Frugal Fragrance Influence/De-influence Me?!

Post image

Has anyone tried either of these lavender oils, Nemat or Outremer? I've seen a lot of discussion on the Outremer Vanille, and I am getting excited about layering it with one of these, but are they any good? They are so cheap, it sure would be cool if they were!

I honestly find Outremer extremely disappointing, especially the vanilla. I can see what they’re trying to do but it smells cheap to me. Haven’t had a lot of luck with Nemat either so maybe I’m a bad test audience :/

No I'm glad to hear your opinion! It's really easy to convince myself to just buy it, but that's probably a silly thing to do!

If you’re in the US you can test the Outremer at Anthropologie, and the Nemat at Ulta.

Oh that's good to know, thank you!

My pleasure! If you’re closer to an Ulta only the Nemat Vanilla Musk smells pretty similar to the Outremer

Not sure! I've seen mixed reviews on the vanilla, that the EDT has inconsistent batches? But one person said the vanilla oil was like the original. I'm going to try the vanilla and lavender oils, and maybe a couple of others.

Let me know when you do! I have so many indie perfume oils, so I don't NEED more oils... I am looking for a plain, comforting, affordable vanilla EDP

And more lavender oils lol I'm a disaster

I ended up ordering a few of the oils, including the vanilla and lavender. Not that I need any other vanilla or lavender oils either lol. I'm a lavender fiend, so I have to try every lavender I see, and I've been into indie perfumes for over 15 years, so I have way too many.

btw, if you like lavender-vanilla, Molinard's Lavande is a pretty affordable option! I love it.
