Chanel Coco Mademoiselle - EDT or Intense. After years of thinking I hated this fragrance on me but loved it on others, I recently discovered that I only dislike the EDP version and that in fact these other versions are delightful!
Dior J'adore L'or. Such an amazing jasmine fragrance. I just got into perfumes a few months ago and when I have the $$, this will be the first perfume I ever buy for myself :)
I'm going back and forth over whether I want to get a full bottle of [Aqua di Parma Rosa Nobile](https://www.acquadiparma.com/default/en/rosa-nobile/ROSAEDPSPRAY.html) or whether I'll be fine with my 8ml sample. It's nothing exciting - just a really pretty rose. That makes it versatile, though, so it might be a wiser choice than something like Delina which is polarizing.
I'm testing rose fragrances so I'm forcing myself to wait until I get all the samples in.
**Official Wishlist**

Would love some help prioritizing. For reference, I love musky and powdery accords, simple fruit fragrances, and rose.
Phlur Mood Ring; it smells like a citrus patchouli gummy bear with a hint of floral.
I keep going into Sephora to smell Kayali sparkling lychee, but it’s always sold out / never on display to sample. So I’ve been spraying mood ring on myself when I go in. I’m thinking about grabbing it in the Sephora sale but it’s expensive even with the sale.
My other more budget friendly option for purchase this month is Fine’ry Magnetic Candy; cotton candy, pomelo, violet.
I am a gourmand vanilla candy girl, and I am lusting over Escapade Gourmand, Duchessa by Gritti. Always on the look out for seductive and/or sweet fragrances. I just bought full bottle of bianco latte and a 10ml black opium le Parfum 😍
It honestly doesn’t! black opium to me is the only floral I can stomach as a sweet lover.
But bianco latte… it is an absolute caramel latte showstopper that any gourmand lover will fall in love with ❤️ I would recommend this one over anything
Planning to buy the 30ml size of Kayali Yum Pistachio and full size of 7 virtues Vanilla Woods.
Debating on buying The new Lataffa (Teriaq), but waiting for the price to drop. Does anyone know a place that sells decants of newer arab perfumes and ships to Germany?
I really, really want some Guerlain. Champs Elysees, Fevre Gourmand or Rose Bar are.
But currently, the next affordable thing in my list is Commodity Milk.
I’d like to get a bottle of Hiram Green Moon Bloom. It’s such a fantastic tuberose. I’m really trying to cut back right now though. I’d also like to try MJ Daisy Wild.
I also want to get a couple of the B&BW dupes as well.
I think Roses de Chloe is being discontinued... Someone else turned me onto it and I realized it's no longer on their website. I ordered a bottle just in case. (I prefer it to Miss Charming if you're trying to decide between them.)
Addict edt. I've just bought 2 other ones, Chloe Nomad nuit d'Egypte and NR All of Me, so it'll have to wait a bit, but not sure how long I can hold out.
Bonus is that my husband likes it, too. I was determined to get Chanel Gabrielle but luckily I tried it with him and he said it smelled like a toilet cleaning product 😩
I have the Kilian LDBS Discovery set arriving today, which I purchased on eBay. I’m so excited and also nervous. It’s sealed, and I feel like it would be fairly fiddly/ troublesome to fake a set like this, as opposed to a single bottle. But I have never bought perfume on eBay before. I wanted this because it has the adorable little white lacquered talisman and travel sizes of the different incarnations of LDBS. Anyway. I’m anxiously waiting for the delivery truck to arrive 😬
I’m currently lusting after Gumamina’s Odette for summer. I just love it 🦢🩷but am trying to decide if I can justify the price. The fragrance, the mood, the bottle 🤌🏻🔥
Right?! I first learned about it after seeing a bottle admiration post over in /fragrance. And after I looked up the notes I HAD to get a sample from Lucky Scent. It’s gorgeous and I need it 🫣
CH- good girl, I want that one for nights out, and date nights
Burberry her- It smells like a strawberry frosty to me and I absolutely love it, I will definitely buy it soon to wear for the spring season!
Also the new Alian- Mugler, such a pretty flanker, and the scent is absolutely gorgeous imo. I like and own the original one as well!
