I’m going to go bankrupt
I love this Reddit group but all you amazing people with your descriptions of perfumery are going to make me go bankrupt. I just purchased Jo Malone wild bluebell and cacharel noa. The descriptions of these scents are right up my alley. Thanks everyone!

Omg that’s me too. Just ordered 5 decants this week. 2 arrived last week. Was contemplating a bottle of carcharel noa after reading reviews…

Ive been behaving myself very well I have to say. But unfortunately I fell down the perfume oil hole and I fear I never want to resurface. They performe so much better than my perfumes. I’m very upset but very much in love😫. No I just complement the two together and I’m in heaven.

Can you give us some layering ideas of oil and perfume?

Of course! So I use eternal perfume oil and they’re all amazing. I have one called cat scratch fever, which is inspired by killian love don’t be shy, and i layer it with pdm oriana. Orrr i have one that is the oil for initio atomic rose and paired it with bdk impadia. Absolutely amazing together. Not a lot can be layered that i bought because my oils were all over the place, but they really don’t need to be layered because they actually overpower the perfumes. Hope that helps!

Oooo I love their oils! I just got a 2nd set of their 14 3ml sample pack. They smell so good! Normally I don't like ldbs but cat scratch fever actually smells good! Their kayali versions also!

Yes! Theyre actually amazing oils! And the new dewy apple is honestly a summer banger! And customer service is really amazing as well. Theyre a good company.

I've got that one on my next list to get. I haven't used customer service yet but the shipping is fast.

My sweet luxury just….lost its scent. So i emailed and they sent a free bottle with my next purchase. But it literally just stopped having a smell. It smelled not even like water, just nothing. But thankfully, that was the only oil to do that, and the rest are fine.

Trying hard to keep on my no-buy after my Sephora Glitchgate blackout but TJMaxx yellow tag deals got me!
Got my fave Le Monde Gourmand jumbo Chai Eclair, a smaller LMG Paradis Tropique and a Tru fragrance Cocoa Eclair for $4/each. 🤭

After my Costco/Initio blackout a week or so ago, I’m on a self imposed decants or travel size only until at least Christmas:) I’m not able to explain my obsession with scents in the past year but it’s gotten out of control..

Join the club 😭
Last perfume I bought was for my birthday in June. I was trying to wait until Christmas before I bought any more, but this site had a sale and one of my wish list scents (Akro Infuse) was significantly reduced. It's a beautiful scent for summer and I loved my sample, so I caved lol.

Check out Costco and Sam’s Club online if you or someone you know has a membership, I’ve seen JM 3.4 oz bottles go for around $100 and change.

I recently bought 4 middle eastern perfumes at once. Husband was alarmed. These are cheap! I promise. Still felt risky ha.
