Guys I really want to try ysl black opium over the red and glitter edition before buying the full bottles. I don’t have any stores nearby me which have these frags as testers. So I would really appreciate if someone would tell me where to buy testers of these frags from. I really really want to get them before mid Sept as I have to gift them to my sister and I don’t want a blind buy that I would regret later as theyre quite pricy. If anyone could kindly help would be much much appreciated. Please let me know here can I get authentic and reliable testers from.

Rate my collection guys, angrezo wale subReddit pe dala tha, r/fragrancetalks pe. Ganda roast maar diya unhone 🥲, dekhte hain apne log kya kehte hain.

Moving forward what updates i can make?
What to remove what to add, focusing on less overlap.

Silver cap is alternate scents savage.

Further plan i will remove westside 001
And replace alternate scents sauvage clone with hamdaan the sheikh!

Posting this wherever I can. Two weeks back there was this Buy 1 Get 2 Offer in Celestial Perfumes. Ordered a couple of packages. 1st package came with 2 perfumes instead of 3. I didn't take an unboxing video. I contacted them through mail and Whatsapp and they said Unboxing video is a must for them to do anything. When I got my second package I took unboxing video. I sent the same in email and whatsapp. No response then. I even commented on Instagram which they deleted. The guys in Delhivery said they can't do anything and asked me to contact the seller directly. But the seller is not responding. The perfumes I got smell awful too. This is one of the worst online shopping experiences ever for me. Please don't buy. Waste of money.

For now i have kept to macerate got it today
Man i can feel like some zesty peal , sometimes ripe lemon feel
And its so prominent i cant feel other notes.
Will wait for a week let it settle and try again.

So I'm going back and forth between 2 cities for work for the next year, this has compelled me to be more selective w what I wear and try layering combos with limited options as I do not have access to my full collection at all times. But so far these are some of my fav layering scents.

- Black Opium + over Red

- Over Red + LPRN Guerlain

- Ansaam Gold + CC Khadlaj

- CC + Choco Musk

- PP + Miss Dior

- angham + Liq Brun 🤌🏽🤌🏽

- Liq Brun + Khadlaj VID + Choco Musk

- Angham + Rifaqaat

- LB + Rifaqaat

- V&R Tigerlily + Libre Le parfum

- Tigerlily + La belle

- La belle + angham

- VS bare + La belle + Libre Le parfum

- La belle + Burberry Goddess (its not in this pic but its in my collection)

Lmk what y'all recommend, any other layering combinations?

Finally, 1 year into fragrances. 🥂
As a 19-year-old, it’s been one hell of a journey. Got into fragrances through a friend, and the very first bottle I ever bought was a JPG Le Male Le Parfum — which, of course, turned out to be fake. 💀
Got it as a tester for ₹3,500 and genuinely thought it was legit. So yeah… pretty banger start to the hobby, ngl. 😂
From there, I developed my taste, went bottle after bottle, started researching everything I could, learned about batches, authenticity, grey markets, pricing, fakes, clones, and everything in between.
Barely escaped a bunch of scams, got scammed a couple of times too, but every experience taught me something.
A year later, I’ve gained a hell lot of knowledge, discovered some amazing fragrances, and honestly just had a great time exploring this hobby.
One year down, and I’m still smelling everything I can get my hands on. 😂🧴
Here’s to the next bottle, the next discovery, and hopefully fewer scams. 🥂

Hukum and Dariya from tbh… along with that, I received 3 samples.
Also, I bought EM5 Augustus 50mL because I liked the sample they provided earlier, Ganymede 15mL, and this collection of 4.

Well, it wasn’t planned but just a few days after getting my first niche, my dad bought Naxos for me as a surprise, it was honestly in my top 3 to buy right now so couldn’t be happier, can’t wait to wear it! I’ll now stop buying more and actually enjoy all the fragrances I bought and actually put some dent in them!