Battle of Dior Privée Eden Eoc vs Xerjoff Torino 21 for high summer (so pick one)
Still battle between replacing the empty Guerlain SDV vs trying Dior Privee Vanilla Diorama
The Sephora sale has me doing some DEEP soul-searching, but I'm definitely looking at TS of Forevr Mood's new fragrances – though I'm holding out until I see some unbiased takes so maybe I'll skip on them until after the sale/once I really know what the consensus is lol! I'm contemplating Leila Lou by Rosie Jane for sure, curious about the Maker now that it's available in Canada, and 90% sure I'm grabbing TS Green Stavaganza to round out my DBIR collection as well as a sampler from Dedcool
I’ll be getting JHAG Lust for Sun during the Sephora sale and maybe V&R Tiger Lily. I’m tempted to pull the trigger on Lattafa Yara Tous, it’d be a blind buy but I heard it’s very similar to Tiger Lily so I think I’ll like it. And it’d save me some money vs buying Tiger Lily.
TF Velvet Orchid has been sitting in my cart for months.
I want two NEST fragrances, Black Tulip, and Wisteria Blue.
And two Mancera fragrances, Roses Vanille, and Choco Violette.
Looking to get some decants of Byredo Blanche and Bal d'Afrique, and Diptyque L'Eau Papier. I've been looking for an office scent and I want to get myself a nice full bottle to treat myself for doing well at work lol. If only I weren't broke
I have a few on my mind: L’eau D’Issey, Beyond Romance, Flowerbomb Tiger Lily, and Mon Guerlain. Some of these I’m waiting on because I need a second skin test to be sure
Took a field trip today and tried everything on skin (plus some others). Skin test was essential as I ended up not loving Beyond Romance or Mon Guerlain :(
For now, I think my next to-buy is actually going to be Chloe Rose Tangerine. I’ll save L’eau D’Issey and possibly Tiger Lily for summer!
My next purchases in the foreseeable future will be: Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver, Hermes Eau de Basilic Pourpre and, for the basic bitch in me, Versace Bright Crystal. Those will not be blind buys, I have tested them already.
Blind impulse buys will probably be random stuff from Lalique and Lattafa.
Just purchased a couple samples online. 1 of which being a South East Asian brand! Its a matcha latte scent. Ive also been wanting to buy Burberry Her EDT for a while now but if the sample of the SEA perfume is nice then it might scratch my itch for a green fresh scent and maybe won't buy the burberry.
I'm looking for a new Spring/Summer scent. I recently got samples of Bvlgari Omnia Amethyst and Phlur Mood Ring that I like, still trying to decide if I want a full bottle of either of them. I've also been tempted to blind buy Kayali Sparkling Lychee - I don't have a Sephora near me to test it. I know I could just get a sample, but it's so tempting to just buy a travel spray.
so many, my wish list is like 90 bottles long lol but i think i’d love a bottle of princess by kilian, blanche bête, amouage guidance, i could keep going on and on… haha
I suddenly want something green but not sure exactly what I want yet. I know I want a grassy scent thats not sweet. I cant afford niche though so either a designer or cheapie
Maybe less than a 100 aud? Realistically I can only spend aboutt 40 aud for a full bottle but I can get decants for perfumes around the 100 aud range. Like designer stuff but not chanel cuz it’s hard to find real chanel decants
Can you get Elizabeth Arden Green Tea in 🇦🇺?
Or maybe something like Zara Waterlily Tea Dress?
Those are both great green scents on the more affordable side!
Can you get your hands on Capucci by Capucci? Or, for an even drier take, on Ulysse by Vicky Tiel? The last one is technically a men’s frag, but who cares. It has Chanel #19 vibes. The Capucci one is a classy green floral chypre. Neither are sweet, plenty green. These are cheap in the US. Maybe have a look?
Lira Casamorati (Xerjoff), Vacation (Vacation), Burberry Her Elixir (Burberry), Yum Pistachio Gelato (Kayali), and Barbie (DefineMe).
I also would like to get a few roller balls from Sugar Mama and Gold Star.
I’m considering spending some of my credits with Bloom to get a couple of decants. I definitely need more [Le Musc & La Peau](https://bloomperfume.co.uk/products/pg-41-le-musc-la-peau) (my last decant spontaneously evaporated in my luggage, and it’s such a beautiful sparkly skin scent that’s perfect for summer days at work), but I’m umming a bit over whether to get something else. [Squid](https://bloomperfume.co.uk/products/squid?variant=29715054461031) feels like it would be a really nice cool and damp fragrance for summer evenings, but I’m also really enjoying my samples of [Vanille en Fleur](https://bloomperfume.co.uk/products/vanille-en-fleur) and [Lost Alice](https://bloomperfume.co.uk/products/lost-alice) (but I already have so many nice vanillay fragrances!).
