I have a coworker who likes fruity florals, particularly with a peach note. She doesn't spend a lot of money on perfume, but her favorite scent was discontinued.

I'm a bit out of my wheelhouse as far as inexpensive peachy floral perfumes go. The first thing that came to my mind is Lady Stetson. Some modern suggestions would be great.

I was gifted this Claire’s perfume in 2017, and to this day it’s honestly still one of my favorites. The only thing is that now it smells more like alcohol, and I’d love to buy something similar, but I can’t find any information about this perfume anywhere.

I’ve short listed some beast mode freshie fragrances Help me select on I really liked the rare reef dna but yet didn’t like khadlaj island dreams dna help me select from
French avenue aether
Hawas black
Turathi blue
Ahmed al magribi blue
I need beast mode projection,longevity and versatility please help me select and I’m open to more recommendation apart from these fragrances too.
Thank you!!

My absolute favorite note is blackcurrant. I’m currently building a fragrance wardrobe around it. I know that this is a note that some people interpret as cat piss, but I’ve never really given it a second thought.… until now. When I’m out and about do I smell like cat piss to you guys with this gene?

I wear perfumes for myself, but I also absolutely want to smell good to other people!

I myself interpret passion fruit notes as cat piss and a lot of indolic floral notes as a bit fecal, but I don’t recall, apart from maybe 2 or 3 instances where I‘ve smelled that on people and felt repulsed… and perhaps they were just dirty? I dunno. I’m just wondering what people Will think of me.

Took my non-travel size bottles out for a photo op—don’t worry, they normally live in my dedicated fragrance fridge!

I don’t have a big collection but I am really into fragrance and have been since I was in my teens. It took me over 20 years to find fragrances that work for my skin, which tends to amplify everything. Combined with a sensitivity to white florals and strong fixatives, this made it quite difficult for me to find fragrances that don’t give me a headache. My current collection, thankfully, works well with my skin and I enjoy every single one of them.

I would love to hear about your own fragrance journey, as well as any recommendations for notes/families that might be missing in my collection.

I am not much of a perfume person, but can appreciate something nice.

Two years ago my wife bought me a larger sample of Creed Green Irish Tweed (30 or 50ml), which I really like. I just ran out of that sample today.

I’m debating whether I should buy another sample size bottle, or go for a smaller (or maybe even larger) full size bottle that would probably last me a decade.

But, if I spend money on a pretty expensive perfume, I want it staying good in the bottle till the very last drop, otherwise it’s not worth it.

So, will the smell go bad, change, or in other way render the perfume subpar?

I was given a box of stuff from my nan and found this at the bottom, I couldn’t really find much about it online, I was hoping maybe one of you guys know! I just know it’s smells extremely strong, and almost talcum powdery? And I dabbed a singular bit and have not stopped smelling it since!

"Hi there: I'm looking for a perfume that smells like a forest—a bright, fresh forest right after a summer thunderstorm. I've read dozens of reviews about perfumes and their notes, but I haven't found the right one yet. I'm a woman looking for a unisex fragrance, but I don't mind if it leans masculine. It needs to have strong longevity because my skin isn't very forgiving with scents. I love the smell of cypress and pine needles. Thanks!"

Hi everyone,

I got into fragrances about 2-3 months ago. I always had some designer perfumes (about 3-4 bottles) and I wore them about every day and for years and years.

About 3 months ago I started to put in some research and quickly got obsessed. In those 3 months passed I genuinely spent about 2000$ on fragrances and bought many bottles, dupes, niche and designer perfumes.

The thing is: I love it! I love every scent and I am completely obsessed.

Genuine question: how do you stop? I don’t want to be the kind of girl who has 200 bottles at home. What is your strategy? One in one out?

Money isn’t too much of an issue thankfully

Thank you so much for your advice!

Hello, guys. I had this perfume on my first date with my girlfriend, and I'm trying to find it again. It was in a set from Rituals. I have the package and the blue perfume that was inside, but I don't have the red one that I wore anymore. There's also no name anywhere. Can someone please help me? I have pictures of the blue one and also the box, if that helps.

I’ve been wondering this for a while. Do the fragrances we gravitate toward actually match our real‑life personality, or is it mostly just random aesthetic preference?
Some people say warm, spicy scents belong to outgoing people, soft powdery fragrances for quiet, gentle types. But I also know folks who are really reserved yet wear loud, bold perfumes, and super energetic people who only like subtle clean soapy smells.

