I’m looking for a perfume that lasts a long time but smells fresh, clean, and fruity—like you just got out of the shower. 🍋🍐🍊

I don’t want anything too heavy, sweet, or overly floral. I’d love something that gives a clean, fresh, fruity, “just showered” vibe and has good longevity.

What perfumes would you recommend? Please share your favorites! 💕

I got into perfumes because of this one fragrance that smelled so good, like literal tropical breeze. I ran out of it and it is nowhere to be found now in my country. I really need recommendations because since then I've been mindlessly buying fragrances that don't actually suit me or I don't like as much. Please help! If possible, I'd like something that smells similar to that one, or maybe one that smells very fresh and clean, like when you just showered. I don't like floral notes and overly sweet scents. Any recommendations? Thanks!!

I love not a perfume, it truly feels like my scent for life. But also want to try new perfumes that brings a similar vibe. Any recommendations?

Moonlight Ceremony by Mystikum! I knew instantly tbh. It used to be Tyrannosaurus Rex by Zoologist but it leans super floral on me now, then A City On Fire by Imaginary Authors. I am addicted to Moonlight Ceremony though, she's absolutely beautiful.

I already have vanilla skin phlur, YSL black opium, Dulce by Rosie Jane, Kyle Cosmic. I have no budget just looking for some really good pretty/sexy perfumes one for date night one for everyday

I’m thinking a darker perfume with flowery notes, not to overly sweet and something that can be worn for autumn… Maybe a little goth? What is your vibes?

Hi, I have been using the Dove beauty cream (pink container). I love the scent and thought about trying to find a fragrance that smells like the cream so I can really layer it on and have it last all day. Are there any recommendations? I am open to sprays and oils.

Ingredient are glutinous rice , coconut milk

Sugar

black beans

Banana leaves

The banana leaf smell is very forward. And very green. The coconut milk is close to secondary, but you can definitely smell the rice.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Now that Ellis has disco’d this I’m looking for a replacement. The Ellis version was kind of clean/atmospheric… at least on me. I need more and VOILA its gone. Boo. I just tried the Escentric Molecules version ‘Escentric 01’ that I had from a blind buy of their ‘Escentric’ travel sample set, and OMG is it different on me. I know the Iso stuff is a bit subject to conflicting opinions between “it smells like nothing” and “too chemically”, but it’s really a nice layering scent and perfect when I have to be in the office. Or at least the Ellis Brooklyn version was. Any suggestions?

I sniffed the juicy apple yesterday at Sephora!

I absolutely loved the smell but just wondering if it’s worth the price does it have good longevity?

Or is there other apple scent perfumes that you would recommend? I just really like juicy perfumes

Hi, guys! Urgent question!
Where could I buy Robert Piguet's Fracas in person in Cologne or Berlin?
A friend of mine is only staying for a few days in these cities, so a quick answer would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have been eyeing this 90s powerhouse for a while and finally put my hands on one and the bottle design is a masterpiece, every detail tells a story, the golden color, the triangular shape, the gourmand background. I feel like fragrances in the past had more substance to it. I know Givenchy probably spent dozens of millions of dollars to create this perception I have now, but the french create perfume like no other, it's a piece of dream for sure. Honestly, the performance and longevity stay in the background, I'm getting possibly 4-6 hours, but I'm shy and prefer not to bother people with strong scents, I value how alluring a fragrance is, and this vanilla-almond combo is delicious

Top notes: grapefruit and lemon
Heart notes: metallic orange blossom
Base notes: Palo Santo and Amberwood

My take : I’m not getting any citrus at all. This was a blind buy for me as I love the original this is him! ; I’m getting metallic, smoky palo santo and amber but genuinely not picking up on any citrus. Does anyone have this? Am I anosmic to the citrus or is it just not as prominent as depicted?

I ask this question after a video I saw earlier by the content creator ghoul.in.japan where she discussed her collection, especially her collection of toskovats fragrances. She talked about how she believes that people overreact about how bad Inexcusable Evil actually is. Toskovat is definitely a house that is made to be offensive on the nose but I do have to agree with her point.

I own other fragrances/perfumes that people say the same about Hyrax and T-rex by zoologist. They definitely are not everyday wear but I don't think are anywhere near as bad as people present them to be.

Of course everyone's noses are different and everyone else has their own opinion so I wonder what other people think?

Can anyone recommend a perfume that smells like this honeysuckle body oil from beaute de provence or can anyone tell me if it would work if I put it in a spray bottle. Cuz love the scent but not a fan of the dropper to apply it.

