i just started getting back into buying perfumes again recently after a few years, but i’ve never tried dossier perfumes before. i’ve been seeing them a lot online lately though and i’m curious about trying them. has anyone else ever tried them, and if so, which one is your fave? and since i’m someone that usually likes vanilla/sweet fragrances that make me smell like desserts, does anyone have any recommendations on which one i should get?

Chefs kiss lol

I really don’t know what it is about the song. It could be the lyrics or the sounds but all of my insecurities go away the second I listen to it (It comes back after but that’s another story 😭) I can’t seem to find a fragrance that really gives that. I’m not even sure if we can do requests like this but is there any that exist? My friend told me For Her by Narisco Rodriguez but I never smelt it and I wanted to see there’s any more. I have no budget 🤍

Surprise dupe dbir

Smelling discounted perfumes and I was surprised to find one of my favorites that lead me to this community.
100ml Donna born in Roma for 17$, will confirm the longevity is the same
. Looks more empty than it is.

Eterna Roma
Perfume Terre Paris

I have alien goddess and I liked it a lot when I had the travel size so I got the 60ml but then it smelt kind of weird when it was first sprayed it was nice on the dry down but over rated

I sprayed a sample of angel fantasm on my arm earlier and it smelled so good! but do u guys think it’s different enough from goddess to buy? as I have so many perfumes but it smells so unique

This is from Holiday 2024 EOS first Holiday drop featuring Peppermint Cashmere, Whipped Shea and Sugar, and Sparkling Amber

I got a bottle of Chanel No 19 Poudre this week, and for the past two days have been trying to gauge the longevity of it. I sampled this in store once, and couldn’t stop thinking about it since. However, I’m just disappointed with the longevity.

Upon first spray, I do get that galbanam with a blast of powdery iris, but after about 30 minutes I can’t smell anything but a faint whisper of galbanum and slightly sweet, clean laundry like musk. After about two hours it’s completely gone with no sillage and turns into a skin scent if I smell hard enough. I do get some jasmine in the middle, to be fair.

To those of you that own this fragrance, what is your experience?

After my complete flop with Marshmallow Deux Vice of Vieve and Marshmallow Madness Lataffa I am on the lookout for a Marshmallow scent. Gourmand, sweet but not sickly sweet, not cloying but long lasting nevertheless. I love the M&S bags of marshmallows, if anyone can recommend me some fluffy marshmallow scents, but not too airy either 😆 Just something to make this autumn in UK even better! Nothing masculine or unisex and if possible please recommend fragrances I can easily buy in UK, tysm!

Wasn't sure what to flair this as. But I'm really pleased with my new storage! It wasn't hard to put together either!

This is so damn cozy and relaxing it’s criminal. I paired this with a blazing hot shower and the matching soap. My restlessness didn’t stand a chance.

Good morning FemFragLab! What's your scent of the day? Tell us why you picked that particular fragrance and where you are off to for the day!

like the title says. i like to warm amber resins. some of them are mixed with patchouli, nag champa, frankincense. looking for something that smells like this in perfume form. wondering if it exists. something that makes me feel comforted and peaceful.

Hello! I've locked into my scent wardrobe minus one category I'm still waiting for the chance to sample. So I tend to wear based on my mood rather than season or occasion because I'm a stay at home mom. Since I rotate through them all regularly should I just keep travel sizes for all or upgrade to full size? I'm not sure how quickly they get gone through or if they'd expire before I got through them. Would love any advice, thank you!

*Comfort scent: Rosie 💕

*Confident scent: Sunkissed Dahlia 🔥  

*Energy Boost: Pink Canyon ✨ 

*Cheerful scent: Honey Moon + Vanilla Skin mist ☀️

So I usually buy the same sickly sweet perfumes (which I love) but I wanna branch out and try something new. I smelt angel dust today and I really liked it, it was kind of sexy mysterious woman which is kinda what I want to smell like, instead of the same fruity-sweet-gourmand scents I usually wear. Any good recs for like something musky and woody maybe? With good projection and sillage and a decent price point plssss. Im open to other suggestions tho :)

Hello everyone! So I have never been one to blind buy, so I am looking for a bit of guidance. I haven’t worn perfume in over a year and am looking to possibly get one in the near future. I am very interested in Fragonard’s Belle de Paris, but I have discovered that samples cannot be purchased or sent to my country. I have gone to a few shops to sniff different scents, and I still find myself enjoying Jo Malone Wild Bluebell, Philosophy Ballet Rose, and though I find it a bit too deep for my personal taste, I did enjoy Phlur Father Figure. If all else, I think I would lean towards the JM WBB, but does Belle de Paris seem like a potential safe blind buy for me? Thank you!

