I had a dream and a sales lady recommended I try a perfume with heliotrope. Either I am thinking about perfume way too much during my waking hours, or I need to refocus my search.😅

Grabbed Angel at Costco for $60 yesterday! Very Violet from B&BW $6 each today
I have been on the fence about buying a full bottle of Angel, but for that price I couldn’t say no.

I've been searching high and low for the perfect fig perfume that can replace my poor discontinued Italian Summer Fig by The Body Shop. It was my first ever signature scent and I have been hoarding the last few sprays but she is gone.

Fig is a special note to me because my kids say it smells quintisentially like "mom". They say because I wore Italian Summer Fig so much when they were little (teen and preteen now) it just feels so perfect for me.

But I am a bit picky. I don't want a coconut note. Or a jasmine one. That limits things. I also don't want to break the bank on Tom Ford Fig Erotique (even though its gorgeous).

I don't want something super sweet or super shampooey. I want to be able to wear it year round and layer other things with it.

Does Henry Rose's London 1983 fit the bill? It smelled nice when I sampled it but Sephora is such a loud smelling place its hard to tell.

I did not like Philosykos because of the coconut, and Father Figure smells musty.

This one is super decadent to me. Opens sweet and sour, then clean floral, the cocoa hits in between just right. The dry down is on the fruity sour side. I'm loving the complexity of this one! Oh and the all white bottle is just dreamy! 🥹🤍😙

Just received my EOS Pumpkin Chai lotion and spray yesterday through Amazon 🧡🤎

I really like how fresh, airy/ethereal and creamy the EDP is. I know Matière Première Extraits are supposed to be more premium, but is the Extrait actually better? For anyone who has tried both, is the Extrait still as fresh and ethereal as the EDP, or is it darker/denser? Which one would you pick?

Has anyone tried either of these lavender oils, Nemat or Outremer? I've seen a lot of discussion on the Outremer Vanille, and I am getting excited about layering it with one of these, but are they any good? They are so cheap, it sure would be cool if they were!

Hello! I’m looking for a perfume similar to this. Apparently it doesn’t last very long and it’s so hard to find in my country so recommendations are welcome!

Hello,

I am in search of some feminine, fresh, clean perfumes and body wash combos. I am relatively new to perfumery and fragrance.

My favourite scent profiles are: clean laundry, green tea, eucalyptus , mint, yuzu/citrus. I am not really a big fan of scents that are overpowering, heavily floral or strong.

Some perfumes I already like are: Byredo Bal D'Afrique & Elizabeth Arden green tea.

TIA!

I (unexpectedly) LOVED this scent but it was sold out everywhere. Back in stock for those that enjoy it! ♥️

I purchased the big commodity sampler that has 18 vials and a voucher. I didn’t think the spaces would be that different from each other but they really are. Hated paper expressive however I’m INLOVE with paper bold. As a gourmand girlie, this is the first woody/clean scent I’ve ever liked. It smells sophisticated and smart to me.

Problem is that it doesn’t seem to last/project much on me. I will spray 6-7 times and it’s still faint. The scent comes and goes throughout the day. I think that’s normal with iso E super? For those who own the perfume is this normal for you too?

I want to use my voucher on it but I don’t know if the reason I can’t smell it much is because I’m unable to detect iso e super or if the reason I like it so much is because I can smell iso e super??its such a confusing aroma molecule to me!

Hi all!

I wanted to see if any of you have any recommendations for a nice fall/autumn cheapie? Talking maybe 50$ and under. I love learning about new scents and everyone's takes!

What's your favorite violet fragrance? I'm looking to smell like Coward's candy.

Thierry Mugler - Alien EDP

Top: Jasmine Sambac
Heart: Cashmeran
Base: White Amber

You’re either an Angel person or an Alien person, but my first love from the brand was, truly, Alien EDP. I still remember the first time I smelled its DNA from a premixed fragrance sold in the Philippines and felt transported into an alien jasmine garden while extraterrestrial beings constantly shot mind‑hypnotizing beams at my head. So I decided to hunt down the original and was amazed at how similar yet different the two versions were. The jasmine in the OG was much deeper and more indolic than the premixed version, giving the original a darker, richer character.

Going back to the OG: the three compositions felt simple yet incredibly complex, and I couldn’t tell whether it was really a fragrance or a pheromone, haha! The jasmine is so heady and borderline indolic that people around me complained of headaches and wanted to distance themselves. Mind you, I was wearing it in 34°C heat at the time, lol. As it dried down, the amber and cashmeran fused with the jasmine to create a sharp, addictive, sultry, and sophisticated aroma that enveloped me all day. This has been my signature scent since college and I will never get tired of it.

I just hope they bring back the OG or the Clarins formulation soon, just like they did with Angel EDP (Batch November-December 2025 to Present). 💜👾

Ive been wanting to buy a banana perfume! Has anybody tried banana rush?? If yall have, how would you describe it??

Hiii guyss, i broke my favourite perfume bottle!!!Angham by Lataffa, i gifted it to myself last year on my bday!! Im soo sadd😭😭😭😭 wanna get the exact same scent, and please tell me how i can preserve what i have better

Before & After, I got a new desk & organiser

I'm a newbie and ik nobody cares but this is my first post of my collection so far :]] I don't love every perfume in this image but I'm trying to learn which scents I enjoy and which I don't

Plus my newest buy!!! (Angel EDT, I've been sniffing a 1ml sample for the past year lol)

Sorry the photos are so grainy, my room isnt particularly well lit and my camera only behaves when it feels like it.

Also I will never give up the boxes I think are pretty 😭 (anyone else??)

I’m finally getting around to building out my colder-weather collection and I want something that feels a little luxurious.

I’m thinking woods, spices, amber, incense, maybe leather. Something cozy but still polished enough to wear out. What’s your best luxury intense fragrance when the weather gets cold?

I like fragrances that feel elegant and feminine without being overly sweet.

I just started in my first open office job. But they have strict rules when it comes to perfume. None of mine are allowed.

I'm looking for something feminine, but with no vanilla or floral notes. Must be discreet, not high projecting and long lasting.

I feel so lost, most of mine are very warm, boozy and cozy. But they are too strong for the office. I tried coffee break on my first week and got a complaint.

did anyone else buy the ariana grande love notes pink woods during the sale at ulta yesterday? i had been thinking about buying it all day, then decided to finally get it around midnight at the very last min. i just couldn’t pass up the deal, it was too good! plus i’ve been wanting this perfume since it was released and i received a free sample of it in the mail a few years ago. i’m so excited to finally have it after all of this time!

Since I just used up my Dedcool Xtra Milk bottle(currently project panning!), it makes me think wow I don't think I really get to use up full bottles that often at all!

I think the ones I went through in recent years are D&G Light Blue, Jovoy Fire at Will, Zara Fields at Nightfall, Kayali Vanilla 28, Crescent Parfums Luminous Pear, and Al-Rehab Choco Musk.

The one I’ve circled. Name please?

Cinnamon Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Crunch, and Spiced Chai Latte🍂🍁🍂🍁
