Daily fragrance for vacation!

I’m spending my Summer all throughout Europe and am looking for a good day to day fragrance.

I bought the Sephora perfume sampler set, so ideally I’d like to decide between getting a full size bottle of either:

  • Clean Reserve Skin
  • Phlur Missing Person
  • Versace Dylan Purple

I’m also open to other suggestions, but any input it regarding the above would be helpful!

I know it’s all up to personal taste but I’m not a huge fragrance person so I’m curious what you all think. I liked all three of them a lot. Thank you!!!

D.S. & Durga lives up to the hype!

I didn’t know I was going to fall in love with a perfume, but it just happened with Debaser. It’s green, fresh, reminds me of the wet floor in the fern room at the Lincoln Park Conservatory, mixed with coconut and a little … vanilla? I am obsessed.

Jazmin Yucatán is also a lovely, tropical scent. I may alternate them all summer!

Does anyone else love these two?

niche means nothing

i feel like theres no depth to what niche means, if it’s not designer it’s just automatically categorized as niche, which isn’t really the definition. i’ve heard people call mfk niche, le labo niche, etc. which i get they aren’t as mainstream as designer, but i feel like the word has lost all meaning and has just sorta become a buzz word. don’t get me wrong theres still niche shit but what really is the meaning of it?

Please, help me identify two samples (handwriting issue)

i got these two samples but i cannot read the handwriting, help is very much appreciated!

imgur images link here

  • sample 1 looks like "frustration"? it smells ambery/oudy/balsamic, not sharp, more rounded, bit of powdery dry down, "oriental" a bit, for a lack of a better word – apologies, can't pick anything more specific
  • sample 2 i think is an abbreviation ABEJ or ABED, I believe, but I can't find anything online. It smells gourmand, though not too sweet, and I get something sharp/aldehydic/soapy, maybe cotton, this is brighter/sharper than sample 1, but I cannot pick any specific notes

I remember the lady who decanted these was talking about one fragrance that was centered around hazelnut, but I cannot pick it in here, maybe it is spoiled or simply not there.

Not your typical (femenine) summer fragrances

I have been down a rabbit-hole these past few days, in search of the perfect companion for my tropical vacation this summer. I wasn't disappointed! There are plenty of options out there, for every income and every taste. To preface this, I must say I'm a little difficult when it comes to fresh fragrances: I tend to prefer heavier scents that make a statement, and I am sort of a vintage-style scents lover. I profoundly dislike cardamom, lemon is a no-no, and lavender usually is too masculine for me. I prefer floral, musky scents with the occasional citrus kick, but I avoid the usual tropical flower and fruit. In consequence, these aren't your typical summer fragrances. Here we go, in no particular order:

Granado - Rosa Damascena

OK, this comes in a huge bottle: even 100 mL of an eau de cologne is too much for me. I have been on a rose kick since last year, so I hope this has that intense (or well, freshly intense) rose scent I crave for. The brand also offers shower gels and lotions of the same scent, and I am so excited to try this all together!

Berdoues - Freesia & Coton

I imagine this as a delicate floral, powdery cloud with notes of freesia (duh), musk, cashmere blonde woods and some light citrus to bring some sparkle. I really enjoy cotton notes in perfumes for spring and summer, and usually Berdoues doesn't disappoint with respect to fresh fragrances, so I hope I will like this.

Chanel - Paris Venise

I usually find neroli, petit-grain and orange blossom too harsh, or at least on my skin. So, with the addition of tonka bean and vanilla I hope it won't be the case! I do like orange, for example, but find orange-centric fragrances too masculine for my specific taste so this is the next best thing. And don't even get me started on lemon! My boyfriend and, by transitivity, I, find it too toilet-cleaning-supply-ish: that's why most of the other fresh fragrances are out of the question for me.

Guerlain - Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic

But worry not, dear friend, there's still some citrus to explore! Well, I know, this one is well-known but I couldn't not mention it. I love, love, LOVE juicy mandarin scents. I tend to avoid bitter, green unripe citrus fruits scents, and this is not like that. I have a sample of this fragrance, so I can actually give a review: in some way, the basil gives a coriander-like human-skin muskiness that I find comforting.

Goutal - L'Île au Thé

Another mandarin scent, even though I don't have any sample nor have gone to test it in person. Tea fragrances seem to smell fresh by consensus, even if it's a hot drink, and reviews say this particular fragrance is "sparkly", "a little bit herbal", and "inoffensive" which is exactly what I'm looking for.

Fragonard - Jasmin Perle de Thé

I love jasmine, even in its dirtiest forms, so finding a fragrance for summer that contains it is a dream come true. I suppose the flower won't be as indolic as I'm used to, and that along with tea it will be greener than I usually wear, but I'm eager to give this a try.

Olibanum - Ambrette

Here we enter into the clean musk territory, with a strong contender: ambrette seed and olibanum resin (frankincense, if I'm not mistaken). For some reason, I find incense rather cooling instead of warming, so together with a vegetal musk it is the recipe for success.