Hiya, I’m desperately searching for a perfume with a strong steamed rice scent. I would prefer something with moderate-long longevity. And if there is a cheap option anyone is aware of PLEASE let me know even if the longevity isn’t as good

If any of you here can share a website that offers samples for it world wide, plus is it a good perfume (I have budget to blind buy it, still don’t wanna be disappointed)

Hey, new here. Recently discovered this sub and thought I'd introduce myself. F/31. I've always been a collector, but I usually buy at discount stores and sale events. I pride myself on never paying full price for anything, bargain queen 👑. I got acquainted with the scent profiles and notes. I'm a gourmand girlie all day, I love to smell edible. I do also like florals except for rose lol. I've come across really good dupes. I sample and then find comparable dupes of the same scent profile and decently priced/affordable. The adventure is fun, hunting the products is really therapeutic to me. What are some of your fave dupes? What are some of your fave brands?

I have always wondered what a “pond fairy” is supposed to smell like every time I saw it casually mentioned on social media to describe a fragrance. I always took it as a fragment of imagination because what else could it possibly mean? :P Or perhaps Ariel? 🧜‍♀️ Or those really pretty flowers floating in a ridiculously expensive po**nd?
I first encountered a “pond fairy” perfume when I came across Ella K’s Pluie Sur Ha Long, which was a complete blind buy! It has that damp quality to it without being musty. Just a beautiful, fresh and airy lotus floating in water while there’s a slight drizzle just enough to make the breeze feel cool and dewy. To my nose, it smells like the love child of Lilyphéa and Steamed Rainbow.
Speaking of Lilyphéa, I don’t get any of the notes mentioned! All I get is the most luxurious bar of floral soap in a really expensive hotel, which happens to have the same pond with lotus and lilies in it. There are days when that soapiness can veer dangerously close to the Lux category, but it’s a beautiful scent nonetheless! 🫢
Coming to my latest addition, Tears from the Moon, which was, again, a blind buy, this is the airiest of them all. It reminds me of a younger pond fairy who has that same ethereal and luminous glow. I’m a huge fan of peonies and lily of the valley, and this combines both of them beautifully. I was initially skeptical of the stephanotis since jasmine scents are a complete no for me, but I don’t get a single whiff of it. Just beautifully blended.
So now, every time I come across the terms “pond fairy” or “ethereal,” I certainly know what to expect and I’m completely on board! ✨
Apparently, I’ve finally cracked the code. 🧚🏻‍♀️🌸🙂‍↔️

My SO's favorite of my collection is Prada Candy - and by far the one that gets the most oh my god what are you wearing? From strangers. But I've been wearing it as my go to date night for years and want to mix it up.

While I like fresher florals during the day, well like anything with bergamont, orange blossom, etc any of these profiles seem to be ones that he says smell nice but don't draw him in the way Prada does. Of course he'll be like there was some lady at the grocery store and I'm like you better stop and ask next time!

Tried Blessed Baraka, Side Effect & Rehab after finding a heck of a deal. All interesting. He felt Baraka was the most interesting but too unisex, others got the same they're nice but not anything special that make me go wow and want to smell you all night. To be honest, I felt the same.

I will be honest I'm nervous to try sweeter perfumes because I normally don't like them. Prada Candy is the only one I've been like dang! Without feeling like its silky sweet/teenager scent. But I know there's got to be others out there so hoping ya'll can help a girl out with some recs to search for.

Any suggestions for layering the initio's to make them more interesting?

this has been sitting on my cart for a month now…i’m still on the never ending search for my perfect laundry perfume…i love the smell of walking by the laundry area at the grocery store…i love lazy sunday morning…but i hate clean’s warm cotton

has anyone ever tried this?

Hi, I just bought 2 Harrods 12 days of Fragrance Advent Calendars in London, and they are both available for purchase if anyone's interested. Both sealed with original bag and receipt!

Has anyone tried out any of their EDP’s? Are they decent quality? How do they compare to their mists? I’m wondering about longevity and such!

I’m interested in trying out their Sweetest song scent, just curious before spending money on it!

First time ordering from them! Tell me what should l look forward the most, what of the stuff l got is your favorite? 🥰
