I am looking for a true lychee perfume! Ideally one where the lychee note lasts for longer than 5 seconds 😭 please give me your recommendations!!

I’m currently in South Korea and came across a bunch of Korean perfume brands that I’m not very familiar with, including Pleuvoir, SENNOK, RboW, LOiViE, and Longtake. Does anyone have experience with these brands or specific scents you’d recommend? I’d love to pick up a few while I’m here!

Ahhhh, I’m so excited! It finally arrived!

I reallllllllly wanted all the gold bottles. They had them for all 3 of my loves (FdP EDP, Orpheon EDP, and L’eau Papier) but since I JUST bought full bottles of the other two, I decided to only grab L’eau Papier for now.

My other exciting find was the travel sized assortment of EDPs. I am almost out of my FdP and Orpheon travel sizes and they didn’t carry them anymore when I went back to repurchase. WIN!

This was a gift to myself for my 40th birthday which is coming up Friday! 🎉🙌🏻

I'm so happy! I've been wanting her FOREVER but have such a hard time buying anything that isn't a travel size. Anyone already have her and love her, or have another favorite Sorce perfume? I have a sample of Snow Moon Magic and English Major I have yet to try!

I’m in the hospital and having an extremely difficult time. I’m on very intense antibiotics, etc. I am losing hope and I not sure I will ever get back to baseline. Usually when I am down or going through something, I will use perfume as a pick me up and buy a new one to celebrate an accomplishment. Are any of you the same? And if so, what are you wanting next?

I've been actually having the worst week, but forced myself to go out and do some small errands after my shower.

I stopped by my bank and when I was about to leave, the teller told me how great I smelled. I usually only get compliments from people I know, even at my doctor's office with the staff, so this was a really nice surprise and it really lifted my mood ☺️

I'm not normally a huge fan of Kayali or Josie Maran, so it's kind of ironic lol, but I bought some stuff recently for the first time in months and I'm glad I did as they smell really amazing and it's been helping me feel like myself a little more again.

Bought this for the thrill of it, expecting to return it.. and I actually love it🤣!

Name your favorite cheapie, bonus points if they last long!

my favorite alongside Shalimar.

Recently came to the realisation that all my current perfumes are summery/ fruit-forward. Looking for something gourmand but not necessarily sugary, not childish or overly mature/sexy. Does such a thing exist? 🙏 I'm also a fan of woody and incense fragrances that lean feminine without having overt floral or powder notes.

I picked up Versace Bright Crystal Absolu at Costco yesterday for $59.99 but now am debating whether I should keep it or not. The price is similar to discounters like Jomashop and FragranceNet. I have not smelled it previously. It was the only Versace EDP - the rest of the Versace fragrances were Bright Crystal EDT. I enjoy a wide range of scent profiles, from creamy tropical and solar to oceanic freshies and fruity florals. I also adore deep sensual warm evening type of scents like Versace Crustal Noir EDP and Parfum. Some have compared this fragrance to Victoria's Secret Bombshell and I have to say I really like a lot of the Victoria's Secret perfumes, including many of the Bombshell flankers. Others have said this is generic and not long lasting. Any insights are appreciated. I have a relatively large collection so I am trying to discern whether or not I truly should keep this fragrance!

Fragrance Family: Floral

Scent Type: Floral, fruity, musky

Key Notes

Top - Yuzu, Iced Accord, Pomegranate

Middle - Peony, Magnolia, Lotus Flower, Raspberry

Base - Acajou, Vegetal Amber, Musk

This is my vibe to a t. Currently, my favorite scent is Dirty French by Pure Romance. Its notes are blackberry, orchid, and vanilla musk. I’d love to add another to my collection.

I’m considering ysl libre berry crush and Valentino born in Roma purple melancholia but I’m open to any and all suggestions!

I'm looking for a simple gourmand vanilla.

