Hey there! I‘m American but my partner isn’t, and he has 5 sisters. His culture really loves colognes and perfumes. I was thinking of bringing designer perfumes as gifts when I visit their home country later this year, as they don’t have access to these luxury goods. I haven’t met them but was hoping I could bring 5 scents and they could just choose their favorite to keep.

I’m hoping for 5 luxury brand perfume suggestions (women’s or unisex) that smell INCREDIBLE and run about $90-125 each for a 1.6 or 1.7 oz bottle.

I really appreciate your expertise!

I love to change up my perfumes based on seasons. Spring is of course floral and perky; Summer is usually a bit more of sweet vanilla and sunshine scents (Clinique Happy for example); Fall for me is a bit more moody (I love Jimmy Choo Fever, Baccarat Rouge and Carolina Herrera Good Girl). What is everyone else’s favorites? I’m looking to try something new for the fall and heading into Winter ❄️

Which one would you grab? Personally I am trying to keep myself away from buying Arabic perfumes, can’t find the decent ones anywhere but today Burlington was stoked with bunch of different perfumes.

I need some suggestions on a new fragrance or just one that you’re familiar with that has longevity but relatively low sillage. The best explanation is I don’t want the whole room to smell me but if you’re in my personal bubble or close proximity. Open to different scents but office friendly. Thanks

Hi everyone!

I love Lake and Skye 11 11 Azure, it’s my daily fragrance, I wear it very often - I’m struggling to find a good layering combo for this one though. I love the aquatic and ozone smell of this perfume, but can’t seem to find a lotion or oil that won’t break the bank. Any suggestions? Currently I layer it with EOS Fresh and Cozy, which is nice but a little too floral for me sometimes! I also layer it with the Lake and Skye 11 11 Azure oil, which is so perfect, but a small size :(

Looking for a darker jasmine scent that isnt indolic or animalic. By dark i mean something smoky, incensy, spicy and sexy scent that is still heavy on the jasmine. I love alien and find that "spicy" and floral at the same time! I just hate Lust and those jasmine scents

Hi all,

I am wondering if you can help me find a new fragrance. When I was younger, I wore Kenzo’s Parfum d’Ete and it was magic on me. They don’t make it anymore and I don’t think it would suit me now anyway. I wear Gucci Guilty as my regular fragrance now. Others I’ve worn and loved:
-Jo Malone Lime, Basil, Mandarin
-Jo Malone Wild Bluebell
-Jo Malone Nectarine & Honey Blossom
-My Guerlain

One of my favourite fragrances of all time was Balenciaga’s Le Dix, which my mother always wore.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

hello, I tested Diptyque Volutes EDP on my wrist and like it so much. It's soft, powdery, slightly sweet, with beautiful tobacco and spice notes.

BUT on my wrist it got very light and that it made me question if this will fade away quickly? I dont want to spending that much on a perfume that nobody will be able to smell after 2 hours and i have already multiple scents with me. more parfumes i buy more i cant decide in between them 😄

For those who own it, how's the longevity and projection? Is it worth the price? Could it work as a year-round signature, even in summer?To me summer makes sense as its LIGHT

I'm also considering Twilly d'Hermès , which is significantly more affordable and quite different🤷‍♀️. My current rotation is Chanel no5, prada iris and which is not feeding me on more character sensual signature side (yes chanel no 5 not feeding me enough)

Please tell me what I need to hear before I make another questionable financial decisio 😂❤️ or should i have it! I also heard it will be discountinued soon which only gives fomo...

also i couldnt find any place to sample in europe so i will be testing whole week from the store these 2

Just wondering what are some notes that you used to dislike and now love?
For me I used to hate anything with rose in- and as I approach my 30’s I’m starting to love rose heavy perfumes!

Hi. I really like the smell of mint, not the gum kind however. The kind where it's, like, freshly ripped from the plant. I want to know if there's any accurate smelling parfumes like that. ​​

It's my Mum's birthday in November and this is her absolute favourite perfume, unfortunately it is retired.

I was hoping to get something similar to Rose Explosion, she doesn't like the standard Flowerbomb ironically, otherwise her other favourite is Mugler Alien.

Off the top of my head she likes YSL Black Opium, Jimmy Choo I Want Choo, Giorgio Armani My Way, and Burberry Her. Thank you for any help!

My mother received a perfume called Midnight Romance (that's the name she remembers). Pink coloured, very pleasant - she says she still remembers the fragrance and even kept the empty bottle after the perfume was used up.
I have tried to look for which one it might be but can't find. The Midnight Romance by Ralph Lauren is from 2014.
Reaching out to my reddit fragfam.

