Favourite Perfumes - Thread 5

[it’s not been changed?!]

Has anyone smelt this?

 

[griftalo]

It is always the perfumes you hate the most that have the most beast power.

Ooh - what one did you try ?

So true.

It was Silk if I remember correctly.

Been looking at getting a sample of voce viva, would you recommend it?

Yeah it's really nice and uplifting especially for spring. Quite generic smelling but I like it all the same

Has anyone on here tried any of the H&M Coconut Escape products?

 

[waawaaweewaa]

Has anyone tried YSL Libre L’eau Nue? It’s got orange blossom and bergamot in it . Keen to know people’s thoughts.

Ooh yes good call I love Beach Walk

I will definitely have to try this as I need a summer fragrance and it sounds lush x

I have tried Rare Beauty not Angham - Burberry Goddess is just so moreish; find myself sniffing my wrist all day!

 

[Crumpet41]

Where did you get your sample from originally? I’m not sure how I feel
About a chocolate note, love vanilla and plum though!
145 for 15ml is extortionate!!!!! I don’t think I could pay that much unless that 15ml would last me forever!! Do you know anyone going to Iceland on holiday

I bought it from small aromas.

I agree about the 145 euro for 15ml - it is a crazy price but I think Iceland is also an expensive country so maybe it’s inline with costs of products there?

I have tried Rare Beauty not Angham - Burberry Goddess is just so moreish; find myself sniffing my wrist all day!

Angham is pretty identical, im not sure if I would be able to tell them apart in all honesty. I’m going to have to do a blind sniff test today to see

SOTD - Narciso Rodriguez. Rouge

This was a present from a friend - fell in love with it and its what got me into perfume. Previously i hardly wore perfume at all - maybe for special occasions only. I loved it then and still love it. I am on my 2nd bottle of this. It has been discontinued ( and now im feeling an urge to buy a 3rd bottle on ebay or vinted so i have a back up ).

I used to wear Christian Dior Dune back in the 90’s. Is this still available? I loved it.

Yes! I loved this too - was a similar scent to Chanel Allure.

SOTD Phlur beach skin layered with Nest Balinese coconut roll on

 

[Dragbag86]

That’s what I was thinking! There’s quite a lot on there I want to try from all different categories, thanks for bringing it to my attention as I don’t think I’ve heard of them before.

Perfect! I’m so glad I shared it I promise I’m not a scentbox hun or influencer I just really like perfume and I’ve lost my identity after wearing Chloe from 2016/2022 then baccarat rouge extrait from 2022-now! And all of a sudden I’m like ok but there are other brands to like.

I also really like a brand called abbey perfumery as they’re local to me and their scents are really good quality and not expensive (again not in any way affiliated I just like them and they’re really good quality) so happy to find some like minded perfume people!

 

[readyplayerson]

Delina la rosee in fab! The price pisses me off but I really love it probably even more then my delina exclusive.

Tried a sample of gfg by mfk and loved it much more then baccarat rouge.

I’ve seen a Delina la Rosee for £90 (30ml) but I’m unsure if the site is legit! Exploring other rose fragrances this weekend hoping I can find something a bit cheaper!

 

[readyplayerson]

SOTD Maison Crivelli rosé saltifolia. I love a rose note but my husband hates anything rose heavy apart from guidance and Impadia

 

[emanwhe]

Oooh I was looking at this last year for summer

Definitely worth it, it’s sooooo summery!!

 

[piquant]

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

It's one of my favourite scents...I was complemented on wearing it when out for birthday meal at Murano in London!
I bought it 'blind' from Liberty as had credit to use!....I also rate Fleur de peau from Diptyque as well

SOTD - Ormond Jayne . Damask

After someone mentioned that they had a Scentbird subscription i went and had a look ( and mulled it over for a few days). Decided i would try it out as there were a few perfumes i wanted to try. The perfume arrived yesterday so I am trying it today. Its very nice - it has a similar dna to PDM - Delina but its much sharper and a bit green. So far i like it.

Love this review, I have this one coming in april. I’ve liked all of the Ormond Jayne I’ve tried so far from Scentbird. Champaca is on its way next, hoping it is as good as the others

 

[readyplayerson]

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

Is there ginger in it? I wonder if that is why I like it layered with princess as there’s ginger in that as well

 

[Former_Antelopee]

I love perle de coco by &other stories, which one have you got?

Amber noir is the one I chose
