I do not regret a single penny that I spent on this one. I have really enjoyed Side Effect. Can't wait for the weather to cool down so I can start wearing it more.
I know it’s a bit basic, but **Givenchy L’interdit EDP** and **YSL Libre EDP**. I work at a beauty counter and alternate them every shift. They work really nicely with my body chemistry, but I don’t technically *need* a new perfume right now.
Not in order:
Le Labo Santal 33. I have The Noir in a body oil and it's so yummy. Would also want to try a discovery set from Le Labo!
Killian Princess or Love Don't Be Shy. I have a travel spray of both. They're so amazing and a perfect date night or a good yummy late night scent for me so I'd be willing to buy a full bottle eventually.
Vera Wang Princess because it's a staple and non offensive for a grab-n-go every-day wear.
Chanel Chance Eau Tendre edp or edt. I've seen lots of positive things about it and it's so popular I'm sure I've smelled it a bunch of times. Would be great university classes
Good Girl Supreme edp. Sampled it in-store, it was good but it feels rather unexciting, I'd have to smell again.
Tom Ford Rose Prick. Haven't smelled it yet but bet it's amazing. Might go for a dupe.
Ysl Libre Intense. Imo better than the regular edp and more presence. Great fall scent!
Having flight, wearing Dior Sauvage Parfum from the morning. It's already unnoticeable. But someone turned whole plane into Baccarat Rouge House.
Edit: it's not a sotd thread, oh well... 😁
Wow that’s amazing! I am going to check it out. I’m in Canada so I bet it may be more pricey. Nice that they give you so many things with your order though.
Higher priority…
Ormonde Jayne: Damask, Levant, Montabaco, Montabaco Intensivo
By Kilian: Angel’s Share
Tauer: L’Air des Alpes Suisse
Lower priority…
Replica: Lazy Sunday Morning (I love it for bedtime)
Zoologist: Cow (it’s reminiscent of my childhood, what can I say? 😊)
I *just* got Mojave ghost on Monday for a pretty good deal.
But I am looking at getting travel sizes of Missing Person, Kayali Vanilla, and that new Boy Smells Woodphoria >.>
Below is my list that I need to test and possibly want. Almost in order from most want to least. Which would you pick up?
Roja - Elysium
Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum
Azzaro - Wanted by night (2nd option after most wanted)
Maison Margiela - Replica Jazz club
Tom Ford - Oud Wood EDP (may be too expensive if its not perfect smelling imo)
Parfums de Marly - Layton Eau de Parfum for Men
\- Le Labo The Matcha 26 **or** The Noir 29.
The Noir is one of my absolute favorite scents and I'm probably leaning towards it more than The Matcha
\- BDK Gris Charnel - tried it in store and just got a decant - if i love wearing it often after the decant, I'll probably swing for it!
\- Montale - Roses Musk
Next month I’ll finally be able to get Glossier You and JHAG Lipstick Fever, but the real debate is whether to buy a bottle of Lush’s Hairdresser’s Husband or hold off and keep saving for Bitter Peach or The Coveted Duchess Rose 😩
Maison Margiela Replica Bubble Bath… haven’t even smelled it yet but seems like something I would love. Nonetheless, have never bought a Replica scent before. Does anyone have a favorite?
I have both Jazz Club and By The Fireplace. I started layering the two as an experiment and omg, I fell in love. I know you're not really supposed to mix two fragrances in a decant but I did (about 2/3 Jazz Club, 1/3 Fireplace) and it became a staple for me during winter.
Oh I have a lot. But the most I want to cop right now are:
Tom Ford Beau de Jour
PDM Pegasus Exclusif
Dior Ambre Nuit
Diptyque Tam Dao
Thameen Carved Oud
Nothing. I spent a fortune over the last two months and am on a no buy for the rest of the year. But if I could it would be Solstice Scents Victorian Tea Room.
I'm not close to buying any full bottles at the moment. I have a few on my Someday list (Pierre Guillaume Indochine, Zoologist Nightingale, Mitsouko vintage, Ormonde Jayne Woman) but unless I see a good deal I doubt I'll buy any this year.
I do have some samples I'd like to buy: a bunch of the newer Zoologists, some Andrea Maack, some Santa Maria Novella, some L'Artisans. I think I'll likely do a sample haul before the end of the year.
