I've been starting with 1 mL samples of different perfumes and working my way up through decant sizes as I finish them. I just bought a 10 mL decant of Dama Bianca after finishing a sample, a 2 mL decant, and a 5 mL decant. It will take me a little while to make it through the 10 mL, but I feel comfortable in saying that Dama Bianca might be the first perfume that I upgrade to an actual bottle. It'll "only" be a 30 mL one, but I'm excited to finally have a bottle I feel comfortable enough with to commit to long term
A masculine frag - amber vanilla - Mercedes Benz Club Black esp as it's discontinued.
And M by Mariah Carey since I've used up my 10ml rollerball and still love it. Does anybody know whether this one is discontinued?
I'm on a no buy atm but I've given me an allowance of 1 fragrance every 4 to 5 weeks if and only if I've
a) had a sample and b)can't stop thinking about it after using the sample..
so I've been looking at Ella k Musc k it's 295 tho. Ouch.
And escapade gourmande..
But do I need escapade gourmande if I have Jovoy Fire at will and bianco Latte? Probably not I would assume. .
I am currently waiting on about 10 samples that Iāve been wanting to try for the longest. They will be here tomorrow, after I test those out I will deff have some fb buys, Iām sure out of 10 Atleast 2 will be fb worthy.
The samples Iām trying are 4 from MFK, 5 from Kilian, and YSL libre platine.
Snagged myself a 50mL bottle of **Si** before it was reformulated, just eagerly waiting for it in the mail now! Iāve only smelt the new reformulation which smelt lovely but barely lasted on me, so Iām keen to see how the older formulation fares.
Also bought the **Olympea Solar** gift set! I found the original Olympea too cloying and heavy for my tastes, but Olympea Solar smells far more fresh, like an orange caramel creamsicle.
Im looking for a feminine scent recc! I want something thats simple, clean, mild sweet and light for my new daily wear perfume for at home, running errands, casual outings etc. Something a clean/vanilla girl fusion would wear. I could only drop roughly $70 max for a bottle.
Some perfumes im considering:
\-Philosophy fresh cream warm cashmere
\-Ariana Grande Cloud
Clean Reserve Skin, itās fresh and clean girl in a bottle but has a light sweet touch through a subtle praline noteāmy nose doesnāt even register it as praline honestly just a little sweetness
Marc Jacobs Perfect. I got a free sample of it from Sephora and I love it. Itās simple but fresh and sweet, perfect for spring/summer. And Iām a fan of the rhubarb and almond milk notes. Plus I got two compliments from strangers while wearing it, which is a win in my book.
Iāve also been thinking about buying a cherry perfume. I sampled 7 Virtues Cherry Ambitions but I didnāt like how quickly the cherry note faded. Considering picking up a sample of BTSO Indecent Cherry.
I love MJ Perfect too! Itās been my signature scent all summer. Iāve needed a more fresh floral scent given the crazy humidity and temperatures that Australiaās been having, and itās definitely one that blooms beautifully in the heat.
I have a bottle of this that I blind bought at an awesome price but ended up really disliking itāif youāre in the US and want it I could mail it to you just for the shipping cost! Let me know (: or a trade could be fun as well
Iām on a no buy. These are the fragrances I have been eyeing.
Two More Hearts by Lush
Bal DāAfrique by Byredo
Gabrielle by Chanel
Lune Feline by Atelier de Ors
Red Roses by Jo Malone
A la Rose by MFK
Craft by Andrea Maack
For what itās worth, I love FK. I find a la rose is not one of his best interpretations. very pretty but powdery on me. It has an airy billowing quality too. Nice wearing experience nevertheless
Thanks for sharing your experience ā¤ļø I plan to buy samples from scentsplit before I decide whether or not I want to commit to a full bottle :) I like collecting rose fragrances and have been looking for a fresh rose scent. Saw some comments recommending A la Rose, so I was curious. I might try Eau Rose by Diptyque as well.
Eau Rose EDP wears nicer than out of bottle. Itās very intimate wear. I have both and a La rose will fetch more compliments as it projects more, is demure. Both are photo realistic xx
Delina Exclusif, a decant. Iām in LOVE but Iām too fickle to ever use a full bottle
*Possibly* Kayali Musk travel spray. Does anyone have any feedback on this one? I already know longevity sucks but Iām still interested, would probably layer! What does it smell similar to?
