Favourite Perfumes - Thread 5

[CherryAcid]

This sounds like my idea of heaven in a scent! Please let us know your thoughts when it arrives!

It’s here!! It’s sweet but the sandalwood balances it out really nice and gives it a woody note so it’s not sickly. Would be a nice going out perfume as it’s quite sexy.

I like some of the M&S Discover range, they have a new one out - Pear and Blush - I've seen it mentioned that it's a dupe for the Merit Retrospect.

I’ve just got Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Paradise garden and I love it. I’m not articulate enough to describe it but it’s a new favourite.

SOTD (most days to be fair) Sisley l’eau revée d’Isa. I absolutely love this EDT. Fresh, feminine and classy. Not at all cloying or overpowering

 

[TwasEverThus]

Yes, it's lovely essentially a sweet, makeup powder scent

I'd sprayed two of his fragrances in John Lewis and the assistant then sprayed another, got home, loved one but couldn't remember which one it was so I bought samples of musc blanc & musc nude. Pretty sure it was the poudree that I liked best so thank you!!

SOTD Dubai musk. Love this for a cheaper alternative to musk therapy

Wearing gulf orchid rice milk. It has a beautiful savory rice nice at the start that reminds me of leau papier. But the dry down is more sweet and cosy like a slightly fruity creamy rice pudding. Just lovely.

SOTD- DedCool Xtra Milk. Chosen in my Scentbird subscription. Definitely a skin scent, which was a bit disappointing at first, however I cannot stop sniffing my wrist It’s like cosy, fresh laundry I just wish it had more projection. Would like to try Mochi Milk!

My all time fav perfume has been discontinued. It was the signature, original Michael Kors perfume. If any of you are familiar with it can you recommed any alternatives with a similar smell? Thanks

Another ex dune wearer. Think Dune was my first expensive bottle of perfume ( I was bought it for my 14th/15th bday)

 

[Crumpet41]

Me too. I quite like it but not sure it’s something I would find myself reaching for if I bought a bottle.

Final update - acne studios is not for me. It’s way to laundry detergent for me. Thankfully it died out reasonably quickly.

Wearing my Soleil Blanc dupe today cos I am CRAVING the sun

I love my latest purchase from Bangkok airport
Atelier des fleurs Chloe Cedrus, definitely going to enjoy this one ..

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

I’ve just had an email from Perfume Parlour to say that their dupe Star Lady is back in stock.

Oh thanks so much ! I must go on and make a purchase

 

[Crumpet41]

I finished off aerin - amber musk santal today ( it was a sample). I won’t be purchasing . It’s nice but it’s the exact same as the amber musk .

 

[CherryAcid]

SOTD Byredo G Water Dupe from Noted Aromas

 

[CherryAcid]

Maison Margiela Beach Walk is a fab salty option too, I never get coconut off it mind. I get stronger coconut off Moonlight in Heaven.

Ooh yes good call I love Beach Walk

 

[Padparadascha]

Not really a scent but Elemis Frangipani Monoi oil on today.

 

[Crumpet41]

It’s actually really nice, quite rose forward on my skin which I wasn’t expecting! I adore kilian, haven’t tried that one yet though

Rolling in Love is musky/almondy on me. More of a skin scent I think but since I can smell it on me I don't really care if anyone else cant . It has the "hug in a bottle vibe".
