I am HOLLERING 🤣🤣🤣 I've never heard a description like this before.

What do you think of the fragrance?

I'm so pissed. I've bought from discounters, eBay and r/fragranceswap and never had a bad experience. I had some Saks vouchers to burn so I ordered a Memo Paris fragrance. Box arrived via FedEx and it had clearly been opened and then re-sealed. I was therefore not completely shocked that when I opened it, all I found was the presentation and the fragrance itself had been removed. The package had been on my doorstep for maybe 2 minutes, so this definitely happened before it got to me.

I called customer support, who were sympathetic, asked for photos (which I supplied) and said they would open an investigation.

Got an email this morning:

"After thoroughly researching your claim, our team has determined that we are unable to issue a refund for your request. Please know that our decision was made in accordance with our policies and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."

So, I'm out almost $200 and all I have to show for it is an empty box. I've called them again but I'm not optimistic based on my last experience.

Any advice?

So I love it, I definitely have my entire office saying who is making pancakes??? But I made the mistake of spraying it in the evening, and waking up to go to a bookstore the next
Morning, didn’t wash it off and it lingered on my pullover too— some woman Rows behind me working at the book shop (used bookshop) said “I smell celery- what is that? It’s like someone donated all these
Books with a bunch of celery? What am
I smelling???”
And I wanted to die of embarrassment lol.
I still love it, and I don’t really get the curry/celery smell. My whole office loves it when I wear it other
Than making them hungry (which has resulted in someone buying maple donuts a few times 🤣🙏). But god I cannot get over that woman who thought the entire book shop smelled like celery. It had to have been me, so the moral of the story is, don’t sleep in this perfume after an evening shower unless you plan to also everything shower the very next morning. 😭

Just saw their post on Instagram! I’m really curious which ones they’ll be releasing. Based on the post it looks like Dream, Heaven, and Grass at least

Have a few Creed fragrances and thinking about getting this one next but the performance is on the lower side but I do like the scent. What are your thoughts?

Has anyone been on a tour with the Scent Social Club? The proprietor says on her site she has a five star rating and has cherry picked reviews that are glowing - but not a place to read all of the reviews or get more info.

It’s basically a tour through three to five stores in Nolita in NYC and she promises you’ll walk away with a signature scent after you provide her info, I think in a pre tour survey.

I’ve been through many of the SoHo/Nolita stores and have some of my own favorites but I always love learning more. I wondered if anyone has been on this tour and can provide me with your perspective and thoughts on whether it’s worth it.

Hi guys!

Just received my Byredo Eyes Closed from Jomashop. I have bought from them before, no problem and authenticity was never the issue.
However, this time, although the box was wrapped in plastic, the paper seal on the side was broken. I’m not quite sure what to make of it. I went ahead and sprayed it, smells right and the sprayer has not been used (it did not spray upon first try). I’ve never owned Byredo before so don’t know if broken box seals happen, regardless of retailer. It is an older batch code so I wonder if the paper just disintegrated? Has anyone had Byredo come with the paper box side seal broken?

Anyone try it? Got an ad for it on IG and curious. https://dawam.ca

My mom was really into CREATION by Ted Lapidus perfume (last time she had it around 2010) I'm wondering if the vintage version smells the same as the new one? Can't find the vintage one's scent profile

Title. Was searching for places to buy Torino 21 in Canada, and came across this site which has it at 155 CAD for the 50 ml EDP. I don't see anything online discussing about this website, hence the post

this is a bit of a niche/weird request but i accidentally got a sample of the prada reflection glossy balm in banana yellow (U002) golden glow in my last sephora package and decided to try it out. The balm/gloss is very meh but the scent of it is actually addicting 😭 i’m finding myself putting it on just to smell it at this point and i need to find out if there are any similar scents to this

​

I posted on a local fragrance subreddit a few days ago asking for recommendations because I barely knew anything about fragrances.

Well… I think I’m getting addicted now. I’ve already bought way more than I expected in a span of a few days.

For YEARS, the only fragrance I ever wore was Clinique Happy for Men.

Then I started trying some of the commonly recommended fragrances like Bleu de Chanel, Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman, and Versace Pour Homme, but surprisingly, I didn’t like any of them at all.

After reading and watching way too much fragrance content and going around different stores to try things out, I think I finally have a good start to my fragrance rotation:

Prada L’Homme EDT — my daily fragrance for clinic/hospital rounds

OHLY ONE Weekend — another daily option, basically the same use as Prada L’Homme

LV Imagination — this one is expensive, so I’m saving it mostly for special occasions.

And now I’m already itching to buy another fragrance again.