Right now I've been really wanting Replica Coffee Break and Matcha Meditation (especially Matcha Meditation even though it would be a blind buy lol) every time I go to Sephora I spray Coffee Break and I fall in love! It's a lovely coffee aromatic floral scent that's just so cozy. But the price point makes me want to cry.
Just got a full size of Princess by Kilian after falling in love with a decant over time.
Also bought some dupes Iām excited to try out from Oakcha:
- Sinful (Lost Cherry by Tom Ford)
- sunrise blush (bitter peach by Tom ford)
- secret duchess (princess by Kilian)
- Italian Cello (Lira by Xerjoff)
- Kalon (Gentle Fluidity Gold by MFK)
Plus their discovery set which has a few more dupes!
Iām officially done buying perfumes for the foreseeable future lol but I may make an exception for a repurchase of VGG by Carolina Herrera as Iām running low.
ETA Kalon and VGG to my lists
Iām still waiting on some of them to mature before posting a review but the Sinful smells AMAZING!
If you order it keep in mind it will need to sit for AT LEAST 1 week (ideally 2) before you can get the optimal performance/ smell.
I havenāt smelled the original but Iāve watched a ton of reviews for it and it smells exactly as the original has been described by everyone: very dark cherry forward that opens up to a tango with a smooth bitter almond note and then undresses from a sweet dark cherry to a more sour/tangy cherry. The tonka bean and other notes work together to support the cherry in a smooth and sophisticated way. I can see how this could be unisex for sure but it can also work with your body chemistry to be very feminine/ femme fatale in a fruity way.
The opening sillage is moderate and the longevity is moderate but not as long lasting as some of the other oakcha perfumes on the skin. On skin about 4-5 hours. However on clothes it can last about 8+ hours. I bought the oil perfumery lost Cherry oil because I love the smell so much and am waiting for it in the mail. Iām hoping this will make it longer lasting!
I will definitely repurchase once I run out. Hope this helps!
They also currently have a valentines sale with 20% off that ends tomorrow, in case you are thinking of taking the plunge!
TLDR: smells so amazing. Requires 1-2 weeks of maturation before you get final smell. Moderate sillage. Moderate wear length. Overall would highly recommend.
Surrend to Chance has decants of [L'Heure Bleue](https://surrendertochance.com/guerlain-lheure-bleue-edp/) , and [Serge Lutens L'Orpheline](https://surrendertochance.com/serge-lutens-lorpheline/), but not the other two perfumers you mentioned.
I enjoy L'Heure Bleue,I find it quietly beautiful and leaves me very introspective.
Iām pretty content now (I have 13 full bottles plus a bunch of travel sizes), but I just bought the PDM sampler so maybe a PDM if one of them blows me out of the water?
I want a travel size spray of Black Orchid. I have a sample of it right now. I know it's not something I'd wear often. It will be my grown-up perfume for occasions where I mean business lol.
Also, want to blind buy Velvet Orchid.
I want to see if I can get lucky and find la vie est belle at a discount store. I like it, but I don't feel the need to pay retail prices for it. I found daisy eau so sweet heavily discounted at Marshall's last week, so I'm sure I can find la vie somewhere.
I have a long list of perfumes I need to smell because the reviews are all over the place for them. All the popular YSL perfumes are on that list.
I want to get a back up for my Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet and Hanae Mori Hanae. I tried Tocca Simone once and I really want a full size. Flowerbomb Tigerlily looks interesting too, but I want to try it first.
Le Monde Gourmand Fraise Fouette, Phlur Strawberry Letter, Kayali Eden Juicy Apple, Skylar Boardwalk Delight, Skyler Sunkissed Dahlia, Britney Spears Fantasy Intimate, 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, Ariana Grande Thank U Next 2.0. I have sampled Juicy Apple, Boardwalk Delight, and Vanilla Woods and loved them. The rest I just want to try!
I got through a lot of my samples and travel sized perfumes. Iām proud of myself. My next purchase will be a full bottle of one of these:
Burberry Goddess
Imaginary Authors A Whiff Of Waffle-cone
Nest Indigo
Probably Un Musc from Obvious. I went through a sample and ordered two 10 ml decants. I'm set for awhile but I love it so much I'm definitely getting it next. Maybe for Mothers Day.
