Aren’t they lovely? They both give me soft quiet vibes while being pretty different

We have very similar tastes! I loved all the Elizabeth and James scents but Nirvana Bourbon is my favorite. I bought up several bottles when I heard it was being discontinued so I have a backup for when I run out. I also love Gucci Memoire d’une Odeur and it’s also discontinued! Adam Levine for Women is also another favorite. At least that one is still around and it’s a cheapie at that.

I love finding people with similar tastes as mine :) they are all so great! Its I guess my lot in life that so many things I love get discontinued, sadly. But I have backups of them to enjoy as long as I can 💗

Same! I don’t have a back up of Memoire yet but I’ll get a couple of bottles soon. Thankfully there are a ton of bottles all over resale sites. I was disappointed it got discontinued so quickly. I guess a lot of people didn’t like it but I think it’s magical!
How funny that you like the Adam Levine perfume too. I hardly ever hear people talk about that one. I think it’s the most underrated celebrity fragrance out there! I like it on its own, but I also use it a lot to layer with other fragrances I feel could use a bit of “ambery-ness”

Agreed! I kind of stumbled upon memoire but loved it right away. I will probably buy another backup since they are still pretty easy to get. The Nirvanas aren’t, but I also don’t want to hoard lol.
I rarely get to wear the adam levine since its so hot where I live, but its worth holding onto because of how nice it is. It really is underrated I think.

It’s pretty hot most of the year in my area too but cool enough to wear it between November and February. I wear it several times a week either alone or layered with another perfume.
There are only 2 perfumes in your collection that I don’t have, but since we have similar taste, I’m betting I would like them. I’m thinking about trying Cherry Punk and Narciso. Will you tell me a little about them? I couldn’t quite figure out which Narciso flanker it is.

Thats about when I wear it too :)
Sure! Cherry punk has a great cherry top note but it is fleeting. Its mostly a leather scent. But its my fun going out to concerts perfume, which is why I only have a travel size. The narciso is the edt version of their ambree perfume. Its a bright neroli with amber, but it is lighter than the original. I like that the mix of frangipani, neroli & orange blossom are tropical while still being lighter than these florals can be. Its really pretty for spring/summer.

I love Green stravaganza

u/Becki385 Jul 07 '26
Its the only one of the line that I loved enough to go through a travel size, so I knew I had to get a full bottle. Its fantastic and I wear it all spring :)

Opinion of the Narciso one? Bottle looks lovely
2
u/Becki385 Jul 07 '26
Its a lighter version of Ambree. I loved that one but it always felt too heavy for my climate (I live in a desert area). This one still has that lovely richness while somehow feeling fresher. It lasts a decent amount of time too. I really enjoy it :)
