Favourite perfumes #2

[ishant]

No, only winter 21. I forgot I had it - just tried it out, it's very herbal and a bit lemony and a bit like Vicks vaporub hahah.

Ha ha I have this one! I still use it from time to time. Autumn 2021 was my fav though. Only use it sparingly. I read the description of autumn 2023 and it sounds right up my nose

Hoping this isn't a derail but I'm trying to find the old man an aftershave for Christmas. Anyone have any suggestions? I really like Tom Ford Vanille Tobacco but not sure if it's too unisex for him, and it's fudging expensive!! Or do I get it so I can share... hmmm. The other one was the Leather Ombre but I'm not sure about that reading reviews.

He's had Chanel Bleu in the past, Eau Savage, Creed Viking and Tom Ford Noir.

It was one of my favs too, I keep thinking of grapefruit smell. But according to the list it doesn’t smell of that. This should also say what perfumes are similar https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Yves-Saint-Laurent/Baby-Doll-99.html

It had a sweet sharpness along the lines of grapefruit I think, maybe a bit smoother if that makes sense!

You can sign up for their 'ledger' - you usually get let in in a week or so, order it and leave again.

I just bought some Givenchy L’Accord Particular. I have some already, it’s my special occasion perfume- I’ve had my current bottle about 2 years or so and it’s still going strong but it’s v v expensive- and the only place I’ve seen it is in Harrods.
£220 but it is very lovely and lasts ages.

Does anyone own any Van Cleef and Arpels? I recently bought Bois Dore and absolutely love it and would be keen to hear what other people think of the rest of their range

My partner’s mum has asked to surprise her with a perfume for Christmas. She likes powdery, floral scents - I have no idea what to go for! Can anyone recommend any safe options? Feeling very overwhelmed by all the Black Friday sales

Narciso Rodriguez Poudree?

Just saw lush have released some new perfumes, just ordered Tender is the Night! I had the massage bar years ago and it's so so good

Oh I was hoping to get the Sticky Dates spray but it's already sold out!

Who remembers wearing Dewberry from The Body Shop





Aaw my nan used to wear Far Away (Avon)

My mum used to wear the original so I have fond memories of the scent. The newer ones are much more younger though.

I remember Dewberry though I was more into So? and Exclamation. I had a bottle of Chloe Narcisse and felt like the fanciest schoolgirl.

I love Marks and Spencer New York, lovely for daytime and lasts all day..

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Jo malone never last one me. Neither do Jo Loves, which is a shame because I love the pomelo one.

Yes I’ve signed up again (love rose!!) but they’re already sending the winter 23 out x

I rediscovered a sample of Diptyque Eau Duelle and with autumn on the way... I want it! Oh why couldn't I rediscover it before they raised the price to £148 for 75ml?

It was always pricey but i think it was £110 or £120 before.

I still would have had to really think about it, but it'd be a less expensive consideration.

It's very unlikely that I'll get it, sadly.

I tried Ffern and loved the first one I had, but hadn't really used all of it when the next arrived and it was so similar that I didn't bother keeping it. I removed myself from the ledger at that point.

 

[Hertfordshiregirl]

Just got into Jo Malone myrhh and tonka is unreal.

this and scarlet poppy are my favourite

 

[Onepotatotwopotato]

Anyone else smelt sol De Janerio 71 body spray?

 

[Wanttoseethescreenshots]

I work on fragrance and so many people ask for it! It’s so strange

Ah really? Yeah it was so lovely and I always had so many compliments on it! I thought it was strange I couldn’t find it last year then found it had been discontinued!

It’s still in Superdrug and online


Than you I will have a look thanks again!

 

[Mamacita]

True, but it’s all branding. Some perfumes are very expensive. This one is on my wishlist but it’ll be the most expensive perfume I own. I don’t know if I can justify that

I’m looking into zara perfumes too, their oud collection looks good

Amouage guidance really reminds me of Versace crystal noir, I think it's just me though but I think it's so similar

 

[Tumbleweed]

Midnight Fantasy is a gorgeous fragrance, so fruity fresh and not as overly sweet at Fantasy. Fantasy is nice though.

Thank you . I'll have a look at those

 

[Oohthedrama]

I want a good dupe.
most people recommend Aldi but I just couldn’t get with the smells of them, I like some lidl ones, but know of no others…

anyone have any other recommendations? I really want to find something like V&R flower bomb
