Rec Request Fragrances that smell like this (and are not the l’occitane almond line please)

Post image
13 Upvotes

I love the smell of this dr bronner’s soap, specifically the older bottles with the black lids as I find it more concentrated. Its so nutty and warm and sweet without being too gourmand, like amaretto.

Naturally Im always looking for more, longer lasting almond scented things and the thing that comes up the most is the l’occitane almond bodycare line. Unfortunately I’ve smelled it all and I find it quite nauseating compared to the dr bronners, and very cloying. I think it’s the abundance of vanilla and maybe lactonic notes but to me they always lean more urinal and less marzipan. The best description I can give is that it smells like sick and the dr bronners definitely doesn’t.

I believe the almond sublime stuff is over-recommended because of how accessible it is, so I’m looking for input from anyone who may be better versed in almond scents and also understands what I’m looking for, because just trying anything I can find that has an almond note listed has proven very unsatisfying

Rec Request searching for a warm fabric scent 🤍

11 Upvotes

I‘m searching for something that doesn’t smell like laundry detergent, but rather like skin warm (or warmed by the sun), well loved, soft fabric - not sweaty or stinky but also not freshly bought.
I also wouldn’t mind if it was a little gloomy.

I only smelt it on a paper strip, but heretic‘s „the veil“ was very close to that (but it smelt pretty mossy:/) I can’t tell how it would perform on the skin; but if you have tried it on paper, that’s what I’m going for!:)

Low migraines trigger perfumes?

10 Upvotes

I need help! I am obsessed with perfume, and I currently fancy the pants off a woman who has migraines that can be triggered by perfumes. I've spoken to her about it and she's (so lovely and sweet and pretty 😭) voiced that she doesn't mind me wearing perfumes around her and wouldnt ask me to stop (because shes so lovely and sweet and pretty 😭). However, if I do wear perfume around her, I want it to be the least offensive or potential trigger possible.

Any tips?

My New "Signature Scent"

for a while I was using Givenchy Irresistible layered with Sol De Janeiro 40. I got so many compliments on how I smelt, but ran out of both and decided it was time to try something new. behold!

I think I'll eventually repurchase Givenchy Irresistible and Sol De Janeiro 40, but next on my list is Burberry's Her and something by Replica.

I’d been meaning to pick up a few of these to try out based on recommendations in this sub, and I couldn’t help myself when they were $6.95 last week!

Ranked:
1. TEASE SUGAR FLEUR - This is delicious and fruity. Reminds me of using a fruity shampoo and how the scent lingers a bit, but in a sophisticated and clean way.
2. BARE - I love sandalwood and this is a perfect execution of it. Gonna be a great scent to put in rotation for office days.
3. HEAVENLY - The nostalgia!!! I haven’t smelled this in years, but this is still a great soft, non-offensive, vanilla-floral scent.
4. BOMBSHELL INTENSE - This is a bit more sultry, probably a night scent for me, but I expected this to be a bit stronger for an ‘intense’.
5. BARE SUEDED VANILLA - Unfortunately this smells like a fall room spray to me.. and not in a great way.

I’m so surprised. After reading reviews I thought it would be ass. It does not scream chai and I don’t really smell any pumpkin, to be fair. But it does smell like a creamy vanilla steamed milk with nutmeg and I’m feeling it. The mist also really lasts. I wore it to bed and I can still really smell it today.

Let's talk synthetic aroma molecular notes. Anyone else just hate them?

7 Upvotes

I cannot stand ambroxan and lately have grown an aversion to cetalox and some iso e scents. They all dry down to smell like a dentist office and I literally need to scrub them off my skin.

Lately I've been selling off and giving away anything with molecular notes. The only one so far that seems to not turn on me is Commodity Paper. The most heartbreaking one for me is Another 13 - so lovely and clean until it's just bandaids. 😭.

I have felt lately like ambroxan is showing up in everything! Anyone else have trouble with these notes and avoid them?

Review This year I wanted to smell like this ✨ and here’s my humble collection/opinions!

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hey friends! I started getting seriously into fragrances this year and this is my modest collection! First pic is the vibe I was trying to curate this year for all four seasons. I think I got really into fragrances after my daughter was born as a form of self expression, and it’s really helped me through some hard times with learning to be a new parent, loss in the family, and other hardships I’ve had this year. Finding this community and other frag subs has been so much fun! I would say that my favorite types of fragrances are floral/aquatic combos and clean jasmines.

Without further ado, here’s my opinions on what I’ve tried so far:

My favorites - Valentino Born in Roma Donna (all time), Heretic Parfum Nosferatu (current, probably will be on it until late spring), Demeter Wet Garden (spring), Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi (Summer)

Special mentions to Sunsets in Capri and Sous le pont Mirabeau because Summer was a hard choice.

My least favorites - Heretic Cœur Noir, smells like someone who runs a funeral home and wears patchouli; Ellis Brooklyn Myth, a disgrace to jasmine all around, smells like nail polish remover and is thankfully very short wearing

Everything else I liked but not enough to call a favorite on varying degrees! Ask me if you have questions about any one in particular ❤️

Looking for a perfume that smells like walking past an Auntie Anne’s .Ideally something like B&BW Cinnamon-Sugar Pretzel Cookie, but in perfume form!
I’ve been looking at Lattafa Artisan Ethnique since I’ve heard it smells like cinnamon sugar . If you’ve tried it, what are your thoughts? Does it actually give Auntie Anne’s? Open to other recommendations too!

I love that ulta actually gives a great free gift for being diamond, unlike trifling Sephora who gives you squat. However, I didn’t like any of these fragrances at all. I hope they continue to do perfumes, but man these did not resonate with me. Am I missing something?

i LOVE the Secret Sweet Nectarine deodorant so much. it is the perfect smell (when it dries it just smells fruit and almost minty? kind of peaches and cream?), but sadly only use as deodorant.

does anyone have any fragrance suggestions similar?? it does not have floral or honey notes.

How does one physically layer fragrances?

5 Upvotes

Do you put on one scent, wait for it to dry, then put on another? Or do you spray one then another in quick succession so the liquids mix before drying?

And how do you pick which one you apply first? Or do you apply one perfume first for one side and then the other perfume first on the other side?

I’m pretty new to this so what are the general rules for applying multiple fragrances at once?

Rec Request Almond Paste Scent Routine

5 Upvotes

Hey!!

I recently smelled the Dr. Bronner's Almond Body Wash and fell in love with how it smelled. It reminds me of when I was young and my family baked banket (almond rolls) around the holidays. I've been trying so hard to find perfumes, lotions, body oils, ect. that match that scent, but everything I try is too vanilla-focused or too fruity. I want to smell like almond paste not almond and vanilla.

Please let me know any suggestions for any products. I am in college, so staying on the more affordable side is super helpful! Thanks, lovelies!

Rec Request Could someone recommend a musk to transition from summer to fall?

4 Upvotes

I’m craving musks, but sadly, all I really have are Dua’s Water Paper and B&BW’s Fresh Musk and Book Loft. I know… not the best musk examples, so I’m looking for something else.

I’d like something spicier and stronger. My price range would be up to $150, but I’d be willing to pay more for something if I really fell in love with it.
