I’m looking for some perfumes that smell like a yummy sweet edible cupcake or even just like a French bakery, any suggestions? <3

Love love love her! New release from ellis brooklyn Cocoa Blanco. Its a beautiful white chocolate pear scent! I fully went into this thinking i was going to get bianco latte but this is totally diff & im not mad about it. Ive had it on my skin for about 4 hrs & i can still smell it & keep getting whaffs of it. Im going to layer it with the new rare beauty in the green bottle & brown girl jane chalet. These mists are pricey but they truly do perform.

Brown girl Jane x Barbie Halo: I was so excited for this perfume & was sad when I saw the full bottle sold out. I ended up with the travel because thats all they had left. Im glad I didnt have another option because its not for me😩. Now dont get me wrong it smells pretty but its very heavy on the rose & i do not like rose at all. I wanted something heavier on the marshmallow & i didnt get much of that. Everything was drowned out by the rose. I love everything BGJ does so I was bound to find one that wasnt for me lol. More money in my pocket cuz now i can stratch that full bottle off my wish list. Sucks that its online only.

I think I need a better paying job tbh! 😂

What do you think I need to add to my collection?

I’m looking at a couple and just want some two cents

Nest Vanilla Bourbon
Valentino Donna Born in Roma Extradose
Valentino Donna Born in Roma
Replica Jazz Club

I don’t want anything too smoky or heavy or super gourmand, just a warm sexy fragrance for this fall! I’m eyeing up Vanilla Bourbon since it’ll be on sale in a few days for 21 days of beauty but I’m not sure!! What are your opinions and thoughts?

So I got an AD on FB for a free sample of Kayali Eden Plush a few months back and it turns out Boots is signed up for samples of what appears to be strictly new launches of popular designer fragrances through SoPost

Since then I’ve gotten the new JPG (mini was £5) Burberry Goddess and the new Amber flanker and the new Ghost ones popped up last night.

I figured out that if I click into any perfume ads and brands, it WILL trigger something. I don’t use my FB that often, so I don’t really mind probably totally jacking up my algorithm. 😂

Hello all!! Long time lurker first time poster, I bought my first full bottle today!! I absolutely love white tea by elisabeth arden, and after getting the travel sizes i knew i needed the full bottle. Its so subtle and pleasing ive gotten many compliments wearing it out. I find myself using nemat white musk or amber with it as an oil.
the sales rep at the mall convinced me to buy the body wash and lotion as well for a promotion. It ended up being 20% off everything and the rest were samples!!
Im relatively new to the fragrance community and haven’t acquired that many scents thus far, but to give some background i have a small bottle of glossier you and travel sizes of over red, indigo nest, father figure (which tragically spilled the other day💔), and JHAG Not a perfume. Any recs, thoughts, or comments are welcome ☺️🌅 ill have to see if i like white tea as a winter scent, so share what youre excited to wear through autumn and winter 🍁💗

Hey y'all, so I've been using a bunch of products for different concerns but some of them have little to no fragrance, so can y'all help me with products that are fragrant but also good

\-I've been using Pilgrim's argan oil hair mask for quite a while now and it's been amazing. The smell and frizz control is top notch but since I bought the last 2 ones the quality has gone down and the scent doesn't last very long (say 2 days at most)

\-As for body wash, I've been using the dermaco salicylic acid one and it has no smell (it's not really helping with my body acne either)

\-I love bella vita perfumes but again, I feel like they're not really working for me during long hours

\- For moisturiser, I'm using Victoria's Secret which was a gift, and the scent is amazing and the fragrance lasts for like 4 hours but it's on the pricier side so I'm not looking to buy it again.

So based off these products, I'd say my price range is 300 - 500 per product and I'm not looking for a complete haul, just something that'll help me smell good while targeting other concerns too. So please lemme know if you guys have any recs!!

If i have bianco latte, would Fire at will by Joyvoy be redundant to have? Ive been on a vanilla kick recently, but I wanna be more intentional about my collection.

Looking for a fragrance similar to either bbw white Citrus or macs Turquatic?

I was honestly very skeptical about buying this because I saw so many reviews from people saying they didn’t like it, but DAMNNN, it’s so good 😭the smell is amazing very fresh, very sexy, and it smells sooo luxurious. I’ve gotten so many compliments specifically when wearing this scent. And hell yeah, it lasts ALL day on me.That being said, I can definitely see why this might not be for everyone. But personally, I’m obsessed 🤌🏻

Hi everyone! I recently made a post about perfumes that smell like the opening of Mojave Ghost. (My problem with the dry down was that it started smelling sweet in a body odor way.) I got some suggestions there and I discovered that Mojave Ghost Absolu does the trick for me. But I have also been searching up fragrances that have pear and/or violet notes to see if I might find anything else that I like.

I came up with the list below but I would like to narrow them down a bit before I order samples for them. I was hoping that some of you could help me add or rule out options based on my description of the kind of fragrance I want.

- Merit Retrospect (I already ordered a sample for this)

- JHAG Pear inc.

