If I do end up purchasing a bottle, I’d be happy to sell/swap a decant!
comment in response to post
That’s good to know! I’ve been interested in vow factor so maybe I’ll order a travel size when I use up my le labo decant!
comment in response to post
They really do!
comment in response to post
I know! I tried to write it off in my head to force myself not to want it but I failed and now I need it 😩
comment in response to post
omg let me know your thoughts when you try it! I’ve hated every other honey scent I’ve tried. But this one isn’t too sweet or cloying! (Though I guess my feelings could change as I wear test it)
comment in response to post
It is!! But also what makes fragrance such a beautiful form of art!
comment in response to post
I love soft tension!! It’s also by far my most complimented scent and introduced me to one of my fave perfumers (alienor massenet) 💕
comment in response to post
We can compare notes!! 💕
comment in response to post
I’ll definitely let you know if I try it! Also my sample of love at first sight arrived today. I’m excited to try it soon! ☺️
comment in response to post
I’ve been so interested in this one and now I’m both more interested and deinfluenced at the same time?
comment in response to post
I’ve been interested in trying more Henry rose! I do find it hard to stomach the cost for them, though
comment in response to post
This is really pushing me to retry it as an edp!
comment in response to post
Oooh I’ve never even heard of this one! Excited to give it a try!
comment in response to post
Other people also seem to love Guerlain vetiver, so I’ll have to check it out
comment in response to post
That’s good to know. I probably should just stick with getting a decant of sycomore then!
comment in response to post
I’m intrigued by the addition of resins and vanilla!
comment in response to post
I was so impressed by it! It’s hard for me to like an orange scent!
comment in response to post
Encore noir is on my list! Have you tried the intense version too? I’m debating between the two. Sycomore really blew me away
comment in response to post
I’ve been eyeing encre noir! Have you tried the intense version too? I’m trying to decide between the two
comment in response to post
It shot high to my list of roses to sample!
comment in response to post
They’re so good!! I haven’t been a fan of any other ones I’ve tried
comment in response to post
I love cherry punk! Sweetleaf was also really good! Agreed on vetiver, would love to see it used more in more “feminine” fragrances
comment in response to post
ooh I’ll take any excuse to try a room 1015 scent!
comment in response to post
To be fair, it’s a big mall, so I was able to spread this out over like 4ish hours!
comment in response to post
I tried where the wild things grow ii in the oil version and it wasn’t my jam but I would definitely revisit it in the edp. Cape Heartache has been on my list of scents to try for a while though! I’m due for an IA exploration
comment in response to post
🍐 pear jam by nette - shocked by how much I liked this. Would wear test. 🥛 xtra milk by dedcool - fine. didn’t wow me. white musks don’t move me. ⚡️ everything in Zara - too screechy for me. but nothing got a fair shake bc there weren’t any test strips
comment in response to post
🍦 Vanilla skin by Phlur - yeah I want this. I understand the hype. 🍓 Santa Barbara Strawberry - heartbroken bc this was wayyy too sweet 🫖 the vanille by nette - almost walked out with a travel of this one!
comment in response to post
🍊 Clementine dream by 7 virtues - usually not a fan of orange but this was 💯 🌸 Gucci flora gardenia/magnolia - confirmed magnolia was the one I had in high school 💐 Rosie by Rosie Jane - none of what I say about white musks in this thread applies to her. I love her. She’s perfect.
comment in response to post
🌿 orpheon by diptyque - very clean girl. like it a lot but this doesn’t do it for me 1️⃣3️⃣ another 13 by le labo - i hated this. I don’t get it at all. So screechy! 🌹 rose 31 by le labo - I’m on my rose journey and this one is coming with me
comment in response to post
I’m also on this hunt! The closest come is fraaagola salaaata by hilde soliani, but that still is a candy strawberry lol And I love smelly kelly! I should really mine her strawberry videos for inspo
comment in response to post
Maybe I’ll give this another try! I’m beginning to accept I may never find my perfect strawberry. They’re just too complex to recreate!
comment in response to post
I will! And agreed. I’m so glad someone else gets my need to smell like I’m drenched in lilac
comment in response to post
Let me know how you like tears! I have a sample of love at first sight coming soon too, which I’m excited about. I haven’t tried nosferatu but based on the notes it sounds like a colder lilac, so hopefully it’s different enough that you like it!
comment in response to post
Omg! That’s exciting!! I feel like we’re all so hidden here.
comment in response to post
I made a list of all the ones I want to try in the future!
comment in response to post
Dream sequence is so good!! I’m a fan of universal flowering’s lilac, so our tastes might differ! My most beloved is tears by regime des fleurs. Pacifica’s French lilac is a shockingly good cheapie! Lilac city by DS & Durga was a surprise fave. Also Lilas by Osmofolia!
comment in response to post
I’ve been in a lilac scent rabbit hole for a year now! They’re so good! Which ones are your faves?
comment in response to post
I’ve tried champaca and I really like it! Not my normal type of scent but it’s lovely. The vibe is like Ralph Lauren Americana casual but classy. Effortlessly beautiful
comment in response to post
I’m so sorry for your loss 💕 sending love
comment in response to post
Thank you 💕💕
comment in response to post
lol I feel that. Not sure how deeply I want to delve into the horrors today 💕
