Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone has any fragrances with an incense accord they enjoy. I had a decant of Tam dao edt and while I do enjoy it, its quite boring and has terrible longevity on me (max 3 hours). also recently tried amouage interlude man and while I do also enjoy the incense in this the oregano and pepper in the opening throws me off and I also get this strange sweet kinda mayonnaise smell off of it? sorry haha i really dont know how to describe it but i did have to scrub it off. Jubilation XXV was much better but was very rich and sweet to my nose. thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Hello there! I dunno if this webpage is scam or legit “perfumesdelosoasis” is on tiktok too but i want to know

Last year seemed to be the year of pistachio, mango, tropical fruit in general and rice (the last one made me particularly happy).

Wonder what we think may be this year's big notes?

need help deciding between original or reform, thanks

Greetings to all, I hope this message finds you well,

Lately, I have been thinking of purchasing this particular fragrance, Moschino Toy Boy, since I loved the prominent rose note when I bought a decant a while back. Although, I am unsure if I should get a 100ml or a 50ml bottle. Yes, it is a beautiful and unique fragrance, but I just don't think that it could be a perfect daily fragrance. I am situated in a tropical country, and I am quite unsure if I should get a 100ml. What are your thoughts about this? Please let me know so that I can conclude and know what action I must take.

Always stay safe and stay fresh!

my girlfriend gave it to me today, interesting woody, masculine and mature take on the classic nautica voyage, and it does not have that “cucumber smell”

I think these launched a few days ago, and I’m smitten with the bell-jar bottle shape. Off the bat, I think they’re still licensed by Coty, but the $290 USD pricetag is insane. I understand positioning this new collection next to other Privee designer collections, but oof!

I just came back from trying them all out in the boutique near me. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised. I was delighted to go down the row and try each one. Overall, I was impressed with how realistic they were as a whole. Let me know if you’ve tried them yourself!

LEAF — Green and captures the trending tomato leaf note. Remarkably realistic like a snapped stem from the garden. It’s what Margiela’s From the Garden SHOULD I have smelled like.

MIEL — Again, a shockingly realistic depiction of honey. Arguably one of the polarizing ones since honey isn’t necessarily a crowdpleaser. I thoroughly enjoyed sniffing it though.

BLACK TEA — This one was less realistic. It has the feel of a Chinese teashop, but it’s not a 1:1 like the first two. This is actually the one I was most excited about. I tried it on the skin, and it’s quite nice. There’s a distinct cinnamon note. It smells a little bit autumnal with the spice, but not in a tacky way.

EARTH — A realistic bag of potting soil. Is that what people call geosmin? I think it heroes out mushroom as a note as well, and mushroom often has that distinctive earthy smell. My partner tried this one on the skin since it was his favorite, but it didn’t hit quite the same way.

COFFEA — A sweet latte, and initially, what I thought was a simple gourmand. I can see a lot of girls like this one. This was the second one I tried on the skin, and it ended up developing into something more tonka forward. It reminds me heavily of Diptyque’s recent Bois Corse, but milder.

SMOKE — A light-handed touch with smokey notes. I think smoke can be a little nauseating, but here, it’s airy and light. The inspo was laundry drying by the fireplace.

Does anyone know what this fragrance is? I got it as a gift, no box or branding and I’ve never seen it before. It smells light, fresh, clean and fruity. Any help appreciated!

I took a picture of the bottle here : https://imgur.com/a/hReE5pT

If you think that dupes aren't getting fak3d, you are very wrong. I live in SEA and the market is flooded with fak3 dupes.

A bottle of CDNIM goes for about $30-40 which is more than enough motivation for groups to fak3 them. Everything from eggs, rice, condoms, socks, underwear is fak3d. A popular $40 fragrance is definitely getting fak3d. You can YT the differences since I am not allowed to share YT links.

Not the sourness at the initial spray but just the driedown smell I want anyone please!!!

What niche fragrances do you wear in warm weather? (Spring/summer)

Will LV increase prices for their fragrances in February 2025?

What’re your guys’ experience with this one? I think it’s a winner in the mass appealing category. But I have noticed that the scent is more vibrant on paper than on skin? Idk if I need to buy a decant and spray at home instead of just spraying casually at the mall.

