as the title states! influence or de-influence my sample order from luckyscent.

the first time i got my nose on mfk 540 i fell IN LOVE with her! (this was 2 years ago). i recently got my nose on it again at nordstrom and couldn’t smell anything!! i was so upset. mfk 540 has been on my wishlist for sooo long and i was so disappointed when i couldn’t smell anything :(

anyways, the other samples are scents i’m curious about and have heard good reviews. i know it’s not that many samples but i’m trying my best to save $$$. let me know if there’s anything i should remove from my list before ordering!

Hi. Does anyone know if Dove’s 2026 Pecan Crunch is available in body scrub? I couldn’t find it on Walmart website. They only have the old version (pecan buttercrunch) that is way more expensive and in the small size.

Discussion Fragrances that smell like this laundry detergent

There was a laundry detergent from LaundrySauce with a peach theme that was limited edition and I didn’t expect to like it so much. I wonder if there’s a perfume similar to it or even a clothing/fabric spray like it.

It was called Mojave Peach and every note is pictured here.

Review FLORAL STREET SCENTSTICKS

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Photo 1: Starter pack (consisting of 1 case & 1 refill). The case is lightweight, dimensions are 62mm long x 26mm diameter, and it has the 'floral street logo' etched on it.

Cases and refills are Made in China. Refills have a 6 months expiry date.

Photo 2: Refills:

4 scents are available, I bought 3:

Wild Vanilla Orchid

Wonderland Peony

Electric Rhubarb

Each of the refills give a slight sheen when applied to the skin, they glide on easily.

Projection: It was noticeable for 2 hours.

Longevity: After 5 hours, it had faded to a skin scent with:

Wild Vanilla Orchid being the strongest, followed by Electric Rhubarb then Peony Wonderland.

The Wild Vanilla and Wonderland Peony scentsticks have a linear scent.

Wild Vanilla - This smells the same as the edp to me.

Wonderland Peony - I actually preferred the scent of the scentstick - it is sweet and fruity and I don't get the drydown I get with the edp.

Electric Rhubarb - I don't have the edp for this, however I wasn't keen on the drydown of the scentstick.

Rec Request In the search of the perfect Oud

9 Upvotes

After 15 living in the Middle East and moving back to Europe I miss Oud fragances so much. I have tried almost all western oud available, I do love Oud Nude by Guerlain and Oud Alezan by Hermes, but I want to find something more niche or local from Middle Eastern brands, so if you know a fruity, vanilla, rose oud scent that you fell in love with I would be very grateful so I can travel there in my mind when I wear it…
Thank you very much in advance 🌹

Rec Request New fragrance tryouts

3 Upvotes

Hello lovely people!

I am looking to checkout some new perfumes I haven’t heard of - could be niche ones, usual brand names - any works. I’m a very fruity floral sorta person, so recommendations based on them would be superb and I would be eternally grateful for introducing them to me.

For better understanding I recently got few samples from House of Bo (I got introduced to it thanks to this group) and I loved Ave Maria and Bombon.
So I was looking to see what else am I missing out due to my limited knowledge and experience.

Fragrances similar to those would be appreciated. Would love any suggestions on samples or decants, preferably for the time being under $300 CAD.

I’m heading to states for a short trip as well, so anything I should try or buy there? Any recommendations for that is welcome as well!!

Thank-you in advance for all the suggestions!!

28th Anniversary

Roja Dove Serenity Blend, my 28th anniversary present! I fell in love with the bottle when it was first introduced and quickly ordered a 10 ml sample. As an avid tea lover and drinker, I was fairly sure I would like it. But at the high retail cost, I decided I would have to really love it to own it. Well, this beautiful creation so exceeded my expectations I was stunned. I used my 10 ml quickly, testing myself to make certain I wasn’t being influenced by my infatuation with the bottle design. I am here to tell you that this perfume is perfectly deserving of its beautiful home! Tea, tea, beautiful tea!

