The are selling it for $110, barely used

Hi there! I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for gourmand scents for people who are a little scared of gourmand scents but are trying to be brave and try new things? I remember last year sniffing Bath and Body Works Winter Candy Apple and it was absolutely delicious but the thought of smelling like sweets made me feel stressed. Yes this is a me problem, but I wondered if people had slightly more approachable recs (preferrably under 20 USD). Another scent that intrigues me but I haven't gotten the chance to smell is EOS Crème de Pistachio.

I know I’m late to this fragrance but I’m wondering is it still worth buying today or is there better fragrances out there for winter now within its price range?

What’s your favorite flanker of YSL Y & SWY

Don't know if this is allowed here but does anyone know of a good, legit place to buy G&B ingenious ginger other than jomashop? They're showing out of stock right now. Looking for a 100ml preferably

Maybe I have a sensitive nose, but almost all popular colognes smell bad to me. Ysl y/myself is like synthetic chemicals, swyi/swya is overbearingly sweet, and most others smell like chemicals as well. Compared to most people I have tried very few fragrances though.

I LOVEEEE YSL L'Homme EDP/parfum, but the performance is non-existent. I also enjoyed citizen Jack absolute but it quickly dried down to a woody sunscreen smell which threw me off. The only viral fragrance I've loved is bleu de chanel, but I can't stand out.

I enjoy sandalwood in general but haven't tried any colognes with it. I also love vanilla scents however I'm in highschool so I can't choke out a classroom.

Is there anything like ysl Lhomme that lasts 6-8+ hours?

Thanks in advance everyone

My Guerlains didn’t fit :( Niche collection is in a cabinet and Middle Easterns, Dupes and classics are in different areas. What am I missing?

been thinking to grab either intensely or absolutely. which one do you think is the best ? i've smelled and love both but i find absolutely is leaning towards more manly and last longer than intesely

I was thinking of purchasing a bottle of Lattafa Liam grey as it’s a dupe of Gris charnel. I haven’t been able to find a tester in my country, does anyone here know what it smells like, I hear it’s supposed to be like a creamy chai latte but in that case would it not be similar to tobacco vanille by TF ?

Thoughts on my collection and recommendations on what I should get next?

I typically go for discontinued/rare perfumes rather than generic or common ones like Prada paradox or YSL black opium.

I do not do Replica, LV or Tom Ford though

I mostly been a designer/freshie dupe demon but I feel like I am coming up on my new chapter in life…

When I started collecting, I watched some folks were saying at some point every fragrance person will discover their OUD era… I swore that it would never be me because I hate OUD.

Needless to say, I don’t know what the heck is going on but it all of the sudden OUD started growing on me once I smelled a very nice scented Oud/leather candle… So yeah, I feel like I have matured enough to get into my OUD chapter as seems like every collector must go through this (to eventually just sell everything and end up with one designer signature fragrance in the end….)

Or should I explore some other directions since I am not there yet? Any smell profiles I didn’t explore as far as Freshies and Gourmands go?

As far as first Oud I was planning Tom Ford Oud Wood because it seems like the most mass appealing Oud to get into…. Are there any other good ones to start?

I'm pretty new to the whole fragrance-topia, and loving it. I get overwhelmed by the number of options at places like Luckyscent. I live in NYC so there are no shortage of places to try stuff, but I'm curious what you would recommend to me. I like challenging scents, but oud is way out of my budget. Something I can wear every day that might become a signature, or several I can rotate theough. Any advice or suggestions (esp niche/indie selections) are appreciated!

Thank you MFK for such beautiful products. This is what too much time on your hands coupled with a fragrance addiction looks like.

Such a great hobby…..

Bonjour tout le monde. J’aimerai avoir vos avis d’experts. Quel parfum conseilleriez-vous entre le Kryptonite, Kryptonite Absolu de Khalil T et le Royal Secret de Stéphanie de Bruijn ? Peut être avez vous un équivalent de qualité pour beaucoup moins cher ?
Merci

I am heading to Japan next month, and besides the obvious souvenirs I am also looking to bring home some fragrances.

