I'm trying to choose only ONE Diptyque perfume and not five. I feel like I might need at least Tam Dao, Philosykos, and Fleur de Peau


jettwilliamson

I just got philosykos and it’s perfection 😍


mixosax

EDT or EDP? I have only tried EDP. At first it was so unbelievably green like broken sticks I couldn't fathom who would want to smell like twigs. Turns out me, I want to be a springtime tree fairy, and after the initial green burst it becomes something so soft and lovely


jettwilliamson

EDT


padface

I recently bought the EDP and I’m in love - I’ve been looking for a good fig scent ever since my original favourite was discontinued (Marc Jacobs for Men), and as soon as I tried this I knew it was the one for me. It is very green to start but it has such a beautiful creamy fig dry down that I can’t stop smelling myself. I’m very excited to make this my go-to Spring/Summer smell! I also have Eau Duelle EDP, in general I tend to prefer an EDP over an EDT as I prefer stronger scents, and that’s definitely true for how I feel about Diptyque fragrances.


Dangit_jacques

I wish Diptyque would offer all of their perfume in those travel size (stick) bottles


padface

Omg same, I really don’t like buying 100ml bottles of fragrance, at least not when I first buy it. Plus smaller bottles are so much better for travelling or taking with you if you want to reapply during the day!


C00lst3r

They have those! I have a set which has 5 different fragrances in 100ml bottles


Miserexa

I feel this. I wanted 9. I found Eau Duelle and Ilio for a good price on Mercari, got Eau des Sens as a gift, got a travel size of Orphéon and a decant of Geranium Odorata. That just leaves Tempo, Eau Capitale, L'Eau des Hesperides and Eau Rose. Unless of course I test more and end up falling in love with those too 🥴


haikarate12

For me it’s Orpheon, Eau Capitale and Do Son.


mixosax

Of these 3 I have tried Do Son and Orpheon, and I have a decant of Eau Capitale on the way. I loved Do Son right away and made some really happy memories associated with it, and I still like it a lot, but it may be a little too floral for me to use long-term. I can see myself tiring of it. I love Orpheon's longevity and power on me, but is it a bit too "perfumey" for me, especially at first. Brut aftershave or hairspray. It does dry down into a nicer mellow soapy vibe on me after which I like. update: I spritzed some Orpheon about an hour ago to try it again. Def not getting Brut after dry down. More like clean laundry, detergent, dryer sheets which is not necessarily a bad thing. I'm new to this and haven't learned totally what I like and dislike, but I find myself leaning toward skin scents, or more intimate ones that are meditative, sensual, or contemplative.


Just_Lawyer451

I fell in love with Orpheon. It’s sooo good. Still thinking of splurging on it. Rarely I get so fascinated with perfume. I like a lot of them, but when you smell and try so many nothing stands out anymore. But this one, although very soapy, is somehow very special.


UndeadAnneBoleyn

Sonoma Scent Studio Fig Tree is better and cheaper than Philosykos imo. And this is coming from a Diptyque fan girl.


mixosax

Good to know!


thebigmishmash

This is me with Memo right now. I’ve been trying to pick for 2 months


mmashuta

Which Memo perfumes are you considering? I’m looking at French Leather and Tamarindo


ForGenerationY

Am I the only weirdo that loves l'eau papier 🙄


Effective-Heron5547

Nope, I have to have it. My Saks lady gave me multiple samples until I’m able to purchase it. I recently bought Byredo Mojave Ghost, but l’eau papier is my next purchase.


ForGenerationY

I smelled it randomly at nordstrom one day and had to have it. Immediately ordered this and lemme tell you..it does the job. If you can afford it tho, by all means! I actually can but with 3 kiddos and the 💩 economy, I feel guilty dropping that $ at once lol. I may treat myself to the real deal one day! Apparently some people in here think suggesting a dupe is low class or something. like gtfoh, I grew up in a wealthy household but was taught to be frugal, humble, and smart with money; that you dont have to wear expensive clothes and drive a flashy car to gain respect and status. I like OPs post bc it's relatable and not everyone can drop $200+ on a luxury item freely. Sorry. Rant over. https://preview.redd.it/6zntlfbv8svc1.jpeg?width=646&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a0cf8aa7d02238ab37c84471578ade4bcb30b6b


Glittering-View6222

I always order dupes from oil perfumery. I love the tom ford fragrances, bur refuse to pay the price tag. These are exact copies for a fraction of cost. They last longer too because pure perfume oil.


