When did they change it? I bought it for one of the kids ages ago but stocked up on three bottles as I kkkw they love it, but they have had them all now.
From what I can see it was end of 2021 and glossier confirmed it in 2022.

I've got YSL Libre on today and it's choking me, all I can smell!! But I got some on my top as well as my skin and maybe that's why it's lingering so strong. Can't get a waft off my wrists whatsoever .... weird.
 
One of my absolute faves ever that was sadly discontinued was EA White For Her - it was in a white bottle and was a limited edition summer perfume back in the 2000s. Well today my husband got a sample of Creed Original Vetiver and oh my god it smells virtually identical, I nearly cried! I've compared the notes on Fragrantica and they are pretty much the same, Not sure I can run to £150 for a bottle though.

Omg I’ve been looking for something similar to White forever 🥹

Blast from the past! Just seen they still sell the original, I had no idea, I might buy some for bed 😍

Did you check out this website from the Fragantica comments? It’s meant to be a dupe https://eclat.eu/products/eclat-050-rar-inspired-by-emporio-armani-white

What shall I buy this month?

ella k - Musc K - a better version of Glossier You
Kilian - apple brandy on the rocks ( because I enjoy smelling like boozy apples) and autumn is definately around the corner?
 
I got Hiyaati Belle from Fragrance World in the post today.. oh my goodness it's a spot on dupe for Jean Paul La Belle! These things usually get better after a while too so I'm super excited to see how it goes 😃

Kilian apple brandy is gorgeous, have you smelled angels share? It’s like a boozy apple pie and they’re launching a new version with a raspberry note that is intriguing me.

I think I may have but it was quite a while ago so can’t really remember the scent. I had a look at the notes in the apple brandy on the rocks and it has pineapple in. I don’t pick up any pineapple at all.

I decided not to buy either. Plumped for samples instead from Small Aromas. Will be testing :-

Amouage - Guidance
Cirque Du Soleil - L'eau de Parfum
Aerin - Amber Musk
Andrea Maack - Jest

Has anyone tried any of the Shay & Blue scents? I've been interested in them for a while but it seems people either love them or hate them. I've got a gift set coming soon with their Cedarwood and grapefruit and i have high hopes for it as a fresh day scent.
I got their Lilac and Gooseberries one in a small size - smells of absolutely nothing. It’s ridiculous. Have a sample of the Cherry Blossom one and that’s nice.

Today's fragrance , M & S dupe for Le Labo Santal 33 Apothecary Warmth
I’ve got the Apothecary hand cream in Meditation and I love it, warm, spicy.
Sadly they don’t do a fragrance so please can anyone suggest something similiar.
Is Warmth spicy?

Tried a few fragrances out and about this week:

Zara Cashmere Musk: cosy, fun warm vanilla ice cream/popcorn gourmand. Not the most sophisticated fragrance but who cares when it's this adorable.

Kerosene Followed: PSA - super super suuuuuper strong with huge sillage. Unfortunately for me, it smells like celery. Impossible to scrub off. And that celery smell has taken over everywhere I went on that day to the point I feel like I should fumigate my entire home. I'm pretty sure in 500 years when they dig me up there'll still be whispers of that tiny dab I put on my wrist. 🙃

Maison...Kurkdjian Baccarat 540: I've been told that for some people this just works beautifully while on others it just doesn't. Disappointingly, I'm the latter. Just smelt metallic on me. ☹

Miller Harris Violet Ida: more iris than violet, and quite medicinal, but it dries down to a gorgeous balsamic amber like OG CK Obsession.

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 🤣