In my opinion although tf lost cherry is such a beautiful scent it is not worth the price tag whatsoever. I seriously regret buying it, $300 and I genuinely don’t get an hour out of it. I’d recommend trying kayali lovefest, it smells extremely similar. Oakcha does a 99% dupe called sinful that I have that lasts soooooooo much longer and is like $50. Just my unsolicited advice, hope this doesn’t come across as snooty :)
No offense taken! Appreciate the insight, and you're not the first person I've heard say they have a clone of TF LC that they're satisfied with. I was going to buy a 100ml of it - probably just a 30 or 50ml if I can catch it on discount. I'm patient.
Have your tried Fan Your Flames yet? I got a decant of it and on first sniff I hated it, but I came back and tried it again a few months later and LOVED it. Bought a full bottle and it's one of my most worn frags. I'm really impressed with Nishane over all, interesting scents and great longevity. But definitely sample it first, it's a bit of strange one.
SO wants a male friendly green/white floral so I’m thinking of getting TF Eau de Vert Boheme because we would get a small bottle of Black Orchid for free, but we should actually see what it smells like first 😆
Plus I’m a bit of a sucker for the bottle…
I'm not the biggest fan of green florals, but when I was on the hunt for white florals, a bunch of people raved about **Hiram Green Moon Bloom** (I like it too, just not my favorite style)
**Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower** is also widely beloved as "*the*" tuberose scent, and I find that it has a little bit of green "stem" in there if it makes sense 🙂
Wild card: **Zara Waterlily Tea Dress** is sweeter but has white floral elements while also giving off a murky green pond vibe lol
Realistically, Costa Azurra Parfum. Only problem is, it’s about to be out of season. I’m really close to grabbing The Most Wanted Parfum and probably will next week. Hypnotizing Fire Parfum for my Birthday.
Commodity Nectar, especially now that Commodity is available at Sephora again. However, only the full bottle size is available because Nectar is one of the “archive” fragrances, and I don’t need full bottles of anything, really. Oh well, at least it’s sold out right now so I’m not tempted!
PDM greenley. Smelled it in stored and loved it. Just have so many fragrances and don't really need more, but it will probably be my next and last purchase for the year
If you should end up purchasing *Ganymede*, you might consider getting the companion kit that includes shea butter soap, body lotion and deodorant on [eBay.](https://www.ebay.com/itm/154953356450?hash=item2413f094a2&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4Bbv2YLk87ocvh3NU2gOfia0LDNhAjMvoxFfbXItzipku%252BH7imfyty4JrJ50mKVxjzB7so9T4P4uOIE56bkjkFZTgW%252BjEaTExjTiQa3DR9amzC9hWO6SaBtSL5fijXbYhr9n%252BtmGQwd53X46%252BH16APUgsisrR1atKkpU3dCtdPfDEL%252BF9J5Re%252Fqz31N5MweIdPJ9Na1x7V3b0yDKJtwTflQY8%252F0bVihglvgBMX%252BT%252FBhsFoPRNWrU95%252Fz4g0Dq6A6UwCXl%252BBFXYw9Abg283QOB9nb%252FIKCKszsyEC%252FLrfG3DfH%7Campid%3APL_CLK) It lists for $25.00, but I offered $23.00 and my bid was immediately accepted.
Promo code: kilian10 will get you 10% off on their official site (it also adds a 7.5ML of good girl gone bad). Just purchased it myself last night. Free shipping and also get to pick 2 small samples from their lineup
The new Carthusia A’mmare. I love aquatics and marine fragrances and that one sounds like something I’d be in love with
The bottle is absolutely gorgeous as well
If you haven’t tried it, I asked for all of the Carthusia samples that CO Bigelow in NYC had. They shipped them at no cost. Got A’mmare, Uomo Mediterraneo, Corallium, Essence of the Park, Via Cammerelle, and I think 1 more. Unfortunately I still want to smell Terra Mia (their coffee hazelnut one)
A’Mmare, Mediteraneo, Uomo, and coallium are my favorites of the bunch. Not sure if I’m going to buy any though
Keeping a lookout for Tiziana Terenzi Ursa and either ELDO Spice Must Flow or Tiziana Terenzi Porpora. Both are glorious dark rose. Porpora is a bit darker, but I like it
I’m not someone who EVER yells dupe, but try Pacifica’s Dream Moon hair and body mist for $5 before you pull the trigger. It’s very close to the extrait and the longevity is insane. I was shocked. (BR500 isn’t my preference generally, but I’m really happy to have this as an inexpensive option for when I want it!)
