just discovered M&S White Coconut - the perfect holiday perfume imo
I got this today, and the Warm Neroli one. They both smell like summer.

I tried the Provenance Under the Palm Trees in store too, also very summery and £15 for 100ml EDP

I did have the original Chance many moons ago but I love this one more..

I received a sample of Gentle Fluidity with my order and oh my. The most stunning scent I’ve ever smelt. It has notes of nutmeg, vanilla, juniper berries, amber woods and coriander seeds 🤤

Sounds delicious 🤤💓 what perfume did you order? I’ve tried a la rose by MFK and it was nothing special imo, just a true rose scent, no depth :( I bought Parfums de marly La rosée instead

I tried a sample of Alexander Mcqueen yesterday. I liked it and couldn't put my finger on the first notes so looked them up. Clove was mentioned. I rather liked it but looks like its discontinued.

I bought Vanilla Woods by Seven Virtues and it is identical to Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 40 (thank you fragrantica). Very like Michael Kors midnight shimmer which I was looking for originally as the fragrance to use with the 40 spray and cream.
Also been looooving JPG La Belle again. I've been using it with Superdrugs Layering Lab 'Sweetie' and its very similar and delicious.

I went into a PDM store last week when I visited London and tried the La Rosee. It reminded me of a lighter version of Delina. I really liked the fragrance and it’s now on my want list 😂.
I also had a sniff of the Valerya (I think?) which is completely different to delina. I found it to be really clean musk scent. Also really lovely .

I bought 3 Zara perfumes recently -

Cherry Smoothie - a dupe of Tom Ford Lost Cherry . I think the Zara version is actually better than TF . Much better performance overall ( I own the TF version as well) . Not much to seperate them other than the Zara version smells a little more Smokey.

Rose Gourmand - this is a knock off of the montale intense cafe ( which I also own and didn’t pick up until I had sprayed). Started off more of a rose note but then changed to a sweet coffee scent. Another great performer.

Hipster Oud - have been on fragantica about this but there wasnt much Information on what it’s a dupe of. I find the scent to be a little spicy which then dries down into a Sandlewood smell.Again another great performer.

all were 30ml for £11.99 each which I think is a really good price .

I also bought maison matine - Hasard Bazar £60 for 50ml from liberty’s. This scent starts off sweet peppery then dries down to a vanilla / rosey smell. Performance wasn’t amazing but I don’t feel like I was ripped off .

I find i enjoy a lot of the Replica perfumes but other than by the fireplace and jazz club I find the majority to be really poor performers and not worth the price tag. Which is a shame as I like bubble Bath, Sunday morning and under the lemon tree.

I like PDM a lot as well and lately Kilian as well. I have three of his perfumes - rolling in love , moonlight in heaven and love don’t be shy.

I haven’t smelled the sweet peony perfume from
Montale - is it nice? I will keep an eye out for it when I next visit London so I can have a smell 🙂

ETA - sorry I am a bit of perfume geek 🥴. I do like niche but I also really like lots of high street perfumes too. I think Zara and M & S have really fab affordable options ( which reminds me -
Marks and Spencer do a dupe of Byredo Sundazed ) which is sunshine in a bottle . I paid £6 for the bottle and I love it.

Kilian love don’t be shy is very very similar to PDM Oriana. I bought Oriana and it dries down incredibly sweet, heavy marshmallow notes 💗

I love sweet peony but feel like it doesn’t last that long. Not quite as bad as Jo malone perfumes but not exactly PDM level. Do kilian perfumes last long? I don’t have any yet :)

Do you find kilian rolling in love lasts on you? I have it and love it but I find the longevity poor.

I bought Jo malone scarlet poppy as I think it’s similar to rolling in love but longevity is also poor but I find it better than rolling in love.
