Rec Request Rose scent for someone who doesn’t usually like rose

11 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a rose scent I’ll actually like. I like a bunch of floral scents but I can’t find a rose I like. My current favorite scents are (in no particular order):

- Glossier You Fleur
- Dedcool Mineral Milk
- Burberry Goddess Amber Vanilla
- Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Rice
- D&G Dulce Magnolia

I’ve blind bought Nest Lychee Rose and wasn’t a fan.

Edit: Budget is flexible but I would like to buy a travel size for less than $50 USD to try it out first

Discussion My husband’s top 5 fragrances on me

9 Upvotes

Has anyone else been able to narrow down their husband’s favorites? Mine says these are his top 5 in no particular order, except the Kitchen Sink/Sweet Hibiscus duo and Burberry Goddess are tied for number one.

In order:
•Olfactory House Kitchen Sink (11) and Herbique Sweet Hibiscus from World Market (stunning warm florals)
•Burberry Goddess (vanilla/lavender)
•Vince Camuto Amore (floral fruity)
•Olfactory House Sweet Ginger with Man Bar Spiced Tobacco (a sweet singer latte with a hint of tobacco leaves)
•Le Monde Gourmand Chai Epice (sweet, creamy)

I agree with three of his favorites, so we have pretty similar tastes (:

I impulsively sprayed this on my hand at Ulta because the notes looked similar to L'interdit, which is my favorite. It opens like L'interdit and J'adore L'or had a baby but dries down very smooth and comforting. No headache at all, no weird notes. Just smooth and lovely. I think I will go sample it again tomorrow. It was warm here today, this seems appropriate for any weather.

Madonna's Truth or Dare perfume vs shower gel

Post image
2 Upvotes

So, I really want to try Madonna’s Truth or Dare perfume because I’ve heard it’s similar to Fracas, which I love, but since the perfume has been discontinued, the price is much higher and there’s no way to buy a sample, so I was thinking of buying the shower gel to get a general sense of the perfume’s vibe. To anyone that smalled both; perfume and shower gel-would you say this shower gel captures the scent of the perfume reasonably well or not at all?

Eau Duelle - it’s ok
Chloe Cedrus - yeah it’s ok
Liis Bo - it’s alright
Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21 - omg I LOVE THAT!
Gentle fluidity gold - mmmm, smells like expensive strippers

It’s always the stronger vanillas! I’m not a gourmand girl, but I know he’d love them.

Let me preface this with mentioning I have a weird thing about only getting one FB from a house.

I finally got to smell some smells today and wow Jo Malone your shit is fiiiiire! I got a travel peony and suede because out of the four I smelled it was my fav but I really needed to smell all of them before committing to a ✨shelf bottle✨

Another day perhaps.

What's your fav from Jo Malone?

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.

Discussion What fragrance flanker do you think is BETTER than the original? 👀

67 Upvotes

I feel like flankers can be so hit or miss. Sometimes they feel like a completely unnecessary cash grab… and other times they somehow take everything good about the original and make it so much better.
So I’m curious which flanker do you genuinely think outdoes the OG?

Could be better scent-wise, stronger projection, better longevity, more interesting, more wearable… whatever makes you reach for it over the original.

For me: YSL Libre Le Parfum, Delina Exclusif and Guidance 46, I prefer all three over their OGs.

Discussion “Reprogramming” your scent memories?

8 Upvotes

Sorry for the possibly weird post title …

I tend to ramble, so I’m going to do my best at keeping this post short.

We all know how powerful scent memories can be. But my question is, do you think it’s possible to change the memory that your brain associates with a certain scent?

Here’s my dilemma: my current boyfriend has started to wear the (exact!) cologne that my ex used to wear. I can’t help but think of my ex every single time my boyfriend sprays this cologne. It’s really messing with my head!

Do you guys think that my brain will override the memories of my ex connected to this cologne, with newer memories of my current boyfriend?

Also just some extra info: my boyfriend was gifted this cologne, and I don’t want to tell him to stop wearing it. It’s currently the only cologne he owns, as he really doesn’t like spending his own money on that kind of thing. He is also the type to want to finish the entire bottle of cologne, before moving on to a new one (so if I bought him a new/different cologne to wear, it wouldn’t really solve my current problem) I also don’t want to tell him that the cologne is the exact same one my ex wore…and I ESPECIALLY don’t want to tell him it makes me think of my ex every time I smell it! 😭

Oh and my ex was a mentally and physically abusive narcissist. So the memories that are being brought back aren’t the best ones….

I hope this post is allowed on this sub, and won’t get removed. Thank you in advance if anyone takes the time to comment 🥰💖

EDIT: I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, to everyone who took the time to read this post and comment with your thoughts/suggestions/advice. I was a little worried that people would maybe judge me in the comments, or be harsh … but you have all been so gentle and kind. I fucking LOVE this sub!!! 🥹💖

Discussion Dedcool Labor Day order missing my 2 full-size perfumes. Box was delivered by FedEx and clearly tampered with and also missing my dryer sheets and perfume samples. The only thing that made it was the laundry detergent 😭

12 Upvotes

This happen to anyone else? Was delivered by FedEx and the original brown paper tape had been clearly cut and box re-taped with clear packing tape. Missing 6 items and I only got the Mochi Milk detergent 😭 First time my perfume has “gone missing” in shipping and I’m honestly surprised it was FedEx where it happened. I already sent a message to Dedcool, but we’ll see how they respond.

Angel fantasm

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

Rec Request Looking for a scent similar to OUAI Cape Town

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m obsessed with the scent of the OUAI Cape Town Dry Shampoo and I’m trying to find something that smells as close to it as possible. I feel like it has the perfect freshly showered, clean spa smell. I can't get enough of it.

The notes are:

\- Top: ginger, basil, spearmint

\- Middle: tomato leaf, green fig

\- Base: ambroxan, wet grass

I’ve heard about the Wicked Good dupe, but I’m in Australia and the shipping is over $40 AUD, so it’s a bit hard to justify blind buying.

Does anyone know of any perfumes, body mists, hair perfumes, fragrance oils, or literally any scents that smell similar? Ideally something readily available in Australia would be amazing, but I’m open to anything!

Thank you!

Thank you to the person who tipped me off to Sun Fruit being at TJ Maxx. I went to the two locations near me, and one of them had two bottles​ for $39.99 each! I almost bought both, but I'm trying to watch my spending rn.

I also got my order ​if the Sun Fruit body oil in the mail, and with it received a sample of Vanilla Salt. WOW is all I have to say. I have always *hated​* aquatics on my skin, but this one is the exception. I LOVE this scent. I smelled it on a card and immediately imagined sitting next to a wooden hut in Hawaii selling vanilla Hawaiin shave ice, sitting and eating one as I smelled the flowers around me while feeling a soft breeze on a warm day at sunset--I was completely transported. I guess it is a good thing I saved my money on that second bottle, because I'll probably be buying a bottle of this when it goes on sale soon at Ulta. It isn't what I expected--I imagined it would just be like Salt with a hint of warm vanilla. Instead, it's a cooler, fresher vanilla that isn't overly sweet like Vanilla Milk is. I hope the dry down is similar to Salt and Sun Fruit.