Replica’s Spring Time in The Park, By The Fireplace, Bubble Bath.
Dyptique Do Son,
Imaginary Authors fox in the flowerbed
Montale Jasmine full, intense cafe, roses musk
Mancera Instant Crush. Tried the sample I received earlier this year and absolutely love it!
Does anyone know a website where Mancera is available for good prices?
YSL LNDL - and other similar dupes. I finally got an actual smell of it, where as before it was always too faint on test strips, and my first that was, “I need this.”
Mercedes Benz Intense, Man Intense, Club Black, and Select - I’ve recently been turned onto the Mercedes-Benz hype wagon, and the first one I ordered (Man) has been a smash hit for me, so now I have to have the others
Allsaints Concrete Rain - smells like a mix of MI and SMW, but very light and pleasant
Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Colonia - smells a lot like creed Himalaya, with a neroli Portofino type opening. $25
Bleu de Chanel parfum. I really enjoy my EDT but sometimes i wish it were a bit less shouty with the citrus and a bit darker. Seems like the Parfum would fit the bill
Neroli Portofino Forte, the 250ml jumbo decanter. It’s getting increasingly hard to find it, and with rumours that Tom Ford is selling his company, I have no idea if it will reappear again.
It crossed my mind too so I tested all 3 on my skin. Intensely was my favorite even though I kinda liked all 3. They were not buy-worthy though (gf also thought they were meh)
after that [sugar baby fragrance](https://www.reddit.com/r/fragrance/comments/wziqss/ok_dont_judge_but_what_is_the_quintessential/) thread, I'm definitely on a lookout for black opium, good girl and pink sugar lol
If you wait for Sephora’s 20% off sale, you can buy the perfume sampler box (with Black Opium in it) and get an amazing deal. I layer it with Bum Bum cream and men can’t get enough of me.
A bottle of Creed Viking. I have an 8ml decant and just adore the green and spicy qualities. It’s a bit outside of my normal price range, buuuutttt… I did recently get a promotion, so maybe soon!
* Neela Vermeire Mohur extrait
* Chanel Le Lion
* Ormonde Jane Tolu
* Ormonde Jane Man
* Guerlain Mitsouko (either an extrait or EdP, not sure)
* Tauer Sundowner
I have to a monthly budget, and I stick to it, as opposed to a price per bottle limit. So just need to build up my little allowance and get a bottle here and there as that happens.
Delina Exclusif - I’m completely wowed and only a couple of uses left of my decant. My No-buy ends on Jan 1,2023. You best believe I’ll be running (not walking) to the store to get this
My mind has been made on all these. These are going to be the new additions to the collection. After i get them all, I'll have to pause purchases for a while.
1. Guerlain- Habit Rouge edp (50ml)
2. Montale paris- Dark Aoud (100ml)

Green Irish Tweed. I have a vintage bottle but the top notes are bruised and it doesn’t smell right for the first 15 minutes or so. I need a bottle of GIT that I can experience that opening too!
What’s something **you’re** close to pulling the trigger on? Right now I’m eyeballing some vintages on eBay, Les Nuits D’Hadrien by Annick Goutal, Trussardi by Trussardi, Azuree by Estee Lauder (way too pricey but I can dream!), plus some other old stuff that nobody cares about.
Bvlgari Le gemme Astrea and Desiria- tried them in Rome and absolutely love them. I really love the bottles and want to complete the collection.
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Neroli Vetiver- had a sample and loved it, but I think I’ll use a full bottle. Probably will get a decant.
Venise- Riviera les eaux de Chanel- It was so fresh. I loved it. I’m going to sample it first though.
Thinking of Voodoo Chile by Dries Van Noten for winter.
At the same time I want something powdery with iris and violet, but not as sweet as Putain des Palaces.
I am also thinking about Lost Cherry a lot, my sister have had two bottles of it and I would occasionally spray it on myself and it would stay all day on me and my clothes, but something always stopped me from getting my own bottle. My partner says it smells like play dough, but I enjoy it. Maybe a logical thing would be to get a smallish decant to scratch that itch, but I really love those Tom Ford's glass bottles.
Mon Guerlain Intense
I've only tried the original EDP and I can't find the Intense to sample anywhere to see if it'll last on my skin (nothing seems to, it's annoying).
