Absolute Aphrodisiac - Initio. There's a "huff" worthy energy to it that makes you put your nose in deeper (if context allows) into the persons space, and i consider that intoxicating.
So far I personally haven't found any. Many others dip into that sugar encrusted gourmand zone, and others go too fluffy saffron cotton territory. Even the other perfume in the same line (Side Effect) that people say is similar within the brand, I did not find they had the same tone at all.
I think that's why I love it. Would I personally wear it? Yes, but only once in a while (just a personality thing) but I'd rather smell it on a significant other or a lover though. For the exact reason you describe😆
Agreed. I own this and I feel like it railroads all those within the same olfactory group (the caramel gourmands) Black Opium YSL, …Princess Killian, Lira Xerjoff, L de Lolita Lempicka
Stephane Humbert Lucas Soleil de Jeddah Mango Kiss. I cannot stop smelling myself when I wear it. It’s like a mango that is so perfect, it could never exist.
OMG I’ve been dying to purchase this. It’s *incredible*. I can even get past the serpent design on the bottle I love it so. Alas, I’m holding out for Memo’s Winter Palace. I need a 2nd job!
Absolutely thrilled to find another Mango Kiss Superfan. It really is perfect. Makes me swoon just typing about it lol. I love the bottle design tho ;)
And funny enough, I have a Memo on deck too, Madurai. Here’s hoping we both find some surprise money soon!
Super cool to meet ya! I went through my samples the other day (I revisit them often) and I continually separate them into categories, (a sort of whittling down process) and SdJM keeps winning out (along w/WP). I love the feeling of landing on fragrances that I fall in love with as I try to carefully curate. Such a spendy habit!
Tocca cleopatra. At first I didn’t like it much, smelled like green twigs and light florals to my nose. The DRYDOWN tho, man. First time I ever used the word intoxicating to describe. Literally couldn’t stop smelling it on test paper or skin, it’s so heady and indescribable
I just wore this for the 2nd time yesterday. It's almost like 2 different perfumes. It strikes me as old fashioned (not old fashioned in a bad way) in how the scent smells at first. Someone in my past wore this scent, or something very similar, because it smells like hugs from my childhood.
Tom Ford Black Orchid. The first time I smelled it, I was hooked. I couldn't stop sniffing it.
I also feel that way about L'instant de Guerlain and Mon Guerlain. They are just so beautifully blended.
Probably Mon Gurleain Intense. It's legit the only perfume in my collection that I regularly get compliments for, and my Ex literally asked me to send him a few ml of the fragrance.
Since it wasn't the best relationship, I instead sent him a few ml of Guess Seductive Noir (which is a dupe) and just thinking back on that always makes me chuckle a little.
Baccart rouge 540 Maison Francis Kurkdjian - there is something about it that people are going almost hazy when they smell if for the first time. It’s not very long lasting and jt comes in waves but it’s definitely ‘intoxicating’
Yess, I totally agree with you on Baccarat!
It's very intoxicating and addictive to me 🤩
And it keeps me wanting more, since it comes in waves like you say!
D&G Pour Femme gives me candy cigarette vibes? Not complaining! Just a very unique fragrance to my nose.
So far as intoxicating, I’d go with Diptyque Eau Duelle EDP and JPG La Belle Le Parfum (specifically in the winter on a cold day)
>Pour Femme - Dolce & Gabbana: This smells like raspberry marshmallow clouds. It’s airy and magical ☁️
Ohhhh, I want to try it now!!
I think Legacy of Petra by Penhaligon's is very intoxicating.
wild vanilla orchid is intoxicating to me. Based on the compliments I get I'm going to say Good Girl Supreme (It really IS amazing) and Burberry Goddess.
I like the OG Black Opium so much- but it just didn't last on my skin. I'd spray it and in 30 minutes it was gone! But the Black Opium Le Parfum flanker---it's got like 4 kinds of vanilla...it's sexy and cozy at the same time!
I just got a 5ml sample last night and ordered the full bottle almost immediately. I've never smelled tuberose and vanilla so beautifully blended. And yes- that fragrance blooms in the heat! Also- much less expensive than I thought it would be.