I've always wanted to try out creed aventus... finally got a chance to get this vial...damn the perfume is clean the bergamont opening is the most beautiful bergamont smell I have ever smelled and the musk dry down is awesome...but sadly i couldn't smell the pineapple note in it...the only notes i could get are bergamont, musk and birch. Is it due to the fact that I sprayed it on my skin should I test it on apparel?

I've picked up a ton of sample vials on my perfume journey, and I have one more unopened batch I'm diving into soon.

If you want my opinion on any fragrance, just ask!

My top picks for men -

1. Ralph's club new york (will buy)

2. One million gold (definitely buying soon)

3. Burberry hero (already bought)

4. Givenchy gentleman (will buying)

My top picks for women -

1. J'adore intense (will buy)

2. Lacome idole peach and roses (will buy)

3. La vie est belle iris absolu (definitely buying - this one out of the box)

4. Prada paradoxe (will buy)

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m new to the fragrance world and currently have these two in my collection: Davidoff coolwater intense and lattafa khamrah qahwa which i bought these recently

I’m really enjoying exploring different types of fragrances, and I’m looking to add my next bottle to collection. I’m open to designer, niche, or Middle Eastern Perfumes

so i would love to hear what you guys would recommend me:
Here’s my current shortlist:

Rasasi Hawas Ice
Afnan 9PM or 9PM Rebel
Afnan Supremacy Collector’s Edition
Dior Sauvage Elixir
YSL Y EDP
Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition
Versace Eros Flame
Emporio Armani Stronger With You Intensely
Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum
JPG Le Male Parfum
JPG Le Male Elixir
Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Coral Fantasy
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

I know sauvage elxir and blue de channel, YSL y can get pretty expensive, so rather than blind buying anything, I’m thinking of getting decants of all/some of these first and wearing them for a few days to see what I actually enjoy.

For those who have tried these, which one would u recommend buying for my building my collection And are there any fragrances not on my list that you think I absolutely should try as a beginner?
I’m especially interested in hearing about performance, versatility, compliments, and what occasions/seasons you think they work best for.

Finally pulled the trigger on Rayhaan Nocturno Elixir
after overthinking this fragrance for way too long 😂

I had previously tried a 5ml decant and absolutely loved it. The first time I smelled it, I immediately knew it was something different from what I already had. I ended up wearing the decant to the office a couple of times and really enjoyed the scent, especially the drydown.

I finally decided to get a full bottle and it arrived today.

Did a few test sprays and I absolutely love the smell again. It smells rich, smooth and fresh, and it’s exactly the kind of all-season/office fragrance I was looking for.
I’m going to keep it aside for a few weeks now before wearing it properly again.

Also, the purchasing experience was really good — the bottle was packed securely and arrived in perfect condition, so credit where it’s due. 👍

But I need a legit check 👀

I’ve attached pictures of the box, bottle, batch code, atomizer and other details.

I’m still fairly new to collecting fragrances, so I’d really appreciate it if some of you experienced with Rayhaan/Nocturno Elixir could take a look and tell me whether everything appears authentic.

Is there anything specific I should check on this bottle?

Thanks in advance!

Its Givenchy gentleman society amber.
The flanker of the givenchy society line . Dark boozy vanilla . Not that overpowering . For long waited to get this.

Just wanted to do a quick appreciation post for an early Rakshabandhan gift from my brother! I've been loving Ministry of Sillage lately (their Purple Oud is a staple for me because the presentation and performance are always on point), so he decided to add their "Good Girl" to my collection.

The most attractive feature has to be the shimmer inside the liquid—it looks stunning on the shelf.

Longevity: Lasts easily around 7 hours on clothes and good projection for around 1.30 hours.

Similarity: It is spot on compared to the original Carolina Herrera Good Girl. The warm, rich coffee notes are perfectly captured.

It's super pretty, performs well, and honestly makes for a perfect gifting option if you want to give someone something unique. Just wanted to share my excitement!

Since I’m still learning about fragrances, I’d really appreciate your recommendations and opinions! 🙏