Le Couvent - Mimosa

When thinking summer, I think of not-so-classic florals and musks. So, I naturally gravitated towards mimosa: reviews say it smells like the real thing, a honeyed but very subtle floral brightened by some zesty bergamot and backed up by cedar. I suppose there are some other notes, but the notes pyramid doesn't reveal anything else.

Fragonard - Lilas

Hurry up, this is a limited edition scent! I saw that some of us love lilac, with its spring-time freshness and delicate powderiness, and are actively looking for our holy grail. I associate the fragrance to fresh linen in my mind, so that's why such a spring-themed perfume is tropical appropriate to my nose. I had the pleasure to try it in store, and needless to say, it is very pretty.

Of course, L'Occitane offers a number of fresh fragrances that are worth every penny, but I haven't been personally in a store to try them and none appealed me from the notes. Also, have you tried any of these? Or do you have any other uncommon summer scent recommendations? I'm all ears!

LV Decant Question

I just recently bought my first LV, Meteore, and I love it. But, everyone knows they’re quite expensive. I understand people buy and sell decants and I was wondering if I could sell good quality decants (glass bottles, good labels) etc. to kind of make up for it. I’d only sell Meteore, but with some rough estimates, I’d only have to refill my bottle 2x to break even. Someone please help me out if it’s a good idea. Thanks!!

Spicebomb extreme

Hi I just got a SBE. I love loud fragrances that fill the room and heard this one has great projection. When I used the cologne I only got 1 hour of 2ft away projection and another 1 hour of 1ft away projection. Longevity I can smell it on my wrist 12 hours later.

I’ve read online of reformulation rumors. My batch is from DECEMBER 2023.

I’m curious if maturation just letting it age will improve the projection? Or should I try to return it?

Which one to buy

I am really confused and don't know which one to buy. Which of these has better projection and pulls more compliments.

  1. Valentino born in roma intense
  2. Azzaro most wanted intense
  3. Azzaro wanted by night

Is it impossible for "fruity" to be a base?

I am super new to fragrance but it seems like at first sniff, I'm very drawn to fruit scents. I loved TF lost cherry and Jimmy Choo I Want Choo at the sample counters so I ordered the Dossier dupes. I also got samples that I love of Paris Hilton Ruby Rush and lastly I forgot who makes it but "I am Trash" is my absolutely favorite so far.

The thing is, after I wear them for a couple hours I'm not fruity anymore. All of these fade into either flowers, vanilla, or gone entirely. Do fruit notes never last? Is it my chemistry? Am I buying incorrectly?

Does Juliette Has a Gun stink on you too?

I desperately wish I could wear the OG or any of the flankers, but they smell like absolute burning plastic trash on me.

My theory is that all of us for whom this is true have some sort of biochemistry in common. So along those lines, if it smells awful on you, what do you find smells absolutely amazing? What else do you also have to avoid?

Good pairing/layering fragrance with Bath & Body Works Freshwater cream?

I’ve been wearing a little bit of the Whiskey Reserve body cream + testing out some complimentary colognes as my daily wear but since WR is seasonal to fall/winter and the fragrances are a little warmer and spicier in general, I wanted to try something a little more summer-y as a seasonal daily wear.

I bought the Freshwater body cream from BBW since I kinda liked it and wanted to try something fresher than the darker/woodier/spicier stuff I usually wear but will keep for the colder months now. As such, I’m not as familiar with fresher/summer-y fragrances.

Any recommendations for good daily wear colognes with similar/non-conflicting profiles? The top three notes are Italian bergamot, mountain spring water, and oak moss, so I was looking for something more ocean/mountain kinda vibes, I just don’t know fragrances all that well tbh.

Layering Experts: Help with Polo Blue please!

POLO BLUE SPORT Ralph Lauren Polo Blue makes me happy- can’t help it. I know it’s classic/dated/Mens basic - but the notes and formula resonate to my core! I also have a bottle in stash.

I need layering suggestions to make this wearable outside, even lean more unisex and ideally feminine if possible. I want to be able to wear PB so bad as a signature but not smell like I just sprayed men’s Cologne or be able to do more with it than just swatch n sniff wrists at home for the instant positive/happy buzz/association or love of the cucumber note.

Freesia is my love and works amazing on my chemistry - most of my HG /instant loved and signature scent flankers have Freesia! So far at counters my experimenting has been a miss/fail lol

Hoping to get some insight in right direction or suggestions! 🙏🏼

Looking for a Perfect Garden Scent + My list of potential garden fragrances

I wan’t to smell like a natural garden - fresh, wet, green, herbal, earthy, aromatic (https://www.fiskars.com/-/media/fiskars/images/legacy/inspiration-tips/gardening/how-to-plant-a-shade-garden/page_main_image_how-to-plant-a-shade-garden.jpg):

  • Herbs
  • A bit of soil or related earthy smells
  • Greenery, but not fresh cut grass, more as in some green leaf that is aromatic in itself, like black currant leaves, or something like that.
  • Maybe some water, like dew drops or something
  • Maybe some fresh berries or apples in the mix, but not as main characters - I don’t want this fragrance to be of ‘fruity’ accord, more of ‘green’, ‘earthy’, maybe ’aromatic’, maybe ‘fresh spicy’ accord
  • Maybe some cucumbers even???

