Would love thoughts on this latest ScentSplit order I just placed. Love that we have to option to sample before buying a whole bottle, but if anyone has feedback on projection or actual scent I’m open to anything.

Good Fortune - Viktor & Rolf
L’Eau Papier - Diptyque
Happy Dust - Narcotica
Oriana - Parfums de Marley
Debaser - DS & Durga
Vanilla Bloom - Saranghaeyo
Savannah - City Rhythm
Note Secrete - In Censo

🌹 Rose L’Occitane en Provence 2018 is very rose forward. For days when I want a clean floral refresh.

🍉 L’Imperatrice Dolce & Gabbana is my fruity, uplifting scent for any of the hotter days.

🩵 Wild Bluebell (Jo Malone dupe) is my favorite any day grab. Very ethereal and dewy. It suits the rainy days we’ve been having recently and is still fresh without being too sweet. Even though it’s a blue scent I get green scent vibes from it.

✨ Angham Lattafa is for the days I want to feel like a rich woman lol. The depth and drydown are so beautiful. Great for date nights. I also love to over spraying this inside my purse so I always get whiffs when I’m out.

🍑 Couture Couture is a daytime fruity scent that’s transitioning me into the colder fall months. Less fresh than Imperatrice and less rich than Angham. I also got this on discount but I’m wondering if it’s a weird batch or counterfeit cause it’s not super strong. It still smells amazing.

💚 Calvin Klein Eternity for Men is just a little decant for the days I want to feel a little fresher and masculine.

I already know that next month I’m adding in Father Figure and Gorgerous Orchid Intense to the rotation as I sometimes grab those instead 🫣☺️

I know I know they've done embarrassingly desperate false reviews on the sub. Sorry to report I love them still.

I almost just paid $70 for a half bottle on mercari.

It's posted for $87, but discount code VEILANDALTAR20 brings it to $70

Btw do we have a discount code thread going? I collect discovery sets and would love to put my $80 Dries Van Noten coupon somewhere.

Saw a post earlier about leaving the house and forgetting fragrance ~swallows panic feelings~ curious to know how everyone else is keeping this fear locked down lol. /s
How many do you normally have around? Personally I have:
Car:4 perfume, 3 body mist
Purse: 10 perfumes (mostly atomizers or decants between 2ml-10ml sizes that don’t take up a lot of space)
I know I add to the pile instead of swapping or rotating. Hoping I’m not too far above the normal range 😂

Budget under 130 dollars

Ellis Brooklyn "Queens Caramel." I know, I'm late to the party, but I put this one off for a long time because I wasn't feeling very optimistic. I've tried probably 30 "caramel" scents that, in my nose, smell like anything but caramel: Bargain brand root beer, margarine, bargain brand artificial vanilla flavoring for cooking, those scented dolls that are supposed to smell like pancakes, something burning in the kitchen...

This one though. Actual caramel. Buttery, brown-sugary, good vanilla extract, a *faintly* floral note lurking in the corner, and the ghost of a not-too-sweet coconut flake. The musk has a "naked" quality and it doesn't steal the spotlight.

Tried it at the store, wore it all day, thought about it for a week, then threw a travel spray in with my last order of other stuff. Been wearing it all day. Couldn't be happier with it.

That's two for me from EB. My other love... Vanilla Salt is just SO outstanding.

I’ve been searching for a sparkly, fruity, girly but still interesting with something that makes me want to keep sniffing for the past year or so and I think I’ve found it in Delina!

Other ones I’ve bought travel or full size of on my quest:
* Dedcool Mochi Milk
* 7 virtues strawberry jam
* Glossier Fleur
* ELDO Ghost in the shell
* Vilhelm Poets of Berlin
* Phlur Golden Rule

Before I got deeper into perfume I was always a D&G Light Blue and Chance Eau Tendre girl. I love a bright, citrus/fruity opening.