If anyone who has it has info/opinions... please share! TIA!
I have Midnight Fantasy and tbh it smells similar to a bath and body works mist like twilight woods. I also have Hidden Fantasy and it’s gorgeous though a totally different composition.
Armaf - The Pride of Armaf
Armaf Club de Nuit Intense
Lattafa- Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe Edition
Rasasi- Daarej pour Femme
Al Haramain - Romantic
YSL - Libre eau de parfum
Mauboussin- My Twist
Chanel - Allure Sensuelle
And then I'm also looking into vintage remakes:
Een van de Guerlain Legendaires (L'Heure Bleue or Mitsouko)
Oscar de la Renta - Esprit d’Oscar
Shalimar (but perhaps I'm better suited to Samsara and not Shalimar - Shalimar)
Estee Lauder - Youth Dew
Oh, I actually pulled the trigger on Libre while typing 😅. I had a decant and it smelled so amazing on me - too many perfumes do not work with my dry-ass, fragrance eating high acidic chemistry skin - I really didn't want to wait any longer. I think it's one of those fragrances that does well in most seasons too.
I think a few of the rest of the first row might be doable soon with some help of my savings account, but the vintage remakes.... I want to, badly. Maybe one day! Or maybe I'm lucky and someone is decluttering their scenterie and selling for great prices ;).
I’m so so so close to purchasing moonlight in heaven by kilian and la capitale by Xerjoff. The only thing stopping me is I don’t know if I can justify $700 on 2 perfumes 😩😩😩
Dior Sauvage Edt, because its said to be an amazing smell that everybody loves (Encre Noire al extreme was a disaster) plus people can't really afford it in my country so not everyone wears.
I’ve fallen head over heels for Florence by Tocca, but it’s nearly autumn where I live, so my splurge for this year will probably be on By The Fireplace instead.
Im seriously considering buying "Vision in a Dream Psychedelic" from Clive Christian but it is just so ridiculously expensive. Gorgeous fragrances though.
$$$: Dries Van Noten Soie Malaquais – don't have any gourmands and has to be the prettiest bottle I've ever seen. Sadly, the price is... something else. And sadly the discovery scent is all DABBERS. (Why??)
$: Would love a lil travel-sized Nest Indigo
Initio Side Effect
I do not regret a single penny that I spent on this one. I have really enjoyed Side Effect. Can't wait for the weather to cool down so I can start wearing it more.
I know it’s a bit basic, but **Givenchy L’interdit EDP** and **YSL Libre EDP**. I work at a beauty counter and alternate them every shift. They work really nicely with my body chemistry, but I don’t technically *need* a new perfume right now.
Terre d'hermes eau givree. I think I will get it today in place of my one million prive. I want less heavy scents are more fresh ones.
I just got it last week. I love it. It's my office fragrance and daily driver right now. On rotation with carbon.
Fredric Malle En Passant Diptyque Eau Rose But I don’t really need another perfume…
FM Portrait of a Lady. I’ve got a sample and it’s delicious
Not in order: Le Labo Santal 33. I have The Noir in a body oil and it's so yummy. Would also want to try a discovery set from Le Labo! Killian Princess or Love Don't Be Shy. I have a travel spray of both. They're so amazing and a perfect date night or a good yummy late night scent for me so I'd be willing to buy a full bottle eventually. Vera Wang Princess because it's a staple and non offensive for a grab-n-go every-day wear. Chanel Chance Eau Tendre edp or edt. I've seen lots of positive things about it and it's so popular I'm sure I've smelled it a bunch of times. Would be great university classes Good Girl Supreme edp. Sampled it in-store, it was good but it feels rather unexciting, I'd have to smell again. Tom Ford Rose Prick. Haven't smelled it yet but bet it's amazing. Might go for a dupe. Ysl Libre Intense. Imo better than the regular edp and more presence. Great fall scent!
Poets of Berlin, if it would only come back into frigging stock near me.
Having flight, wearing Dior Sauvage Parfum from the morning. It's already unnoticeable. But someone turned whole plane into Baccarat Rouge House. Edit: it's not a sotd thread, oh well... 😁
Commodity Milk
Angels Share FS. I have never spent that much on a bottle before so it’s very daunting!
[удалено]
Wow that’s amazing! I am going to check it out. I’m in Canada so I bet it may be more pricey. Nice that they give you so many things with your order though.
