Favourite Perfumes #4

[PurpleOlive]

That one might have had a rebrand and new name

Well, it kinda needed it I guess

Did anyone ever order from 50ml.eu/.fr/.com ? Do you how long do they usually take to process your order ? (I know it's a legit website but my black friday order is taking too long for my taste )

I bought my daughter Libre (YSL) flowers and flames for her birthday, she was wearing it today and it's absolutely gorgeous. Hasn't got the heavy cloying base note that the original and the intense have. She's really pleased with it, and it's on offer in Boots.

Me.. I love by the fireplace. I love the smokiness which then turns into a smoky marshmallow

Dear everyone ,

I have failed in my no more perfume buys for 2024 quest.. I caved and bought Kilian - Apple Brandy on the rocks..

im not even sorry about it..I love it. Apple boozeyness . YUM

Has anyone tried the two new marks and Spencer discovery perfumes. One is called Warm Fig and the other is called Frosted Vanilla.

of the two I like warm fig more but haven’t bought either ( although I have been tempted). They are only £10 each so a bargain.

Quoting myself.. I am not regretting buying Apple Brandy on the rocks. I LOVE it. I have worn it a lot since I bought it a couple of weeks ago.

it’s been on rotation with angels share , by the fireplace and gris charnel .

Has anyone tried the Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt?

Everyone is raving about it. I tried it but it really didn’t smell like anything.

I got it as part of the mini set - initially thought the same as you, but its really grown on me!

Aldi Victoria Beckham perfume dupes are being released today

Has anyone tried Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth? I just got it for my teen sister for Christmas as she's asked for a vanilla perfume. I got her Ariana Grande Mod Vanilla last year and wanted something similar that's pretty much pure vanilla and suitable for a teen - almost went with Billie Eilish but decided against it because looking on Fragrantica that one seems more woody/spicy? And I'd feel awkward giving her that one when the bottle looks like... that (if you know you know) After some Googling the Sabrina Carpenter seemed like a safe bet for a teen and it wasn't too expensive compared to others (like the Kayali one - omg). The packaging is very cute too

I have it. It’s okay. It’s a wearable scent for a teen for sure. For me it wasn’t one way or the other enough. I’d have liked it being super sweet or more floral. It straddles the midline to be okay on anyone I guess though. The packaging is great and definitely teen appealing.
Good job I just reread as I’d had auto correct have to hate it. Definitely don’t hate it. I just like a bigger impact.

It was a good shout not to get Billie Eilish, I think it’s dreadful, like an old fashioned 80s heavy perfume. And the bottle is so tacky

Which one?

I’ve just got Ouai st Bart’s hair and body mist and I really like it, do they do a perfume of this? I’ve seen they do some others but just wondering and where I can try them.

Got a 90ml bottle of Sol de Janiero 59 in my lookfantastic advent calendar and it is just delicious. Does anyone have any perfume dupes for it? Seems like the top dupes are Phlur (can't afford) and Glossier which I wasn't madly impressed with

Which Phlur was it? If it’s vanilla skin, they do a body mist which has decent longevity and sillage. It’s wayyyy cheaper than the EDP.

Unfortunately not. But I think the spray lasts well. Try north bondi perfume from them. Really good.

Well my fellow perfume lovers, since 2024 is almost over (can you believe how fast it's gone by?! ) I thought I'd a review (badly ) some of my 2024 purchases that I've not mentioned. IMO far too many!

Quick shout of to Delina Exclusif for making me fall in love ❤ and yet break my heart at the same time for the €280 price!

Burberry Godess: Cozy and subtle and great for every day use. My husband really likes this on me but I don't seem to reach for it like my Burberry Hers. Lasts about 4 hours maybe on me.

Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia: Beautiful feminine floral. Unfortunately this is all I can say about it positively. The longevity is terrible and for the price point I can safely say I won't repurchase.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild: A recent purchase. I love it. It's a basic green fruity scent that will be thoroughly enjoyed in the spring and summer months. Probably lasts about 3 hours on me.

Versace Crystal Noir EDT: So many people were raving about this on Reddit. Apparently it was breeding material and yep it's great and definitely my husbands favourite scent on me. I reach for this on nights out with the girls.

SDJ 59: Was this the one that supposedly attracted spiders?! 🕷 Anyway I love the smell of it and think it's decent in both warmer and colder climates. Longevity like most SDJ don't last long unfortunately but still a fun scent.

Burberry Her EDP: Beautiful but I think I prefer the Elixir. I'm a true gourmand girl. Also love the pear note in a EDT tester I had. Lasts about 4 hours on me.

Cerutti 1881 EDT: Saw this in a chemist recently and had to repurchase instantly. This scent is like no other and takes me back to my youth. Very affordable. Will always repurchase for the sheer nostalgia!

D&G L'impertrice: A fruity cocktail with a strong kiwi [] note. It's okay, that's about it. Don't think I would repurchase.

Prada Paradoxe Intense: Tested all three of the Paradox ranges in the chemist after recently catching whiff of it on my cousin at a wedding at 2AM. Intense was my favourite. A real crowd pleaser IMO. Would definitely repurchase.

ZARA Shades of Nostalgia: purchased this last weekend but loving it so far. Strong kiwi note in it.

ZARA Nude Bouquet : A repurchase. Absolutely gorgeous. Supposedly a Miss DIOR Blooming Bouquet dupe. ZARA really are the best value for money on the market.

Elie Saab Le Parfum in White: Omg this is divine Longevity and silage is amazing. I would repurchase this a million times over. Would have worn this if I didn't wear Mon Guerlain on my wedding day.

Would love if you all could review your 2024 scents!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. HOPE YOU ALL GET SPOILT ROTTEN IN PERFUME HEAVEN!

I couldn't decide between Givenchy L'interdit and L'interdit Rouge Ultime for several months, so I just got both when the 25% off Boots Black Friday came on last month. 35ml each so I can alternate.

Todays scent was Pehaligon’s Luna which I had a sample of, absolutely nothing I can think of to say , I couldn’t really smell it and I wouldn’t buy it , disappointed

 

[CherryAcid]

I've been wearing a Halfetti dupe I bought earlier in the year. I always loved the smell of Penhaligons shops so was really disappointed when I didn't like it on me. Tried it again at the start of december and I am hooked. Definitely a cold weather, festive scent.