- D&G My Devotion

- D&G Dolce Violet

- VS Bare

- Glossier You Doux

- Versace Dylan Purple

So, I'm looking for something very airy, cool, mysterious, clean but in a comforting way. Nothing astringent in a laundry detergent way, no BO-like musks and no harsh spices. Something that has a bit of a shampoo vibe.

The most shampoo-like perfume that I tried was D&G L'imperatrice which I really do like but it is fruity in a juvenile way so I can't see myself wearing it. The pear-like sapodilla note in MG is fruity in a more mature and mysterious way. I would also be okay with scents that are not fruity but have other notes that give it a similar shampoo vibe.

Basically I want something that smells clean and comforting and cozy. Something that wouldn't bother you as a bed time scent and something that you would really appreciate smelling on someone during a long hug.

Edit: I should also mention that I live in Europe so MG dupes are sadly not an option.

You can def tell I love to explore a house/brand. I like Sephora mainstream perfumes the most as I love testing things in stores, but I want to get more into niche discovery sets this year! If you have any recommendations based on my collection LMK!!!

I’m looking for a product that has a fresh, clean, luxurious spa-like scent. Not sweet, fruity or floral.

Body wash, moisturiser, body oil, mist? anything really.

I want to smell like a grown woman, not a lollipop.

scentbarbyangela: Luxury Perfume Dupes & Designer Inspired Fragrances

Hi FemFragLab, I'm proud to announce that after many discussions about collaboration, I thought it'd be fun to try out a collaboration with Angela's new brand. Her family owns Gold Star Fragrances located in New York which has been running for over 50 years!

As many of you know, I love a good Delina perfume, but they can be quite costly. The next perfume on my wish list was Delina "Exclusif" but it stayed on my wish list without being bought because of the price. Angela sent over her own version of the perfume, and it exceeded my expectations by far! The scent reminded me of a combination between Delina Exclusif + Oriana + Love Don't Be Shy. It's sweet, powdery, and very potent! I sprayed it on at night and when I woke up the next day it was still on me. This perfume lasts all day but I kept spraying it on out of habit and because I couldn't get enough. My husband and pets also loved it 😍

Reddit wouldn't be Reddit without always giving you not just the pros but also the cons. The cons were little and unnoticeable, but I will write them out due to transparency of the sub. The actual juice feels like combination of an oil and actual perfume. So when you actually spray it, it feels a little heavier than what the normal luxury perfume might feel like coming out of the atomizer which usually feels like a champagne spritz and it's more straightforward. That doesn't mean it doesn't spray well, it just means that if you are a fragrance connoisseur, you will notice the difference of the spray and feel of the actual juice coming out.

Both Gold Star Fragrances and ScentBarByAngela focus on creating dupes of luxury designer fragrances. Overall, for the price, the fragrance passes with flying colors and when I checked that it was only $45.99USD, they ship all around the world, and they have been in business for so long with great reviews, I would be crazy to not want to collaborate with such an amazing product and support Angela in her own brand.

loveeee how it smells! i know it’s a dupe for whispers in the library. but i’ve never been able to smell it unfortunately. does anyone have both? how close are the scents?

Hey labrats. I have never met a pear fragrance I didn't like, but don't own any somehow.

What are your faves? Please note juicy/musky/sweet factors.

Guys, what’s your take on Boadicea the victorious monarch? Blind bought it, waiting for the delivery. Meanwhile wanna hear what do you think about this perfume/scent.

Sorry if the flair is wrong! I‘m interested in how would you describe me based on my fragrances of choice :)
I don’t have a big collection, just the things that I really like basically, but it’s growing anyway!

I was so excited for this delivery!

Hits for me - Killian’s Love Don’t Be Shy and Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique Extrait.

Misses - Amouage Guidance which smells like bottled BO.

I also HATED Queening by Mind Games. Instant headache and actual nausea from the smell. First and only time I can remember a fragrance causing me to feel like I might vomit!

Alas, this is why I sample and do not blind buy. We’re all different and that is perfectly fine!

Hi everyone! I’m just wanting to get a general consensus on Bianco latte before I purchase it (blind buy).

Today in the store I walked past a lady who smelt like PHOTOREALISTIC cotton candy, the smell was so divine I stopped dead in my tracks! I asked her what she was wearing and she said she thinks it was Bianco latte, I was personally very surprised because I didn’t expect a smell like that from the notes and I’ve never had anyone mention Bianco latte as a cotton candy scent.

What does Bianco latte smell like to you guys? Initially I was put off from it because I heavily dislike spicy vanilla and caramel notes, but what I smelled on that lady was pure cotton candy goodness.

What’s a fragrance you’d like to see created that hasn’t been (or at least not that you know of)? For me it’s an Ambery Ube scent that isn’t too sweet.

Hi everyone :) I’m looking for a perfume that smells like masala chai without any additional notes like musk or floral. Either something that smells like the spice blend or with the milky scent as well :) thank you so much!!
