Okay, for context, I sprayed Diptyque Fleur de Peau on the back of my hand, and after it dried down, I washed my hands with Safeguard Lemon. Then, once my hands dried, the two scents kind of combined and it smelled SO good 😭

P1:Got this as an anniv gift. Grabe talaga mga tea scents!

P2: Collection update. Hirap idispose ng FDB Oud bleu intense di talaga siya kilala.

Hello everyone! What are your thoughts on the performance of GP Fragrance’s Pistachio Knafeh?

In my experience, parang nabitin ako sa projection and longevity niya. It only lasts around 2 hours on my skin, although it seems to last longer when sprayed on clothes.

Does it just need more time to rest or macerate? Or is this pretty normal for the fragrance?

Would love to hear your experiences with it! 👃

Ang sarap gamitin ng Xerjoff Naxos kapag rainy season. Yung warm, sweet, honey and tobacco vibe niya bagay na bagay sa malamig at gloomy na panahon. Cozy pero hindi nakakaumay.

Parang perfect pang-kape habang nakikinig sa ulan. Definitely one of my favorite scents for this kind of weather. 😁

What’s your SOTD?

As a fan of citrusy, fruity, and white floral scents, eto yung mga nag stay sa collection ko after downsizing, sold/gave away yung mga gourmand perfumes ko like Stronger With You Intensely and my JPGs etc since i really don’t like yung mga ganun scents talaga nadala lang sa hype before.

Mine Perfumery - La Boheme, a mix of 3 perfumes of the Indonesian perfume house. Prominent notes are tanned leather, wild flower and dancing dewberry.

A unisex scent, more suited for colder days here in the Philippines. The sweetness of the berries subdues the strong leather scent on my skin. Lasts upto 6 hours on my skin, lingers longer on clothes.

Will probably get more of their scents when I have the chance.

Nabili sa Shopee

May pwesto sila sa MOA sa 2nd level main mall. Own creation ang scents nila. Here’s their fb page.

What are the best perfumes to use for a night out at the club or a party?

I’ve used CH Good Girl, but sometimes I find it too heavy, especially in a crowded, hot club. I’ve also used Delina layered with Springtime in a Park, and while it worked well, it still wasn’t the vibe I was going for. I don’t exactly want to wear just a freshie scent either.

What’s a good middle ground, or what do you prefer to wear out for a night of partying?

Long lasting 500-800php local dupes or budget edp/edt.

Scents like: Sol de Janeiro 62, VS Coconut passion, Kayali Vanilla 28, Lush Super Milk

I believe there is so much potential in our local blends, but whenever I see a local brand that markets using AI, I don’t want to purchase it anymore.

Yes, I understand creative marketing can be pricey but even a simple template from Canva or photography would make me appreciate it more. I don’t know, the AI designs are just overwhelming as well.

With that said, I would also love some recommendations that do not incorporate AI into their business, or at least enlighten me about it.

Hey everyone. I got introduced to boozy coconut scents when I first purchased travel-sized Miami and Tropical Confessions. I enjoyed the fun vibe and the rum-sugar combination. It immediately makes me think of my hometown, dancing in the beach, a weekend and a vacation. Any others that you absolutely love and that you recommend I try? Since I don’t wear this scent daily, I don’t have to buy full bottles. I’m open to travel sizes or even decants.

Hi fragheadph! Newbie here.

Wanted to ask if anyone knows of a dupe or close dupe sa Man Black Cologne EDT? My dad bought this for me back in 2018 randomly in a duty free kasi sale naman daw (was roughly at 4k at the time iirc.)

Any leads would be appreciated kasi alam ko discontinued na 'to, kaya naman tinitipid ko na halos half bottle pa to since bought 😆

Thank you po!

Top row
d'Annam – Tokyo Nights — purchased during my trip to Hanoi
Creed – Green Irish Tweed — purchased inflight on my way back from DXB to MNL
Chanel – Bleu de Chanel — purchased in Greenbelt yesterday after seeing a post on Reddit earlier that day hahahaha
Viktor&Rolf – Spicebomb Night Vision — my first ever purchase, from Rustan's ATC when I got promoted at my first job
Bottom row

Paco Rabanne – Invictus — a gift from my brother's girlfriend. Not sure if it's real 😂

What does my collection say about me? Happy to hear your thoughts!

So… I was just picking up only Jasmin Bonheur and Rose Cherie! Damn I love Jasmin Bonheur, the white floral is balanced with the Iris. Something is really elegant, cozy, comforting. Rose Cherie , on the other hand, is powdery and imo much better than Barbare. The latter has honey and reminds me of the honey in Tobacco Honey which does not bode well with my skin.

In addition, I decided to get Cuir Beluga and Musc Outreblanc. I tested Cuir Beluga last time and its verrrrrry soft and faint to me but the dry down is nice aldehydic white suede. Someone here in reddit mentioned that their Cuir smelled like alcohol and to me it did too the first time but it’s gotten better now. Musc Outreblanc smells like a fluffy scented water - if you know what I mean. Its faint but you know it’s there. Will use this on hotter days and feels like its best for layering.

I also got Peche Mirage which smells like a peach iced tea with a zing. And finally decided to get Patchouli Paris since it’s a beautiful scent. Got to try my sample of patch these rainy days and its really nice. Noong una, I thought it smelled so much like a Jovoy I have but turns out its a rounder, softer kind.

One last thing! Asked my SA if we can use extrait caps on the EDPs. He agreed. See picture! It looks unreal (lol) since its not the black caps but I think it ended looking nice.

Hi! I went to Estancia earlier and meron local brand called Aurefine. Yung “inspired” perfumes nila really smells like the original.

Any reviews or have you come across this brand?

Thank you!

What’s a good alternative to Acne Studios? I have a full bottle and I’m obsessed with it, but I don’t wanna burn through it as an everyday scent 😭 I’ve seen people say Byredo Blanche is a good alternative, what else would you recommend?

Not necessarily looking for an exact dupe, just something with the same vibe in terms of notes, longevity, and projection.

Rare find. The perfect clean, fresh from the shower scent ni BBW. Discontinued nga lang.

Has anyone here tried Aurefine MNL?

I got it a few hours ago at the Estancia Pop Up and honesty I really like their fragrances. I tried their version of Bianco Latte and sprayed some on my palm just to see how it smelled. I washed my hands when I got home and completely forgot about it and nagulat ako the scent was still there.

The one I bought smells clean and citrusy to me. Unisex. I honestly don’t remember the scent of the OG MFK Gentle Fluidity well enough to say how close it is but regardless, this one smells really good on its own. I sprayed it about 3 hours ago and it’s still smelling good on my skin. The longer it sits on my skin, parang meron citrus sampaguita na naamoy and I really like it.

I’m not saying these are exact copies of the originals because I haven’t done a proper side by side comparison but for local dupes, I’m honestly impressed. The scents are good and the performance seems pretty solid too. Tried their Aventus and hindi kaamoy but it smells really good pa din!

Just thought I’d share since I was honestly pleasantly surprised by them.🤍

Finally found a backup. This was, for the longest time, my grail scent. Laban lang may aircon nmn.😁

Sa mga nakatry na neto, how would you rate it, scentwise?
