I have Vanilla 28 which has decent staying power.

Tell you what though - and this may have been obvious to everyone but me - the dark purple juice is a bugger on light coloured clothes. I decided to have a quick spray just as I was leaving the house last week. Brand new white t shirt. Looked down at myself an hour or so later to see tiny splotches all over me. Washed out, thankfully.

Yeah, I know I should spray before getting dressed, but my life usually doesn’t work out like that 😅
Thought we'd got past the staining perfumes Lady Gaga solved that YEARS ago!

I had my Killian Angel Share 'dupes' (Kismet Angel and Lattafa Khamrah)hidden in a drawer over the summer and finally it was cold enough today to bring the beauties out.
Layering them with Fenty Warm cinnamon body butter and sol de janeiro 71. I don't find them overly similar, apparently Kismet is more like the Angel Share. Khamrah is like I've had a bath in baileys cinnamon apple pie filling.

I loved ‘Skinscent for Her’ by New West in my 20s. Obscure and I’m sure discontinued. Smelled like melon!

Been wearing Bright Crystal by Versace for years now and still love it.

They’ve just launched a SDJ 71 body lotion today. Hoping it has a Europe release as they didn’t mention it in their post….

For the price of the Tom ford id get the rose gourmand from Zara. Similar vibes but the Zara actually lasts on the skin. Tom ford notoriously bad performance on certain scents despite the price.
Rose Gourmand is a beast and has fantastic performance for the price. I really like it and yet I’ve never received a single compliment when wearing it, so not sure it’s popular with other people?

I just bought Lattafa Khamrah and I’m a bit disappointed. I love the smell, but I was expecting much better longevity and projection based on reviews I’ve read. Not sure if my skin just eats up perfume! I’m hoping it will get better if I let it macerate.

Oh that might explain my ruined t-shirt...

I like Vanilla 28 and it's one of my favourites. I definitely want to try others.

No way! I have The coffee version (Khamrah Qawha I think it’s called) and it’s SO strong to my nose. I actually have to be careful with it otherwise it makes me feel a bit 🤢 One of those fragrances I’ll spray into the air and walk through, just to distribute it really finely on me!

It’s crazy how fragrance is so different on each person! I can literally spray like 10 sprays of Khamrah and smell nothing an hour later!
 
Having had the bank claw back from an app that charged me after cancellation and my birthday coming up, I treated myself to Roos and Roos Mia Mentha.
it came and smelled slightly weird but soon has gone back to what I expected and what I put on my wrist yesterday afternoon is still there - for a perfume without a huge projection it’s certainly tenacious! I was thinking I’d been really frivolous and wasted my money but it’s good quality thank goodness.

I spray 2 or 3 and im pushing my luck I think. I think after 4 I'd be like a living air wick plug in.

I saw a reel on IG from a perfume influencer on how many seconds sprays she recommends for various perfumes. I was aghast at how many sprays she recommends, she said 40 for Billie Eilish, 25 for Good Girl, can’t remember the rest. No matter what I wear it’s one to two sprays max

That influencer must be walking around with a permanent headache! Either that or her nose has been damaged somehow. Good grief. 40 sprays of anything, let alone a frag as vanilla-woody centric as all of Billie Eilishs line, is too too much and 25 sprays of Good Girl (!!!!) must surely be antisocial behaviour or something. I pity the people who have to work or interact with her.

That's madness.
My sense of smell still hasn't fully recovered after having covid 6 or 8 weeks ago and I'd still find more than 3 or 4 sprays of most scents enough/too much.
Is that just an instahun ensuring she gets lots of comments (engagement is everything) by making outlandish claims?

Who was the influencer please? I follow Jus De Rose and Demi Rawling. Both these recommend 3-4 sprays for a heavier scent ( and there are a couple I do no more than 2 as would be way too much and headache inducing ) and about 5-6 for a lighter scent.

Ps - I also think Good Girl is a pretty potent perfume. There is no way I’d ever spray 25 times 😳

Isn't 40 sprays like 3ml or more? I can literally buy a 1ml sample and use it multiple times, that's crazy.

Good girl is pretty strong! I’d probably want to punch anyone wearing 40 sprays! Before I ran from the stench that is 😂
I used to only wear two sprays max of anything, but I think perfume in general has gotten weaker. Now I sometimes wear 3-4 on skin, but drench myself (well my clothes) if it’s only cologne.