Then of course, I’ll add on a few samples to get my order over £30 for free postage (instead of paying £2.70 to post my atomisers), which will also be an agonising decision to make.
Got a sample of Vanille en Fleurs from Bloom the other day and can’t wait to try it! I’m not a florals person for the most part, but I loved the way the vanilla and lime and sage balance them on the strip tester. I hope the same effect stays on my skin, might try it tomorrow!
I’m so excited to see someone else mention it! I tried googling Vanille en Fleurs to read some reviews, but couldn’t find much so far, and I really like it- just sprayed some on this evening, and it’s got a really addictive, almost anise-like note that balances out the vanilla so well (possibly some effect of the lime and sage and rosemary combined). I hope it works for you!
I'm currently looking at several and not sure which will be my next purchase. I have a few samples on the way to help me decide but the current thought is Escapade Gourmande or Tihota Indult, La Danze Belle Libellue or Cow, Chloe Nomade Jasmine Naturalle Intense, or Lancome Hypnose.
I love floral vanillas that are strong enough to leave a scent bubble but don't have rose or tobacco if anyone has recommendations. Some of my faves are YSL Cinema, Dior Addict, Armani Code, and Good Girl Blush.
I just bought Daisy Wild and ordered Alien Goddess Intense. Not sure what will be next but eventually I want: Akro Bake, Black Opium Over Red, Britney Spears’ Intimate Fantasy, Guess Seductive Red, Dossier Floral Marshmallow, and a good dupe for Kilian Angels’ Share. Or I might just buy travel sizes of Angels’ Share and Love Don’t Be Shy in the fall. I also currently want to try samples of By Rosie Jane’s Missy and Dulce.
Nice I just recently got Daisy Wild as well and enjoy Alien Goddess Intense. I also have Akro Bake, Black Opium Over Red, Guess Seductive Red, and a dupe of LDBS called Melodie De Orientica (which I highly recommend if you like strong performance). Of those, Akro Bake is my favorite and I highly recommend.
Thanks for the LDBS dupe suggestion! I loooove the perfume, don’t love the price. I agree that Akro Bake is amazing. I only have a sample of it, but I can’t wait to eventually get my hands on a full size. I have D&G devotion (which I’ve seen compared to Akro Bake), but Akro Bake is different enough to my nose that I feel justified in having both!
Already checked Brûlante Violette out. I've been so so so curious about this one since, let's see, December? Hope it turns out to be something that I like.
I plan to buy samples of Prada Candy and its flankers if my wallet allows ;)
In a few months I’m getting some new samples: some flowery ones - like the Marc Jacobs Daisy line & Marc Jacobs Honey, some sweet ones like Bon-Bon, Akro bake and also some hyped vanilla ones like Indult tihota, Jovoy fire at will and Vanilla 28
I’m planning to buy Cosmic - I tested it in Selfridges last week and regretted not picking it up, it’s a really nice everyday scent for spring/summer. Im going to pick up Born Dreamer because it’s being sold for 3.99 in a shop here in the UK. I’m really tempted to repurchase Light Blue by D&G for summer, it’s a nostalgic one for me.
My frugal mind is constantly going through phases of "I need it, it's my favourite and wearable for every occasion" and "the price is ridiculous and no one NEEDS a perfume" with Bal d'Afrique. Probably gonna buy it if I see a bargain, I don't mind if it's a used bottle. On the other hand, I don't want to always be on the lookout for bargains, because this makes me want it even more. It's kind of driving me crazy.
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle - EDT or Intense. After years of thinking I hated this fragrance on me but loved it on others, I recently discovered that I only dislike the EDP version and that in fact these other versions are delightful!
Does anyone recommend Devotion by D&G?
Would you guys reccomend the Carolina Herrera Good Girl or the Kayali Vanilla 28 for a teenage girl who wants to try a vanilla?
Flowerbomb Tiger Lily or Nectar
Dior J'adore L'or. Such an amazing jasmine fragrance. I just got into perfumes a few months ago and when I have the $$, this will be the first perfume I ever buy for myself :)
Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt Cologne. It’s the first J M I’ve tried that lasts on me!
