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.

AW Scents do a great dupe of Princess, well they have two, Milady and I think the other is Royal Delight. Royal Delight is the newer version. I find they can 'boost' the original, as you say, its not the longest lasting.

Hi everyone long time no talk. Hope Christmas was good to you all 🥰 are yous expecting any perfume off your partners on valentine's day? or even as a treat to your lovely single self 😉 😊 sure why not! ❤

I'm on a no spend till at least April. I have a wedding then and I just know I will buy something for it 🤪 any recommendations? I'm trying to be practical and have pulled out bottles that have bits left that need using over the next couple of months. Prada candy I would definitely repurchase, absolutely love it. I've got another lveb by lancome that I got gifted a year ago so I definitely need this bottle used up. Elie saab in white one of my favourites. Great staying power. Chloe absolu and lady million are OK but wouldn't run out to repurchase. Jm velvet rose and oud is fabulous and the staying power is good for jm.

Hi @HelloStereo ❤ Hope Christmas was good to you. I end up wearing angels share on Christmas day. Would definitely repurchase! That or musc ravageur would be great for the festive season. I got a 30ml of delina la rosee but would love the 75ml! What's orpheon like? I love diptyque. So worth the £££. I got beach skin body spray by phur and marc Jacobs perfect absolu as gifts over Christmas. Bs will definitely be getting used all over summer ☀ 😍 not quite use to the marc Jacobs one yet. It's quite strong

Hello @unfinishedsentenc how are you? How was your Christmas? ♥ 🎄 Did you feel very festive wearing Angels Share on Christmas Day? I ended up wearing Rouge Malachite which is my favourite ever and one I bring out for special occasions - such a decadent balsamic white floral.

Are you now planning on what perfumes you will begin buying in April for the summer, or will beach skin be your main summer fragrance?

Are Musc Ravageur and Angels Share strong? You know I don't mind a strong fragrance every now and then, especially for going out. But I've been recently gravitating towards skin scents that aren't so overwhelming. I blind bought Sonic Flower that's meant to be similar to Glossier You, and I really like Angel Dust Extrait by Fugazzi and Studied by Liis. Orpheon isn't really a skin scent but sort of down those lines in that it's not too overpowering. It's a sort of powdery woody scent that has a bit of sharpness from the juniper berry. It's really nice and unique and easy to wear I think, definitely one I can spray without really thinking and wear to the office without worrying about it overpowering everyone.

I have a few beast mode fragrances in my collection like Initio Atomic Rose and Le Labo The Noir, and while I love them, I find it hard to find the right occasion to wear them if that makes sense. Like they're only really things I'd wear in cold weather in the night time and as they stick on clothes I can't wear the same thing twice if I want to switch out a fragrance. I used to love that but now I'm not sure if I'm now gravitating towards scents that I can wear most of the time and fade after a while so I can switch them out.

I have a few more samples coming though. I have Musc Ravageur by Frederic Malle, Lilyphea and Tam Dao by Diptyque and two D.S and Durga ones (Debaser and I Don't Know What). I ordered them this evening after a few beers 😂

SOTD Fugazzi- Angel Dust. My latest Scentbird sample. A lovely oriental, cosy yet fresh scent, and not similar to any of my other fragrances. However, it is a skin scent and while I don’t want a beast mode fragrance, I personally don’t see the point in scents that no one else can smell! This would be amazing if it had stronger projection! If anyone has suggestions for similar scents that are stronger, please let me know 😇

Can’t think of anything similar but if you’re open to dupe’s desired scents are bringing out one soon. I’ve had a few from them and they are good.

This is so inappropriate I know, but I wore l'eau papier by diptyque to a funeral recently and was complimented on it twice 🫢

I am wearing Phlur Father Figure which is growing on me. I bought four travel sizes and not sure I love it enough to buy the full size.

SOTD Champaca from Ormknde Jayne (Scentbird) first impressions are good!! A nice clean shampooy type of floral, don’t think I’d pay full price for it but I will enjoy wearing the travel size especially in the warmer weather.

I don’t know how to describe it other than powdery musk and a little sweet. I don’t get any rose from it or any vanilla ( which is a hit and miss note for me).

I’m not too keen on powdery musk, i do like vanilla and rose though! I’ll try and find a bottle somewhere. I wish we could all swap decants and samples

Yes, both are lovely, Fashionably London has real staying power. There’s also a stronger elixir that I actually prefer. Another one from this range Salty Ocean Bouquet is my favourite and I am constantly asked what it is, it’s another really lasting scent. For the price range they are fab.

What’s salty ocean similar to? Sounds interesting

I have just seen an advert for Banana Rush by Juliette has a Gun - the description signs like it would be my kind of perfume and banana notes are very unusual so really curious about it. Anyone tried it? Is there any actual shops that stock JHAG perfumes as £30 for 7.5 mls is a bit steep 🙈

you could try small aromas and get a sample first.

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?