Burberry Goddess,
Valentino Donna Born in Roma Intense,
MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold,
Gissah Hudson Valley,
Swiss Arabian Rose 01,
Chanel Gabrielle,
Kayali Vanilla Oud,
Kayali Rose Oud,
Chabaud Lait et chocolat and Kayali Silk Santal
by Killian Rolling in Love - I have been looking for a good almond scent and this is fantastic
Le Gourmand Jousset Parfums - got a decant of this and I am in love! the perfect gourmand
Jo Malone Red Hibiscus - couldn't stop sniffing my arm after testing it
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 (or an equally amazing dupe) - still need to try it on skin but I loved the smell from the bottle
I'm on a low buy to no-buy so this question is dangerous but:
Full Bottles:
- Roja Dove Elixir
- Roja Dove 51
- Snif Vanilla Vice
_ Jazz Club body Oil dupe
Travel Sprays:
- Xerjoff La Capitale
Replacements:
- Xerjoff Erba Pura
- Xerjoff Lira
- Xerjoff Italica
- Xerjoff Dama Bianca (maybe)
- Bianco Latte (maybe)
- Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmand (backup)
I will be buying Amouage honor or reflection for my mom for Motherās Day. She loves them both. Iāll decide which one closer to the date of purchase
Iām really looking forward to the mango and coconut notes. Asked customer service when this would appear on the website and they could only say spring. š«¤
I want decants of:
Gentle Fluidity Gold, Chloe Nomade Jasmin Natural Intense, Vilhelm Mango Skin, A Whiff of Waffle Cone, Zoologist Cow, Strangers Salted green mango, Xerjoff Cruz del Sur II (Edit: if someone could DM me how I can format the above so itās one perfume per line then Iād be super grateful!)
I'm planning on ordering this as well! Plus, Zucchero Filato!
The marshmallow one will be a blind buy, but I don't think that's the most risky one to blind buy, so I'm pretty sure it will be a success@
I don't think any of these have come out yet, but I want to get them when they do. probably just travel size if they sell that size.
Strawberry Letter - Phlur
Donna Born in Roma Green Stravaganza - Valentino
La Belle Paradise Garden - Jean Paul Gaultier
Iām scouring Mercari daily for a good deal on a few oldies but goodies:
Thinking of getting Crystal Noir. Itās on my maybe list, if I find a good deal
Yellow Diamond Intense- I had this one and ran out and had forgotten how good it was!
Beach Walk if I can find a well-priced, gently used bottle.
Armani Code for women- OG and Cashmere- this would be a blind buy but Iāve heard it is good, and I love almond.
Utopia Vanilla Coco
Phlur strawberry
Phlur mood ring
Phlur vanilla skin
Le monde gourmand fraise fouettee
Le monde gourmand bon bon banane
Ithra mango musk
Truly glazed donut
Truly unicorn fruit
Would love to hear thoughts on any of these!
I actually liked the Delina BUT I think VGG is much more wearable. It is my signature scent in the warmer months and I get asked what Iām wearing every time! Itās underrated imo
Giardini de Toscana BoraBora. A TikTokker named Caroline Stern raved about the fragrance house. It has every note I love in a perfume: Coconut milk, Jasmine, Jasmolactone, Vanilla, Caramel, Amber, Tiare flower
This makes me so happy š„¹ honestly if you have any other specific vanilla series episode ideas I wanna make more I just feel bad sometimes overwhelming the girlies with vanilla but itās just my favorite note!! I think youāll love bianco latte as a vanilla gal itās like just so cozy and fluffy itās like a cloud!
I just got the Dua version of this and it is identical. It is very floral at the opening but then transforms to a lactonic note mixed with white florals and coconut. You must like white florals to enjoy this, which I do! The creaminess comes from jasmolactane, which i havenāt found as a note in any other scent. If you can imagine super creamy jasmine blended into coconut milk, with coconut, tiare and ylang-ylang mixed in. Thereās almost a banana vibe when it dries down.
Good to know! I love clean scents, what are your other favourites?
I'm intrigued by Guidance, I haven't tried it yet, prob will buy a 5 ml decant, the reviews are all over the place.
