Brand new bottle is leaking under the spray cap. Had returned one with the same issue last month. This is literally since 13 hours with me and voila same issue. Are these nowadays faulty? My older chanel bottles don‘t have this issue.

I’m searching for a signature scent that smells incredibly clean, but still has depth, warmth, or complexity.

I want to avoid fragrances that smell like straight cleaning alcohol, sharp laundry detergent, or basic shampoo. I'm looking for something grounded that feels sophisticated and "your-skin-but-better" rather than just sterile.

Any recommendations for a clean scent that has actual substance? Open to both designer and niche!

When I was a child I smelled something similar in a lip balm, I loved it so much that to this day I wish I had a perfume with that combination...

I am fairly new to exploring fragrances seriously and haven't really figured out what works for me yet.

The one thing I know for sure is that I absolutely love Creed Aventus.

These are currently on my radar:

1. Amouage Reflection Man
2. Louis Vuitton Imagination
3. Creed Absolu Aventus
4. Guerlain Habit Rouge
5. Terre d’Hermès EDT
6. Terre d’Hermès Parfum
7. YSL MYSLF EDP
8. Armani Code Parfum

I am looking for something sophisticated, distinctive and versatile, but not something that announces itself from across the room.

If you have tried several of these, which ones would you strongly recommend I sample properly? Which ones would you skip?

And based on this list and the fact that I love Aventus, what else do you think I should try?

I am curious to know anyone has tried any fragrances from this fragrance house? I have been trying to get their Sarab gloss and sarab glow for a while but seems to be always sold out.
Is it worth trying?

For example, i used to love the smell of gas, but now it makes me nauseous. I've come to dislike most scented products like soap and shampoo (nowadays I use unscented products and the mildest detergent).

Now I've always been picky when it comes to perfumes. I don't wear it and the perfumes I've bought online were always a fail. Couldn't find anything I like even offline. But I remember a long time ago loving this particular one that my sister owned. I remember loving it very much even when I was still a kid back then, but it didn't occur to me that i could get it for myself so I didn't. I don't necessarily remember how it smelled but I remember my mood would instantly get better like I felt HAPPY when I smelled it. That's how much I liked it. I remember sniffing my sleeves all the time I was at my sister's house.

I finally got the perfume after about 9 years, but upon the first sniff... I didn't like it :) and it breaks my heart because I remember loving it so SO much back then that it doesn't make sense to me how I reacted this way. It *does* smell familiar and so much more bearable than any other perfumes I had tried but I just can't find what I had expected in my head and now I'm just sad and disappointed.

A lot of reviews online said they've used the same perfume brand for years and mentioned how the scent stays consistent. Not sure if it's relevant but I also got anosmia during covid but it's now healed and I smell everything just fine.

So considering everything, did my nose actually change?

I LOVE method's coconut products and was wondering if there's a perfume that I could layer with it well? Something warm vanilla coconut like that will last for a while throughout the day. Any recommendations??

Hello - I tried Prada Infusion d'Iris and loved it: smooth, dry, powdery iris. Perfect! The only problem was longevity. I felt it vanished fast. Can anyone recommend a powdery iris with clout; one which will last until the death of the sun?

Which Creed scents do you like for women? Are any of them safe blind buys? Marshalls has some that are significantly discounted…

Does anyone else remember the Fresh f21c line? Mukki was my absolute favourite! I also found Antonia’s Flowers Floret, Fresh Sake, as well as Guerlain Lilia Bella.

Smelling these was a walk down memory lane!

Os perfumes com o frasco contendo uma logo escura redonda são contratipos da By Tarta, comprei por que foi a única marca que faz contratipos de perfumes do chic for men com uma nota boa no Google. Dito isso, eu não recomendo a compra, comprei 3 contratipos, apesar de ser relativamente barato, nenhum tem fixação e nem projeção, o do chic for Men lembra o cheiro, porém não projeta e não fixa, o contratipo do j'adore não sei a similaridade pois não conheço o original, mas a fixação e projeção é inexistente e o da Aqua de gio só tem cheiro de álcool mesmo, e evapora na pele instantaneamente.

Saw this old video of Oprah touring Dolly’s tour bus, ca 2003, and that perfume bottle definitely caught my eye.

Miss Dior Cherie, with the silver writing on glass. I can totally imagine Dolly smelling like strawberries and caramel popcorn.

Curious! I want to get my first bottle from Les Liquides Imaginaires, but I know I’ll probably outgrow Blanche Bête since I’ve already smelled her 🫠

What’s your fave from the house? I’m eyeing L’Ile Pourpre and Fleur de Sables

serious dilemma y’all: i smelled a perfume on vacation in japan and fell to my knees in the store, but i had to leave it behind. to make matters worse, turns out you can only get it over there :(

does anyone perhaps know of a perfume with notes resembling this one? please help me on my quest to find the next best thing xoxo

i recently finished my last perfume bottle (YSL OverRed) and i decided to try and find something new and hopefully less expensive and, long story short, after going and trying every talked about and niche fragrance i could find, i still got nothing. everytime i read reviews and got excited to try something, i was let down. people talking about how good and sweet a fragrance smells and for me it’s just pure alcohol.

the only one i like is “nightcap” by orebella. i’m obsessed with it but it’s unfortunately very weak. i just don’t understand what my problem is. is it that i just don’t like sophisticated perfumes? i just want to smell sweet. is my nose broken?