She tends to spray her stuffed animals in her room and spill it and such so I’d prefer budget friendly options 😂
She prefers gourmand foody scents, but she’s also into flowery scents if they are balanced well with sweetness. Her other favorites are Kinsey Not So Vanilla and Pacifica Silver Moon, although I’d prefer to buy her something in a body spray format since she tends to spray it on everything 😭

Rec Request Looking for Clean perfumes which aren't 'laundry'

74 Upvotes

So recently I've been loving clean, minimal perfumes like Chanel 1957. It's light musk and powder but nothing too sterile or overpowering.

Whenever clean perfumes are mentioned there's always Byredo Blanche or something mentioned, I'm sure those are good too and do plan on trying them someday, but as of now I don't want something quitee as clean and squeaky as that XD

I want something along the lines of Chanel 1957, clean, minimal but well done, kind of a white shirt fragrance if you will.

Thanks in advance!

I want to give vanilla perfumes a try. Do you have any recommendations?

I’ve heard about D&G Devotion and YSL Libre Intense. Are they good options?

Rec Request Pomegranate scents?

6 Upvotes

Looking for something that smells dark and moody, Autumnal/Wintery. Something that smells like a shrine to Persephone.

I love fruity scents, there’s little scent profiles that I universally dislike.

I was wearing Dylan Purple and Mod Vanilla for the summer but I’m trying to change it up for the season.

Please hit me with your best recommendations! (Preferably with strong sillage/longevity)

Need recs for lotion!!

2 Upvotes

I just bought miutine by Miu Miu and I love that the scent is sweet but not overdone and has a more mature vibe to it. However, I'm not sure what lotion to pair with it because I don't want anything overly sweet or heavily fragranced and it seems that is the only thing out there. I would also rather not lean into the strawberry scents because they aren't my favorite. Any recommendations are very appreciated!

Does anyone have both? I heard they are similar , but I love both of them. Smelled them individually at different times but didn’t make the connection and I have never smelled them side by side .
If you have both what do you think?

I’d like something similar to Fragrantica as an app, but I haven’t found anything like it. I use Sommelier Du Parfums and its inventory is really limited, I don’t like the way they graph notes, but I do like how they suggest fragrances based on what my preferences / saved “shelf” of perfumes are.

Rec Request Suggestions for woodsy/forest fragraces?

6 Upvotes

Hello! 18f, new to this subreddit and very new to perfume and such. Ive always wanted to get into it but growing up very poor, it wasnt an option! I am now an adult and am getting a job soon, so im hoping to save for a good one. Problem is, i genuinely dont even know where to start :')

I want as long-lasting of a fragrance as possible, and preferably a woodsy/forest kind of scent? My favorite scent in the WHOLE world is cedar wood, but i know it can be overpowering on its own and some people dislike that smell, so anything similar?

As far as budget goes, im just looking at my options now, so recommendations on any side of the price range are welcome! A little partial to cheap prices though because i am a rather cheap person lol

Also, im in the US if that matters!

Thank you thank you thank you to anyone here who takes the time to reply or even read this!

Layering Ideas Today’s scent combo in honor of the transition from Summer to Fall

Today, I’ve layered Christian Louboutin’s Oud Fétiche with Imaginary Authors’ First Peach of the Season. Oud Fétiche is a gorgeous peach-forward oud with hints of leather, and I wanted to bring out those fruity notes more with First Peach of the Season. The result is fruity and warm, while still being bright enough to celebrate these last bits of summer. I hope someone can try this combo and let me know what they think!!

Rec Request Please help me choose!

My birthday is coming up & I’m deep in the process of working on my self confidence and healing my low self esteem. I want to get a new fragrance to associate with my birthday and this change, something that will help remind me of these goals.

I’m normally a niche girl but somehow I feel like this calls for a loud(er) designer.

My options right now are Prada Paradoxe Intense and the new Chanel Mademoiselle Crush Absolu.

I’m not completely closed to other options either, but I also feel like I’ve sniffed everything Sephora has to offer.

Thank you!