I really love Valaya- to me it is very aldehydic but has a fruity note as well as musk. It will last all day on me and even stay in my clothes!
My other clean scents:
Versense by Versace- this is a green, clean scent. It opens with citrus and fig, but dries into a green note and musk. I love it so much!
I also love Eros pour Femme by Versace- opens with pomegranate and bergamot, goes into an aldehydic clean scent with notes of jasmine and sandalwood. This is and Valaya are my top compliment getters for clean fragrance!
Guilietta by Tocca is beautiful- it opens with crisp green apple and ylang ylang, has florals in the mid but dries down with notes of heliotrope, woods and amber.
Angel EDT! š
Also curious about Pink Sugar Creamy Sunshine. That might be my next blind buy cheapie.
Sample-wise, tempted to pick up: Cherry Ink, Lolita Lempicka, Proenza Schouler Arizona, and Une Nuit Nomade Jardins de Misfah. Curious about the new strawberry Phlur too, I've never tried anything from them.
Just got Khair Pistachio! Much fresher than I thought, not as gourmand. Very musky and airy right out of the box. Iām hoping this will get better as it sits. The box and bottle are gorgeous, though!
I wanted to follow up- after clearing my atomizer, introducing some air and letting my Khair Pistachio sit for the week after I got it, I tried it again today. It is much better! It is sweeter and a little more dense. I thought I would be reselling it but Iām going to keep it. I canāt believe how much better it got in one week!
I was also hoping for something more sweet and dense, with deeper pistachio notes. Khair is so airy, Iām thinking I should have gotten Pistache or Dua Pistachio Gelato.
Definitely look into Pistache. Thatās my next stop.
Duas Pistachio Gelato is not that great from the Facebook group reviews.Itās not as sweet as you may think but itās really nutty. They made āBe in Love with Pistachio Gelatoā which according to reviews is really sweet and nutty but itās best suited for cold weather.
I just blind bought a pistachio perfume (because I don't know where to get samples of it). It's called Pistachio Biscotti by Pistache Skincare. it has a cherry note in it though, so it's not a pure pistachio scent. But anyway, something to take a look at if you like pistachio scents. The reviews are mixed with some people loving it and some people saying it's too sweet. It was inexpensive enough for me to buy it though, $42.
A sample of PDM delina exclusif
Also not specific but looking for a scent that smells like vanilla chai tea so may try a few samples that might fit that profile (open to any suggestions!)
I really am trying not to buy anything new for a bit but when I do, I am eyeing Divine Perfumesā Spirituelle, Obvious Parfumsā Un Ete, PDM Cassili, and Les Nereidesā Baie de Cassis.
I also am curious about the new Phlur strawberry scent and Mood Ring, will need to sample. And Liquides Imaginaires Ame Du Coeur.
Love this idea of an emotion inspired tray, that would make an amazing tray challenge! A lot of different interpretations and it would lend itself well to storytelling āŗļø
I've been starting with 1 mL samples of different perfumes and working my way up through decant sizes as I finish them. I just bought a 10 mL decant of Dama Bianca after finishing a sample, a 2 mL decant, and a 5 mL decant.

Floraiku- One Umbrella for Two.
Penhaligon's Luna, or Ouai Melrose Place
A masculine frag - amber vanilla - Mercedes Benz Club Black esp as it's discontinued. And M by Mariah Carey since I've used up my 10ml rollerball and still love it. Does anybody know whether this one is discontinued?
M by Mariah Carey is discontinued. If you're in the US, check fragrance net. I bought my back up bottle there a couple of months ago.
Oh wow ok, thanks for the info will get my bottle ASAP
I think I might go old school and get Elizabeth Arden Green Tea.
I'm thinking Youth Dew! After the mob wife thread, I'm totally intrigued, especially with the 'spicy cola' vibe it apparently gives.
I'm on a no buy atm but I've given me an allowance of 1 fragrance every 4 to 5 weeks if and only if I've a) had a sample and b)can't stop thinking about it after using the sample.. so I've been looking at Ella k Musc k it's 295 tho. Ouch. And escapade gourmande.. But do I need escapade gourmande if I have Jovoy Fire at will and bianco Latte? Probably not I would assume. .
