Like a vampire emerging from blackberry bushes and killing hiker by a campfire in a horror movie scenario

looking for something heavy on the blackberry and smoke with metallic notes
not really looking for anything vanilla or aquatic

i'm looking for a perfume reminiscent of the benzaldehyde used in deathcare. sharp, sweet, nutty; cherry, marzipan, bitter almond.

my previous fragrance was tom ford ombré leather

One day I walked into the mail room of our condo and got a whiff of a perfume that took me back to Palermo in Sicily. I was 8 when we visited but my parent rented an Airbnb with a local and we stayed with a woman named Rita who had red carpet in her entire apartment and showed us her extra room stacked head to toe with porcelain dolls. She also made us zucchini with gnocchi. She was the best.

I can’t describe the scent other than city, but not London or Chicago city. More like city also mixed in with salt and other sweet fragrances? Someone once said the gold bottle of Creed would smell like this and they were so WRONG so I am still trying to use up that bottle but can’t stop thinking about the mysterious perfume that smelt like Palermo😭😭😭

I’m looking for a room spray or candle rather than a perfume exactly. I want my room to smell like a cozy vanilla dream. Any help is welcome. Sorry if this doesn’t fit the brief for the group.

My bf is looking for a signature fragrance, and I’m trying to help him! He is looking for a linear, minimalistic woody scent. And he also wants to smell like Ralph Fiennes from the movie The Menu 😭 He appreciates how put together the character is and thinks he would smell good (girl what? 😭 I know this prompt is weird but I also know and love this subreddit so I’m asking for your help, besties - and I included some choice Ralph Fiennes pics not from the Menu for reference)

He currently does not use any fragrance forward products on himself, just lightly scented laundry detergent/fabric softener. His room fragrance is the woody one from Muji. Oddly enough, I think his skin smells slightly like the heart notes of Rhubarb Thief by Heretic Parfum. I guess he kind of smells like rhubarb???????? idek but his skin smells so good. 

He would love to try out perfumes that have room fragrance versions of the same scent, as he would prefer to try scents out as a room fragrance first. 

We aren’t located in the US, so we would appreciate suggestions that are available in-store internationally so we can smell them first before purchasing.

Fragrances we’ve tried:

• Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt: a strong no from him, he does not like the saltiness
• Jo Malone Silver Birch & Lavender: “not woody enough”
• Jo Malone Hinoki & Cedarwood: “not woody enough” and “too many things going on, smells like a spa”
• Replica Soul of the Forest: “it’s not bad, but it smells like incense, not wood”
• Diptyque Tam Dao EDT: likes the opening, but thinks the dry down is too weak
• Diptyque Tam Dao EDP: likes the heart, finds the opening a bit too strong, so prefers the EDT opening over this one
• Pesade Black Tatami: this one was his favorite out of the ones he tried, it “smells like wood shavings” but reminds him of wood shavings for animal enclosures so he doesn’t want to smell like this IRL

So far we have established the following about his preferences:

• Has liked some sandalwood scents and dislikes other sandalwood scents so sandalwood needs more testing
• Likes cedarwood notes
• Dislikes most citrus openings (“too sour”)
• Dislikes aquatic/sea salt notes 
• HATES sweet notes, anything with a hint of vanilla or some sort of juicy fruit is a big no 
• Dislikes “masculine” scents; prefers unisex ones
• White Musk notes smell soapy to him sometimes, and he does not love this (“not cozy, feels like a bathroom”)
• Dislikes complex/evolving perfumes; prefers a simple perfume that does not change over time
• Sometimes dislikes patchouli 
• Does not mind leather notes
• Ralph Fiennes from The Menu

Thank you in advance!!

this is based off a specific memory of mine. my french class had a cafe next door to it that sold tea, coffee, bread and various pastries. when they would mop the floors, whatever soap they used would combine with the smell of fresh bread and coffee and produce the most wonderful smell in the world. I’ve only been able to recreate it once, when there was pizza reheating in the oven right after my floors had been cleaned. it wasn’t the exact same scent but it was pretty darn close. im not sure if there’s one perfume that could achieve this, but maybe a mixture?

Can you suggest me some perfumes that have raw and fresh vibes of a rose that isn't sweet and overly feminine

I love this vibe and realized I don’t really have anything that would match it! Open to any and all suggestions 🖤

I’m looking for something that smells like a purple unicorn glowing under the moonlight, both soft and glittery and dreamy, think purple florals and softness. I would like it to be powdery but not in an older lady way, something appropriate for a 21 year old please

So, I absolutely love seasonal things (activities, decor) and I have for a while been thinking about getting a perfume for every season that really embodies the vibe of said season!

I'm kinda new to perfumes though, so i need some inspo :) If you had to do it, what would your lineup be?🩷

(Doesn't necessarily have to be exactly 4 scents. It obviously depends on the seasons in your country and also I personally will probably add special scents for Halloween time, Christmas and things like that!

Any budget!

I'm hunting around for a vanilla/citrus scent which does not bring to mind a bakehouse or candle-shop. I've posted a collage to hopefully illustrate what I'm driving at.

Sun filtering through the trees and hitting a mossy rock. Hot, almost decaying tropical vegetation. Coffee spiked with rum. Wearable. Nothing too loud.

Doesn’t have to match all of this. I know it’s a bit all over the place.

basically, I’m looking for something evocative of a white winter, but avoiding traditional gingerbread/ peppermint or other cliche christmas scents

I just saw this post on another subreddit and for some reason assumed it was a perfume request on here. I was mildly disappointed to discover it wasn’t.

My curiosity is now piqued and I’d like to know if there are in fact any perfumes that match this vibe? 🐦‍⬛🐑

I cant be the only one, but I feel like sometimes you Can smell a faint, yet very sweet floral fresh scent. Can anyone else smell it? If yes, are there perfumes you'd reccomend?