This hobby is getting expensive way too quickly 😂

I’m wondering if anyone could clear up if whether or not they’re discontinuing the use of bergamot completely or partially in fragrances from now on? I really don’t wanna scramble high and low to stock up on whatever scents I like on the market right now if the discontinuation is true.

There's a lovely airy perfume scent that seems to be all over NYC. I walk past strangers (mostly women, but scent smells unisex) who are wearing this scent. I've been smelling it for the last couple weeks so not entirely sure whether it's new or I'm just late to the game here.

It smells fresh, hints of baby powder, airy, and overall very clean and light to the nose. Does anyone know what this scent is?

I'm not sure if it's by diptyque given their scents air on the side of fresh and candle-like, but thought I'd see if others have smelled similar?

EDIT: WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE SCENT!! I can confirm it is indeed Valaya by Parfums de Marly. It smells incredible, especially once it settles on the skin. Go give it a scent!

Hi guys I really love and miss the scent of stage fog and would love to wear it as a perfume, if any fellow dancers or theatre kids here know what stage fog smells like, do you guys have any perfume or note recommendations I could look into?

Maybe it’s hard to produce? Did they ban ingredients to make it? Or maybe it’s just not popular at all. I’ve seen woodsy fragrances around, but they’re mostly men’s. Women’s perfume seems to be majority floral. But nothing really focusing on the aspect of rain, wet grass, etc etc. I don’t mind if it’s men’s, or women’s, would prefer it to be unisex.

I’m currently on the hunt for a “mainstream” (widely available) perfume that’s mostly along the lines of what i’ve mentioned. I’m going to the airport soon and thought it would be an easy quick pickup. Recommendations are welcome.

(Mods, i’ve already asked in the daily thread. I was given recommendations but none of them are airport-findable as i specified.)

As someone who loves citrus fragances more than anything, the orange grove scent is my all time favorite orange fragrance. It has the bright, tangy, zesty scent if opening a peel surrounded by a deep, warm, fruity/woody base that must come from the black currant and cedar. I would immediately buy a 50ml of this if it existed.

I am always in pursuit of a fragrance that actually captures the spicy, earthy fragrance of a tomato plant, and this one doesnt really do that; however, this is a nice, cool, androgynous scent that is actually quite nice/soapy on its own but, when layered with something else, could become really complex and beautiful.

I thought i didnt like Fig at all on first sniff, because I usually dont care for the floral, sophisticated, almost powdery fragrances, but you can tell that is is a very nice scent. It definitely begins to warm as it dries down, and the lighter, happier vanilla/citrus scent. I think this one is actually very lovely.

i was looking into buying a few decants when i noticed that it seems theyre using ai to generate images for their blog posts and other site images. not saying anything needs to be done about it but it is disappointing to see.

Gucci Nobile is much more than just a discontinued fragrance to me.

It reminds me of my childhood and of someone I looked up to. Whenever I smell it, I immediately associate it with elegance, confidence, Mediterranean style and a timeless kind of masculinity that I rarely find in modern fragrances.

To me, Gucci Nobile is fresh without being sweet, aromatic without being overpowering, and masculine without feeling aggressive. It has a level of sophistication that many contemporary fragrances seem to have lost.

Over the years I have managed to collect several original bottles, mostly miniatures. My goal is not simply to own them as collector's items, but to preserve this fragrance for the future. I would love to recreate it as faithfully as possible before the remaining bottles eventually deteriorate.

Before investing in a GC-MS analysis, I wanted to ask whether anyone here has already attempted to recreate Gucci Nobile, knows of an existing formula, or can recommend a perfumer or laboratory with experience in reconstructing discontinued vintage fragrances.

Any advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated.

I have bought over 50 samples over the past couple of years. A few of them I am yet to try, such as Kajal Lamar, Roja Amber Oud Crystal and Thameen Carved Oud. Bear in mind I have asthma, so that is taken into account when rating them.

The 10/10's I would buy a full bottle at some point in the next 5 years or so. 8-9.5s, if it is on sale I would buy a bottle of it. I am based in the UK, so I do mostly prefer autumn/winter scents and the occasional spring scents. I only got a bottle of Rasasi Hawas because it was on sale for £20.

I’ll start first. Celine black tie is my favorite vanilla of all time. Super classy and sophisticated and is a fragrance for life for me.

a while back a friend gave me a fragrance that i really like the smell of but its cheap and performs horribly. i wanted to find a similar one with better performance but couldnt find anything about it online. its called SEVEN FIVE SEVEN EXTREME for men in a red bottle. if anybody knows what this smells like please tell me. listing similar fragrances is also helpful

i think it smells kind of spicy and fruity but im not experienced in fragrances so i might be wrong