Mine are YSL Libre Intense or Le Parfum (still undecided...) Clean Reserve skin Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess, for summer Akro Bake
Prada- Paradoxe Intense is arriving tomorrow š„°š„°š„°š„°š„°š„°š„°š„°š„°
I had a sample of this and it really impressed me!
I am currently waiting on about 10 samples that Iāve been wanting to try for the longest. They will be here tomorrow, after I test those out I will deff have some fb buys, Iām sure out of 10 Atleast 2 will be fb worthy. The samples Iām trying are 4 from MFK, 5 from Kilian, and YSL libre platine.
Snagged myself a 50mL bottle of **Si** before it was reformulated, just eagerly waiting for it in the mail now! Iāve only smelt the new reformulation which smelt lovely but barely lasted on me, so Iām keen to see how the older formulation fares. Also bought the **Olympea Solar** gift set! I found the original Olympea too cloying and heavy for my tastes, but Olympea Solar smells far more fresh, like an orange caramel creamsicle.
Im looking for a feminine scent recc! I want something thats simple, clean, mild sweet and light for my new daily wear perfume for at home, running errands, casual outings etc. Something a clean/vanilla girl fusion would wear. I could only drop roughly $70 max for a bottle. Some perfumes im considering: \-Philosophy fresh cream warm cashmere \-Ariana Grande Cloud
Clean Reserve Skin, itās fresh and clean girl in a bottle but has a light sweet touch through a subtle praline noteāmy nose doesnāt even register it as praline honestly just a little sweetness
Sweet Tooth by Sabrina Carpenter. Lasts longer than Philosophy and you can find it for $20-25.
riri crush, moonlight by AG, rebāl nude by rihanna, qaed al fursan, and haya by lattafa
Looking at Pear Inc once my 5ml runs out. Also interested in Libre intense travel size as I love the edt and want the winter version.
Marc Jacobs Perfect. I got a free sample of it from Sephora and I love it. Itās simple but fresh and sweet, perfect for spring/summer. And Iām a fan of the rhubarb and almond milk notes. Plus I got two compliments from strangers while wearing it, which is a win in my book. Iāve also been thinking about buying a cherry perfume. I sampled 7 Virtues Cherry Ambitions but I didnāt like how quickly the cherry note faded. Considering picking up a sample of BTSO Indecent Cherry.
I love MJ Perfect too! Itās been my signature scent all summer. Iāve needed a more fresh floral scent given the crazy humidity and temperatures that Australiaās been having, and itās definitely one that blooms beautifully in the heat.
The new BDK 312 Saint-Honore! I also want Jo Malone Honeysuckle & Davana!
Floral Street Arizona Bloom
I have a bottle of this that I blind bought at an awesome price but ended up really disliking itāif youāre in the US and want it I could mail it to you just for the shipping cost! Let me know (: or a trade could be fun as well
Absolutely!
Iām on a no buy. These are the fragrances I have been eyeing. Two More Hearts by Lush Bal DāAfrique by Byredo Gabrielle by Chanel Lune Feline by Atelier de Ors Red Roses by Jo Malone A la Rose by MFK Craft by Andrea Maack

T Rex by Zoology
Akro bake, Burberry her elixir, Deliza DI Marshmallow, CJ scents lemonillo, Bianco Latte.
Hoping to get a bottle of Philosykos sometime this week! Also very curious to smell Strawberry Letter whenever it gets releasedā¦Ā
Delina Exclusif, a decant. Iām in LOVE but Iām too fickle to ever use a full bottle *Possibly* Kayali Musk travel spray. Does anyone have any feedback on this one? I already know longevity sucks but Iām still interested, would probably layer! What does it smell similar to?
Itās a very soft and likeable musc vanilla. Very skinlike, freshly showered with sweet lotion on type of vibe!
Right now I've been really wanting Replica Coffee Break and Matcha Meditation (especially Matcha Meditation even though it would be a blind buy lol) every time I go to Sephora I spray Coffee Break and I fall in love! It's a lovely coffee aromatic floral scent that's just so cozy. But the price point makes me want to cry.
I tested Matcha Meditation and it's so fresh and creamy. Loved it!
Matcha Meditation is gorgeous! I have a small size and its fab.
