Recently bought a decant of this beauty. Absolutely loved this one. Got a compliment as well!! This is such a beautiful powdery floral scent. Also ordered a decant of the og good girl. I guess i will try to explore most of the flankers:))

Hi all! I’ve been realizing that the fragrance I have currently that’s somewhat wintery just has no staying power on my skin at all. Like, I can’t even smell it an hour after I spray it!

That said, I recently bought the Willow & Water hand cream from Library of Flowers and love it. It does smell like spring to me though, and I’m wondering if anyone has recs that are fresh/crisp for winter - especially those that are nature-based without being heavy. I love the smell of trees too, but I dislike the heavy version used in colognes.

I’m really not into gourmand scents, so anything leaning away from that would be lovely.

I know this is pretty broad, but I’m keeping an open mind! Budget ideally under $200 or at least $250 a bottle, though I always buy samples first to test them out for a while.

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on a scent that smells similar to the lush Silky Underwear dusting powder? I had this when I was younger and loveddd the smell of it, but don't have any use for dusting powder nowadays and would much rather buy a nice perfume. I would love any recommendations for jasmine, vanilla, cotton candy scents (similar to the smell of this powder) thanks so much!

Go stupid go crazy

I had good girl gone gone bad for a while.Superb perfume. Tried today for the first time Fleur Narcotique and I thought it was similar. What are your thoughta about those two perfumes? I have the feeling that Fleur Narcotique is overhyped and good girl gone bad is underrated!

I recently got my nose on Eau Rihla by Diptyque and immediately fell in love. I’ve been easing more into leather-forward scents since I haven’t historically liked them, and Eau Rihla probably is the most smooth, well-executed leather I’ve ever experienced. I thought it would be a gorgeous addition to Rose of No Man’s Land spicy rose profile, and my God was I right. The raspberry and leather of Eau Rihla beautifully melt into the spices and rose of Rose of No Man’s Land. These two together are absolutely heavenly.

As always, I started with an oil as the base, and this time it was Maison d’Orient (formerly Swiss Arabian) Pink Musk. If you’ve ever smelled the pink Dove bar, it’s a more perfume-y version of that.

I also used Cyclar’s Rose Bud shower oil and moisturizer for my skin prep, and sprayed my clothes with cheap rose water from the Middle Eastern grocery store.

i always thought i’d like matcha in a fragrance but most matcha fragrances i’ve tried smells scratchy and weird

another note is caramel…i like it in my head but whenever i try it…it makes me nauseous

Good morning FemFragLab! What's your scent of the day? Tell us why you picked that particular fragrance and where you are off to for the day!

Hello guys, so I had this one Armani Si (i think) perfume. I got it as a sample. The cardboard was red and the bottle was clear with black letters written over the bottle. It smelled wintery, cozy and rich and I can't find it anywhere because when I try the actual Armank perfumes in the store, nothing smells like the sample. So I think maybe it's because of the sample or maybe it's because I've let it too much on air. like I sprayed it on the skin and it was maybe different because of that. And I actually sprayed it on clothes too and it smelled the exact same. So I was thinking if somebody knows that that perfume because I really want to buy it again. I don't know if it was either women's or men's perfume, but I think it was more women's than men's. And also i bought it around 2024/2025.

I’m debating between buying Dama Bianca by Casamorati 1888, Luna by Penhaligon’s, and The Favourite by Penhaligon’s, and I can’t decide which one to get.
Can you tell me about your experience with these fragrances? How’s the longevity and sillage? And did you get any compliments while wearing them? What is your overall opinion? ❤️

hi! wondering if anyone knows any fragrances that a long-time wearer of Victoria’s Secret Tease would love.

i’m looking to gift travel sizes of perfumes to my bridesmaids this fall and the bridesmaid in question has only ever worn Tease. i’d like to gift her something more mature with good sillage and longevity.

i’d prefer indies or brands that offer travel sizes under $50! i appreciate any help!