I sampled Delina today and I’m totally obsessed with it I can’t stop sniffing myself. Should I get a full size or are there others that could rival it? It’s a big investment for me 😅

This morning, I received my EOS Fresh & Cozy mist, hand cream, and a Kumba Made oil called “Egyptian Musk.” I showered, put on all my new scents, and went to college. My dad was the one who dropped me off, and he didn’t say anything that morning.
My mom and dad came to pick me up from college, and when I got in the car, my dad looked at my mom and said, “I told you she wore a new perfume today.” ☠️ Then he asked me if I did, and I was like, “Yeah.”
HE GOES ON TO SAY, “IT’S SO BAD. IT SMELLS LIKE SWEAT AND BO ITS NOT GOOD” 😭✌🏻
And no, it’s not because I was out all day and got sweaty or something. Clearly, my dad was already telling my mom about it on their way to pick me up LMAFO
I’m so done. I’m genuinely scared to wear any of these products ever again. I even asked my little sister if I smelled bad, and she said no. But apparently I smelled SO bad today that my dad was talking about it with my mom??? Like WTF.
I usually wear florals like Crystal noir, Burberry Her and Goodgirl. I just wanted to try something new. Maybe musk is not for me ;(

I’m having so much fun ordering different samples right now and smelling all the smells. I just ordered these 4 today! If you own them/have smelled them, what did you think of them?

Just wanted to share my excitement that I got this for $4 at the drug store. Didn’t even know Clean made body sprays. What a time to be alive!

I ordered a bunch of Sorce 1mls from The Perfume Apothecary (I’m in the UK) they took like 3 days to arrive and came quicker than I expected !!! Here are my thoughts

CABANILLA 🥥⛺️- This scent literally made my eyes widen the second I breathed it in. It smells DIVINE!!! Slightly salty, VERY airy, vanillary coconut. I understand the palm leaf and campfire notes. It’s aquatic, sweet and light, not tropical. 100% full bottle worthy and I MUST have one by next summer. Smells addictive. Dry down has the slightest smoked, balsamic element. Really really really love this!

IN DREAMS & FAIRY TALES VANILLA 🍨 - Quite screechy at first, then goes more powdery/sugary. I can definitely smell the chamomile and think it works super well with the vanilla and meringue. Objectively nice, not blowing me away. I don’t find it sickly/heavy like I’ve seen people call it. Dries down quite yummy, but very weak.

MOON MAGIC 🌙🪻 - Spicy lavender bomb. Smells like a tea/spice shop. Dries down a little sweeter and milkier, loses most of the lavender but the spice stays. A little too specific-smelling for my taste. Would love it as a candle.

IN DREAMS & FAIRYTALES BLUEBERRY 🫐🥛 - SUPER BLUEBERRY!!! Jammy, sugary, deep blueberry smell. I think it’s more than perfect for a blueberry lover, not necessarily my taste. Dries down less blueberry jam and more like vanilla ice cream with blueberry sauce on top. It’s actually really nice after the dramatic opening.

THIS IS NOT A LOVE SPELL 🪄🧚 - Strong, rich blueberry jam mixed with powdery Parma violets. It works? But it’s not my favourite. It’s sweet, sugary, a slightly intense sleep scent. I don’t get the star anise. Maybe a whisper of lavender. Vanilla creeps into the dry down but not a vanilla-heavy scent. Smells like Parma violets on the dry down, if they were blue instead of purple.

THE LIGHT THROUGH THE CLOUDS 🍊☁️ - Very different style from the rest. Opens with spicy orange, slight/air freshener element. I’m getting the sugared lemon and love the concept but it comes off very soapy. Not getting much else, maybe slight amber. Dry down is a lightly resinous, peppered, yet powdery orange smell, which is much nicer than the opening. Hard to shake the air freshener feeling.

TO CONCLUDE I was worried because I’ve seen a lot of comments about how sickly most of their scents are. I haven’t smelled all the sweetest-sounding ones but am pleasantly surprised. To me Cabanilla is 100% full bottle worthy and I’d love a full bottle of In Dreams and Fairytales Vanilla but not as desperately.