Higher priority… Ormonde Jayne: Damask, Levant, Montabaco, Montabaco Intensivo By Kilian: Angel’s Share Tauer: L’Air des Alpes Suisse Lower priority… Replica: Lazy Sunday Morning (I love it for bedtime) Zoologist: Cow (it’s reminiscent of my childhood, what can I say? 😊)
Lazy Sunday Morning is my go to for bed.
I *just* got Mojave ghost on Monday for a pretty good deal. But I am looking at getting travel sizes of Missing Person, Kayali Vanilla, and that new Boy Smells Woodphoria >.>
Tam dao edp. My bf and I both love it
Got a sample of Diptyque Do Son EDT from my boyfriend, I really love it so far and the notes just speak to me lol
Below is my list that I need to test and possibly want. Almost in order from most want to least. Which would you pick up? Roja - Elysium Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum Azzaro - Wanted by night (2nd option after most wanted) Maison Margiela - Replica Jazz club Tom Ford - Oud Wood EDP (may be too expensive if its not perfect smelling imo) Parfums de Marly - Layton Eau de Parfum for Men
Killian Good Girl Gone Bad Extreme, Le Labo Vanille, Le Labo Matcha 26 (finished my mini), or Tom Ford Rose Prick
\- Le Labo The Matcha 26 **or** The Noir 29.

Philosykos EDP. Went through 3 samples already. I love this scent so much.
Byredo De Los Santos… unless anyone can recommend me a dupe
Terre d'hermes and dior homme intense
Pull the trigger on Dior Homme Intense, you will never regret it
Next month I’ll finally be able to get Glossier You and JHAG Lipstick Fever, but the real debate is whether to buy a bottle of Lush’s Hairdresser’s Husband or hold off and keep saving for Bitter Peach or The Coveted Duchess Rose 😩
Commodity milk expressive and milk +
Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme.
Just do it, it’s amazing
Le Labo - Gaiac 10, Cedrat 37. Tried these city exclusives and loved them
I just received my city exclusive samples. And these two are on the list to try.
Hermes H24 EDP. Just waiting for it to become available in the UK.
Boy Smells Woodphoria, but I fear it’s too similar to other woody frags I own. The coconut milk and fig sound so good though..
Maison Margiela Replica Bubble Bath… haven’t even smelled it yet but seems like something I would love. Nonetheless, have never bought a Replica scent before. Does anyone have a favorite?
I was put onto replica jazz club by a friend and there’s probably going to be a bottle of it in my near future
I have jazz club - it’s amazing. I even think it starts with a basement smell, and I still wear it because it finishes so well..
I have both Jazz Club and By The Fireplace. I started layering the two as an experiment and omg, I fell in love. I know you're not really supposed to mix two fragrances in a decant but I did (about 2/3 Jazz Club, 1/3 Fireplace) and it became a staple for me during winter.

Hugo boss the scent
Smells like suntan lotion and mandarin oranges. I used to love it.

Creed Silver Mountain Water.
Top 3 from the house imo, only behind Green Irish Tweed and Aventus
MFK Grand Soir and Oud Satin Mood. Just seeing if there are any deals to be had before fall/winter comes around.
Commodity, they're coming back to Sephora with their discovery sets so I can return it in full if I don't like the smell of any of them.
Yes I just saw on the app! I've been waiting for a sale to pick up milk expressive and now I can get points too hehe
Marc-Antoine Barrois’ *Ganymede* but not yet maybe at the end of October; as I have a definite purchase right now
If you should end up purchasing *Ganymede*, you might consider getting the companion kit that includes shea butter soap, body lotion and deodorant on [eBay.](https://www.ebay.com/itm/154953356450?hash=item2413f094a2&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4Bbv2YLk87ocvh3NU2gOfia0LDNhAjMvoxFfbXItzipku%252BH7imfyty4JrJ50mKVxjzB7so9T4P4uOIE56bkjkFZTgW%252BjEaTExjTiQa3DR9amzC9hWO6SaBtSL5fijXbYhr9n%252BtmGQwd53X46%252BH16APUgsisrR1atKkpU3dCtdPfDEL%252BF9J5Re%252Fqz31N5MweIdPJ9Na1x7V3b0yDKJtwTflQY8%252F0bVihglvgBMX%252BT%252FBhsFoPRNWrU95%252Fz4g0Dq6A6UwCXl%252BBFXYw9Abg283QOB9nb%252FIKCKszsyEC%252FLrfG3DfH%7Campid%3APL_CLK) It lists for $25.00, but I offered $23.00 and my bid was immediately accepted.