Love the balance between sweet, woody, and smoky vibes. What do you all think?

Let’s do a little experiment where we think of what frags our fav movie or TV characters would’ve gravitated towards.

I’m now curious what Walter White would’ve worn, perhaps how his cologne choices would’ve changed throughout his transformation into Heisenberg.

What did Tony Stark, E.T., Tyler Durden/Edward Norton from Fight Club, Colonel Hans Landa, Django, The Joker, Ray Liotta from Goodfellas, Margot Robbie from Wolf of Wall Street, etc… wear?

(Ps, time frame of frag existence doesn’t matter relative to the movie the character was in, just do whatever frags you want)

I’ll start…. Tyler Durden didn’t use spray cologne, he mixed Secretions Magnifiques by Etat Libre d’Orange into his soaps and lathered himself in a bath.

I did a dumb thing and bought some perfume on eBay. It was a reliable seller with good reviews but I don’t know if it went bad or something??

It smells like rubbing alcohol at first and then settles into smelling like carmex chapstick. It’s AWFUL. I’ve sprayed it on different people (sorry kids) and clothing and paper towels and it smells the same everywhere. Does perfume go bad? Or is this what it normally smells like (because I’m also someone who blind buys perfume…)?

I’m huge fan of patchouli and continue to search for a stronger patchouli fragrance. Perfumes that were once patchouli bombs to me no longer have that earthy spicy patchouli musk to it anymore. I’m wondering if I’m becoming anosmic to patchouli now and how do I fix this?

What are your favorite scents that are clean/fresh but also elegant?

I'd like something for special occasions that isn't super heavy.

Some faves currently:

Chloé YSL Mon Paris Nest Indigo Mugler Alien Goddess

I also like YSL Black Opium Over Red but I don't think it has quite the vibe I'm looking for.

Main accords:

Sweet Floral Powdery Amber Woody Soft spicy Fruity Lavender Warm Spicy Aquatic

Has anyone smelled this? Wondering if anyone has and if so, does anyone know of a scent that is like lipstick, hairspray, violet, vinyl, rubber, leather? It was so special! I know there are “lipstick” or cosmetic scents out there but this was more nuanced and …strange.

The closest I got was mixing Hiram Green’s Vivacious with Moth and Rabbit’s La Haine.

Are there any good affordable dupes or alternatives for grand soir? I love fragrances…. but not enough to splurge that amount of money on my collection

I really love the amber

Does anybody remember it? So many memories wearing this one and I’m really missing it. It’s so distinct. Anybody know anything even close?

Hi all! Recently, when I ordered my last bottle of Burberry Her from Maxaroma, they sent a sample of Blend Oud Hour EDP. I absofuckinglutely LOVE the scent of it, to my surprise as i’ve never ventured into gender neutral scents such as that one. That being said, its longevity is crap😭 After like five hours the scent is already gone from my skin and my clothes. Does anybody have any similar scents that they love that last all day??

Here are the notes 🔽🔽

Top Notes Pineapple Hyacinth Middle Notes Iris Pink Pepper Jasmine

Base Notes Patchouli Vanilla Amber Vetiver Musk

Thanks in advance!

I feel like this was the last of their first and last limited edition release of the light blue line that was actually good and it miss it so much. No matter who I talk to at makeup counters it is always a mystery if a similar fragrance actually exists. Even the scent catalogues indicate there is nothing other than light blue itself that is a close enough match. I am desperate for answers! Anyone get further along in this wild goose chase than me?

Searching for a fragrance that is not hated by anyone

Hi all,

I have a strangely specific request: I’m trying to find a body wash that smells like either Philosophy Pure Grace Nude Rose or Dyptique Lombre Dans L’eau.

My boyfriend is neurodivergent and can’t stand using an actual fragrance, as he finds it distracting, and even the one that he likes (Dyptique) turned out to be unwearable to him. He however recently stumbled upon a bottle of Philosophy Pure Grace Nude Rose 3 in one body wash I bought on sale and went through a bottle of it really quickly, as it made him feel extra fresh and nice before work. However, I now can’t find this one on sale anywhere, I think it’s no longer available. Dyptique also doesn’t have a body wash version of regular fragrances, afaik.

