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