Has anyone seen the Bleu du Channel perfume advert with Timothée Chalamet? Lmao it's so cringe it physically makes my stomach drop when it comes on the TV
It’s so bad. Looks like a GCSE media studies video project from the early 1990s! When I heard Scorsese did it I nearly fell off my perch in shock!

Does anybody ever love going to weddings or parties etc where people are at their most glamorous and you end up smelling new fragrances or something you've never tried before on guests? It's a great conversation starter too.

I was at a wedding at the weekend and was shocked that I could only pick up on the scent of my cousin who wasn't even the bride. She smelled so divine even at 2AM after much dancing and of course I had to ask what it was. PRADA PARADOXE she says.

Definitely my next purchase for sure 👌

A male customer assistant at the station told me I smelt lovely a few weeks ago! I had JPG Divine on and was on my way home from work so sprayed it a good 8 hours earlier.

Does Superdrug sell higher end perfumes?
I've just seen a TikTok saying if you buy a mini atomiser there (the 5ml capacity empty ones designed to be filled from a full size bottle, intended for handbag or travel) for £6.99 you can have it filled instore for free from whichever tester bottle you choose.
I'm in Ireland and the nearest Superdrug to me is pretty rough so I haven't browsed the perfume but it could be a cost-effective way to try more expensive fragrances without buying the full bottle?

Look on their site and choose pick up from store, it will tell you if they have it

Thanks, I hadn't thought to check as they didn't have an ROI website when I last looked!
They seem to have a fairly limited range of brands online anyway with lots not available but I will def pop in next time I'm passing and see what the samples selection is like.
Hopefully the idea will work for someone anyway!

Tips for making perfumes last a bit longer? I finally got a full bottle of opium black over red but it’s not that all long lasting…

Spray clothing, spray over moisturised skin. It could be you can’t smell it after a bit too.

Been wearing my Penhaligons Equinox bloom the last two days. I got it secondhand via eBay but full, and it had a weird smell the first few sprays but it appears to be okay now which is good as it was fairly expensive and the decant I had first was amazing and I was so disappointed!

I have that perfume and it isn’t a great performer. I actually layer it was cherry smoothie from Zara. It’s an older bottle and the projection and lasting power is great in it.
Make sure you’re applying to pulse points, I always spray on the clothing I’m wearing as well, especially knitwear and jackets, they hold the scent so well. Other than that you need to “overspray” a bit with weaker perfumes, not 1-2 sprays and go.
also I know it probably doesn’t need to be said but don’t rub your wrists together or anywhere else you put it. Just leave it to dry or very gently pat for the best results ❤

I've started spraying the back of my neck, so I'm not smelling it all day and getting used to, assuming it smells the same to other people!

Back of a dark cupboard/wardrobe for a few weeks... Don't know why but it absolutely works. I have JM wood sage and sea salt which used to last about 90 mins max on me, left it in my wardrobe for a few months and now it lasts all day :) x

I got given a bottle of Creed Windflowers and I was so disappointed as it just didn't smell that great on me, but funnily enough I've not touched it for 6 months - am wearing today and it smells completely different. I've no idea why....

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.:cautious:

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

Could be! I'm not sure how close the Kayali and Sol de Janeiro are (I find SdJ as a brand just too strong for me) but going by Fragrantica it seems most people are claiming it as a Kayali Yum Pistachio dupe instead.

Zara do a good trade in dupes, but a lot of big selling dupeable fragrances are kind of "sisters not twins" so it could be similar to both!

True I haven tried the kayali one. Or the Zara one 😅 their dupes are good but I always find if I get a dupe of something, there's always something slightly off about it. I couldn't deal with the red temptation one and I love br540

I’ve tried it and it’s definitely more like Kayali, it’s not like SdJ at all to me. I have it on now, will see how it wears but so far it’s not bad for the price
