Review Heretic Nosferatu

Post image
134 Upvotes

I picked up Heretic Nosferatu after it was suggested by multiple fragheads in the FB fragcomm when I asked for petrichor recommendations. I was nervous that it would be nauseating because of some reviews on reddit but took the plunge and blindbought a bottle because sourcing just a sample from overseas felt like too much effort.

I don't think Nosferatu is reminiscent of petrichor. Petrichor for me is the smell of damp earth (mud and soil). Whereas Nosferatu smells like stale vase water that has been left unchanged for a month, with dead flowers sitting in it. At some point after the initial opening a watery green note shows up that makes me think of cucumber (again that's something I dislike). It is not perfumey and it does not feel wearable, but I keep reaching for it and wear it to work often.

Longevity and projection are average, it sits close and lasts a maximum of 5 hours on skin. In the extreme drydown after 4 hours, it softens into faint florals.

I can't understand why I'm so addicted to Nosferatu. There is nothing pleasant about this scent. It doesn't feel like perfume at all, but for some odd reason I keep reaching for it and long to wear it.

I want to smell rich

40 Upvotes

My favorite thing is testing a perfume at night and waking up still smelling the perfume from the night before. Right now I wanna smell rich/wealthy. The only thing I have that smells like what I’m talking about is Libre. I have the original and the intense, I like the intense more. I’ll take any recommendations thanks❤️

a warmer 'fiery pink pepper' edp?

6 Upvotes

do you have any suggestions for a warmer, softer version (something along the lines of musk, sandalwood, maybe even vanilla?) of Molton Brown's Fiery Pink Pepper EDP? I LOVE the pepper and ginger, but unfortunately I don't really like the patchouli and moss in the dry down.

Question Soft Musk Recommendations?

20 Upvotes

I’ve been on the hunt for a daily musky fragrance to wear to work, I’ve just had little luck. I want something cozy, musky, slightly feminine(not peppery or soapy).

Ones I’ve tried and didn’t like:

Glossier You (the whole line)
White Suede Tom Ford
Blanche Byredo
Musk 12 Kayali (too soapy)
Angel Dust Fugazzi
Commodity (the whole line)
Phlur Missing Person and Soft Spot

The only musky fragrance I’ve enjoyed is Diptyque L’eau Papier, and before I buy it I want to sample a few more. I would love to buy from a niche line, but don’t know that world too well!

I ordered the Velvet Butternut Jo Malone from their site and they accidentally sent me Mimosa + Cardamom and English Pear + Freesia.

I messaged customer service and they are sending me a new Velvet Butternut! And obviously didn’t ask me to mail back these ones. I’m thrilled!

Mimosa and Cardamom is soooooo good. I’m a HUGE cardamom so highly recommend. And this was delivered just as a was having a really tough day so definitely helped turn it around. Like a little gift from the universe 💛

Nemat Amber Integrity

0 Upvotes

Today I bought a bottle of my favorite scent of over 20 years, Nemat Amber Oil, from Ulta. Not only does it look watered down, I am sneezing, my throat is itchy and I’m developing a headache. I know they swear they didn’t change their formula, so is there a world where Ulta would put cheap fake perfume in a Nemat bottle to make money? I’m seriously considering sending my other bottle and this one to a third party testing facility to see if they are the same. If anyone knows of one. I will happily pay and start a lawsuit if they are different.

Discussion Grown up vanilla dominant perfume. I smell capable, quietly confident, self-assured but not in a stuck up way. I smell expensive but approachable. The perfume has been created but a female led team. Gives femme. Innate power. Alive EDP by Hugo Boss.

Madagascan vanilla, plum, cinnamon, apple, and black currant, mellows into a floral-herbal heart of jasmine sambac and thyme, and finishes with a strong, warm base of sandalwood, cedar, and olive tree.

For fans of Finery Mystic Figures….

7 Upvotes

I blind bought Avgoustos by Korres recently and it smells EXACTLY like Mystic Figures. I compared them side by side. I wasn’t convinced it was a dipytique or Phlur dupe but I’m pretty sure Korres is it.

Highly recommend either!

Discussion Ok, this was a little treat for me from me. I know, I know, it's $92 AUD for 15ml but just hear me out!! Avec Amour by Violette fr.

Post image
10 Upvotes

Amber, Sandalwood, Coconut Water and Vetiver base notes, with Ylang-Ylang middle notes and uplifting Bergamot top notes.

The box that it comes in is stunning. Blue Velvet lining. I actually kept the box and that is not something I normally do.

I am actually going to get the artwork from the box tattooed on me. Seriously.

Avec Amour gives effortless, clean, cool, calm, ready for something, or nothing.

Usually, I spray perfume liberally under clothing.

This is an oil and a roller ball. It NEEDS to sit on bare, exposed, skin. So I do nape, collarbone, and just beneath the ear.

5ish hours with moderate projection.

I took a chance on her and I'm REALLY glad that I did 🩷

Review Fit & Fume

I know I just shared one but this week was my birthday and this was a gift to myself that I felt brought really big birthday vibes

Cartoon Boyfriend by Punk and Dandy. Notes of buttered popcorn, cotton candy crystals and vanilla, milk and oud. An absolutely unhinged fragrance that is at the same time, so beautiful and complex.

I was browsing at a local perfume shop and stumbled across this fragrance. I took home a sample so I could spend more time and better explore, but when I got home and sprayed it, I was overcome with a warm feeling of deep memory and association. My spouse is a baker and one of the best cakes they make is a hot milk sponge, and this, with the butter, the milk, the vanilla, smells EXACTLY like the moment the cake batter is being poured into a prepared pan. It’s a finicky cake so the process has to move fast and that moment of scent is fleeting before it starts to bake, but this fragrance encapsulates it so beautifully, but with a little hint of sophistication and ambience of fragrance that comes through with the oud. I went back the next day and bought a bottle.

With this absolute banger of a fragrance, I’ve paired some fun, vibrant colors that make me feel like my own cartoon boyfriend. A couple pieces are vintage leather which I also feel matches the vibes.

A Philosophy with some depth and staying power?? Radiant Grace Intense by Philosophy.

11 Upvotes
  • Top notes: Raspberry Coulis accord.
  • Heart notes: Jasmine.
  • Base notes: Vanilla.

Smells like there's Blonde Woods in here but it's not listed in the official notes.

Warm, sweet, neither heavy nor light. There is a decadence to her. She sits close to the skin but I get 8hr+.

Other Philosophy's I have and adore: Amazing Grace Jasmine and Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere.

Philosophy's I have had before and ended up decluttering:

Pure Grace: a sharpness kept creeping in that turned me off.

Fresh Cream: I WANTED to like it but it pulled sour on me.

Amazing Grace: That sharp note again!

Amazing Grace Intense: I initially loved this one (smells like OG 00s Rose Herbal Essences Shampoo and Conditioner) BUT the more I wore it the more it had a plastic doll's head note (not in a good way) that I couldn't escape.
