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!

I am a devout Baccarat Rouge 540 wearer! I try others but always go back to it....
As a cheap every day long lasting perfume I love Far & Away by Avon! £15 on Amazon, really sticks around and masks any smells that might be on you - I make myself sound dirty! I am horsey so often pong a bit -Far and Away is great to whack on before popping somewhere in horse girl clothes :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
I’m a baccarat rouge girl too! What’s this far and away smell like?

I bought it a few years ago for the same reason. I’ve used it about five times so it’s pretty full still. Someone once gave me a decant of the elixir/extrait version which was like heaven and I wish I had more.
I’m currently waiting for my orange fizz, elixir de merveilles, three Tesori d’oriente cheapies, and petit lempicka. I’ve been very very bad at spending this month
I’m not going to go through addict quickly that’s for sure. I want to try elixir de merveilles as I believe that’s supposed to smell similar to VS.

Think I’m going to treat myself to Mugler Alien with my Boots points. Does anyone know if you buy in store they’ll give a few perfume samples these days?

Side note I really hate how most shops don’t give those little samples anymore. I need to wear a scent a day or two to decide on it not sprayed onto a piece of paper. Used to be more common many years ago 🥲
Online is better for samples with boots. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten them in store. Department stores are usually the best place for a few samples even if you don’t buy they’re usually happy to let you have samples of things you like and might buy in the future

Very similar in terms of scent, but more complex than JM, and I actually think better performance. The paint brushes are a cool concept as well if she still has those out.
I had one of the paintbrushes and it was lovely but sadly the fragrance didn’t last
 
Hi! I am not really a huge perfume user but I really want to start wearing it more often. I have NO idea where to start (just get overwhelmed when I’m in the shops, also I prefer to shop online which I realise is not ideal for buying perfume lol). Can anyone recommend a place to start? Eg a fragrance tester box or something similar?

I quite like Santal 33 and would prefer something which is unisex - floral/woody rather than spicy. I also bought Malin + Goetz dark rum after loving the shower gel but find it a bit too strong and spicy if that makes sense?

Thank you!!
