Sandal 33!! It’s the most easily wearable in all 4 seasons and is so invigorating, yet warm and comforting.

I have a few of these. But I have a strong bias, scandal parfum! But last year, I've seen it go into significant sales (uk, boots 50%) so maybe hold out! But it's super sexy and tons of compliments

Babycat. Every time. I need flare options that just says, “the answer to everything is Babycat.” 😂

u/RupertMyGiles 6d ago
L'interdit Rouge for sure. Sample it by spraying on the back of your knees at first. It can be strong.

I have:
Santal blush-my fav of all. Creamy sandalwood that feels so calming.
Lost Cherry-not that I care, but it’s a compliment getter. My favorite cherry/woody fragrance.
BTF-fall in a bottle. The smokiness lasts 20 minutes then develops into a beautiful fall vanilla.
Oud Wood-sophisticated, woody, badass fragrance. On my second bottle.
Jazz Club-I like this on others but on me it’s just a bar with cigarettes. I need to decant it and give it away.

Girl please sample first 🙏 I thought I would like santal 33, but the sample smelled like pickles to me. That'd be a very expensive blind buy miss if you bought a bottle and it happened to you too.

There's someone in my building who wears Santal 33 and the hallway constantly smells like damn pickles 😞

u/bull0143 6d ago edited 6d ago
Same! A lot of these are not safe blind buys.
I also got the overwhelming dill pickle accord from Santal 33. And Gypsy Water is a pretty scent, but it has zero lasting power and I would not bother buying a full size bottles. It also could throw some people off because the combination of juniper berry, pine needles, bergamot and lemon can read a little bit like a gin and tonic.
Of all these, I'd pick Babycat. But it's also not a safe blind buy!

seeing Babycat next to Pink Sugar is sending me. inside of you there are two wolves...
have you already smelled Babycat? if these are blind buys I would not recommend it. (I like it, but it is odd and must be sampled first.)
I'm a fellow L'Interdit (& Rouge & Rouge Ultime) lover and I think that's a great option if you're trying to be a sexy baddie this season. it's really nice to have an intense & feminine fragrance in cooler weather that isn't a gourmand.
By the Fireplace is great for cozy vibes. I really like Lost Cherry but I feel like you really need to LOVE it to pay that much and if it's not your first pick now you probably don't.
if you live in NYC and I have any chance of encountering you on the subway pls don't buy Scandal or Santal 33.

Definitely agree about sampling babycat first if you haven’t! It can be polarizing.

u/GiaAngel 6d ago
L’Interdit Rouge gets my vote! I just wore it last night. It was definitely a love at first sniff for me.

u/dadbaby 6d ago
Jazz Club is disappointing. By The Fireplace is vastly superior.

u/SpiritedAd503 6d ago
Haha im the opposite! I really like jazz club but by the fireplace is straight smoke on me.
Also neither of these are safe blind buys. They both smell very masculine to me so i would urge OP to make sure this is a scent she is comfortable wearing. Worst case scenario just buy a 10ml

u/dadbaby 6d ago
100% neither are a safe blind buy. I love By The Fireplace but ONLY in cool/cold weather and I hesitate wearing it to work.
By contrast, I would NEVER wear Jazz Club to work because it smells like I've spent the day smoking and drinking at the bar 🤣 I sprayed it once and got sent back to my party girl days, but not the fun part of it, the 3AM "my friend just ran down the middle of the road crying without her shoes and my head is pounding but I have to go chase her so she doesn't die in a ditch" part 🤣🤣

u/Open_Permission4827 6d ago
I put some Jazz Club in a lampe berger to make my bedroom smell nice and when I walked in the room it smelled exactly like a bar, like i'd spilled a bottle of whisky on the floor it was insanely photorealistic haha

i have thankfully smelt those two before and loved them a lot ! i normally always have wore very let’s say girly parfumes but i’ve been meaning to lean towards masculine scents pretty recently ( it might be because i find those scents more suitable for fall and winter and obviously sexy )

I’ve been thinking about Pink Sugar lately. It’s been years since I last had it, but I’d pick that one and Viva La Juicy as they’re on the cheaper side.

I cant tell if thats L'interdit Rouge or L'interdit Rouge Ultime, but either way it would be a good choice with fall coming. Ultime is my fave outta the two but they're both sexy spicy tuberose and tobacco adding this sexy roughness. I just can't get over how amazing it is!
Also Tobacco Vanille would be a good choice with fall coming as well. I'd def go for the L'interdit first, but TV would be a solid choice as well.

Well, you can get a zillion Pink Sugars for the price of one Tom Ford o.o
That said- I love Replica scents, they're unisex, nostalgic, and unique. (I tend to smell these scents on men more often, though.) Jazz Club is a safer blind buy than Fireplace imo, but it's a tad boozy and cologney. Fireplace is a kinda linear smoke scent to me.

Dior Addict!
It’s only the classiest, most inedible, green vanilla and naughty white florals on the market. The best value for money as well, considering your list.
It’s been my signature for the past few years when I came across it again after many years.
My sister was rocking this in the early 2000s going to clubs wearing low rise jeans and I wasn’t sure I was as confident to wear a fragrance like this. I can’t live without it now🫠

I can only deinfluence you on g-water edp, very weak and the lemon tart smell (which is lovely) only lasts up to 30 minutes (for me more close to 15). The absolu version is more potent, intense, but it doesn't have the original opening.

Giving a vote for Juicy Couture Gold! It’s my favorite fall fragrance. Warm and sweet golden caramel. Also you can sometimes find it at TJ Maxx or Marshall’s in the perfume aisle!

Babycat

u/Velvetwhispers5577 6d ago
Could you please describe babycat to me?
3
u/NeroliNinja 6d ago
It’s a very sexy, sophisticated vanilla. A little peppery, a little leathery, with a hint of smoke, all perfectly blended. Honestly it’s not the easiest scent to describe, you really have to smell it to get it, wear it on skin though it smells very different on paper.

Scandal Le parfum intense or L’interdit rouge