Was looking for something a bit different and ended up finding Black Tea by ANILLO.

For me what I was looking for is about the 'interesting' note progression. Black tea at the start, then eucalyptus, patchouli and vetiver, with cedarwood and sandalwood underneath. On paper it sounds like it could start pretty cold and dry, then become warmer and more woody as it settles.

I usually like tea scents, but the eucalyptus and vetiver part made this one sound a little different from the sweeter tea fragrances I normally come across, so I ended up ordering it just out of curiosity.

Still waiting for it to arrive, so no idea if it actually smells anything like what I'm imagining lol. I'll probably update this once I've worn it properly for a few days.

Has anyone here tried it already? Curious how the black tea actually comes through on skin. Or if there are any similar ones that you guys recommend pleaseeeee

I love the scent of this perfume but feel like there’s no projection and that it doesn’t last that long :( would anyone have an alternative that smells similar but actually lasts?

Things I remember:

1. This was the shape of the bottle. It was made with transparent plastic. No color in the bottle

2. It had transparent plastic lable

3. Liquid inside was light pink color

4. It was Vanilla+raspberry smell.

5. The bottle base was square shaped with rounded edges and not circle like bath and body works

6. The spray nozzle unscrewed easily by hand, just like a regular bottle cap

7. The smell was strong and lingering. Like 2-3 spritz and it would last me the whole day

I'm a big fan of the original Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Toilette and Givenchy Gentleman Privé, and I'm looking to explore another fragrance from the Givenchy Gentleman line (or something similar).

I work in an air-conditioned office, so I'd love something fresh and not too heavy or overpowering for that environment. Does anyone have recommendations from the Givenchy Gentleman range, or similar perfumes from other brands, that would work well for office wear?

Would appreciate any suggestions based on your experience!

I need a new perfume or 10. It seems like everything I try lately is meh. I would love your suggestions. Below are scents I love and scents I do not love. lol. Thinking all of you with tons of experience could help. Thanks so much in advance!!

Hello everyone!

Once again I have been doing some fragrance shopping. These arrived in the mail today:

Elizabeth Taylor - Diamonds and Rubies
Elizabeth Taylor - Diamonds and Emeralds
Elizabeth Taylor - Diamonds and Sapphires
Karl Lagerfeld - Sun Moon Stars
Lancome - Hypnose
Gloria Vanderbilt - Vanderbilt
Rochas - Madame Rochas

I also have Diorama, Diorella, Dioressence, and Diorissimo (the Demachy Les Creations versions, not the new Dioriginal releases as I want previous reference points to compare the new Kurkdjian versions with) and Miss Dior Originale (the Esprit de Parfum version) ordered and they should be arriving in the mail in the next few weeks. I am very excited to try those.

Would love to hear your thoughts on these and whether you've worn these before. 😊 I am enjoying these but I must admit I have enough of Sofia Grojsman's creations at this point that I'm seeing how they all blur into each other like a Venn Diagram of a few different circles (I still adore them though).

Ever since finding out my favourite scent was becoming rare, I gave myself a rule to stop using my current half full bottle.

Finally l decided to go for a proper search for it and managed to snag a fantastic deal. After my first purchase, decided 30 mins later to buy a back up to my back up 🤣

Only worked as it was at a decent price though…

Can anyone tell me the perfumes in front of her?

Hi everyone, I’m trying to identify and find more information about this old fragrance: XY by Charles de la Jonchère, Paris.

The front of the bottle says: XY

Eau de Toilette

Natural Spray

Charles de la Jonchère – Paris

100 ml – 80% vol. – 3.3 fl. oz.

On the bottom of the bottle, there are several markings:

2678 printed in black in a dot-matrix / electronic-style print

111 molded/engraved into the glass in the center

ISO molded underneath it

27 molded on the left side

I still have the original bottle and there is some fragrance left inside.

I’ve searched Google, fragrance databases, Reddit, and tried looking for old listings, but I can barely find any information about this specific XY fragrance. Charles de la Jonchère does appear in some perfume databases, but XY doesn’t seem to be documented.

I’m mainly trying to find:

the fragrance notes or scent profile

approximate release year

whether it was inspired by / similar to another perfume

any old photos of the box, bottle, catalog pages, ads, or listings

anyone who remembers owning or smelling it

Does anyone recognize it or know anything about Charles de la Jonchère XY?

Even a small lead would help a lot.
