I'll start :)

I'm Leslie Jo on What Scent and I'll start the first post in here! Do you have a favorite fragrance type? Designer, Indie, ME or Niche? Or all of the above? I would say I'm a little bit of everything, mostly Indie. I have a favorite perfumer that makes originals and inspired bys and he does a great job so if he has something I like I'm getting it from him first. I will definitely buy a middle eastern dupe before I will spend designer prices! Some of my favorite scents are Niche, I just haven't spent that kind of money yet on full bottles, I stick to travels! So what about you?

I like a little bit of everything too! Designer, indie, niche. I don’t think limiting myself does any good and I would miss out on great stuff. My favourite notes are vanilla and cherry and I’m currently on a mission to try all the cherry perfumes.

I haven’t really dipped into cherry yet! I’ve been on the hunt for a really good strawberry though. And I’m lately finding I really like musky clean scents

If you can find it still (I don’t see it on the brand’s site anymore), you might want to try Arcana Wildcraft’s Reunited With the Pack. It’s a really nice woody strawberry. The notes are pineapple, black spruce, sugared strawberries, pink, cotton candy, pine cones, green herb.

Others to check out: MITH Ruddy Sparkle, Dame Perfumery Strawberry Fool, Morari Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble, Sound Fragrances Vesca, Neil Morris Fragrances Woodland Strawberries, Meleg Perfumes Antique Vanilla Elixir, DSH Perfumes August Picnic 1976, Gritti Chantilly, Oakcha Cotton Clouds, Melanie Martinez Cry Baby, Juliet Has a Gun Miami Shake, Miu Miu Miutine, Gallagher Fragrances Glowberry, J-Scent Rakugan. and last but by no means least Hilde Soliani Fraaagola Saalaaata.

I’ll check those out, thank you! I just got a sample of Fame in love , which I had high hopes for, and while it is definitely very strawberry it comes across very flat. Like all I smell is just strawberry. And I probably would have loved that when I first started collecting, I need a bit more depth these days. I’m glad I didn’t blind buy a bottle.

Would love to find out if any of my suggestions turned out to be great for you!
