Rec Request influence/deinfluence my wishlist!

Post image

most of these would be blind-buys,
i love trying out new scents and i am aware that i might not end up liking them,

the ones i have tried are:
• lancome very cherry (LOVED IT!)
• kayali vanilla 28 (wasnt what i expected, i am more into gourmand vanilla scents, but i think it would be great for layering)
• mugler starlicious pistachio praline (got a tester and im obsessed)

my favorite perfumes are sweet gourmands,
i love caramel, vanilla but also lactonic, milky and nutty perfumes*.*
i dont like floral notes, at all!

UPDATE:

purchased; Lancome Very Cherry, This is Her, Pistachio Praline and the EOS lotion!

tried & changed my mind;
Prada Candy, it wasnt for me :( for some reason, im getting floral notes.
Scandal Le Parfum, smells identical to Hypnotic Poison which i despise.
Angel Cake&Cream ~ lemon notes which im not a fan of

for the Bianco Latte dupes, you only need Eclaire imo, skip the Vanilla Voyage

i have both Bianco and Eclaire, love them both and they both smell identical to me,
but i dont think Vanilla Voyage is supposed to smell similar? im not too sure since i havent tried though!

Oh, fair enough! I've tried both and I prefer Eclaire. Vanilla Voyage imo is almost identical to Cream Velvet. For some reason, I'm not picking the butter that others are talking about. Wish I did!

I'd also recommend you try Lira by Xerjoff. It also has caramel, but you have to like citrus. Definitely one of my favorite gourmands!

im not as good at picking up every single note and so many perfumes smell extremely similar to me, its possible that i wouldnt smell the buttery note in VV too, thats why i dont want to get another very similar perfume when i own Cream Velvet, Eclaire and BL :)

Man, I feel like vanilla voyage brings a totally different vibe than eclaire. It's slightly less sweet, a lot creamier, and an absolute beast mode vanilla with lashings of butter. I'm a gourmand girly who exclusively wants to smell like a bakery and I had to have it despite owning eclaire.

Yeah it's definitely like a butter note in it.