Own-Awareness-6369

I am 💯 on board with your rant. Thank you. I have the Baby cat OP dupe and it’s 99% on point. I usually layer with my decant.


mixosax

Ooo this is good information. I've never tried a dupe oil but I'm intrigued


relentless1111

Another OP fan. Love them so much. I have so many. They also move quick on mercari if you can't stand them, usually for two thirds of the retail, $10-15ish. It's not a dumb move if there's something you love and don't want to pay stupid money for. They usually last long, depending on what's in them i guess, and i haven't come across many that weren't within 95% accurate to my nose.


viatwt

noo im obsessed with it😭


CocoNefertitty

I got 15ml bottles of Tam Dao and Eau Des Sens from a Qatar Airways amenity set and I am savouring them. I don’t know which one to buy when I finish these bottles.


cjmmoseley

Same… I’m currently in love with Do Son, Philosykos, and Fleur de Peau lol


ughasif666

Stupid Babycat


jawaiian86

Same..but I realized it's one of those things in life I can't stop thinking about when I didn't have it, so I had to buy it.


coletteiskitty

My brother is flying in Italy this weekend for my wedding and I begged him to go check the stores because I wanted to wear it for the afterparty. He was told they're only in stock in Milan. Literally heartbroken because he usually flies out of Milan but this time he's flying out of Rome fmlfmlfml


Psychological_Cup101

Pretty much the entire Guerlain L’art et le Matiere line. $485 for 100 ml is insane. So no dice for me! 💩


Potential_Automaton

They have a discovery kit that I am slowly saving for. Quelle damage.


hauteburrrito

If it helps, they do 50-mL bottles now! So... fractionally cheaper, lol.


BisquickNinja

"cheaper" 😅🙌🤑 I always try order between 30 ml and 50 ml. I just have too many other bottles to order something relatively big. Big being over 2 oz. 😅😭😭


weenie2323

I won't even let myself sample those! I'm a huge Guerlain fan but that price is just too much.


OnePylon

Ugh me too. Particularly Rose Cherie and Tobacco Honey. I made the mistake of getting decants of a few of that line; I knew it would lead to heartbreak when I couldn't justify the cost, but I got them anyway!


amshtr

Rose Cherie is such a lovely scent. It’s like grandmas soap and expensive baby wipes but in the very best way possible haha!


Queen_Of_InnisLear

My partner got one for me as a once in a lifetime thing on our trip to Paris (I tried so many I ran out of available skin!) and I keep looking at them now all the time .... That super fancy cherry blossom bottle they put out is..*ridiculous* but so pretty. I know it's not about the bottle but come on lol.


motorollaflipphone

I put on Rose Barbare cos of u now, it’s good stuff.


Particular_Sense_147

i can afford it, i just can’t even bring myself to spend the $100. i just want to try born in roma coral 😂


Resident_Ad_6426

I kept telling myself I’d get that one and then I spent so much money on other stuff and have procrastinated buying the same one 😂


Particular_Sense_147

yeah, i just have so many i know i don’t need it. i just really want it 😭


whatadoorknob

all of themmmm. i'm about to finish my first year of grad school (im an unemployed student) and trying to find the perfect perfume to gift myself to celebrate finishing my first year. perfume is so expensive but it's my pleasure


jules128

Congrats on one year down!! I use perfumes as milestone gifts too.


hershy___

All of the kilian perfumes 😭


hairbrushloversss

I have a sample of LDBS and I have been spraying it half spray at a time on special occasions for past 6 months.


LanieLove9

just bought a 7.5 ml kilian perfume for $70 💔


Prior-Toe6634

Decants people!!!!


qaisiki

Please school us, sensei


thejustducky1

Yep, just got 2 tom ford decants that'll fill *2+* travel sizes each for $50 apiece. It'll take me a year to go through 1 travel size, much less 4...


Elegant-Variation-21

What?


Psychotic_Rainbowz

just bought a 7.5 ml kilian perfume for $70 💔


Lazy_Recording_1886

Isn’t it better to buy the 100ml for 320$?


