Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir ❤ I’m such a creature of habit with perfumes, I’ve been wearing this for years.

I can’t bring myself to pay for the genuine candles so I’ve just ordered some more dupes from Etsy, they smell divine 🥰
Aldi have dupes of the candles as well. And they do the hand cream and hand wash in the Jo malone scents.

Has anyone tried the Jo Loves perfumes? Curious how they are compared to JM!

Very similar in terms of scent, but more complex than JM, and I actually think better performance. The paint brushes are a cool concept as well if she still has those out.

I had one of the paintbrushes and it was lovely but sadly the fragrance didn’t last
 
My partner went to Monaco last weekend on business and he brought me back a fresh bottle of Chanel Chance Eau Vive:love::love: I want to be buried in this scent hahaha

I’m a Beauty Drop subscriber too @Crumpet41 and I really love Liberty and its fragrance department 😍 I agree that Wild Rosinda is nothing special. I got Tudor in the advent calendar and liked that better.

Have you received your box yet? If so what did you think? I wasn’t that impressed this time.
 
I received the Victoria Beckham discovery set for Xmas and today decided I would try Portofino 97.

Very heavy on the bergamot . I didn’t dislike the scent but it’s not for me. One thing I will say is that I am impressed with the performance . I sprayed it at 10am this morning and I’m still getting a little whiff now.

So nice perfume but not for me ( although I am tempted to try again when it’s warmer as fragantica says it is a spring /summer perfume.)

Going to try suite 302 tomorrow .

Ps - I also tried Replica Beach Walk the other day as well. Lovely clean smell but I couldn’t smell it after about 10 minutes. I am sad about it as I really like it.

I actually went through my perfume samples the other day and I could smell the VB ones through the packaging. Need to use them soon and see if any are full size worthy.

Hi! I am not really a huge perfume user but I really want to start wearing it more often. I have NO idea where to start (just get overwhelmed when I’m in the shops, also I prefer to shop online which I realise is not ideal for buying perfume lol). Can anyone recommend a place to start? Eg a fragrance tester box or something similar?

I quite like Santal 33 and would prefer something which is unisex - floral/woody rather than spicy. I also bought Malin + Goetz dark rum after loving the shower gel but find it a bit too strong and spicy if that makes sense?

Thank you!!

It's not a tester box per say, but I really love the gift set from Replica by Maison Margiela, you can trial the scents before you buy. There are quite a few more unisex scents!

You can also order individual samples from eg fragrance samples UK, small aromas etc. Just look for the notes you like and order a few.

Fragrantica website/app is good for looking for similar perfumes to ones you like and notes

I am wearing suite 302 today which is a tobacco/rose perfume. The tobacco is present but its not overwhelming and still picking up the rose note as well. Its also still going ( sprayed it around 6.45am ) .

I cant believe im about to say this but the VB perfumes are really well put together and have decent projection/lasting power. I woud consider buying a full size bottle of this. I really like it.

I am looking forward to trying the San Ysidro Drive next.

I find all of the Replica perfumes lack in longevity which is a shame as really nice scents.