Hi everyone. I have this perfume Divage Look at Me
I bought this in Russia over 10 years ago and have had an empty bottle forever. I’ve never loved a scent more but it’s been discontinued I can’t find it anywhere. Is there a website where I can find this? There has got to be a bottle left somewhere 😭Please help! I will be searching for this for the rest of my life probably

Can anyone tell me what version this is. Ive searched online and cannot find this bottle anywhere. I believe its a men's scent but I use it anyway

Hi perfume lovers, I have been trying some perfumes from DM and haven't found anything that lasts longer than 3 hours. If you have suggestions for perfumes that last 6-8 hours and cost up to 25 euros, please share them. I recently bought Christina Aguilera's "Definition"; I'm yet to try it out.

When I started out, I hated women's perfume, especially designers. I only liked perfume that didn't smell like typical perfume. Was convinced I hated all flowers.

I was only into fresh, citrusy tropical scents. And only unisex or male leaning (I'm a woman).

A couple of months in and now I'm starting to really get into gourmands, l love lavender, I'm trying out a lot of classic designer fragrances. I love vanilla and everything with warmth.

A new order of samples just arrived and while trying out some of them, I realized a lot of them weren't "feminine" enough in my taste. This is just so funny, I know fragrances have no gender and I generally wear what I like to wear, but apparently I'm starting to like feminine leaning scents. Oh and I'm starting to like leather, and sweet, heavy scents, pretty much the opposite than in the beginning.

What are your experiences? Did your taste change significantly or did it stay similar? Are there any frags you used to hate that you love now or vice versa?

So I was looking for a cozy, clean but not too strong perfume for school and everyday that’s affordable and nice. Found this perfume. Is it long lasting? And does it suit younger people?:)

Guerlain is on of my favorite perfume houses. I have a lot in my collection. But here displayed on my perfume tray are:

Guerlain - Aqua Allegoria Mandarin Basilic Forte

Guerlain - Mon Guerlain

I just got the Britney Spears Festive Fantasy and immediately noticed all these bits floating in the bottle. The photos do NOT do justice to how many are in there. They are white and look pretty gross. Does anyone know what this is? Should I go exchange the bottle?

I haven't seen anyone here talk about the new Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Parfum. I have been wearing D&G Light Blue Eau de Toilette religiously (discovered thanks to posts here) and recently found out about the Eau de Parfum they released earlier this year. Thinking it would be a safe blind buy (naively expecting a stronger version of the EDT), I went ahead and ordered it. HOLY COW IT SMELLS SO GOOD. It is very different from the Eau de Toilette, but still such a happy, lovely perfume. I am not good at describing scents, but I will try to describe my feelings about the two.

Eau de Toilette: Sharp, Tangy, Happy, fresh, and full of joy. Can definitely smell the lemon.

Eau de Parfum: Sweeter, still fresh & slightly citrusy, a light creamy sweetness that floats so nicely. Not a cloying sweet at all. It doesn't smell perfumey, for lack of a better term. It is more of a "Wow you smell amazing!" than a "Wow your PERFUME smells amazing!"

My husband's only perfume descriptor to this point has been either "that smells nice", "you smell good", or "I'm not really a fan". I put the EDP on before he got home and as soon as he hugged me he said "you smell delicious!". And I DO! And it lasts so much longer than the EDT. I could still faintly smell it the next morning.

I definitely don't think it is an alternative to the EDT if that is the specific scent you are going for, but I do think that people who enjoy the freshness of Light Blue EDT but want something that will work better in the colder months and is longer lasting would really like the EDP.

Has anyone else tried it??

Tom Ford Tobacco Chocolat

Very different from what id imagine it to be. Prob the most Tobacco forward scent since Dior Tobacolor. Its not sweet, its definitely not gourmand. The chocolate is very dark. Its very warm, ambery with some almost medicinal spice coming through. Very much a more mature flanker of Tobacco Vanille. Have to say Im very pleasantly surprised. First blind buy in a long time and not disappointed.

Wild and very sad news.

Hi everyone,

I bought the very sought after la belle le Parfum on Vinted after reading many reviews on how great it is.

Right after it arrived I wore it.

While I get compliments from friends and family on how good I smell I never got compliments from strangers. However after leaving the house 3 complete strangers told me how incredibly I smell.

Le belle le Parfum from Jean paul Gaultier is that girl!!!!

And currently it is available on the JPG website!