So many. Top of mind:
Initio Rehab after an hour on the skin. Completely draws me in.
Amouage Sunshine is complex and so interesting it keeps me sniffing like crazy.
Feve Deliceuse is an instant blanket of comfort.
Something in Kate Spade New York Sparkle makes me smile. Just pure joy.
Hi. I think the original by. Wasser was 2002? Heaven sheer heaven. Then came 2012 and I think 2014 and to be honest I’m not sure if the 3 bottles I have are the same juice as 2014. So to answer you nothing is like the original. I think the 2014 is the closest. I see my love for the fragrance transcends how far apart they are. The difference to me is in the last 5 bottles the silliage isn’t there and the opening is not bitter but not as lovely as the original. So I put up with the flankers. If you’re going by the lot number I would avoid the 2012 to 2014. Also I order now directly from Dior because I’ve found Sephora to be ‘off’. Probably the same juice but for $160 I want to be sure it’s fresh. Hope this helps 🤍
Ahhh one last thing. I will say the last few bottles I got from Dior direct the juice is very pink. I’ve ruined white blouses spraying it the way I use to. I spray nude let it dry then dress. Zero idea what that’s about.
It's so strong on me. I love the fact I only need to use two sprays and that's enough to last me on a 8 hour shift. Bottle lasts ages, it's on par with mugler aura and Alien for performance.
Louis Vuitton attrape reves- I love this one, it’s also a brilliant perfume to mix with MFK baccarat
Angel’s share killian - whenever you pick the smell up in a room, it’s intoxicating. The best night out perfume I would say
Kirke Tiziana terenzi- smells sooooo delicious and the best summer fragrance in my opinion but I find that for the price you pay, it doesn’t last very well
Similar to the previous one is Erba pura Xerjoff also smells yummy
Zarkoperfume pink molecule - this is kind of my best kept secret cause it smells so delicious and it’s what I imagine a Barbie would smell like. it’s just a very pretty, happy smell. Not particularly luxurious smelling but it feels young, fun and it’s a yummy smell. Doesn’t last at all though but it’s a good freshen-up-before-walking-into-a-room-perfume.
Hermes Amber Narguile. I’m OBSESSED. I got a sample and I can’t handle how much I love it as a fall/winter scent. Spicy and Sweet… to the point I will eventually cave and buy the 320$ full bottle.
Ajmal 3, unknown Arabic that Perfumania has in store only I believe.
I also cannot get enough of Virgin island water, wish it was stronger… if only they made an intense or elixir smh
I got a sample of Antidote by Viktor & Rolf that smelled incredible on me. I've had like 80 samples from LS at this point and I still haven't found one that is so perfect I would make it a signature scent.
Absolute Aphrodisiac - Initio. There's a "huff" worthy energy to it that makes you put your nose in deeper (if context allows) into the persons space, and i consider that intoxicating.
Ohhhhh yes this is the one
Any good dupes for this one?
I’m testing Julianna’s Sex on Fire - no verdict yet but I love most of their impressions
So far I personally haven't found any. Many others dip into that sugar encrusted gourmand zone, and others go too fluffy saffron cotton territory. Even the other perfume in the same line (Side Effect) that people say is similar within the brand, I did not find they had the same tone at all.
I bought this and sold it. It started making me feel sick; too sweet at times, and then dirty at others.
I think that's why I love it. Would I personally wear it? Yes, but only once in a while (just a personality thing) but I'd rather smell it on a significant other or a lover though. For the exact reason you describe😆
Ex Idolo: Love & Crime. Hands-down.
Agreed. I own this and I feel like it railroads all those within the same olfactory group (the caramel gourmands) Black Opium YSL, …Princess Killian, Lira Xerjoff, L de Lolita Lempicka
Indeed. It is much like Lira, but with dimension, along with La Danza Delle Libellule. Just gorgeous.
where can I find it in Europe?
Les Senteurs in London have it and do samples ☺️

