No idea about tocca. For replica, some of them are nice but imo none are really signature scent material (although thats subjective) but also don't find them good value as most of them aren't very long lasting and are quite expensive for what you get.

I quite like Colette by Tocca. I think it is similar to Gypsy Water by Byredo if you have ever tried that, although it's not an exact dupe. I don't think Tocca fragrances are known for their longevity.
I have tried the Maison Margiela gift set and I didn't enjoy any of their scents. Some were almost too realistic for me (such as By the Fireplace) to be comfortable wearing as a perfume. I don't want to smell like a bonfire
Mine are Tommy Girl or Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy, both usually under £20 for 100ml
I love khamrah by lattafah. Warm, cosy, caramelly. I paid £21 on TikTok shop for 100ml EDP
Zara / Jo Malone colab - Salty Ocean Bouquet and Fashionably London
I use Bal D'afrique and I also bought the Noted Aromas dupe, it was pretty much identical although not as long lasting.
Noted Aromas are pretty good in general. The ones I’ve tried are all very true to the originals. They were doing a sample pack of 5 x 5ml for £10, where you could choose which 5 - great value if it’s still on.
Mine are the Next range. I've the amber one and the Paradise one that I use interchangeably for work. They are clean fresh but light.
For splurging, Tom Ford eau de soliel blanc.

That is so funnyI was on Reddit and someone said that they thought Fleur de Peau smelt like tina to them and it just really put me off it. Whenever I tried to test it I just thought of musty genitals. There is one note in there that sticks out and really bothers my nose.
I've tried Lilyphea from that line of Diptyques. It is really nice, I think it is waterlily. It is definitely more of a spring / summer scent to me though. I'm not sure about the rest, or why they are more expensive than the other Diptyques.
I want to try Rouge Smoking by BDK, that is the cherry one right? I have tried Gris Charnel and really like it even though I tried it last year and didn't. I'm not sure if I need another tea fragrance in my collection though, I already have Dear Polly, The Noir 29 and Indigo
next time I wear fleur de peau in will just think of it as fleur de fan 
You sound like you have a great collection and a great knowledge of perfumes. I'm so bad at describing something and run to that parfumo website for help
Always think you can't go wrong with ysl libre. Definitely will purchase the intense once I'm finished the original edp.Tried Rose wick today and oh it's so lovely but way out of my price range tbh. YSL Libre Intense is more my speed, still expensive but there's a decent Black Friday offer on it in Boots
Hahaha I'm sure it smells much better on youThat is so funny

. I'm sorry if you own it and I've said nasty things about that fragrance.I go on all those fragrance subreddits and just watch reels on tiktok about perfume. I probably wouldn't know how to describe them apart from that. You know when people say "oh there is a cardamom note" or whatever? I'm just like "it either smells nice or not."
I'm the sams although some notes now i learned to recognise purely by identifying it's something i can smell in however many perfumes and it has it as a note. I still don't really know though what "musky" smells likeHahaha I'm sure it smells much better on you

Sometimes if a note is really prominent I can smell it - like Rose 31 by Le Labo has a really prominent cumin note. I don't know what musky is either - some people like it but to be that would be the smell of someone who needs a wash. Likewise when people say aldehydes smell sparkly - what is a "sparkly" smell?I'm the sams although some notes now i learned to recognise purely by identifying it's something i can smell in however many perfumes and it has it as a note. I still don't really know though what "musky" smells like
Yes i don't get this
it's a bit easier with things like floral, fruity, gourmand notes i guess than something less common in real life like aldehydes or ambroxan or whateverYeah, if it is an everyday smell I might be able to pick it out, but some notes just seem too abstract to really understand unless you smell hundreds of perfumes or single compounds I guess.Yes i don't get this
I am also in awe of people who describe fragrances with such poetic finesse. Whereas I'm like "this gives me a headache" or "I can't wear this to work."
I was a bit meh on the original: I liked how it smelled in the bottle but it didn't do much to develop on my skin, whereas the intense changed and got deeper and sweeter and I couldn't stop sniffing it
I have it in my Boots basket ready to check out but it's already on special offer so I'm not sure whether it's worth waiting for Black Friday - right now it's €158.10 for 90+10ml and 700 extra advantage card points (which is €7 in points, right?) if I order before 11 November.
I want to get the best possible deal as someone is getting it for me as a late Birthday present