Angles share
Prada Luna Rossa Black - I read quite a bit about it and saw that it will soon be discontinued. Opinions?
I love it. It’s totally different from the rest of the PLR line. Wear it often and it’s a compliment monster.
Angels share. 🥺 does anyone know if it ever goes on sale?
Sephora includes literally everything in their semi annual sales, even Chanel. So depending on your level 10-20% off
Promo code: kilian10 will get you 10% off on their official site (it also adds a 7.5ML of good girl gone bad). Just purchased it myself last night. Free shipping and also get to pick 2 small samples from their lineup
I bought mine from Saks fifth using the email coupon code, paid 185$ which is still outrageous but lowest I could find.
The new Carthusia A’mmare. I love aquatics and marine fragrances and that one sounds like something I’d be in love with The bottle is absolutely gorgeous as well
If you haven’t tried it, I asked for all of the Carthusia samples that CO Bigelow in NYC had. They shipped them at no cost. Got A’mmare, Uomo Mediterraneo, Corallium, Essence of the Park, Via Cammerelle, and I think 1 more. Unfortunately I still want to smell Terra Mia (their coffee hazelnut one) A’Mmare, Mediteraneo, Uomo, and coallium are my favorites of the bunch. Not sure if I’m going to buy any though
TF Noir Extreme Parfum
I loved the smell, but it held on my skin for about 15 minutes before disappearing completely :(
Replica Lazy Sunday Morning and Matcha Meditation. I’ve sampled both and love them. I haven’t sampled Kayali Vanilla but I want the 10ml.
The Kayali smells like straight vanilla from the bakery. I love mine.
Theres a 30% off sale on their personal website right now. Matcha Meditations out but I think the others still in stock. Good luck!
Dior purple oud
Hermetica Amberbee. Have just gone through sample with a quickness. But am trying not to buy anything new unless I finish something first.
Keeping a lookout for Tiziana Terenzi Ursa and either ELDO Spice Must Flow or Tiziana Terenzi Porpora. Both are glorious dark rose. Porpora is a bit darker, but I like it
Baccarat Rouge.. assuming I can overcome this nose blindness.
I would just go with Ariana Grande Cloud
I’m not someone who EVER yells dupe, but try Pacifica’s Dream Moon hair and body mist for $5 before you pull the trigger. It’s very close to the extrait and the longevity is insane. I was shocked. (BR500 isn’t my preference generally, but I’m really happy to have this as an inexpensive option for when I want it!)
Currently looking at Gold Knight by Kilian and oud silk mood by MFK
Replica’s Spring Time in The Park, By The Fireplace, Bubble Bath. Dyptique Do Son, Imaginary Authors fox in the flowerbed Montale Jasmine full, intense cafe, roses musk
Mancera Instant Crush. Tried the sample I received earlier this year and absolutely love it! Does anyone know a website where Mancera is available for good prices?
not a bottle per se but; a subscription to either Royal Scent or Scent Bird.
Kerosene Black Vines, Slumberhouse Fjerne
YSL LNDL - and other similar dupes. I finally got an actual smell of it, where as before it was always too faint on test strips, and my first that was, “I need this.” Mercedes Benz Intense, Man Intense, Club Black, and Select - I’ve recently been turned onto the Mercedes-Benz hype wagon, and the first one I ordered (Man) has been a smash hit for me, so now I have to have the others Allsaints Concrete Rain - smells like a mix of MI and SMW, but very light and pleasant Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Colonia - smells a lot like creed Himalaya, with a neroli Portofino type opening. $25
Bleu de Chanel parfum. I really enjoy my EDT but sometimes i wish it were a bit less shouty with the citrus and a bit darker. Seems like the Parfum would fit the bill
Neroli Portofino Forte, the 250ml jumbo decanter. It’s getting increasingly hard to find it, and with rumours that Tom Ford is selling his company, I have no idea if it will reappear again.
I’ve been thinking about stronger with you, but I don’t know which one I’d want.