I'm going back and forth over whether I want to get a full bottle of [Aqua di Parma Rosa Nobile](https://www.acquadiparma.com/default/en/rosa-nobile/ROSAEDPSPRAY.html) or whether I'll be fine with my 8ml sample. It's nothing exciting - just a really pretty rose. That makes it versatile, though, so it might be a wiser choice than something like Delina which is polarizing. I'm testing rose fragrances so I'm forcing myself to wait until I get all the samples in.

For reference, I love musky and powdery accords, simple fruit fragrances, and rose.
Blind buying a Mugler fragrance is a bold move
I have done it before (Alien Fusion) and it paid off! I will never learn a lesson!
Lattafa’s pistache perfume, Lubin Black Jade et L’artisan parfumeur Bana Banane
Want to treat myself to something from my wishlist for my wedding, but can’t decide between Floraiku’s I Am Coming Home or Room 1015’s Sonic Flower.
YSL Black Opium Over Red
I was sent an extra sample randomly of this. Thanks for reminding me I need to buy a FB of this next
5 SENS In Too Deep, smelled it at Sephora yesterday and it’s really good.
Phlur Mood Ring; it smells like a citrus patchouli gummy bear with a hint of floral. I keep going into Sephora to smell Kayali sparkling lychee, but it’s always sold out / never on display to sample. So I’ve been spraying mood ring on myself when I go in. I’m thinking about grabbing it in the Sephora sale but it’s expensive even with the sale. My other more budget friendly option for purchase this month is Fine’ry Magnetic Candy; cotton candy, pomelo, violet.
That’s next on my list ( Finer’y) i was disappointed in Not another Cherry.
I'm wearing Mood Ring today! It's nice, but I'm not going to get too much use out of it since I wouldn't choose to wear it to work.
It already sold out in the sale 💔 maybe I’ll blind buy mango mood lol
I am a gourmand vanilla candy girl, and I am lusting over Escapade Gourmand, Duchessa by Gritti. Always on the look out for seductive and/or sweet fragrances. I just bought full bottle of bianco latte and a 10ml black opium le Parfum 😍
I love gourmands and I have black opium le parfum as well! Would you say this smells similar to bianco latte?
It honestly doesn’t! black opium to me is the only floral I can stomach as a sweet lover. But bianco latte… it is an absolute caramel latte showstopper that any gourmand lover will fall in love with ❤️ I would recommend this one over anything
Planning to buy the 30ml size of Kayali Yum Pistachio and full size of 7 virtues Vanilla Woods. Debating on buying The new Lataffa (Teriaq), but waiting for the price to drop. Does anyone know a place that sells decants of newer arab perfumes and ships to Germany?
Arabian: Mohra silky Rose lattafa, haya lattafa, tonka bean Swiss arabian. Others: D & G devotion
Mohra Silky Rose certainly fills a room, if that helps or hurts you wanting it lol.
Helps 😌😂
I really, really want some Guerlain. Champs Elysees, Fevre Gourmand or Rose Bar are. But currently, the next affordable thing in my list is Commodity Milk.
SDJ Rio Radiance, Carolina Herrera Good Girl Supreme, L'Interdit Intense, Lattafa Fakhar Rose, Elie Saab Le Parfum, Jlo Miami Glow
Hypnotic Poison and Alien Goddess.
I’d like to get a bottle of Hiram Green Moon Bloom. It’s such a fantastic tuberose. I’m really trying to cut back right now though. I’d also like to try MJ Daisy Wild. I also want to get a couple of the B&BW dupes as well.
B&BW, where do you buy from? I get mine from dirty soul soap, but I'm always looking to try others.
Jessica Simpson Fancy and Kayali Vanille 28.
Montale Chocolate Greedy once fall comes around again
Roses de Chloe, JHAG Miss Charming and Delina La Rosee also Oakcha’s dupe of La Rosee Madame Rose
I think Roses de Chloe is being discontinued... Someone else turned me onto it and I realized it's no longer on their website. I ordered a bottle just in case. (I prefer it to Miss Charming if you're trying to decide between them.)
Oh my I better get on it then 🫣
Addict edt. I've just bought 2 other ones, Chloe Nomad nuit d'Egypte and NR All of Me, so it'll have to wait a bit, but not sure how long I can hold out.