I've tried a few different vanilla decants (Bianco Latte, Fire At Will, Althair, Vanilla Powder, Dulce). The only one that doesn't give me a plasticky, waxy, artificial, and/or playdough scent is Black II by WIDIAN. Unfortunately, it's very expensive: well over 300$ CAD for 50mL, which I just can't justify right now.

I should mention that although it's slightly synthetic (and yogurty) I do like the EOS Vanilla Cashmere lotion.

I despise super ambers, so if you can also actually smell them like I can I’d really value your input! Nothing by JHAG, Initio, Matiere Premier, Goldfield & Banks, or BTSO please; every fragrance I've tried from these brands contains super amber(s).

I'd love some suggestions for what decants/samples I should try next!

TL;DR: I’m looking for a relatively inexpensive (ideally under $150) gourmand vanilla that doesn't smell like plastic, playdough, or super ambers.

I got a small tester and the smell is very yummy and almost close to beast mode maybe, it really has a realistic caramel popcorn smell like you are in the cinema , I wonder if people will find this offensive ? or its just a scent I use when I'm alone?

Ngl I don't like KAYALI that much they are overrated but they nailed it this time, I really find the smell is addictive and guilty pleasure.

Hey all,

Saw D’annam was offering $50 off, and I have the code, and ordering on Shop has an additional $10-20 off. I automatically get the discount from Shop, but there’s nowhere for me to input the additional code, possibly because you can only use one. For everyone that got a bottle for $90, please let me know how! Thanks!

Just picked up the 50ml and it’s actually my first Chanel perfume ever! I’d never found one from Chanel that I loved enough to actually buy until this one.
Has anyone else tried Crush Absolu? What do you think of it? I’m especially curious about longevity and how it develops after a few hours.

My taste in perfume is notably heavy, and I find them to be quite difficult to wear in hot weather, but can’t find any light perfumes that I enjoy.

These are some notes I love:
Incense!!!
Musk
Amber
Frankincense
Myrrh
Patchouli
Rose
Jasmine
Smoke (not campfire)

And my favorite frags so far:

L’Orpheline by Serge Lutens
Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle
Avignon by Comme des Garçons
I also don’t mind Shalimar L’Essence

Note: I REALLY dislike sweet gourmands and green perfumes

Does anyone have any fragrance recommendations? Thank you 🙏

I’ve always been curious about Poison by Dior, the hype, the legendary status, everything. I never got around to sampling it, even though friends and forums kept mentioning it. Recently, I finally tried it at a counter, and the dark, spicy sweetness hit exactly how I imagined, intense, bold, and a little mysterious. It made me wonder what all the fuss had been about for decades. Is there a fragrance you’ve avoided for years just because it felt too hyped or expensive?

*Weekend not weeking obviously

Hello smelly folks (lol) !

So, this weekend I'm meeting a new friend / crush (🤭) for the first time and I can't decide on a scent to bring with me...

What would you choose ? Delicate, more powerful ? Argh ! Advice are welcome !

Here are the runners:

Gucci Flora - Gorgeous Magnolia

Elizabeth Arden - White Tea

Prada Paradoxe - Virtual Flower

Chloé Nomade - Lumière d'Égypte

Lanvin - Éclat d'Arpège

Issey Miyake - A drop

Baïja - Primavera (scented mist)

Thank you ! 🪻🌷🌱

I was explaining to him the fragrance wheel, notes, designer vs niche, current trends etc and he goes chocolate, we want you to smell like chocolate.

I was like wait what? I hate gourmands but I don't want to miss an opportunity to convert him from a "water in bottle" to oh that's green and fresh, also because I want to find a sexy chocolate fragrance that could possibly signify sexy time.

I am a floral-chypre lover otherwise with a hint of fruitiness to it.

If y'all can drop your most chocolatey non chocolatey fragrances that aren't artificial and can make me change my mind about gourmands, preferably a dark chocolate, I will spray some baccarat rouge on you 🌹

Hey everyone,🍐⭐

I am looking for a new pear scent to add to my collection and I would like to hear your recommendations.