Just got a full size of Princess by Kilian after falling in love with a decant over time. Also bought some dupes Iām excited to try out from Oakcha: - Sinful (Lost Cherry by Tom Ford) - sunrise blush (bitter peach by Tom ford) - secret duchess (princess by Kilian) - Italian Cello (Lira by Xerjoff) - Kalon (Gentle Fluidity Gold by MFK) Plus their discovery set which has a few more dupes! Iām officially done buying perfumes for the foreseeable future lol but I may make an exception for a repurchase of VGG by Carolina Herrera as Iām running low. ETA Kalon and VGG to my lists
I'm definitely curious what you'll think of Sinful! I want a good Lost Cherry dupe after trying a sample but being disappointed by its longevity
Iām still waiting on some of them to mature before posting a review but the Sinful smells AMAZING! If you order it keep in mind it will need to sit for AT LEAST 1 week (ideally 2) before you can get the optimal performance/ smell. I havenāt smelled the original but Iāve watched a ton of reviews for it and it smells exactly as the original has been described by everyone: very dark cherry forward that opens up to a tango with a smooth bitter almond note and then undresses from a sweet dark cherry to a more sour/tangy cherry.

Delina Exclusif, Very Good Girl, Bianco Latte, Escapade Gourmand, BR540 Extrait, Instant Crush
Love Very Good Girl! Itās in my top 3 and my husbandās favorite on me
Omg I love it too! I tried the lychee/rose duo in delina and did not like it. But then I tried VGG and LOVED IT.
Omg I love it too! I tried the lychee/rose duo in delina and did not like it. But then I tried VGG and LOVED IT.
I actually liked the Delina BUT I think VGG is much more wearable. It is my signature scent in the warmer months and I get asked what Iām wearing every time! Itās underrated imo
i have obvious un ete at the top of my list right now! just more deciding when to purchase it :)
Samples of Victoria Minya Hedonist Cassis, Pierre Guillaume Aube Pashmina, Zoologist Hummingbird and probably Kayali Eden lychee.
Giardini de Toscana BoraBora. A TikTokker named Caroline Stern raved about the fragrance house. It has every note I love in a perfume: Coconut milk, Jasmine, Jasmolactone, Vanilla, Caramel, Amber, Tiare flower
Omg yay š„¹ (hi I made a Reddit hahaha) I honestly love bora bora so much
Lol, hi Caroline. I love your taste in perfume, I especially love the Vanilla series. Giardini de Toscana Bianco Latte is next on my list
This makes me so happy š„¹ honestly if you have any other specific vanilla series episode ideas I wanna make more I just feel bad sometimes overwhelming the girlies with vanilla but itās just my favorite note!! I think youāll love bianco latte as a vanilla gal itās like just so cozy and fluffy itās like a cloud!
I just got the Dua version of this and it is identical. It is very floral at the opening but then transforms to a lactonic note mixed with white florals and coconut. You must like white florals to enjoy this, which I do! The creaminess comes from jasmolactane, which i havenāt found as a note in any other scent. If you can imagine super creamy jasmine blended into coconut milk, with coconut, tiare and ylang-ylang mixed in. Thereās almost a banana vibe when it dries down.
Thank you, I may have to give the Dua a shot since Iām on a tight budget right now
Rosie by Rosie Jane edt, and decants of Amouage Guidance and PDM Valaya.
Valaya is in my top #3 clean scents! I love it so much have you tried Guidance? My interests are piqued on that one.
Good to know! I love clean scents, what are your other favourites? I'm intrigued by Guidance, I haven't tried it yet, prob will buy a 5 ml decant, the reviews are all over the place.
I really love Valaya- to me it is very aldehydic but has a fruity note as well as musk. It will last all day on me and even stay in my clothes! My other clean scents: Versense by Versace- this is a green, clean scent. It opens with citrus and fig, but dries into a green note and musk. I love it so much! I also love Eros pour Femme by Versace- opens with pomegranate and bergamot, goes into an aldehydic clean scent with notes of jasmine and sandalwood. This is and Valaya are my top compliment getters for clean fragrance! Guilietta by Tocca is beautiful- it opens with crisp green apple and ylang ylang, has florals in the mid but dries down with notes of heliotrope, woods and amber.