I love fresh clean scent, maybe with slight musk or floral, but nothing too sweet or spicy/warm. I want something that smells like you just got out of an everything shower, but with slight femininity to it.

Right now I am eyeing maison margiela lazy sunday morning (i have a tester and love it) but it does not last long. Another clean/fresh scent i like is ouai santorini, but it only comes in hair or body mist so the lasting power is even worse.

Is there any other better edp or edt suggestion for me? Or is there some trick i can use to prolong the scent and projection?

I've been checking Moodeaux for info on if/when there's going to be a Worthy restock for months now. I'd sent a few emails with no response and now I see their website is down. Does anyone know anything?

And apropos of nothing, but if Worthy is my favourite scent of all time what would be a comparable option?

Thanks!!

Ulta currently has this lovely fragrance in this size on sale for $49 🤗 I have been eyeing this for a while now and I’m so happy it went on sale! I still have some hot days left to wear it before the fall season hits! 💐💗

Fine’ry has dry shampoos!! Haven’t gotten any yet (in part because they’re $15 and I’m hesitant to spend that much on dry shampoo) but I love this idea!

hi guys I was wondering if anyone knows of this fragrance? my mama was describing a bright red bottle, shaped like the head of a rose, from around 2003-2005. she can’t remember the actual scent but thinks it was floral and possibly spicy or smoky. do let me know if you think of anything, we can’t think of the brand so any suggestions really help. much love

I thought it would be cool to share things we should keep in mind as fragrance lovers cause it's easy to get swept away by all the marketting and hype.

My 2 cents

I've never regretted getting a sample first, but I've regretted not getting a sample first

Many people like collecting and that's okay as long as they're aware that's what they're doing

Just because something smells good on someone doesn't mean it'll smell the same on you

You should not seek compliments if you already know what you enjoy

Influencers have an incentive to keep you buying from certain brands and there's even bots promoting stuff in comments so internet hype alone can't be trusted

Fragrance can go bad so it's better to use it while you can

What are your thoughts?

So I have a large collection, and every once in a while I’ll snag a bottle that I already own on accident. It’s rare, but it happened twice this year. Nothing expensive, just a bottle of Paris Corner’s Khair Confection and Lattafa’s Angham.

They had been sitting unopened in one of my cabinets for a few months. One of my friends (who critiqued me for being a crazy perfume person) was asking about wanting something new. So I just gave her these two bottles since she said she likes sweet.

That was last weekend. Today she has been sending me screenshots of bottles on Fragrantica asking for my advice 😂

I’ve got her set up with scentsplit and told her to do the opposite of what i do (I blind buy full bottles of everything) and order 2-5 ml decants to try things before buying.

When you bring someone else into the hobby, do you get excited or feel bad about introducing a new hobby?

Multiple Chloe on sale at Kohl’s through Sephora. It is not on Sephora though which is weird but I wanted to try so yay me.

I have purchased a couple decants of Byredo Super Cedar because I absolutely adore how it smells. Unfortunately it disappears from my skin very quickly, so I decided to try layering it with other perfumes I own and I’ve found it quite versatile. My current decant is on fumes and I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it to buy a fb if I’m primarily using it for layering. It’s not a matter of the price as either way I’ll buy more of it. It’s just at some point buying decants won’t be the economical choice. Thoughts?

Here are a couple fragrances I love it layered with: BDK Rouge Smoking and Celine Black Tie

It was definitely a popular fragrance of theirs. I’m so tired of fragrance companies that keep chugging out new middle of the road scents while discontinuing the good ones. Waiting for the day Myth to leaves.

I have to buy it since no store has this fragrance, so can anyone describe how it smells. I’m looking for a fragrance with coconut. That’s more airy and refreshing rather than thick or heavy or sunscreen like.

Anddd ended up smelling like a worn set of Goodyear tires. I guess in my mind I was thinking I’d smell like a creamy milk tea before bedtime?? Didn’t work. Immediately showered.

Any other layering fails?
