The OG? There are so many lovely flankers for it too. I think supreme is my favourite. it’s very sexy. Really gorgeous Tonka bean note.
Yes I got the og. I tried the blush but wasn't that keen on the scent on my skin. It smelt gorgeous on the tester strip though. My partner wears bad boy and I really like that.

Does anyone have any reccomendations, I want a perfume that's a bit spicy I guess, nothing wild but something a bit spicy if that makes sense? I feel like a lot of my perfumes are fruity or floral and for winter I want to sway away from that but I have 0 clue where to start.

I like ebony wood by Zara. For me that has a spicy note

How about the copy of Santal 33? I think it’s called warmth ( from marks and Spencer ). Costs around £15.

There are quite a few marks and Spencer perfumes that are nice and really good value. I def recommend having a sniff of them if you have a marks and Spencer near you :)

You could also try the fragrance shop subscription ( which is £12 a month) and test some spicy perfumes out?

Ooo I always look at the m&s ones but never try them! I'll have a go when I pop in next

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 👌

I agree! I remember when most brands did 30ml sizes, and I’d choose that over a 50ml more often than not. Now you can’t get some fragrances in anything other than 100ml (looking at you, Liberty).

Diptyque do a nice pick-your-own set of 5 x 10ml slim bottles which are brilliant for travel. I also have a Jo Loves 10ml permanently in my handbag.

I agree with this too - I would like it if brands offered a smaller option . I bought a sample of Amouage Guidance and Love Delight recently. I love both of them but Amouage only sell 100ml bottles - both are eye watering price wise . Because they are both powerhouses you don’t need much at all so 30ml would be a perfect offering.

I just don’t need 100ml - it would be fine if they were the only perfume I owned and wore them on the daily but i don’t. I am a perfume obsessive 🥴and have many in my collection which I like to wear too.

Versace crystal noir EDP is quite spicy and creamy, very complex and interesting in my opinion. Worth looking into

Today I tried By The Fireplace - it does what it says! Smell like I have been standing next to a bonfire; don’t like it.
If you like the nutty, sweet, woody part of BTF, try Clinique Cookies and Kisses. The name is a bit misleading because it doesn't smell exactly like cookies, but it's warm and sweet... also what I'm wearing today!

The Middle Eastern dupe Ameer Al Oud Intense is nice and if I remember correctly smells less like actual burnt wood.

Interesting, I don't smell it in that one much and I hate bonfire smell. Just don't try under the stars then, that's full on smoky bonfire 🤣

Today I tried Beach Walk; reminds me of Yankee Candle scent Sun and Sand. I have the Primark dupe - Sandy Beach (I think I prefer the dupe) but nice summer vibes

my perfume parlour copies arrived yesterday, and decided to try the Giardini Di Toscana - Bianco Latte copy. It was hideous on me - it smelt of Mr Sheen furniture polish ( and annoyingly its a really good perfomer). I found it very vanilla dominant ( but the vanilla that youd put into a cake). Not for me.

Today im trying the Valaya (PDM ) and Musk Therapy (initio perfum) as a layering combo. This is much more my cup of tea . On me it is peachy/musky. really nice combo i think:)

it sounds the replica frags are not for you. I have beach Walk and By The Fireplace and really like both. I am hit and miss with the other perfumes. I did like under the lemon tree but shocking performance and really not worth the money.

Has anyone got or tried Aerin Rose Cocoa? Sounds very intriguing.....
No but i did buy Amber Musk from Aerin the other day ( a fleaby purchase ) which is dreamy.

Has anyone smelled the newest Angel?
The fantasm? I got a sample it’s quite nice reminds me of angel innocent that was discontinued x

Previously, I didn't like any of the Marc Jacobs Daisy range but I got a free sample of Daisy Wild at the weekend and I'm obsessed. I'm wondering whether to take the plunge and just buy the full bottle
My current every day is Coeur Azuki by Kenzo but I feel like it just doesn't last.
I got this too, hate all the other daisies and thought this was a nice daytime scent - it seems to last too I’ve seen a 10ml one on look fantastic x

Anybody else bloody bonkers when it comes to going away for 2 whole nights when packing perfume? 😄

Had to pack 3 perfumes didn't I 🥴

In my defense though the Jo Malone one is tiny and well Delina is practically attached to my chest at this stage...