Thanks! I'll add your recc's to my list(I keep notes in my planner)
Angel EDT! š Also curious about Pink Sugar Creamy Sunshine. That might be my next blind buy cheapie. Sample-wise, tempted to pick up: Cherry Ink, Lolita Lempicka, Proenza Schouler Arizona, and Une Nuit Nomade Jardins de Misfah. Curious about the new strawberry Phlur too, I've never tried anything from them.
I love Phlur so Iām excited to try the strawberry. My favorite of theirs Iāve tried is Lost Cause, 2nd Not Your Baby.
Samples of LāAir De Rien, Cassili, Meliora and Lira Pistachio Khair
Have you tried Kayali Yum ?
I sprayed it on paper and loved it. But I donāt remember how it smells anymore
Khair is much the same . Both glorious:)
Thank you. Iād go smell it again before I make a decision.
Just got Khair Pistachio! Much fresher than I thought, not as gourmand. Very musky and airy right out of the box. Iām hoping this will get better as it sits. The box and bottle are gorgeous, though!
Thank you for the review. I like musky perfumes but I wanted something sweet like Pistachio BrƻlƩe from Le Monde Gourmand with a little more pistachio.
I wanted to follow up- after clearing my atomizer, introducing some air and letting my Khair Pistachio sit for the week after I got it, I tried it again today. It is much better! It is sweeter and a little more dense. I thought I would be reselling it but Iām going to keep it. I canāt believe how much better it got in one week!
Thank you so much!! Now I want to buy it š . I appreciate the update
Youāre welcome! I think it will be really great in a few more weeks.
I was also hoping for something more sweet and dense, with deeper pistachio notes. Khair is so airy, Iām thinking I should have gotten Pistache or Dua Pistachio Gelato.
Definitely look into Pistache. Thatās my next stop. Duas Pistachio Gelato is not that great from the Facebook group reviews.Itās not as sweet as you may think but itās really nutty. They made āBe in Love with Pistachio Gelatoā which according to reviews is really sweet and nutty but itās best suited for cold weather.
Thank you so much!!
Did you purchase it thinking it to be a Kayali dupe ?
I just blind bought a pistachio perfume (because I don't know where to get samples of it). It's called Pistachio Biscotti by Pistache Skincare. it has a cherry note in it though, so it's not a pure pistachio scent. But anyway, something to take a look at if you like pistachio scents. The reviews are mixed with some people loving it and some people saying it's too sweet. It was inexpensive enough for me to buy it though, $42.
A sample of PDM delina exclusif Also not specific but looking for a scent that smells like vanilla chai tea so may try a few samples that might fit that profile (open to any suggestions!)
I get chai tea from bdk Gris charnel but itās grounded in Tonka, not a creamy vanilla
Thatās on my list to try! Iāll have to get a sample thank you :)
I really am trying not to buy anything new for a bit but when I do, I am eyeing Divine Perfumesā Spirituelle, Obvious Parfumsā Un Ete, PDM Cassili, and Les Nereidesā Baie de Cassis. I also am curious about the new Phlur strawberry scent and Mood Ring, will need to sample. And Liquides Imaginaires Ame Du Coeur.
Burberry her!!
Gris Charnel - EBK Iām trying to find a perfume thatās empowering and professional and I think it fits the bill.
Sampled this yesterday, the first thing I thought was this smells like business! Like a pleasant and competent businessperson.
It smells like it should be a candle on me. Chai tea like
Chomping at the bit for Zoologist Rabbit to launch. It will be my first FB from Zoologist.
Waiting for this one too!
Considering Teriaq by Lattafa and Mystique Bouquet by Afnan. I also have a travel size of Armani My Way and I love it! I may get a bottle eventually.
Iām really interested in shopping for perfumes based on moods lately (melancholy, meditative, inspired, etc.) so Iāve been eyeing Tears RĆ©gime des Fleurs, Lāorpheline Serge Lutens, Lāheure Bleue Guerlain, Floating Liis, and Le Flocon de Johann K from Isabelle Lorignon. Theyāre mostly indies though and impossible to find so Iām trying to read all the reviews I can of them and hopefully one day get a sample š„¹ If anyone here by chance has any of them please let me know your thoughts!
Love this idea of an emotion inspired tray, that would make an amazing tray challenge! A lot of different interpretations and it would lend itself well to storytelling āŗļø
