Favourite Perfumes - Thread 5

[Onepotatotwopotato]

Lovely thing happened today. I was looking after my three year old grandson and he said 'Nana when you go I can always smell you on the sofa'. I said 'is that nice or not?' and he said 'very nice'
It's usually a Versace one which I've forgotten the name of. I left it for a while but came back to it and really like it now. It's quite punchy.

Crystal nior?

SOTD Burberry Goddess. Definitely in my top 10, I love it!

I love Burberry Goddess. The first spray makes my nose tingle with the lavender and ginger notes

Does anyone know if a good website that sells Arabian perfumes? I’ve read that they are longer lasting than others and want to try some. I was looking at emiratesoud.co.uk but on Facebook the reviews were low saying fragrances didn’t turn up after purchase? Are there any better sites?

I'm Australian. I have a few Arabian Perfume/Muslim bookstores stores located near me, including Bujairami. I also buy decants from Love that scent. A lot of Arabian perfumes contain Oud. Which can be an acquired taste. So blind buying never works. My favourite perfume at the moment is Oud & Roses. I even bought the matching bukhoor. If I lived the UK I'd go to Dubai and buy all the perfumes. Well if there wasn't a war going on

Dolce&Gabbana the one and light blue.

Basically anything that reeks of orange blossom/neroli

CK from the 90s classic too.

SOTD - M&S Marshmallow Delight, think it’s a summer limited edition one, amazing for a cheapy, so yummy and really long lasting!!

I love this at the moment! And 12 quid is a great deal for something that lasts all day

SOTD - Phlur Soft Spot layered with Glossier You Fleur.

I am wearing Aerin - Amber Musk today

 

[griftalo]

I keep them on my chest of drawers, nowhere near the radiator. I’m going to temporarily give them to my mum and see if she can smell them. I do have a mould problem in my room so I wonder if this could be impacting them?

Are they in boxes? Also high volume hydrogen peroxide for your mould.

SOTD
Sicillian Sunrise by & Other Stories layered with Breathe Me by Michela Mezzetti for a bit of sweetness. Not my favourite combination that I’ve tried if I’m honest

 

[LouSV]

Reviews were not that positive, longevity seems to be an issue.

Yes I tried it recently and love it but it’s probably not the strongest of fragrances, quite subtle but I love the scent and I will definitely be buying it soon..

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Wearing Penhaligon’s Savoy Steam. Hate that it’s been discontinued, it’s such a lovely perfume.

I just had a look at the one and it sounds nice!
I wore their “the favourite” yesterday. It was in a discovery set I have. Not the kind of fragrance I would go for normally, but I really liked it.

SOTD Burberry Goddess. Definitely in my top 10, I love it!

This was also my SOTD! Love it

What’s it like? I stopped subscribing to scent addict but debating whether to start it again as I want the new good girl jasmine absolut.

I have a travel of soleil Blanc, I get no coconut but I will revisit! Didn’t like vanilla vibes and need to try bronze goddess again as not tried it for years and there are new flankers out now! Is beach beach walk? Didn’t like that either! Interested in the vacation, have had a quick google and it sounds like what I’m looking for but I don’t think it’s available in the uk?

Sorry Beach is Bobbi Brown: Beach. It is hard to get but I picked up a bottle on vinted recently. That to me is the closest smelling coconut/sunscreen oil smell I have ever found.

Sometimes free people and anthropologie sellt it. Just googling and ubuy stocks it and Small Aromas sell samples of it.

SOTD victoria beckham Portifino.
Interesting, and quite nice but not loving it enough to want to spend money on it.
Got it as a free sample with a VB eyeshadow i bought.

SOTD Valentino Purple Melancholia…. Im one of the few who actually like this

Ooh I’m wearing that today too!

 

[readyplayerson]

Does anyone have any thoughts on Valentino Donna Born in Roma Extradose? I’ve only sprayed it in shop but the initial headache inducing heaviness dries down really nicely and I’m tempted.

I have it and love it. I don’t wear it that much anymore although I wouldn’t get rid of it. It’s definitely an evening fragrance for me as it’s really strong.

 

[HelloStereo]

how are you liking the aerin? I have the Amber Musk ( full size) and a sample of the Amber Musk Santal (i dont know why they bothered making this as its almost a replica of Amber Musk).

What is Kilian Princess like? I have looked at this a few times as i am always seeing it pop up on Tiktok.

Not the one you replied to but Ive tried Kilian Princess and to me it is quite a realistic green tea fragrance with some sweetness from the marshmallow. It doesnt last as long as id like it to but it's nice.

SOTD Jo Malone English oak and hazelnut. 3 spritzes this morning and I’ll be smelling it for days. One of my most repurchased perfumes.
