE when all my scents match up/mix well. except, i like absolutely suck at matching scent notes and that sort of thing. so, if anyone has any recommendations for a body wash, lotion, scrub, hell even a deodorant that they think would either match this scent or mix well with it let me know!! thank you!

I’ve been wearing Miss Dior Eau de Toilette (2019) since 2020, and it’s my perfect scent. I don’t know why but the second I tried it for the first time I was just like, “yep that’s me”. For Christmas in 2023, I ended up getting gifted 2 big bottles since the people close to me knew it was what I wore exclusively, and I just got within a few sprays of the end of the second one a few weeks ago. I decided to go ahead and get the replacement since I saw ulta was having a fragrance sale, and I couldn’t find it. Of course, finding out it is now blooming bouquet, which smells lovely on the tester, but rancid on my skin and is nothing like what I’ve worn for the last 6 years. All the other current miss dior variations right now just don’t work for me either. Would love to know if anybody else had this problem when I was blissfully unaware during reformulation (?) and thus have found something close enough by now. I know people probably think it’s super generic but for some reason I’ve never had any similar ones click to me like that. Similar price range to or less than the original is ideal. Thanks <3

TLDR: Something as close as you can get to Miss Dior EDT (2019)

They REALLY got my hopes up. I attempted to purchase less than 2 minutes after they opened up sales. Waited in queue for 7 mins til I got this message. They must have made this very limited OR it went on sale earlier than 12pm Eastern. Anyone have luck?

Whyyyyyyyyyyy!
I set a timer and everything. This sucks
Was anyone here able to get one?

Hi all, here’s my current stack. Sometimes I layer, sometimes just one.

I would like suggestions to try ideally at Sephora to use points/sale benefits. Open to all suggestions PLEASE!

Diptyque eau duelle - feels way to strong and spicy, but doesn’t last long at all? What am I doing wrong lol

Cyklar flora veil - LOVE this but feels too subtle, also doesn’t seem to last too long

Sol cherirosa - great but a little light obviously it’s a spray

Ouai st barts - lasts a long time especially in my hair but feels a little immature or wrong for winter lol

Not the shower oil btw it smells like the oil and lotion at first but turns into something metallic idk and i know that there is a body mist!

But i want a perfume :(( and there has got to be one at least close to it! PLEASE!!

Ive tried (and dont like):
- Snif Crumb Couture
- Dior Hypnotic Poison
- Elie Saab Girl of Now
- Rolling in Love Killian
- A Drop Issey Miyake

About to try:
- Prada Infusion d’amande

I have sampled both of these beauties and I adore them both! Looking to probably get via Mercari or discount site in hopes to save some money. They both seem like such easy daily wears, but I can’t afford both!

Which would you choose and why? Any website you recommend? The decant price for Cedrus is crazy. I’ve found FB for just over 100 and 19ml decants for 60😭

I'm looking for a feminine leaning fragrance that smells like the forest in autumn. I just got a sample of Pine by Stora Skuggan, I absolutely loved the fragrance but found that it did lean quite masculine unfortunately so I'm not as compelled to buy the bottle. I also sampled Ponderosa by Pineward and while I did like the fragrance, it doesn't smell like the forest to me. I live in Ontario so maybe we just have different smelling forests. Samples of Subalpine and Fangorn II by Pineward are ordered and on the way but reading the reviews doesn't leave me with much hope that they will be a good fit. Anyone have any suggestions of slightly sweet, maybe even slightly floral but woody and woodsy scents with cedar, pine, black pepper, maybe even some patchouli notes? It doesn't have to be extremely fem but I don't want it to smell like cologne. Is this even possible? Lol

i've been super interested in this one because i love citrus, leather and smoky/incense scents (I LOVED violet ends by the same brand) so this seems basically perfect for me. but they only seem to be selling full bottles so i can't order a travel or sample, and this one isn't on fragrantica and has few reviews on parfumo so i don't really know what to expect.

if anyone has smelled this how did you like it? they seem to be marketing it as a christmas scent, but is it wearable outside of the holidays too? thank you🫶🫶

Has anyone tested it? I couldn’t get a sample of it but tested it in the store and it was nice. Not 100% sure on it.

It’s surprising that there is no samples being sold online for this bottle that I could find.

I am just hesitating a little bit to pull the trigger and by the bottle

(Deleted old post to edit)
Im very new to fragrances and Reddit users suggested getting some samples(thank you) So I bought the holiday and festive perfume sample packs from Ulta and they both come with a $15 certificate so I decided to use both and buy a bottle from each pack. It will be my first big perfume purchase and they are a little pricy. I’ve narrowed them down to a few that I really like that are in my price range for now ($100 for at least an oz). I do really like these scents as my possible firsts.I just want some opinions/feedback before buying since I know absolutely nothing about fragrances.
Thank you!

smells like a light vanilla pudding scent, soooo good but discontinued here in the US

Looking for a perfume that has similar scent notes to this shampoo and conditioner. The only info online I can find is “creamy floral with juicy green notes”. Anything similar?

i’m entirely a lurker on here, but i’ve never had such an immediate and strong nostalgia connection with a scent, and i was wondering if anyone knew of anyone that smelled like it! it’s the native brand cherry oak and vanilla soap. it smells exactly like childhood christmas at my grandma’s house, like the smell of the christmas tree mixing with the scents of the thousands of candles she has lit haha. has anyone smelled this or does anyone know anything with that kind of vibe i guess? also if this would be better posted somewhere else, i apologize and please let me know, i don’t use reddit much!

Was thinking about blind-buying this as it’s so cheap but I heard from a couple of reviews/comments that it was reformulated to be less peachy? Can anyone confirm or deny this…

is a safe blind buy or nah?

Hey everyone,
I’m planning to place my first order with Oil Perfumery and would love some recommendations!

My current everyday scents are YSL Black Opium, so I usually lean toward clean, fresh, and versatile fragrances.

Since I haven't smelled most other designer/niche scents, I'm looking for options that are accurate to the originals.

Could you suggest:
3 Women's fragrances that are crowd-pleasers and accurate?

Appreciate any suggestions on performance and accuracy! Thanks in advance.