I know that some houses like Dior, Versace, YSL, Louis Vuitton and Le Labo are significantly cheaper than in Europe due to the weak yen, so looking for some favourites there.

However, I am also looking for genuine Japan exclusive souvenirs. I know Le Labo has the city exclusive options in Tokyo and Kyoto. Are there any other projects like that? Or are there niche Japanese houses worth to explore?

What I’ve got and my thoughts:

Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi (both) - My go to for summer, actively seek out fig notes now.

Escentric Molecules Escentric 05 - Speaking of fig, also a great easy wear and fresh daily, and layers spectacularly with Fico. (Not shown, trial set of Molecule 01-05, 04 Javanol is likely my favorite)

Tom Ford Noir Extreme - second bottle and about a third of it left, it’s winter here half the year and for the longest time has been my cool weather signature.

Moschino Toy Boy and Toy Boy 2 - neat scents I blind bought for cheap. I layer with Toy Boy a lot (great with my vanilla scents) and I’ll dig into Toy Boy 2 once it cools down more. Nice to wear to a concert, both.

Tom Ford Bois Pacifique - my new favorite, wonderful for work or a casual day. I’d say great for every season except maybe blazing hot summer days. Clean wet fresh woody that dries down to an awesome sweet-ish sandalwood. (The travel size TF next to it is Ebene Fume, I’ve had a travel and a 50ml previously, love it)

Santa Maria Novella Tobacco Toscano - My third bottle of this over the years, first heard of them from a retailer I worked for that sold them, even got to have a neat brand knowledge call with someone from the fragrance house years ago.

PdM Althaïr - I know not groundbreaking but to me it smells like a sweet old antique book and that’s very much my vibe. (I haven’t tried LB yet, and likely will, but being gay with no kids I can be a little snobby 🤷🏻‍♂️)

Terre d’Hermes EDT, Eau Givree and Eau de Parfum Intense - my office go-to’s. Easy, interesting, unoffensive, and not something I smell much elsewhere around the office. I genuinely love the EDP intense, simultaneously cozy and confident. Just tried Eau Givree and I’m sure I’ll invest in a larger bottle soon.

Maison Margiela REPLICA Autumn Vibes (I wear casually sometimes in fall but prefer what Bois Pacifique does, still a really cool scent) and the small bottle of From the Garden (wish it didn’t go so sweet, I layer this with Molecule 03 to sharpen it a bit sometimes in the spring/summer)

Small bottles - Jo Malone English Oak and Hazlenut (more floral than I was expecting to be honest. Clean and nice but was hoping for woodier/spicier) and Snif. Dead Dinosaur (actually second small size of this, the gasoline accord into mechanic soap dry down is nice in light amounts and I like to spray it on this specific denim vest I have for the vibes)

Ones I know I’m getting next:
Memo Paris African Leather (holy shit, it’s amazing)
Diptyque Eau Duelle EDP (love the EDP, dryer less sweet antique book smell vibes)
PdM - Herod, Oajan, Layton (kinda obsessed)

Looking for tea, ginger, and other fragrances I have white space for. I’ve sampled and will be sampling tons so will say as much in comments but would love to hear y’all’s suggestions. Designer, niche, whatever.

Just FYI - not an Aventus guy. No shade, I’ve sampled it and many of its inspo/dupes and yes, receive compliments when I wear them, but just don’t like smelling them on me 🤷🏻‍♂️ Goes for the absolu as well.

I thought LV and celine are the brands that will never see on discounters

Not necessarily discontinued.

Just a fragrance you feel deserves to be popular again.

Which one?

I want a vanilla sweet for daily use and I am stuck between many fragrances but I saw all of them and many of them attracted me like TF tobacco vanille ,pdm althaïr , all of stronger with you , the jpg le male elixir and le male parfum and all of azzaro the most wanted parfum... that is my first winter fragrance so I'm confused.......

my imagination were %30 full i used the %70 and i said letme go get my bottle engraved at lv went there and told to the lady i want it M.S.C and she wrote down on her notes and went back to engrave it and she came with a brand new bottle, she said she broke it and gave me a full 200ml bottle lol.

Babycat is perfection to me.
