Favourite perfumes #3

[xoxogossip_girl]

Sorry to jump as I know this wasn't replying to mine but I preferred it to Lost Cherry personally but it's all on personal preference

Thank you. I love Lost Cherry so I need to smell this one. As @F1Grid has said the Kayali one is also lovely. A bit more complex than lost Cherry.

I got the vanilla oud from Kayali in the post today and it’s lovely. Mona knows her stuff

Have you guys tried Burberry Her? I got it recently and I love it 🥹 smells like super sweet strawberries

Absolutely love Burberry Her. I've got the elixir one. I'm one of those who douses myself in perfume before bed and I can always smell that particular perfume on my sheets a couple of days later

I recently purchased a couple of Sol de Janerio sprays on Boots because it was 20% off. I'd never tried the brand before and I found the pink one (I think it's number 68) is very similar to Burberry Her!

I've tried so many of the recently popular perfumes in the last couple of years, but they literally smell like washing up powder/ clothes detergent on me, like a basic soapy scent? Glossier You smells like Persil on me,

Has anyone had this problem?

Some of the few that don't change into detergent on my skin are Kayali perfumes, Penhaligons, and now more recently Vicky Beckhams perfumes.

I know it’s popular, but I bought YSL Libre EDP a few days ago because I do like the smell. Everything I’ve read says it’s strong and long lasting, but it seems to disappear after a few hours on me, I swear my skin eats up fragrance Maybe I should have bought the Intense version, but I read one review that said this projects even less and is more of a skin scent. I already have the le parfum version which I would say lasts a bit longer on me than the EDP.

I got that one too recently and thought the same. I bought it because when I used the tester I could still smell it on myself when I was tucked into bed for the night.

I do think I just get nose blind to a scent after using it a couple of times though, and it probably does last. I picked up a jumper from my cupboard and could still smell the perfume on it from a few days ago, so I wouldn't fret.

I’m wearing Ouai Melrose Place and it’s gorgeous!
So fresh smelling

I adore it but it kills my head

Wearing today: Paco Rabanne Fame.

Rotating between Fame, Donna Born in Roma Intense, Cloud (the pink one) and Ouai North Bondi

Got a decant of black opium over red, it's pretty good, more of a sour cherry note and surprisingly long lasting for a black opium

I got a bottle of this a couple of weeks back and LOVE it. However I do feel like it's a very autumnal/wintery perfume so I probably won't use it for long before transferring into my fresher spring ones.

Any recommendations for refillable travel size bottles to keep on the go? I have a couple of atomisers but find they leak a bit. I might try a glass rollerball style one next but reviews can be mixed on those too!

 

[readyplayerson]

Thanks, I have heard good things about that one, not sure if it’s cheaper? Will have a google for price and buy a sample

Quoting myself but I ended up buying a bottle on offer from look fantastic, a sample inc P&p was £10 so I just took a chance and blind bought it! Anyway I absolutely love it, can’t stop sniffing my wrists thanks for the recommendation

 

[EddyDarling]

I also have the intense.

I can smell it on myself after a full day at work

Has anyone tried Zara Moonlight Whisper?

The notes sound similar to the Kayali Pistachio fragrance and looking at some reviews online some people are saying it's a dupe if that's helpful.

I wish I had better luck with Zara fragrances because some of their perfumes have really tempting notes and profiles and lots of people love them, but they all dry down sour on me.

I’ve not long bought a bottle in Superdrug!

Omg really? Thank you! I've searched everywhere but didn't think of there

 

[griftalo]

You have YSL Chsmpagne!! is it still good? Lucky you

Yes it is! It’s the Parfum. I used to have a big bottle of the edt but it’s lost somewhere in my house along with my original l’interdit 1957 extrait

Hin sorry to be thick , but what is a FM fragrance please ?

Federico Mahora- they do dupes of fragrances x

 

[GalaxyGirl70]

I've got La Vie Est Belle eau de toilette on today (found the eau de parfum too much) but I wish I'd put it in my bag as all scent has long gone.

 

[Wellthisisinteresting]

What’s everyone thoughts on Burberry Her elixir? Still haven’t managed to try it
Thanks x

 

[Crumpet41]

I have had on Amuage blossom love ( sample ) today. Pleasant enough. Wouldn’t buy a full bottle.

 

[RandomAlpaca22]

Thank you, I like the idea of this! It’s sold out (so must be good!) I’ll keep my eye on it for when it’s back in stock.

Slightly more expensive but it's in stock on LookFantastic!

My colleague bought me a Maison Margiela Replica Memory Box - 10 2ml samples - nice wee present to go through.

They’re so good. I have quite a few of them but I’m eyeing by the fireplace for autumn. Let us know what your favourites are

Has anyone tried the Saltworks perfumes? It popped up on my Insta so have ordered the discovery set which has 10 of their most popular perfumes to try

Yes. I bought the discovery set a few months ago, it’s lovely. I’ve really enjoyed trying their fragrances and there are several that stand out for me. I’ve still got the £25 voucher, although I’m not sure whether I want to splash out on a full size of anything - but the discovery set is very good value. I hope you enjoy trying them out!
