Favourite perfumes #3

[Hope96]

Anyone I’ve seen said it was very generic. And then the fake oooh and aaahing of people on her PR list but maybe I’m just cynical to the karjenners.

Don't worry, I am not keen on them either, I think I will give the perfume a miss. I've never bought products from their lines before.

-
Today's scent is Chance by Chanel.

I wish the uk did more travel size perfume. In the States (probably other places) you can get 20-25ml for most perfumes so it’s cheaper and you don’t get bored of the perfume.

I bought Kayali vanilla 28 from Sephora in the states and it’s lush for layering

Anyone else think the name More Sex is cringe?

Absolutely. Grim

Today I'm wearing Lancome La Nuit Tresor

I've order more samples so I thought I'd review here as I go before I forget what they all smell like

Killian- apple brandy on the rocks. Like someone here said, similar to angels share which I actually prefer. It's more apple pie like while this one has this strange manly fragrance to it

Juliette has a gun- not a perfume- hated it before when I smelled in shops as it just smelled like pure alcohol. Well it still does at first but then it smells a bit woody, floral, like iris or something and a bit of pencil shavings
Reminds me of glossier you a lot

Bdk- gris charnel- pure pickle juice. Everyone goes on about santal 33 smelling like pickle juice which I do agree with as I've come to realise this is what sandalwood smells like but this one is just pure pickle juice to me. Lasts a while though!

Amouage- epic woman- reminded me slightly of their lineage fragrance, bit of green fragrance at first but then just pure old lady. Chanel no 5 vibes

Maison margiela- under the stars- rank. Smells like your stuff if you spent a night next to a bonfire. I hate that smell so much. Not sure if this is their most rank smell or jazz club is. Probably jazz club to be fair

A few more to test. On the bright side, I'm not tempted to buy any full bottles

I’ve only got Stella nude.

How bad is it? Rough figures lol

Maybe 150 plus. And yes that’s years of collecting and gifts.

This thread is seriously bad for my spending

 

[unfinishedsentenc]

Today I wore this, which was gifted to me recently. Lovely and nothing like I have ever worn before. I do love Diptique. Can't go wrong IMO.

 

[unfinishedsentenc]

Today I'm wearing IMO one of the most affordable and beautiful spring scents by Zara. They really do the most wonderful fragrances for everyone's bank account.

I'm completely obsessed with Lattafa Khamrah, thanks to tik tok. I want to eat it and bathe in it. It's potentially quite potent for bystanders but I don't care, I want to drown in it like a drunken rum and raisin caramel apple pie.

Quite glad it’s not just me spending on new perfume . I have bought quite a few new smells this weekend

Isn’t it always the ones you hate that have the strongest lasting power

I don't think it's an accident expression like 'hanging around like a bad smell' exists haha

My sample of Lira Xerjoff came today and the dry down smells of stale pissy nappy on me . Does not go with my skin chemistry at all

 

[evie1975]

I took a wander back in time to raving in the 90s, a small spray of Samsara

Need a new scent
I haven’t tried these but which one would you recommend?
Glossier you
Delina
Halfeti ?
Any comment good or bad ? Please help me choose ..thank you

Can help with these - I have all three .

glossier - you . Most affordable of the 3. Terrible performance wise . Also think it’s better suited to spring. It’s quite a light peppery/f

Delina - think plummy rich sweet fruity rose. Not sure how old you are but this ( for me - I am 45) is aimed at a younger demographic. Absolute powerhouse performance wise . Lasts a good 12+ hours ( you will def be smelling it the following day). If you want something very similar you could try atomic rose - initio Parfum. Similar sort of price . Equally as good performance wise but for me is a more “ grown up version “.

Halfeti - This is perfect for cooler weather. It’s a really hard perfume to describe - it’s woody / cedary type of smell but really lovely. Another powerhouse performance wise .

I wouldn’t blind buy any of them - the latter two because of cost and glossier - coz I just don’t think the cost of worth taking a punt.

I would suggest you get samples and try them, they're too expensive to blind buy imo. I haven't tried halfeti. I like glossier and delina. Glossier doesn't really last, it's more of a skin scent. Delina is strong, long lasting and projects a lot so just depends what you're looking for

I agree with mamacita - buy a sample before spending in a full bottle .

ETA - I would try small aromas . They have a great selection of samples . I am pretty sure they do all the perfumes mentioned .

I tried my cheapos. The tesori green tea has very clean bathroom vibes, I’d say okay for freshening up on the go, it’s a metal bottle and won’t break in a bag. The tesori Thai spa one I’m not sure I like really, it’s kind of masculine, herbal but will be okay as bathroom air freshener, and the tesori vanilla is a very dry feeling vanilla scent. I like the vanilla best.
The orange fizz by berdous is lovely, loads in common with neroli portofino on the fragrantica scent profile but a more orange forward scent. Lempicka le petit has a clean soap and sugared almond scent. Very light, as aimed at kids but still nice.

I have been trialling the Narciso Rodriguez nude musc. I really like it - it’s quite a powdery musc. Despite liking it I don’t think it’s worth the price tag as it only lasted a couple of hours max.

 

[BBC1HD]

Just had a sample arrive - Dolce Garden . Usually dislike coconut fragrances but this smells so good.

Are the other ones any good?

 

[Crumpet41]

My fragrance of the day is one of my absolute favourites
Narciso Rodriguez for her

There is a new Narciso Rodriguez fragrance out at the moment called Musc Nude for her. I had a smell today ( on a test paper) and loved it. To me it smelled of powdery musk and roses .

I’d offer to set up a support group but I am afraid I would be an enabler
