Favourite perfumes #3

[JE172]

Just ordered CK euphoria for a very bargain price of £35 for 100ml. Such a throwback, it used to be my favourite perfume, I know it's not so popular now but I smelled it in a shop today and I still like it can't go wrong with that price haha

Used to love this and then I think they changed the recipe so it smelled slightly different and just wasn’t the same for me

Yeah I'm not sure if it's the same but it's still similar, will be good for an everyday spray as a nostalgic thing. Now if I could only get Dior midnight poison again

I've heard people say it's very similar to Elle by YSL, and there are always a few of those knocking about on ebay that are usually priced fairly reasonably or at least not as expensive as the last remaining Midnight Poison bottles on the same site.

Marc jacobs - perfect.
my hubby always buys me Marc jacobs but that has to be my favourite

I have been wearing Ghost Orb of Night a lot lately. It used to disappear on me after an hour but it seems to really linger now. Had a lot of compliments on it.

Does anyone have a favourite online shop that does samples? I've been working my way through Fragrance samples uk's catalogue and am yet to find something I would buy a full size of. I'm very picky and have no idea what I like

I've been using Prada Paradox for months and I love it, but I want a few other options in my repertoire. Guchi flora is also my jam but the scent doesn't last so it's not worth a repurchase.

I've heard people say it's very similar to Elle by YSL, and there are always a few of those knocking about on ebay that are usually priced fairly reasonably or at least not as expensive as the last remaining Midnight Poison bottles on the same site.

Pretty sure I heard Elle is discontinued so what’s out there is what’s left! I’ve been stocking up

 

[FagAshLil69]

I got given a bottle of Creed Windflowers and I was so disappointed as it just didn't smell that great on me, but funnily enough I've not touched it for 6 months - am wearing today and it smells completely different. I've no idea why....

My absolute favourite! Lucky you being gifted that. My partner refuses to spend that on perfume.

Has anyone tried the new Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild?

 

[GalaxyGirl70]

I'm very pleased with my VB purchase (San Ysidro). The initial spray is a little overwhelming with a lot of notes all jarring together but the dry down is absolutely glorious. Hoping to talk husband into the Portofino one for my birthday

 

[PiefaceG]

Does anyone have Prada Paradoxe Intense? Does the scent last?

I have a sample but I can't quite decide if it's potent enough.

 

[Bonbon76]

At this point I would swap all my perfumes for those colognes you get for a fiver in the Spanish pharmacy. They're so good!

Blind buy this week: Sweet Tooth. Not as intensely sweet as I expected, there’s a feel of white chocolate dusted with powdered sugar, rather than a syrupy feel. I’ve picked the wrong day for it as it’s humid af here but I like it.

Hi

Perfume reviews that no one asked for :-

Bronze Goddess nuit - tried this in a scent addict subscription and loved it so much I bought a 50ml bottle . This to me is a beachy coconut tropical dreamy perfume. A solid 9/10 . Absolutely love it .

Rouge Malachite - Armani Prive. Have had this on a want list for some time. Selfridges have recently had a sale and spotted this was in the sales. It is usually £290 for 100ml and in the sales it was £185 for 100ml. Needless to say I ran around with glee at my bargain. The frag itself is gorgeous - it’s a creamy white floral. A solid 10/10 for dreaminess.

small aromas samples - ( bought prior to the above two purchases)

Ella K - Musc K . A peppery musk powdery perfume. It’s basically a better version of Glossier You . It’s on a buy list. Really lovely perfume. A solid 9/10 .

Room 1015 - Sonic Flower. - also very similar to glossier you . This is more florals forward. Very pretty and similar to Ella K. It is a great perfume. Another 9/10

Room 1015 - Cherry Punk. Had such high hopes for this but I really disliked it. Started off with a lovely cherry note but the dry down was very astringent / medicinal on me. It was quite unpleasant . Score of 3/10

Atelier De Ors - Blue Madeline. I don’t what to say about this as it lasted about 45 mins before it completely disappeared. Very poor . Score of 1/10.

Born 2 stand out - indecent cherry. Another disappointment . Not as awful Cherry Punk but I didn’t rate it. Started off nice with a nice cherry note but then the dry down smelt off on me. Score of 4/10

Amouage - Love Delight. Absolutely love this . It is a spicy sort of floral. Starts off very floral but then the tonka/ rum ( like a boozy note) comes out. OMG it is divine . I love it. Really love it. Want a bottle but at £330 . This is also an absolute powerhouse - could still smell this the day after spraying. A 10/10 in every way.

Aerin - Hibiscus Palm. Also had high hopes for this but despite it being lovely and tropical the longevity is piss poor. Disappeared on me within 90 mins. The bronze goddess nuit ( although nuit is more coconutty) has similar notes to this perfume but is a better performer and also less money. It’s not worth the price . A disappointing 5/10 ( the 5 is because it really does smell lovely).

 

[Crumpet41]

BDK - Saint Honour 312 ( sample) - fail on me . I don’t get on with Iris ( which I have missed in the notes ). Probably smells lovely but on me it was horrible.

 

[Onepotatotwopotato]

I got a sample of donna born in Roma intense .. was not what i was expecting at all.. almost coconutty ? Like alien goddess

 

[griftalo]

Dug out an oldie this week: Herve Leger (Avon) I love it!