So, does anyone by any chance know any body wash that is similar to any of two fragrances that he likes? I’m trying to find it as a small gift for our anniversary.

Thank you!

I just popped into Le Labo, and they said Eucalyptus 20 is being released tomorrow, but they had a bottle behind the counter and let me spray it on. The opening is cool from the titular note and a hint of mint (not listed online, but the sales associate confirmed it’s in there). I’m not familiar with hyssop and red thyme, but I think they were the ones responsible for a pleasantly aromatic, slightly spicy touch alongside the cooler notes and cedar. Overall, it’s settling into a warm fragrance with the cedar, labdanum, and olibanum quite pronounced but balanced with some lingering coolness from the eucalyptus. (The cedar also feels like not just the wood but also the needles, but maybe that bit of lingering greenness comes from other things.)

It reminds me of being at Ten Thousand Waves, a Japanese-inspired spa outside Santa Fe.

Does anyone know any Perfumes dupes of Saltair Lagoona? Ones that have notes like bergamot, black currant, grapefruit and ozonic musks that capture a warm, tropical escape. Or at least have ozonic musk, sunny grapefruit, fizzy bergamot as it's key notes? I'll even take a mist or body lotion that smells similar.

You guys genuinely don't understand. Idk how much I can stress this. I smelled amouage interlude yesterday with my best friend on call and it is genuinely the best fragrance I've ever smelt EVER. It reminds me of my childhood when I used to go to mosque with my friends and it smells like burnt wood and literally anything dark in the best way possible. No words can explain how much I love this, I keep going back to my sample and just smelling it. I wish I had enough money to buy the actual one. I didn't buy 53 because I was scared that it was gonna smell bad and still be really really strong and I'd just hate the way my room smells for a week. It was the opposite, when I hopefully get a job this is gonna be one of the things I save up for. I think it compliments me really well also!!! Also, my friend got amouage interlude 53 and we are both leaving some for each other cause he said he would like it more if it was weaker and I said I'd like it more if it was stronger lol.

Ps we got the samples from fragrancesamplesuk

Edit: I just remembered how offensive this smell is, this isn't a fragrance that everyone will be ok with, this is either you heavily love it or hate it. I made my sister smell it and she hated it yesterday, but today she smelt it again and looooved it. I made my dad smell it 2 days ago and he loved it but loved it more yesterday when he smelt it again. My mum didn't like it and still doesn't like it at all. I loooooooove it and so does my best friend. I can see why people would hate it tho. Anyways yeah thanks for reading

just wanted to let people know that there are a ton of ebay listings cropping up claiming to sell YSL Le Parfum for a large discount. The packages I am receiving from a few different listings/sellers are all the same wrong product which makes me think this is an organized scam of some sort. They are sending what seems to be a YSL La Nuit De L'homme Le Parfum which is super similar packaging (who knows if it is even genuine).

Anyway, save your time. avoid it!

EDIT: initiation of return process is being met with very shady "we will replace the product in but it takes 60 days to ship". looks like they are trying to defer action past the "accepted return date"...

Hey everyone,

My situation: I ordered a 70ml Eau de Toilette from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, with a personalized engraving and selected gifts. I was really looking forward to it! However, when my package arrived and I opened it, I discovered that instead of my actual order, I had received a hair oil.

Naturally, I was very disappointed. So, I immediately contacted customer service via email. After several days of back-and-forth communication and an internal review by the logistics department, I was informed that I would receive a new package with the correct item and that I should return the incorrectly delivered product—return costs covered.

I thought, Great, that should resolve the issue! However, when the second package arrived, I was disappointed once again to find that I had received the wrong items again—this time, two sample sets (each containing four samples) and a mini scented candle as compensation.

So, I contacted customer service again on the same day, but I haven’t received any response since then.

Now I’m feeling a bit uncertain: Will I ever receive my actual order? How should I proceed in this situation? Has anyone here had a similar experience and can offer some advice?

Thanks in advance for your help!