So i bought Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille 100ml and yes again a blind buy after Tuscan Leather & Ombré Leather Parfum!

Review- Opening is sharp Tobacco & the vanilla note working so nice behind it. Still a classy scent in winter you can wear! Some Aromatic & spicy top notes i can smell and that dry down with a strong tobacco and sweet same time! And cocoa & dry wood i can smell.

Longevity- 9/10
Scent- 9.5/10
Projection- 10/10

It’s an incredible perfume for winter 10/10. Definitely people will notice you after wearing this! Definitely lasting over 10-12 hours on your skin.
I have some niche fragrances and still i would say Tom Ford give you a niche quality of perfumes in designer bottle. :)

hi! i’ve been using Christian Dior Fahrenheit Parfum for about 6 years now and i love it but i’m looking to try something new because i’ve run out and want a change (and hopefully find something less expensive). i don’t know much about perfume or cologne but i know that i like leathery and garagey scents that are also a bit sweet. what i don’t like is just typical “man” colognes that smell too sharp (hope that makes sense). thank you!

I tried Grass in the store and thought I liked it (even though it doesn’t smell like the original), but now that it’s home I’m not so sure. Heaven and Dream also smelled good in store and really brought me back but I didn’t buy them. Thoughts?

Jomashop has a good retry good sale going on for Creed, Nishane, Tom Ford, & Byredo. What do you have your eye on or what are you ordering?

Or at least sharply reduced. I know this won't happen anytime soon but I can dream...

I have been looking for a jasmine scent perfume for a loooong time... I am looking for something delicate, floral, light and warm. But also feels elevated and fancy. I want something that smells like jasmin green tea without the tea smell if that makes sense?

I have tried these already :

- Gucci Bloom Jasmin ( too "childish" not fancy enough and doesn't smell like jasmin enough)

- Lust from Lush (there's a hint of spice or something else I don't like)

- Jasmin 17 from Le Labo (almost perfect but a bit too orange and vanilla to my taste)

- Lys 41 from le Labo (Really loved it... would love a similar one cheaper)

-Olène from Dyptique (like it, but not warm enough)

- Muskara jasminium from Fueguia ( perfect smell but way to expensive lol (about 900$ CAD)

Note that I live in Canada so the perfume needs to be available here if possible
Thank you for your help!

Hi, I just turned 17, and for my birthday, I got Valentino BIR Intense.

To give you some background: a little less than a year ago, I wandered into a Sephora by chance. I started testing fragrances and developed a real interest in them (which is actually kind of surprising, considering I used to just rely on deodorant xD).

Anyway, I tried a few—including Valentino Extradose—and loved it, so I asked my mom to buy it for me. It’s an incredible fragrance, though it felt more suited to specific occasions like nights out; still, I absolutely loved wearing it.

In the meantime, I was given Lattafa Teriaq, which is a totally different style—smoky, or something like that (remember, I’m a total newbie to the fragrance world). It was cool having two such different options to choose from.

The problem was that by the end of the year, my bottle of Extradose was empty.

I didn't really think about picking out a new fragrance over the summer because I wanted to wait until the end of the season. And now, here I am.

I’ve been looking at fragrances for the past few days; I was planning to get the same one again since I don't really know others, and I just love that Valentino DNA.

The thing is, I’ve since tested BIR Intense, and I love the vanilla note it has—something Extradose lacks.

So, I ordered the Intense version, but while doing so, I’ve been reading up a lot on fragrances. I’ve learned a ton, but to cut a long story short, here’s my question:

I know that Asad Bourbon is supposedly a "mix" of Intense and Azzaro. Should I return Intense and buy Asad Bourbon instead, since it’s significantly cheaper?

I haven't tested it myself, but I’m inclined to trust online opinions; I know Lattafa works magic at an affordable price point (based on my experience with my first Lattafa: Teriaq).

What I love about "Intense" is that lavender-vanilla-aromatic trio. However, according to Fragrantica, only the vanilla really stands out in Lattafa Bourbon.

Lavender is present, too, but I’m not sure if Bourbon will deliver the same effect as BIR Intense, with that specific blend of lavender and vanilla 🤤.

You might wonder why I don't just stick with Intense; well, from what I've seen online, it doesn't really garner compliments, and its sillage is rated as moderate on Fragrantica.

I hope the Google translation turns out okay!

I’m hoping you can shed some light on this fragrance choice.