But not limited to only these ‘ingredients’ because I myself might not know what I’m looking for.
I just know I probably don’t want it to be citrusy, because that’s immediately a whole different vibe for me.
And maybe it shouldn’t have a strong floral accord, because it would also overpower my initial green garden wish (but maybe somewhere in the background would help with the photorealistic garden feel?)

I also want to share my 'library' of potential garden scents.
Big part of them I haven’t even smelled yet so let me know if something from this list matches my criteria. Meaning - if something you would recommend is already in this list, I still want to hear your recommendation!
Some are more straightforward green garden, some are less, some are a bit foresty gardens, but all of them are mostly green:

Looking for PVC notes!

I am looking for a scent that has distinct atmospheric chemical ish PVC notes like a pool float. I kind of smell it in Steamed Rainbow by DS and Durga but not exactly. It’s a fresh smell. Almost like pool water (chlorine) and pool float. Note: I am NOT looking for sun lotion, tropical smell to go with it. Any fragrances come to mind?

Which note in SHL ‘God of fire’ makes it smell like baccarat rouge 540?

I was so excited for Stephane Humbert Lucas’s ‘god of fire’, because I love mango and I’ve been on the hunt for a more fresh, feminine summer perfume.

However, all I can smell is yet another clone of MFK Baccarat rouge 540? It even reminds me of cloud. I don’t get any mango at all! Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very nice and well-blended scent, but ???

Did anyone else experience this? Which note is causing the resemblance on my skin? (And in my nose)

Edit: more specifically: it smells like MFK - baccarat rouge 540 mixed with Burberry - Her

Orabella Parfum

Has anyone tried the new Bella Hadid Orabella perfume? I got it at gratis at Ulta (and smelled all of them in store as we made the table). I think my current fave is Window2Soul. I found the green one (Salted Muse) to be too forest-y and strong. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on the smell and lasting power!

Weight of 50ml Amouage bottle

I've got a chance to buy a 50ml Amouage, but since the bottle is opaque, the seller can't estimate how much is left other than by weight - 205g.

So, it would be great if someone knew how much either an empty or full 50ml bottle weighs, or has partial whose level and weight can be estimated.

Experiences with Hanae Mori HM?

Hi there,

I am considering purchasing Hanae Mori's HM EDP. Unfortunately, there is no decants or fragrance stores that have this piece in the country where I am (the Netherlands).

Hence, I was wondering if anyone who had experience with this fragrance could share his or hers opinions on it. Would you think it is wearable on summer evenings? And for what occassion would it be ok to wear it?

I also saw a few reviews saying that it is (too) youthful, if not even for teens only? What are you thoughts?

Many thanks in advance

What is the coolest fragrance bottle you own?

Mine is MAC Turquatic, it looks like a colorful little aquarium. I also bought Emilio Pucci Acqua years ago just for the bottle lol. What are your favorites (regardless of scent)?

Speaking of layering, can y'all recommend layering combos for me?

I bought a ton of samples, and most of them are either nice but I don't really feel the need to repurchase, or I didn't quite like but didn't find offensive so I'd like to use up the samples. I'll include the ones I loved and am considering full sized of as well. I would love if if y'all could suggest some layering combos so I can use these up. I'd also love to hear your recs for samples to try next, as I'm only a couple months into my fragrance journey! Also, sorry for the formatting I'm on mobile.

Where does fragrancenet.com usually deliver

So recently I bought some fragrances off of fragrancenet.com and I thought about it where do they deliver your package because I live in Florida where it's currently summer and my black metal mailbox gets extremely hot extremely fast so I want to know if they deliver to your door or your mailbox because if it's in my mailbox I'm gonna need to get it quickly

Help finding an old Aeropostale perfume?

Hi all!

When I was younger (maybe late 2000s or early 2010s), my older sister worked at both Aeropostale and Abercrombie & Fitch. For Christmas one year, she got my younger sister and I perfume sets from one of her places of employment. I am 95% sure that the sets came from Aeropostale. But they were solid perfumes that came in round tins (maybe about two inches in diameter) Each tin was a different scent and had its own tin color (there was a white, a blue, a light green, pink, etc. I cannot find any information on these perfumes ANYWHERE. They don’t come up on Google, eBay, etc.

Am I going crazy or does anyone else remember these?

Which recent release has given you the most compliments?

I see that usually the highest complimented fragrances are the classics ( aventus, blue de chanel etc.) that have been around for quite a while. Even though there is nothing wrong with these fragrances, I'd like to know your experience with more recent releases, let's say of the last 5-6 years. Of course it can either be a totally new fragrance or a flanker