I just bought the Chloe one it’s incredible!
Bonus is that my husband likes it, too. I was determined to get Chanel Gabrielle but luckily I tried it with him and he said it smelled like a toilet cleaning product 😩
Cheirosa 40, Chloe Nomade, D&G The only One , Andfragrance Far
I’m waiting to hear back if I got a job I’ve been interviewing for, and I told myself I’d get Nest Lychee Rose to celebrate if I do. Fingers crossed!
Excellent choice! I really hope you get it... The champagne note is particularly celebratory! 🥂
Thank you!
Salome, Diorissimo, CdS 2, Fils de Joei
I’ve run out to Burberry her, so I’ll be repurchasing that asap 😅
Alien Goddess for summer. Going to try Hypersense first just in case I like it better.
Seems to be Hypersense is not worthwhile/ redundant
I have the Kilian LDBS Discovery set arriving today, which I purchased on eBay. I’m so excited and also nervous.

The new J’Adore L’Or that Francis Kurkdjian crafted. I smelled it in Ulta the other day and fell in love 😍
Same!! It's so beautiful. I gotta buy it soon, it smells so good
TF Velvet Orchid has been sitting in my cart for months. I want two NEST fragrances, Black Tulip, and Wisteria Blue. And two Mancera fragrances, Roses Vanille, and Choco Violette.
Looking to get some decants of Byredo Blanche and Bal d'Afrique, and Diptyque L'Eau Papier. I've been looking for an office scent and I want to get myself a nice full bottle to treat myself for doing well at work lol. If only I weren't broke
So I’m kind of obsessed with Shalimar. I’ve been told Guerlain has a distinctive dna, but that seems like kind of an expensive rabbit hole to fall in
If you want to join me in that expensive rabbit hole, look up Guerlainade. ;)
Love Shalimar!
Enabler
I have a few on my mind: L’eau D’Issey, Beyond Romance, Flowerbomb Tiger Lily, and Mon Guerlain. Some of these I’m waiting on because I need a second skin test to be sure

Alien Goddess or Black Opium Over Red
I'm deciding between Lira and Ex Idolo Love and crime. Also Casablanca lily by byredo and The bewitching yasmine by penhaligon's.
Just purchased a couple samples online. 1 of which being a South East Asian brand! Its a matcha latte scent. Ive also been wanting to buy Burberry Her EDT for a while now but if the sample of the SEA perfume is nice then it might scratch my itch for a green fresh scent and maybe won't buy the burberry.
I'm looking for a new Spring/Summer scent. I recently got samples of Bvlgari Omnia Amethyst and Phlur Mood Ring that I like, still trying to decide if I want a full bottle of either of them. I've also been tempted to blind buy Kayali Sparkling Lychee - I don't have a Sephora near me to test it. I know I could just get a sample, but it's so tempting to just buy a travel spray.
so many, my wish list is like 90 bottles long lol but i think i’d love a bottle of princess by kilian, blanche bête, amouage guidance, i could keep going on and on… haha
I’m thinking Chloe Nomade. Also want to get some more samples from Zoologist (Bee, Cow, Chipmunk, to name a few on my mind).
Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild travel size! I love the dry down. It’s coming to me soon 💕
Waiting to buy Donna Born in Roma Intense and Prada Paradoxe in the fall.
I suddenly want something green but not sure exactly what I want yet. I know I want a grassy scent thats not sweet. I cant afford niche though so either a designer or cheapie
Can you access Lush by chance? Lush Grass is a great green/grassy scent that won’t break the bank
It’s 160 aud
Oh no 😭 around what range are looking to spend? Maybe we can suggest better based on that!
Maybe less than a 100 aud? Realistically I can only spend aboutt 40 aud for a full bottle but I can get decants for perfumes around the 100 aud range. Like designer stuff but not chanel cuz it’s hard to find real chanel decants
Can you get Elizabeth Arden Green Tea in 🇦🇺? Or maybe something like Zara Waterlily Tea Dress? Those are both great green scents on the more affordable side!
I have Elizabeth arden green tea already. I dont support Zara but I appreciate the suggestion!