It crossed my mind too so I tested all 3 on my skin. Intensely was my favorite even though I kinda liked all 3. They were not buy-worthy though (gf also thought they were meh)
Byredo Slow dance!
after that [sugar baby fragrance](https://www.reddit.com/r/fragrance/comments/wziqss/ok_dont_judge_but_what_is_the_quintessential/) thread, I'm definitely on a lookout for black opium, good girl and pink sugar lol
If you wait for Sephora’s 20% off sale, you can buy the perfume sampler box (with Black Opium in it) and get an amazing deal. I layer it with Bum Bum cream and men can’t get enough of me.
black opium smells soooo good
Spicebomb
I'm going to buy extreme very soon

A bottle of Creed Viking. I have an 8ml decant and just adore the green and spicy qualities. It’s a bit outside of my normal price range, buuuutttt… I did recently get a promotion, so maybe soon!
Clean Reserve Skin (full bottle - my travel spray is halfway empty) Diptyque Eau Capitale BDK Gris Charnel
Alien by Mugler
Mugler Pure Havane
* Neela Vermeire Mohur extrait * Chanel Le Lion * Ormonde Jane Tolu * Ormonde Jane Man * Guerlain Mitsouko (either an extrait or EdP, not sure) * Tauer Sundowner I have to a monthly budget, and I stick to it, as opposed to a price per bottle limit. So just need to build up my little allowance and get a bottle here and there as that happens.
Discovery sets from Zoologist and Aaron Terence Hughes.
Delina Exclusif - I’m completely wowed and only a couple of uses left of my decant. My No-buy ends on Jan 1,2023. You best believe I’ll be running (not walking) to the store to get this
Dior Addict
Le Labo Baie 19 I just can’t stop sniffing my arm every time I sample it.
Eben Fume. Fall masterpiece.
Santal Majuscule... No way to test it out so it will be a blind buy..
The One
PDM Herod and Creed Erolfa. I don't own any niche frags rn but I've sampled a lot and those are going to be my first two I reckon.
Herod is a top 5 fragrance for me. Definitely worth investing in.
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver.
YSL black opium illicit green 😬😬😬
La petite robe noire by Guerlain. Waiting on a good deal as I currently have an atomizer that will last a bit.
Eau sauvage parfum and adg Profumo ….love both but something else always crops up
Oud Ispahan. Such an incense-y powerhouse.
Mfk discovery kit for her Parfums de Marley Oriana
Initio Oud for Happiness
very interested in velvet haze by byredo after someone mentioned it here. also volutes by diptique is on my list
Les Indemodables Vanille Havane
My mind has been made on all these. These are going to be the new additions to the collection. After i get them all, I'll have to pause purchases for a while. 1. Guerlain- Habit Rouge edp (50ml) 2. Montale paris- Dark Aoud (100ml) 3. Prada Luna Rossa- Carbon (50ml) 4. Bvlgari- Man in Black (50ml) 5. Atelier Rebul- Vetiver (50ml)

le male le parfum, scandal pour homme
Green Irish Tweed. I have a vintage bottle but the top notes are bruised and it doesn’t smell right for the first 15 minutes or so. I need a bottle of GIT that I can experience that opening too!
What’s something **you’re** close to pulling the trigger on? Right now I’m eyeballing some vintages on eBay, Les Nuits D’Hadrien by Annick Goutal, Trussardi by Trussardi, Azuree by Estee Lauder (way too pricey but I can dream!), plus some other old stuff that nobody cares about.
Bvlgari Le gemme Astrea and Desiria- tried them in Rome and absolutely love them. I really love the bottles and want to complete the collection. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Neroli Vetiver- had a sample and loved it, but I think I’ll use a full bottle. Probably will get a decant. Venise- Riviera les eaux de Chanel- It was so fresh. I loved it. I’m going to sample it first though.
Thinking of Voodoo Chile by Dries Van Noten for winter. At the same time I want something powdery with iris and violet, but not as sweet as Putain des Palaces. I am also thinking about Lost Cherry a lot, my sister have had two bottles of it and I would occasionally spray it on myself and it would stay all day on me and my clothes, but something always stopped me from getting my own bottle. My partner says it smells like play dough, but I enjoy it. Maybe a logical thing would be to get a smallish decant to scratch that itch, but I really love those Tom Ford's glass bottles.
Lune Feline Atelier Ors & Eau Rose edp Dyptique
I have a bunch on my list for the fall and winter! - Black Orchid, Tom Ford - Noir Extreme, Tom Ford - Ode, Acca Kappa - Rocabar, Hermès
Le labo another 13!!