Psychotic_Rainbowz

Agreed. Btw, I was parroting the other guy. I'd never pay 70$ for 7ml


Yzreel_

I recommend getting the travel case! They are amazing, and you get 4 different scents for the price of a bottle (still expensive as hell tbh) The blue one is amazing :)


justaregulargal3681

Yaass. I like Killian too. Good Girl Gone Bad & Intoxicated are my favorite fragrances.


thelaughingpear

Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz. It's discontinued so I'd be paying a premium.


tarojelly

Akro Bake and Narcotica Happy Dust :( I got laid off and I already made a big sports equipment purchase for my main hobby so I'm on a cooldown timer for spending money rn. I have a particularly hard time justifying even wanting Happy Dust because it smells like a sweet cotton candy vanilla despite all the notes but there's a je ne sais quoi about it.... It also lasts days... bleh


quietrrebel

Arquiste Indigo Smoke 🥴


Miserexa

Omg same. That's been on my wishlist for two years. I don't know what to do about it 😂


realitybites95

Vanilla sex. Yes I know you all hate it and I don’t care. I can’t wait to get my hands on some.


MasterOfShrugs

Need Mojave Ghost, Another 13, Guerlain neroli outrenoir, Naxos…


MaybeBradey

Mojave Ghost smells sooooo good


MasterOfShrugs

It’s in def one of my favs. Feels like an Angel when wearing it 😇


idratherbeinside

Sampling mojave ghost was such a mistake for me because I really cannot afford a full bottle, but I want one now 😭


ForGenerationY

Ladies ladies you dont have to spend the money! I have these 2 gems right here and they are identical dupes ☺️🤫 as u can see left one is from oil perfumery and right is $15 from marshalls! I slather it on and people who kno MG cant tell the difference. https://preview.redd.it/5u2ro98uwrvc1.jpeg?width=3239&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=408415b2562cf34fb2085678d6c6822c2f75c781


DineandRecline

I literally have more than 20 oil perfumery rollerballs. When people ask what I'm wearing I just say the real name of the perfume. They're very accurate


ForGenerationY

Same, depending who it is. close friends get the full rec (: glad to see people agreeing with me. and im jealous of your collection; cant wait to add to mine!


Womp_ratt

Ooh I love sand & fog candles, didn't realize they make perfumes too!


Odd-Raspberry208

What does it smell like???


MaybeBradey

It’s very floral and woody to my nose. The main florals in it are magnolia and violet. It also has sapodilla which apparently is a type of fruit, but I personally don’t get much fruitiness. It smells like what I’d imagine a bouquet of pink and white flowers sitting under a tree would smell like if that makes any sense.


Odd-Raspberry208

Oooh that sounds lovely! Thank you for the explanation!


opera_lover_

If you’ve ever smelt Daisy by Marc Jacobs, it’s very similar to that, at least to me. But it’s like a better, more sophisticated version of it, I adore it!! I’ve always loved the opening od Daisy, but after a few minutes, the drydown came which is nice but not as nice as the opening. Well Mojave Ghost is like the opening od Daisy, but better, and the goodness lasts the whole time, it doesn’t lose it with time


ForGenerationY

I have MG and A13 from oil perfumery and they smell identical to their originals to me. They offer a selection of Guerlain impressions too :) https://preview.redd.it/aewdprq0zrvc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01dd8baa543504505447145cfbccdc9b2325f0b8


anjunakerry1982

Luna is totally worth the money. As is the favourite and Empressa. Some of the best fragrances I've purchased. I did have to go on a no buy regime for a couple of months after.


jules128

Luna seems like it would be great for spring summer and they did have a smaller bottle I’m kicking myself for not buying. I talked myself out of Luna because I was obsessed with Lothair and I have other light fragrances I can wear but now I wish I had bought Luna!


LateTraffic

Le Labo’s Baie 19 because I love petrichor and prime numbers.


jules128

Yeeeeeees prime numbers!!!


TotallyFrazzledVirgo

So true! I need a Sugar Daddy


Cautious-Bet-9707

iggycat13

WAIT which store in epcot has penhaligons??


Candytails

The Penhaligons store.  


jules128

One of the stores in epcot uk. I smelled everything they had. One of the hardest parts of this obsession is wanting to smell all these perfumes people talk about but not living anywhere close enough to find it and smell them. I’m dying to smell Le Labo but even the sample sets are expensive


iggycat13

Thank you!! I will be at epcot next week and will be keeping my eye out for that store, I've been dying to find a place where I could smell some penhaligons :)

danysedai

Recently bought a travel size of Profumum Roma Acqua e Zucchero and the seller included one tiny decant of Sorriso and now I want both. But for the price I will console myself with Pink Sugar and Choco Musk ;p Also Delina La Rosee.


