Anyone else ordered these? Mine came today and I tried Bare, and I really like it. It’s masc leaning/unisex cedar with a vanilla base. I’d definitely wear it again

I tried Jazz Club earlier today; a balanced sweet smoky smell - really like it! Still going strong after 6 hours.

This is what is in the set
I like beach walk and by the fireplace, but hate jazz club 😅
When the rain stops is ok but seems more masculine to me. Others I haven't tried, I would be interested to know what the lemon tree one's like!

Still can't work out how I feel about Glossier You! Some days I really like it but others I get that pencil shavings smell. Glad I didn't get a full size one! Also wish I'd tried the original formulation everyone seems to rave about.
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.

I got 3 samples of Victoria Beckham (those awful card ones with a drop of fragrance under a sticker).

I tried the blue one first, gorgeous. Reminded me of Bal D'afrique but with a sweetness like BR540.

Today I dabbed San Ysidro Drive. I could smell much so I sprayed something else, can't remember.
In work I kept getting wafts of like an old incontinent unwashed lady smell. Rose and stale urine. Very disappointed in my usually pristine colleagues.

Got home and lifted the card out of the bin... Yep, it was that. The reviews seemed good on fragrantica so maybe it was a bad sample. I hope nobody else noticed the smell 😭
Just tried my sample of San Ysidro -- it was really nice, lasted & faded beautifully. Maybe it's the other thing you sprayed that interfered with it?

Hiya has anyone tried the Jones Road shower perfume that's currently being advertised (at least to me) constantly on fb?

Sotd - Memo Marfa. Not sure I am that keen but it was in a beauty box so didn't technically buy it.

Finally tried out Zara perfumes the other week. I got Applejuice which I loved in store but it just isn't lasting on me so using it as more of a body spray. My daughter chose Red Vanilla. She wants Sol de Janiero for her school bag but it is a bit ££ for an 11 year old and I don't trust her not to lose it tbh.

Hi all, I’m kinda sad that Jo Malone has discontinued their solid perfume range. I’m thinking of buying a Diptyque one (the packaging is so cute!). Unfortunately I don’t live near any stockists so I’d have to buy one without knowing if if I like it…any advice would be so appreciated!

If anyone likes dupes Divain is back selling to the UK. They have the best dupes of any company I have used...for the Midnight Poison fans they have a dupe of it.

Hi all 🙂


I have used a few . All legit and genuine s

scented samples - https://www.scentedsamples.co.uk/

small aromas-

Fragrance Samples UK

bloom perfumery ( they also have a store in Covent Garden , London)

Jovoy London ( also have a shop - I haven’t been but think it’s in Mayfair)

Perfume subscriptions companies :-

The fragrance shop ( scent addict) £12 a month for 8ml

Scent Box ( they look like an American company who ship to the UK) . I pay £13 a month for 8ml ( decent selection of niche / luxury fragrances ) - despite coming from America it arrived within a week of being posted .


Sniph - similar to both others mentioned . Same sort of price and great range of frags that you don’t typically see in the UK. I cancelled this subscription as it’s taking up to 6 weeks delivery wise. Not sure if this is just me because of the perfumes I picked??

Oof. That's loads to play with. Thanks!

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.:cautious:
I thought it's a dupe of sol de Janeiro?

I've got Libre (YSL) on today and it's giving me a nasty headache. I've decided I have a love/hate relationship with this perfume :ROFLMAO:

Was wondering about trying Chanel Gabrielle Eau next - has anyone got this?
Oh no, I've blind bought Libre as a birthday gift for my mum next week :ROFLMAO: hope she likes it!! What does it smell like?

I used to like Armani. It was literally just called Armani and came in a black and clear glass rectangular bottle. This was in the late 90s/early 00s. I can't even find a picture of it online.

ETA found it - it's the one on the right but the bottle was in the black plastic container on the right.