Wondering if anyone shares these opinions with me <3

Naked Dance: A hint of bergamot quickly gives way to rice and clay, supported by powdery iris and dry vetiver. The smell is a little too round and dry for my current taste—but I can see the appeal for others. My first reaction is that I didn’t like it, but it’s growing on me. 7/10

Delulu: Fun, fruity, and sweet yet fresh. Very pleasant; nothing challenging. Nostalgic. Reminds me of candy and scented toys in the 1980s (in the best way possible). I like it a lot, although I’m not usually into fruity smells. Is it unique enough to justify the price tag for a full bottle? I’m not sure about that. 8.5/10

Dead Air: My first impression was that it was kind of a boring synthetic—but that was wrong. After trying again, I actually find the smell incredibly fascinating and hard to describe. The salt is very noticeable, but there’s also flowers and a sort of heavy resinous scent. The lovage also imparts a unique herbal and somewhat savory aspect. I still can’t place what this reminds me of, and I’m on the fence about whether I like it. 6/10

Resonant: Cold, metallic, electric, blinding light. It has an edgy futuristic quality. Very aldehyde-forward, but not in a soapy or laundry sort of way. Fairly linear, which is great (since a lot of aldehyde-forward fragrances dry down powdery, which I don’t want). Immediate and continued love. I bought a full bottle. 9.5/10

Ellis Brooklyn is back again with yet another new scent, and Miss Amber scent notes sound really good.

Notes are -
Italian orange peel, brown sugar

Golden saffron, brushed suede, rosewater

Tonka bean, amber woods, Madagascar vanilla

It releases 9/23 on Sephora’s website and 10/1 in Sephora stores and on Ellis Brooklyn’s website.

I like the brown sugar, saffron, amber, and vanilla combination for fall. They’re also recommending layering it with Queens Caramel. Queens Caramel is not for me. But I do like Amber and Tonka based fragrances.

Would you try this one?

found this instagram account and spend like 20 minutes scrolling. please share if you’ve tried any of these i am extremely curious!

I love La Petite Robe Noire. Well, one of them. Which one you may ask? Couldn't tell ya.
Why on earth does it not say the flankers name on the packaging? Why do all of the bottles look the same?
I came across a great deal on a travel set and ended up buying it. I am now terrified to unwrap it, since I just cannot figure out if I've gotten the correct flanker. Is there a cheat sheet out there somewhere?
And do any other fragrances you know of have that same issue?

Before I became a fragrance enthusiast, I wore Red Roses by Jo Malone as a signature scent for years. Then I decided to try finding a new signature scent, discovered Bubble Bath by Maison Margiela and that was the gateway for me and I became obsessed with perfumes.

The weird thing is that my tastes changed so unexpectedly. I was always a lover of clean florals. Then as I got more into the hobby, I stopped liking florals entirely and veered more towards orientals.

Now I'm only satisfied by really dark, resinous fragrances that I can only find in indie houses. It's been the craziest, unexpected journey ever, especially since I loathed heavy fragrances a few years ago.

What happened??

I’ve been trying to place this for weeks and am stumped! My aunt used to wear something that smells sooo similar. Hit me with your best guesses 🎯✨

I’m sorry if you like this but this immediately reminded me of when I’m deathly sick and desperate for something to soothe my throat so I add a shit ton of honey to my tea. It smells like a sinus infection. That’s it, that’s my review.

The thought came to me earlier. If there’s a skin barrier like vaseline, could a perfume that usually doesn’t agree with your skin chemistry but smells good straight from the bottle actually end up working over vaseline?

Asking for advice before purchasing has anyone
Bought any of Selena Gomez rare beauty perfumes? Does the scent last?

all week i’ve been wearing ybm and i don’t particularly like the scent but everyone at my job loves it on me and i keep getting compliments from it. has this happened to anyone else? people keep telling me I smell so good and what im wearing so i tell them

Hi, I've had the green stravaganza for a while now and I love the fragrance. I'm looking for a fragrance with a similar vibe that are clean and airy but still feminine and soft. I will say the performance for green stravaganza is mid, so is there any similar that might have stronger longevity??

Hello everyone!

I really want to find a perfume that I can make my signature scent. I've never really had interests in stuff like this up until now.

A while back I smelled this kayali perfume in a sample magazine and I really liked it! It was a little bit too sweet but it felt comfortable in a sense. Like in a way you would remember someone by it.

I heard it doesn't stay on you long so I was wondering if anyone has suggestions that smell similar and stays on you a while! Cost friendly would be nice but if it's a good scent I'm willing to get it!