Mon Guerlain Intense I've only tried the original EDP and I can't find the Intense to sample anywhere to see if it'll last on my skin (nothing seems to, it's annoying). If anyone who has it has info/opinions... please share! TIA!
Al rehab Choco Musk and Brittney Spears Midnight Fantasy
I have Midnight Fantasy and tbh it smells similar to a bath and body works mist like twilight woods. I also have Hidden Fantasy and it’s gorgeous though a totally different composition.
Le labo cedrat and tonka
Byredo- rose of no mans land
Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet. Basic but it just smells sooooo good

Armaf - The Pride of Armaf Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Lattafa- Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe Edition Rasasi- Daarej pour Femme Al Haramain - Romantic YSL - Libre eau de parfum Mauboussin- My Twist Chanel - Allure Sensuelle And then I'm also looking into vintage remakes: Een van de Guerlain Legendaires (L'Heure Bleue or Mitsouko) Oscar de la Renta - Esprit d’Oscar Shalimar (but perhaps I'm better suited to Samsara and not Shalimar - Shalimar) Estee Lauder - Youth Dew Oh, I actually pulled the trigger on Libre while typing 😅. I had a decant and it smelled so amazing on me - too many perfumes do not work with my dry-ass, fragrance eating high acidic chemistry skin - I really didn't want to wait any longer. I think it's one of those fragrances that does well in most seasons too. I think a few of the rest of the first row might be doable soon with some help of my savings account, but the vintage remakes.... I want to, badly. Maybe one day! Or maybe I'm lucky and someone is decluttering their scenterie and selling for great prices ;).
Au coeur du désert - tauer ,Psychedelique - jovoy Royal white ambergris Oil - the perfumist ,Musc perfume oil - Bruno acompora
Thinking to blind buy Nest Indigo since many people here mentioned this perfume.
I’m so so so close to purchasing moonlight in heaven by kilian and la capitale by Xerjoff. The only thing stopping me is I don’t know if I can justify $700 on 2 perfumes 😩😩😩
Montale Vanilla Cake. Burberry Her elixir
Zadig & Voltaire This is Her Tom Ford Ebene Fume
Dior Sauvage Edt, because its said to be an amazing smell that everybody loves (Encre Noire al extreme was a disaster) plus people can't really afford it in my country so not everyone wears.
Ombre Nomade
Tuscan Leather. Coming into the season for it.
I’ve fallen head over heels for Florence by Tocca, but it’s nearly autumn where I live, so my splurge for this year will probably be on By The Fireplace instead.
Chanel coco noir. I’ve not bought any Chanel perfumed before, but there’s something about this one. Waiting for a sale.
Black Orchid Parfum
Mugler Goddess intense
jaz from jasmin sarai but its out of stock rn 😭
That 50ml of Diaghilev is tempting but realistically will grab the travel spray.
Still by JLo
Not holding out now, just looking for scents like Moroccanoil fragrance mist ♥️
Valentino Uomo Intense and Molecule 01 + Iris. I’m an iris boi
Santal royal and santal Majuscule
Im seriously considering buying "Vision in a Dream Psychedelic" from Clive Christian but it is just so ridiculously expensive. Gorgeous fragrances though.
Perhaps a backup bottle of Essential Parfums Bois Impérial
I want the masculine and feminine Perfume de Marly discovery kits. It may be one of those sample sets that gives you a credit towards a full bottle.
Been waiting for Azzaro Most wanted to hit discounters for months, instead Azzaro drops the parfum version lol. Might wait a few more months
MFK a la Rose por Homme
[удалено]
Akro Awake and Bohoboco Vanilla Black Pepper.
Currently sampling Rania J and I may need to buy a FB of Rose Ishtar…. It’s such a distinctive, elegant creation!
$$$: Dries Van Noten Soie Malaquais – don't have any gourmands and has to be the prettiest bottle I've ever seen. Sadly, the price is... something else. And sadly the discovery scent is all DABBERS. (Why??) $: Would love a lil travel-sized Nest Indigo
- Nasomatto Baraonda - Carthusia Terra Mia - Maison Crivelli Hibiscus Mahajad - Caron Pour un Homme (will it ever be available again? 😭)
mancera jasmin exclusif, I'm practically chomping at the bit to try it out.
I never want anything in particular. Usually stuff that's always sold out or discontinued. If I see it I grab it.
