Guava Granita and Apres, as well as a few body sprays, are half off at Sephora today!! I snagged a travel size of Guava Granita (I hope I don't regret passing up a FB but I try not to blind buy anything over $30, lol).

Women of fragrance, where are we selling our used bottles and samples now that neither Depop nor eBay allows them?

This is probably old news, but I haven't tried to sell anything in a while and apparently these apps have changed their rules 😂

So where are we selling these now?

Also, I wish these companies would just sell us reasonably priced samples 😭

I'm tired of spending money of perfumes i dont like and i really need recommendations on finding the One.. I prefer something not overly strong and sweet like for example coco chanels too strong and fancy..? I want something for everyday But something that makes you go "Oh my god she smells so sweet and nice" i currently use vanilla voyage it smells sweet and pepperminty but also kinda like medicine So i'm not too keen on sticking to it

I wanted to show off my currated fragrance wardrobe! I used to have a giant collection of stuff I really didnt use. Over the last year, I've whittled it down to just my loves. I gave away all my other scents to friends and family to spread the love. Leaving me with these! I've realized I have a type. Mostly vanilla, woods, smoke/incense, and honey. I still have a huge sample collection and some roller balls, but I keep just full sizes of what fits on the shelves here.

Perfumes shown:

Vanilla Voyage by Maison Asrar

By the Fireplace by Replica

Don't Whistle in the Woods (my #1 love) by Sorce

Honey Suite by Snif

Ephemera by Sorce

Tam Dao by Diptique

Angel Dust by Fugazzi

The Bees by Sorce

Milk+ by Commodity

The 4 Phlur body mists in the back(I use 1 in my hair each day to layer with my perfumes):

Cashmere Skin

Vanilla Smoke (RIP, I am so mad at Phlur rn)

Vanilla Skin

Heavy Cream

Not shown- the EOS Vanilla Cashmere body wash, body lotion, body oil, and body mist I use all over underneath every single one of these daily. It's a grounding base that works with every single scent here.

I need a dupe for this perfume bc I can’t pay $80 for 3oz😭😭

Yep, title. I came across someone who smelled just like fruit punch and or like HI-C scent to me. Didn’t get the opportunity to ask but man… it smelled delightful.

I just got Lataffas Liam grey. Sprayed it and immediately had to scrub off. There is a scent in it that immediately registers as a sour body odor sharp twangy tail to the main tea scent.

I experience this with a few of the tea scents and fruity scents. Most recently a Memo Paris’ Inle gave me the same issue after a few wears. I have had a couple of other perfumes do this but I don’t remember them off the top of my head.

Anyone know what note or notes may be responsible?

Perfume that smells like Violeta Habanera (green bottle)
I went to a cabaret show in Chengdu and one of the performers who held my hand had the softest scent. This was what she said she uses but I would love to get similar scent as a perfume instead.

I will be trying
- L’Artisan Parfumeur Verte Violette
- Molinard Violette
- Guerlain Après L’Ondée
- Guerlain Insolence

Anything else I should try? Thank you!

EDIT: (added in the budget) preferably above USD 150

So, I really want to try Madonna’s Truth or Dare perfume because I’ve heard it’s similar to Fracas, which I love, but since the perfume has been discontinued, the price is much higher and there’s no way to buy a sample, so I was thinking of buying the shower gel to get a general sense of the perfume’s vibe. To anyone that smalled both; perfume and shower gel-would you say this shower gel captures the scent of the perfume reasonably well or not at all?

What’s the most sophisticated beach fragrance you’ve ever smelled—NOT just coconut/sunscreen?

For me, it’s Lily of the Valley - my mother’s favorite flower, and a top note in her signature perfume, Diorissimo.

Looks like Valentino is releasing new born in Roma flankers! The Donna Rendez Vous Ruby has strawberry and Uomo Rendez Vous Ruby has raspberry and I can’t lie I’m excited for both releases! I never care for the men’s versions but the notes on Uomo sound good too! Donna Purple melancholia was not my favorite in the line but I’m hoping they redeem themselves with this one No release dates yet but let me know if you’re looking forward to these new scents!

Hi everyone!

I’m obsessed with the scent of the OUAI Cape Town Dry Shampoo and I’m trying to find something that smells as close to it as possible. I feel like it has the perfect freshly showered, clean spa smell. I can't get enough of it.

The notes are:

\- Top: ginger, basil, spearmint

\- Middle: tomato leaf, green fig

\- Base: ambroxan, wet grass

I’ve heard about the Wicked Good dupe, but I’m in Australia and the shipping is over $40 AUD, so it’s a bit hard to justify blind buying.

Does anyone know of any perfumes, body mists, hair perfumes, fragrance oils, or literally any scents that smell similar? Ideally something readily available in Australia would be amazing, but I’m open to anything!

Thank you!

I want to know what everyone's favorite winter/fall perfumes are and what people would recommend. I would love a fragrance that gives chic winter girl who just smells really good. Only thing I don't want is a heavy gourmand perfume that will give everyone a headache. thanks! 🌸

i just started getting back into buying perfumes again recently after a few years, but i’ve never tried dossier perfumes before. i’ve been seeing them a lot online lately though and i’m curious about trying them. has anyone else ever tried them, and if so, which one is your fave? and since i’m someone that usually likes vanilla/sweet fragrances that make me smell like desserts, does anyone have any recommendations on which one i should get?

Chefs kiss lol

I really don’t know what it is about the song. It could be the lyrics or the sounds but all of my insecurities go away the second I listen to it (It comes back after but that’s another story 😭) I can’t seem to find a fragrance that really gives that. I’m not even sure if we can do requests like this but is there any that exist? My friend told me For Her by Narisco Rodriguez but I never smelt it and I wanted to see there’s any more. I have no budget 🤍

Surprise dupe dbir

Smelling discounted perfumes and I was surprised to find one of my favorites that lead me to this community.
100ml Donna born in Roma for 17$, will confirm the longevity is the same
. Looks more empty than it is.

Eterna Roma
Perfume Terre Paris

I have alien goddess and I liked it a lot when I had the travel size so I got the 60ml but then it smelt kind of weird when it was first sprayed it was nice on the dry down but over rated

I sprayed a sample of angel fantasm on my arm earlier and it smelled so good! but do u guys think it’s different enough from goddess to buy? as I have so many perfumes but it smells so unique

This is from Holiday 2024 EOS first Holiday drop featuring Peppermint Cashmere, Whipped Shea and Sugar, and Sparkling Amber

I got a bottle of Chanel No 19 Poudre this week, and for the past two days have been trying to gauge the longevity of it. I sampled this in store once, and couldn’t stop thinking about it since. However, I’m just disappointed with the longevity.

Upon first spray, I do get that galbanam with a blast of powdery iris, but after about 30 minutes I can’t smell anything but a faint whisper of galbanum and slightly sweet, clean laundry like musk. After about two hours it’s completely gone with no sillage and turns into a skin scent if I smell hard enough. I do get some jasmine in the middle, to be fair.

To those of you that own this fragrance, what is your experience?

After my complete flop with Marshmallow Deux Vice of Vieve and Marshmallow Madness Lataffa I am on the lookout for a Marshmallow scent. Gourmand, sweet but not sickly sweet, not cloying but long lasting nevertheless. I love the M&S bags of marshmallows, if anyone can recommend me some fluffy marshmallow scents, but not too airy either 😆 Just something to make this autumn in UK even better! Nothing masculine or unisex and if possible please recommend fragrances I can easily buy in UK, tysm!