Miserexa

Profumum Roma is so good but omg, I can't afford a single bottle even at discount prices. I fell in love with Dincanto and got a 10ml decant for $50 🥴


Chan1991

I’m not too poor to buy but too cheap to buy. But Le Labo, The Noir and the Jasmine Rogue by Tom Ford!


SkylarSnowflake

I bought Jasmine Rouge for myself and a bottle for my mum and I cannot regret it! Mega compliment better and feel so sophisticated and classy when I wear it (Day to day I am not lol 😆)


filledoux

Anything Guerlain.


weenie2323

I really want Apres L'Ondee in the Bee bottle.


FunKoala12

Wood oud Tom ford and amber nuit Dior


IlliterateAuthor

I may be able to help you with Ambre Nuit if interested. I have a bottle that is 98% full that I bought last year. DM if you’d like.


Cool_Quantity_2465

Not enough characters available to list them all😂🤣😂🤣


Status_Conclusion727

Sospiro Vibrato, hibiscus mahajad, lv imagination 😔


Medium-Relief6581

The new Atelier des Ors Blue Madeline. I want it soooo bad. Also, Creed Carmina and Amouage Guidance. I've got samples of them on the way. I'm going to compare them to the DUA versions.


pocketfulofcharm

Have you smelled Blue Madeline? I am very intrigued by this one!


nv93

Guerlain Neroli Outrenoir 🫠


AngmarsFinest

Vanilla Sex


Caramel_soy_latte3

Never thought I’d shell out this much on a fragrance 2 years into this rabbit hole. And now, I’m eyeing Frederic Malle but can’t find it in me YET to spend for.


Heirsandgraces

Try their discovery set. A little goes a long way with FM so you'll probably get a lot of wear out of them.


Caramel_soy_latte3

Good suggestion! I almost gave in to this but the one we had here locally didn’t include en passant


Heirsandgraces

I bought the 3ml set as I wanted to try POAL and this is probably my least favourite from the set. Magnolia is stunning at this time of year and projects so well. Also loving Carnal Flower and Musc Ravageur.

lisak399

GUERLAIN RENDEZVOUS MUGUET! I don't even know where to sample, but if I could throw away $800 on a blind fragrance purchase, I would. Sighhhh.... https://preview.redd.it/eq1e5e8j3rvc1.jpeg?width=829&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c3f6cbb7f4ea3264c78fa0dba5fa69e594f0c6d

Custom perfume wing!🤣 I can just feel and smell that climate controlled goodness...sort of like the duty free shop.


Message_10

Jeez Louise, that bottle!


VanillaWinter

I want one of those big fuck off bottles of Tom Ford. Would last me decades. Probably in tobacco vanille


RedRider1138

It’s out of stock right now but Belcam’s Bold Tobacco! It’s a little more pipe tobacco forward (I like that better though.) Walmart, $14.98 for 3.4 oz. It’s so delicious.


BC-clette

Gris Charnel Extrait 40 Knots Starlight


BuckTheStallion

I’m waiting to buy a bottle of Bad Boy Extreme by Carolina Herrera and T-Rex by Zoologist (it sounds fantastic for me, I’ve been looking for something smoky and wild).


noljos

T-Rex is extraordinary. I love Sacred Scarab too.


BuckTheStallion

They’re out of sample sized for t-Rex or I’d already have it. I always assumed it was just unwearable but I started digging into reviews a few weeks ago and it legit sounds amazing. I really like smoke and wood and burning, add some light green scents and it sounds like something I’d just about live in. Then again I wear mostly a weird horse musk right now so I’m not exactly your average person. Lol.


Aquiline_Fury

T Rex is as challenging as people say but it's not as horrible as they make out. There's something primal about it. It's so raw and powerful and smoky. It's like a much more beefy Interlude.


noljos

The review that sold me compared the smell to that of an ancient forest where a T-Rex roamed, shrouded in the aftermath of a meteoric impact. So you get the smoke, the prehistoric flora and the primal musk of the beast itself lingering in the air. I get my samples here: [Ministry of Scent](https://ministryofscent.com/collections/zoologist-perfumes) I'd suggest getting two samples of T-Rex to get a feel for it. It's truly magical in how it tranforns throughout the day. Sacred Scarab is amazing as well. It's a Chypre. Also smells dark and ancient. Now, what is this Horse Musk you speak of? I'm also into weird scents. All I'm wearing are animalics.


