All great scents but very different profiles. Definitely try them all out first. Perfums de Marly do a sample set on their website and you get the price back off a full size bottle so that might be a way to try out Delina as not everywhere carries it.

Jessica Taylor Exposed - Her company WhatsApp group spoke about posting poo to a CSA survivor and threatened employees with taking everything they owned if they whistleblew. The not-a-medical-doctor refused to give any evidence for any of her claims and has an extensive history of falsely reporting vulnerable women that speak up to the police for stalking and harassment.

Thanks for your reply, I’ll take a look at it now..
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 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 .
Attempted for the 7th or 8th time this weekend to go to boots to have a whiff of some of the Kayali fragrances (have had my eye on the pistachio gelato since it released) and shock horror all of the sample perfumes were empty again. When I asked a staff member why these ones in particular are always empty she said they don't replace the kayali ones as there are young children that come in after school and waste them
The testers in my local Boots are locked away for that reason
This might explain why this happens in my local boots too. I have noticed that bottles are usually locked in a display ( rather than attached to a cable to stop thieves) . It’s annoying when I want to pick up the bottle and I can’t - quite often I want to sniff first before I think about spraying.
Haven’t tried Glossier. I have Delina and it’s stunning - I receive compliments every time I wear it. Just a beautiful, feminine fragrance that lasts and projects so well. Well worth the money.
I tried Halfeti and didn’t rate it. More masculine in my opinion and didn’t last well for me.
decided I'm on a no buying of perfume for the remainder of 2024 ( which isnt that long really ).
This is so i can start using up my many samples I have purchased ( and subscription buys) over course of 2024. I have so many now and I feel guilty for having so many ( and for succumbing to consumerism) . So that's the plan . No buying new perfume (even though id really like to buy Kilian - Apple Brandy on the rocks) .

I ran the iron over a hoody I hadn't worn since Spring this morning and the fabulous scent of vanilla hit me - I think it must have been a Lolita Lempicka 30ml I picked up on holiday last year.
For anyone still craving the "you smell like sugar cookies" comments, I believe it was called Lolitaland.

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 love suite 302 from V Beckham
Re the others - is a specific note that is having this effect? I have a similar thing happen to me but cant identify the cause... i initially thought it was white florals but then after trying other perfumes with white floral in i realised it wasnt white floral. I then thought it maybe iris that smells soapy on me but again i have tried other perfumes with iris as a main note in and not had the same effect.
So this has left thinking it maybe how the perfume is created that sometimes creates the soapy smell? latest example is BDK - 312 saint honore. Absolutely honks on me and had to wash it off . But weirdly the notes are really similar to Ella K - Musc K and Room 1015 - Sonic Flower ( both of which are on a want/buy list)...

it could also be the particular ingredient that is used. maybe some iris notes are fine but other have a slightly different formula which my skin doesnt like?
I am probably overthinking this..

I went to the hairdressers yesterday and they have a row of Jo Malone hand lotions on the counter, so I tried the Pomegranate Noir one. I washed my hands about 6 times in the coming hours and still couldn't get rid of the smell which by this stage was making me feel really queasy. It's a very heavy scent to say the least.
Why does perfume that you don't like hang round like a bad smell and ones you love go pouff and evaporate

oooh had a similar experience with pomegrante noir - smells lovely from a bottle. Sprayed it on me and it was horrific. It was very toilet cleaner on me and same.

One spray of Tobacco Vanille in my bedroom lingered for days, I cant imagine it on my skin.I went to the hairdressers yesterday and they have a row of Jo Malone hand lotions on the counter, so I tried the Pomegranate Noir one.

Wearing kerosene unknown pleasure today (sample) and wondering if anyone knows of a cheaper alternative or dupe? It’s a sweet lemony vanilla gourmand, I’ve tried d&g devotion and lira which are meant to be similar but both aren’t sweet enough for my taste 
Akro bake? Never tried it thoughWearing kerosene unknown pleasure today (sample) and wondering if anyone knows of a cheaper alternative or dupe? It’s a sweet lemony vanilla gourmand, I’ve tried d&g devotion and lira which are meant to be similar but both aren’t sweet enough for my taste
I got a sample of the Victoria Beckham San Ysidro Drive which I finally got around to trying today. It was actually really nice and clean smelling so I looked up the price thinking it might be nice to treat myself sometime. £170! Maybe I might have to wait a while.
It's worth the money, I have grown to like it more and more and have had several people ask what I'm wearing. The bottles look good too! I can spray a tiny amount and still smell it on myself 8 hours later.
I was influenced into buying Bravi by Thameen. It has a citrusy gourmand scent; unisex - more on the sweet side. Love it; staying power appears good.
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