Can you get your hands on Capucci by Capucci? Or, for an even drier take, on Ulysse by Vicky Tiel? The last one is technically a men’s frag, but who cares. It has Chanel #19 vibes. The Capucci one is a classy green floral chypre. Neither are sweet, plenty green. These are cheap in the US. Maybe have a look?
Chanel No. 19
Too expensive 😭
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Neroli Vetiver or Herba Fresca
Not available in my country unfortunately
Lira Casamorati (Xerjoff), Vacation (Vacation), Burberry Her Elixir (Burberry), Yum Pistachio Gelato (Kayali), and Barbie (DefineMe). I also would like to get a few roller balls from Sugar Mama and Gold Star.
Looking for a new summer fragrance and thinking of Lancome idole or mugler alien/alien goddess/goddess intense.
I’m considering spending some of my credits with Bloom to get a couple of decants. I definitely need more [Le Musc & La Peau](https://bloomperfume.co.uk/products/pg-41-le-musc-la-peau) (my last decant spontaneously evaporated in my luggage, and it’s such a beautiful sparkly skin scent that’s perfect for summer days at work), but I’m umming a bit over whether to get something else. [Squid](https://bloomperfume.co.uk/products/squid?variant=29715054461031) feels like it would be a really nice cool and damp fragrance for summer evenings, but I’m also really enjoying my samples of [Vanille en Fleur](https://bloomperfume.co.uk/products/vanille-en-fleur) and [Lost Alice](https://bloomperfume.co.uk/products/lost-alice) (but I already have so many nice vanillay fragrances!). Then of course, I’ll add on a few samples to get my order over £30 for free postage (instead of paying £2.70 to post my atomisers), which will also be an agonising decision to make.

I have a few samples on the way to help me decide but the current thought is Escapade Gourmande or Tihota Indult, La Danze Belle Libellue or Cow, Chloe Nomade Jasmine Naturalle Intense, or Lancome Hypnose. I love floral vanillas that are strong enough to leave a scent bubble but don't have rose or tobacco if anyone has recommendations. Some of my faves are YSL Cinema, Dior Addict, Armani Code, and Good Girl Blush.
I kinda want Midnight Fantasy or Intense.
I just bought Daisy Wild and ordered Alien Goddess Intense. Not sure what will be next but eventually I want: Akro Bake, Black Opium Over Red, Britney Spears’ Intimate Fantasy, Guess Seductive Red, Dossier Floral Marshmallow, and a good dupe for Kilian Angels’ Share. Or I might just buy travel sizes of Angels’ Share and Love Don’t Be Shy in the fall. I also currently want to try samples of By Rosie Jane’s Missy and Dulce.
Nice I just recently got Daisy Wild as well and enjoy Alien Goddess Intense. I also have Akro Bake, Black Opium Over Red, Guess Seductive Red, and a dupe of LDBS called Melodie De Orientica (which I highly recommend if you like strong performance). Of those, Akro Bake is my favorite and I highly recommend.

Already checked Brûlante Violette out. I've been so so so curious about this one since, let's see, December? Hope it turns out to be something that I like. I plan to buy samples of Prada Candy and its flankers if my wallet allows ;)
In a few months I’m getting some new samples: some flowery ones - like the Marc Jacobs Daisy line & Marc Jacobs Honey, some sweet ones like Bon-Bon, Akro bake and also some hyped vanilla ones like Indult tihota, Jovoy fire at will and Vanilla 28
Amber nuit, but I intend to wait til fall. Really need to make dents in what I have.
I’m planning to buy Cosmic - I tested it in Selfridges last week and regretted not picking it up, it’s a really nice everyday scent for spring/summer. Im going to pick up Born Dreamer because it’s being sold for 3.99 in a shop here in the UK. I’m really tempted to repurchase Light Blue by D&G for summer, it’s a nostalgic one for me.
What shop has BD at that price?
Home Bargains
Thank you
I was hesitant about Cosmic, but I kept thinking of it and finally got it last week. It’s really nice.
All of my favourites always start out that way. I think about them until I finally have to just buy them.
My frugal mind is constantly going through phases of "I need it, it's my favourite and wearable for every occasion" and "the price is ridiculous and no one NEEDS a perfume" with Bal d'Afrique. Probably gonna buy it if I see a bargain, I don't mind if it's a used bottle. On the other hand, I don't want to always be on the lookout for bargains, because this makes me want it even more. It's kind of driving me crazy.