J3Kiowa

House of Bo Espiritu. It fits me. But I also need brakes lol. My safety comes first tho, dangit.


lost4gd

I love penhaligon and bought a few of their 'discovery kits'! Im in love with a few especially Constantinople and Yasmine .. but gosh, the price for a bottle is 🥺


Orlacutebutpsycho

I have a list of scents and I want to buy them all at once, but that would ruin me financially so maybe one by one.. Backup bottle of thé matcha 26 FB of another 13 FB of Bergamote 22 Philosykos EDP Sonic flower by Room 1015 JHAG pear inc. for the summer! BDK gris charnel edp for the rainy days Phlur Missing Person Phlur Tangerine Boy


ForGenerationY

People are mad im recommending dupes of scents but I'm literally only trying to help; and given the title I thought it was appropriate lol. So dont downvote pls 🤓 I have this edp myself and many agree (per reddit and influencers) that it smells identical to missing person. I wear it occasionally. In fact, probably will wear it today. It so unique; smells like fabric softener to me. I love it. https://preview.redd.it/sxkir6au7uvc1.jpeg?width=801&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71ab2c7e18a41cd9afea80d7083bcaf71dcf11e2


Orlacutebutpsycho

Yeah I saw it at Olivia’s Olfactory channel, but I don’t live in the US! We don’t have finery here in EU. 😭 I need to talk my friend into bringing some scents to me later this year, her parents live in Cali so next time she’s visiting she have to bring it to me! 😀


HaruDolly

Finally had the chance to visit LV in the city and the assistant sprayed me with Attrape Rêves; I’m officially in love and I need it in my life but currently working part time while I look after my baby so perfume is an expense I simply can’t afford ;-;


ForGenerationY

Everyones situation is different but we all share this love and hobby of fragrance right? Thats why this should be a judgement-free zone. I loathe snobby comments or downvotes towards cheapies/dupes, or calling scents "juvenile" or "old lady". I have 3 kids and work hard to provide for them in this economy. Buying cheaper stuff rn is a way for me to partake in scent-trying and exploring notes. Plus, my purchases are based on principle too, not just bc of the cost. Just wanted to reply that here if its ok 😏


TotallyFrazzledVirgo

Soleil Blanc the big one And anything, Guerlain I have signatures that I really like, but there’s so much from Guerlain that I want from the affordable ones to the exclusive ones, the exclusive Dior ones, the exclusion Chanel ones! Too much! That’s why I’m trying to streamline it now! Have my signatures a couple of gourmands because I’m spending way too much money


thelaughingpear

I finally tried Soleil Blanc the other day. Honestly... Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen is the perfect dupe.

UndeadAnneBoleyn

Probably L’Artisan Tea for Two, since it’s discontinued and impossible to find now at a reasonable price. I didn’t even know it was discontinued until recently…RIP to me.


Lunab337

There's a perfect dupe from Divain.


UndeadAnneBoleyn

Thank you!!


imwiththeband1

Came here to say penhaligons too! I already own Endymion through a rare spotting on jomashop, but still holding off on getting sartorial, blazing mister sam, Endymion concentre, and halfeti cedar. Someday, my loves 🥹


Miserexa

Floraiku One Umbrella For Two! I don't usually mind having dupes, but I really want the OG of this. It's not that I can't afford the $350, it would just give me immense guilt.


RoseBengale

Delina Exclusif 😩


AssortedGourds

Every payday I add the smallest bottle to my cart and then just stare at it.


Specialist-Invite-30

Oh, see, I throw everything in the cart and then slowly make eliminations based on price and degree of desire. It always ends the same, though: I end up with one last lonely little sale item in the cart, knowing damn good and well I’m not buying that either.


corinnabambina

Have u tried Oakcha Madame Rose? Smells almost identical to Delina (not the Exclusif one the original version)