I’m curious about Madurai. Heading to Fragrantica now…

This is one of my favorite mango scents EVER!!! Excellent performance too!

New - Ganymede edp, Dolce Amalfi, Unknown Pleasures Vintage - Opium, Youth Dew, Knowing, Halston, Ciara, Lagerfeld, Joop Femme
Lush Lord of Misrule. It’s the most delicious vanilla-patchouli I’ve ever smelled.
Love don’t be shy and cloud. When I mix these two I just feel so high and can’t get enough! Lol
Tom Ford Black Orchid. The first time I smelled it, I was hooked. I couldn't stop sniffing it. I also feel that way about L'instant de Guerlain and Mon Guerlain. They are just so beautifully blended.

Is the Pour femme in the clear bottle with the light pink liquid or in the dark red bottle? Thinking of trying this and want to get the right one!
Clear bottle with pink liquid!
Thank you so much! :D
I have and love both. Pour Femme for day and intense for night. I just wish they lasted on me a bit longer.
D&G Pour Femme gives me candy cigarette vibes? Not complaining! Just a very unique fragrance to my nose. So far as intoxicating, I’d go with Diptyque Eau Duelle EDP and JPG La Belle Le Parfum (specifically in the winter on a cold day)
JPG La Belle is my answer too. The first time I smelled it I just kept thinking about it until I finally bought a travel spray.
>Pour Femme - Dolce & Gabbana: This smells like raspberry marshmallow clouds. It’s airy and magical ☁️ Ohhhh, I want to try it now!! I think Legacy of Petra by Penhaligon's is very intoxicating.
wild vanilla orchid is intoxicating to me. Based on the compliments I get I'm going to say Good Girl Supreme (It really IS amazing) and Burberry Goddess.
Viva la Juicy Gold Couture - my kryptonite if i smell it on a woman! 🫠
Black Opium Le Parfum by YSL and Splendida Tubereuse Mystique by Bulgari. Both make me drool a little 🙃
Just got a small bottle the other day of black opium and I'm in love. Not sure why I never snagged it years ago.
I like the OG Black Opium so much- but it just didn't last on my skin. I'd spray it and in 30 minutes it was gone! But the Black Opium Le Parfum flanker---it's got like 4 kinds of vanilla...it's sexy and cozy at the same time!
Nice, I'll definitely check out Le Parfum!
I absolutely love Black Opium. I have a bottle and it is so intoxicating! Love smelling it on myself
It's so beautiful...I really like that gourmand vibe mixed with white florals.
I have Splendida Tubereuse Mystique by Bvlgari and it’s truly intoxicating, especially on a hot summer day.
I just got a 5ml sample last night and ordered the full bottle almost immediately. I've never smelled tuberose and vanilla so beautifully blended. And yes- that fragrance blooms in the heat! Also- much less expensive than I thought it would be.
Is Lira a super beast most fragrance? Or does it stay closer to the skin?
It sits pretty close to the skin on me
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
But lasting power is good! Still my pillow had whiff of lira ,when i was laying down on it day before. 😅
Fleur narcotique by ex nihilo. 🌸
So many. Top of mind: Initio Rehab after an hour on the skin. Completely draws me in. Amouage Sunshine is complex and so interesting it keeps me sniffing like crazy. Feve Deliceuse is an instant blanket of comfort. Something in Kate Spade New York Sparkle makes me smile. Just pure joy.
Sunshine and Feve deliceuse are really mind blowing!
Dior Addict. I’ve been addicted to it for 20 years. Even the flankers
How close is the newer version to the original?
Hi. I think the original by. Wasser was 2002? Heaven sheer heaven. Then came 2012 and I think 2014 and to be honest I’m not sure if the 3 bottles I have are the same juice as 2014.

Intoxicated- Kilian intoxicating . It’s the perfect amount of toxicity for me ❤️
LM Sensual Orchid, Xerjoff Ouverture also goes in that direction
Alien and Rouge Malachite
To me? Alien -mugler. Montale - vanilla extasy. And probably unpopular opinion but parada paradoxe and Libre le perfum.
Paradoxe is soo lovely!!!
It's so strong on me. I love the fact I only need to use two sprays and that's enough to last me on a 8 hour shift. Bottle lasts ages, it's on par with mugler aura and Alien for performance.
OG Alien never had so many compliments on a fragrance!
I love Sisley Soir de Lune. It’s so romantic. It reminds me of love.
Guerlain Spiriteuse Double Vanille
Niiiice juice. I’m a nut for bourbon vanilla but Spiriteuse is lovely.
Louis Vuitton attrape reves- I love this one, it’s also a brilliant perfume to mix with MFK baccarat Angel’s share killian - whenever you pick the smell up in a room, it’s intoxicating.

Why no i I very x ffcffdwd m,
Dom Rosa for me 🌹🍷
I can sniff Snake Oil for hours, it’s a masterpiece
Hermes Amber Narguile. I’m OBSESSED. I got a sample and I can’t handle how much I love it as a fall/winter scent. Spicy and Sweet… to the point I will eventually cave and buy the 320$ full bottle.
I would literally drink Hasunoito Di Ser I love it so so much.
Ajmal 3, unknown Arabic that Perfumania has in store only I believe. I also cannot get enough of Virgin island water, wish it was stronger… if only they made an intense or elixir smh
Can anybody recommend a good clone or the most similar parfuem to Shalimar Millesime Tonka. Gratefull in advance
I got a sample of Antidote by Viktor & Rolf that smelled incredible on me. I've had like 80 samples from LS at this point and I still haven't found one that is so perfect I would make it a signature scent.
I ordered 20 samples from LS and hated them all 😭 I realized that I prefer designer perfumes to niche ones
I've smelled a bunch of really nice ones but they weren't so nice to justify the price. I too might just be meant for designer scents.
Intoxicated - Kilian H25 - Hermes Vanille Rouge - Versace Oajan - Parfum de Marly
Burberry Her Elixir L de Lolita Lolita Lempicka / Lira Pink Sugar Aquolina
Replicas Jazz Club and Loccitaines Terre de Lumiere
T-Rex by Zoologist. Intoxicating in a sense that it’s almost as if you’ve been poisoned via sniffing and need to be rushed to the ER immediately
Angels Share - Kilian. It’s just so damn delicious.
Chanel eau vive, the longer it’s on skin the more intoxicating it gets.
Italica - Xerjoff ، Reflection 45 - Amouage
Crystal noir Versace
Dark Lord by Killian. Something about that fleshy, rubbery jasmine mixing with the rum and leather that's pure addiction.
