Favourite Perfumes - Thread 5

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

Longevity isnt great unfortunately.

Do you like white florals? I don’t think the narciso is musk-y . It’s more floral on me ( but will no doubt be different on you ).

I agree about musc invisible - I love this but shame it’s crap performance. Not tried pear inc though.

To buy list :-
Penhaligons -Solaris
Amouage - Love Delight
Andrea Maack - Jest
Christian Louboutin - La Fetish Rose
Kilian - Old Fashioned
BDK - Gris Charnel extrait ( I have the Gris Charnel but it’s pretty rubbish for performance. The extrait is more potent).
Narciso Rodriguez - For her intense ( the one in the bright pink bottle)
Victoria Beckham - Suite 302

How about you?

I love white florals but am quite picky! I will definitely give it a try.
I have a few on my list
Delina La Rosée Parfums de Marly
Retrospect Merit
Breathe Me Michela Mezzetti
Gentle Fluidity Gold Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Fleur Narcotique Ex Nihilo

Also want to try the new releases from PDM and Killian!

Congratulations


Do you like musk perfume? Ella K - Musk K is dreamy. Its very similar to glossier you but a better version - longer lasting and better projection. Its dreamy ! There is also Room 1015 - Sonic Flower ( very similar to Ella K but is more floral but not a granny floral). Both are pretty, feminine florals.

re kilian - have you tried moonlight in heaven? This is described as coconut but its not the coconut that your thinking of - infact i dont think of this as coconut at all. Its certainly not the coconut smell that coconut products generally are. Its a little beachy and its fresh . Downside is the longevity is a bit crap for the price.

@readyplayerson mentioned Delina - La Rosee . This is on a to buy list - it is a floral/fruity perfume though.

These all sound absolutely stunning I literally cannot wait until I next get a day out where I can test these. I do love rose; so I definitely need to try these x

Anyone know why Stella was discontinued? I think it sold quite well.

I also have Sakura in my queue . This month I have By/Rosie Jane - Rosie on the list. I am off to have a look at Champaca now .How do you find the atomiser? I am not a fan of it and don't like where the spray comes from.

Sakura is gorgeous, I was very tempted to get a full bottle but I havent finished the 8ml yet and I’ve other things I like a bit more. I had Rosie and it’s gorgeous but very very light, I ended up using it for my bed time perfume! I used the full 8ml in a few weeks as I had to overspray!!
immured to the atomiser now but hated it at first! I use the case, I carry them around in the tube instead which I find easier

SOTD - Amani Prive. Rouge Malachite

I’m wearing Zara’s fashionable London today. Don’t get me wrong, the longevity is amazing, but I don’t like the fact it transfers only all my clothes and lingers forever.

I kept reading about how lovely this is. I had a spray of it yesterday and didn't like it at all for a good while but later on it smelt lovely on the skin. I read that people who wear it get loads of compliments.

Another favourite of mine from the 90’s was Dior Dior Dolce Vita

Try Desnuda

Has anyone tried the new Laura Ashley perfumes? What is their longevity like?

 

[CherryAcid]

Bought SPACE NK’s Caribbean Shores body wash and body lotion and it arrived today. The scent (of the body lotion especially) is exactly like Estée Lauder’s original Bronze Goddess perfume…if anyone is looking for a nice body lotion to compliment it/give extra staying power!

Oooh I was looking at this last year for summer

 

[LouSV]

Fragrance of the day- Michael Kors - Gorgeous
Nothing special which is why I wear it mainly for work - just trying to use it up

I have used all these and can vouch that they send genuine samples

That's a good idea actually, I need to be patient though as it's only just been released so I don't think it's on these sites yet

 

[CherryAcid]

Consider me influenced! Signed up for Scentbird and chosen this as my first scent!

I will warn you it takes ages to arrive!

 

[Dragbag86]

Longevity isnt great unfortunately.

Oh that’s a shame. I haven’t found a salty one that is good longevity unfortunately. I like a good powerhouse perfume x

 

[CherryAcid]

I have an update on Nosferatu. It's very pretty but I don't think it lives up to the name. It's very cold smelling but all I get are delicate florals. I don't get any petrichor or dirt smells others are getting.

 

[emanwhe]

Are the estee Lauder bronze goddess was perfumes long lasting?

I’d had a few bottles over the years, the original, azur and fraiche…I didn’t think the eau fraiche lasted as well as the others.

 

[Dragbag86]

Same, I’ve bought a few samples and they’re too synthetic for me.

Yes I found them to be synthetic x

 

[readyplayerson]

Thank you love dupes! I’d recommend parfum hub dawn of Petra (guidance 46 dupe) ice not smelled the og but three random people told me I smelled nice yesterday

I will have to look them up! I have guidance and all its dupes but haven’t found a dupe for my 46 yet! Both guidances are in my top 10! How nice to get compliments as well

 

[petalpetal5381]

I have a discontinued perfume on there that’s still there. It’s been decanted from as well. Try the perfume without the word “used”.

I also have had room sprays removed before actually now I think of it even though there were others the same as mine listed!

Will try, as such a waste otherwise!

 

[emanwhe]

I didn’t love Juliette has a gun new one either. Bit sweet for me. Powder love I think it’s called? Tried it on my mum earlier and she didn’t like it either x

I’m actually not sold on Juliette Has a Gun either! The only one I’ve like is ‘Lust for Sun’.