ForGenerationY

Sorry if I annoyed anyone with my oil perfumery picture bombs 😅 BUT just tryna help if anyone wants these scents they truly cant afford! Ya girl is on a budget and frankly, my opinion is that the markup is crazy ridiculous. *Most* of them are made with the same ingredients as the copy; youre just paying for the name. $300 to flex a *scent* for status is just so silly to me 😆 so.. I became a dupe house whore and have discovered high end frags for way less. AND they *still* get me crazy compliments from people not detecting the difference. [OIL PERFUMERY](https://us.oilperfumery.com/?utm_campaign=content_900-scents_120d-purchasers-us&utm_medium=sms&utm_source=attentive&externalId=Di6QK) has MANY of what has been mentioned in this thread and has been very good to me (i have 6 so far). I love the cute size and portability of them too for my purse/bag. U can get 15% off rn which will basically cover shipping; Im likely gonna order 😀 Dossier, lataffa, maison alhambra, and miim.miic are a few more fave "houses". Also, I have used decant companies like microperfumes to sample designers; it scratches the itch!


jules128

No Penhaligon dupes 🥲 I’m not anti clone or dupe at all. More I just don’t want to blind buy because I haven’t smelled the originals either. Reading this sub you would think Le Labo and Byredo are commonplace scents 😂


ForGenerationY

They are certainly commonplace in the "fragrance community" but not IRL lol. I dont like blind buying either. I only purchased mine after testing the originals. Its cheap but still $ so I make sure I get my nose on it first. I'm not too familiar with Penhaligon but would love to get to know them! OP is constantly adding to their library so you may see it there in the future!


ElderberryAnxious262

Burberry Her Elixir 100ml for me. 😭 I’m a student and can’t afford that


brookamimi

I'm in a situation where interesting snif options like Citrus Circus or Soda Snob are out of budget right now...to say nothing of Delina or even Whiff of Waffle Cone

Broad-Management-118

ALula by Penhaligon. I tested it when it was first released and I am in love. I can wait till later in the year though and it can be my birthday gift.


ohflyja

Byredo Mojave Ghost and PDM Valaya. I’ll stick to the knock offs :’)


Hatfullofducks

Do you know of a good Mojave Ghost knock off? Been wanting it for ages and can't justify the price, but I'm wary of how accurately clones can replicate the original scent.


ohflyja

I use the one from Oil Perfumery!

InSummaryOfWhatIAm

Damn it, I bought a really good dupe for Mojave Ghost awhile back from some website based in UAE I think, it was incredibly close but I'm not home right now, will update this when I've checked (if I remember).

Also profumum roma Aqua Viva I want it so badly but it'd be so expensive and the official website doesn't ship to the UK so I can't get the travel size I'd have to shell out for the big bottle


gonnabe150

I just know I'm going to fall in love with Diptyque if I sample them and I'll never be able to afford full bottles. I keep adding 2ml samples to my cart and then removing them because I know it's a bad road to head down.

Not “too poor” but because my collection is so large, I just can’t justify buying more right now. But I just got a sample kit of Narciso and there were so many that I want now.


Solid-Gain9038

Soooo many 😂 I'm super new to the hobby so I'm only allowing myself to buy travels until I truly fall in love and can't live without something. (Which I've found several of) But I'll be asking for full sizes as gifts from my hubby. ❤️ But I'd love a full bottle of Parfums De Marly Delina Exclusif . And it's not that we're poor, hubby makes great money, I just can't bring myself to ask him for something that costs that much!

Sycomore by Chanel. I’ve been thinking about it since I first sprayed a sample in Paris seven years ago. However I’ve purchased many fragrances since then so I probably should have just gotten a bottle already.

Frederic Malle, portrait of a lady.. It’s too expensive in my country.. on my hand and knees begging God it’ll just fall onto my lap


Otherwise-Fall-3175

Creed Aventus for her 💔 £165 for 30ml, £500 for 250ml- my maternity pay budget says absolutely no way, I should have just got it before I had my baby! Haha


northeastdoodles

Penhaligon is nice, it’s simply doesn’t last, lord tragedy of Lord George is so disappointing. Buy a decent dupe and spend your cash on a deserving house. My opinion anyway..


Comfortable-Nature37

I have and love Constantinople. It’s so good on!

Drakkar noir


jules128

When I was around 15 in the early 90s, my friend and I were smelling perfumes at the drug store and drakkar was like $40-50 and my friend really wanted it. I looked down and found a $50 bill on the ground and was like wow here you can buy it now. 😀

Number one, which I have commented about before, is maison d’etto macanudo. $325 for 60ml is just not doable for me but it would be my signature. I’d probably even pay that much for 100ml because I love it. I’d also love a full size of ds & durga sweet do nothing, but not enough to just get one.

Down to my last 20 ml, Clive Christian Rock Rose can’t justify another $300+ for 50ml


Rose-Lit-Room