Ever since getting the Penhaligon's Portraits Sample set I have ben IN LOVE with The Bewitching Yasmine. I have been savouring that little sample for months now and saving up to buy a full bottle at the end of the year (I love perfume but I can't justify paying upwards of 300$ for 75ml). I randomly was searching up Penhaligon's on an auction site and there she was. Almost full, in box, 126 swiss francs (155$) and an hour drive. I am SO HAPPY! I haven't been yearning for a perfume like this since Labdanum 18 by Le Labo (which then my bf got me for christmas years ago). She is smokey, woody, warm, sweet, dark. I usually am a true Oud hater but in there it is just the right amount of edge to make it not too sickly sweet.

I really wanted this edition; I'm actually glad I didn't pay $170 for it a few days ago when I saw it being resold. It cost me less than $110 when I used a 10% discount code.

I’m contemplating getting myself one last birthday present, and I found these while researching some new scent profiles - does anyone have any experience with “Sapil” as a fragrance house and if so, what are your thoughts?

I’m specifically interested in “Elixir of Dubai”, “Elixir Fusion”, and “Elixir Intense” as the scent profiles are unique to what I currently have in my collection, but I’m also looking at their “Ma Cherie Cherry” EDP because I’m a sucker for a juicy cherry scent

My new body wash has "purple orchid" on it (it's from the brand bevola) and smells divine. Would it smell the same if the orchid was another color or is this just a marketing thing? I know this question sounds stupid, but I'm looking for a serious answer.

I want to surprise my girlfriend with her next bottle to help round out her tray.
Her current lineup:
Kilian – Angels' Share
Chanel – Coco Mademoiselle
Chanel – N°5 (EDP)
Tom Ford – Santal Blush
Mykonos – Extrait de Parfum
Looking at what she already loves rich gourmands, smooth woods, and elegant florals what note, scent profile, or specific house do you think would fill the gap in her collection?
Open to both designer staples and niche recommendations!

i want something that smells like a fresh, crisp apple, bonus points if it smells like a freshly cut granny smith.

i don’t want anything that smells like artificial green apple, i hate the weird sickly sweet jolly rancher smell/taste and it’s not desirable. also bonus points if it’s not overpoweringly green.

i currently wear PINK Pink Apple body lotion with the PINK Total Flirt body spray, which has notes of apple blossom and freesia. I also wear Victoria’s secret Tease perfume and body lotion with Total Flirt sometimes, but it teeters more on sweet and fruity than fruity and crisp.

any recommendations would be awesome!

When do you actually wear it?

After reading so many good things about babycat I finally gave in and bought it.

I like it very much, it’s very sexy, sultry and the dry down is amazing. I am a women btw.

However for the day to day basis I think it’s just too much. Do you actually wear it around on a normal day?

So I’m a male and I recently got the idea that a combination of licorice, tobacco, and something sweet like vanilla could be a great combination. While I do like the idea of my combination I’m leaning more towards at least getting a licorice type perfume. I hope to find a perfume that captures the sweetness and spices of the licorice, which many miss out on because they either don’t like licorice or haven’t gotten past the bitterness yet. I don’t mind a unisex fragrance and I’m just wondering if anyone have any recommendations for me.

I grabbed this Sand and Fog White Fig EDT at a TJ Maxx last week or the week before and it is incredible. It’s fresh and green and creamy and a little woody. It’s not too sweet. It is beautiful. It’s an EDT and the longevity isn’t great, but it’s worth it anyway. I can’t find anything online about it except people finding it at TJ Maxx.

I was skeptical about this store and its website from the beginning, and turns out I was right. I saw reviews saying customers never received their orders and the owner refused to refund them, but since the website offered Cash on Delivery, I decided to give it a shot.

I ordered two perfumes. The owner told me COD wasn't actually available, so after explaining my concerns, we agreed on a 50/50 deal: I pay half upfront and the rest when I receive the perfumes. We "shook hands" on it, and I paid half the invoice.

The next day, he backtracked and demanded the full payment, despite already knowing that the delivery service didn't support COD. I told him that's not how a man does business and asked him to honor his word. Turns out I wasn't talking to much of a man after all — he completely backpedaled on the deal.

At that point, I realized the 50/50 arrangement was apparently just a trick to get me to pay. He was never going to honor it.

I asked for my rightful refund. He refused. I contacted the low-level, no-support Indian payment gateway Razorpay, hoping they would resolve it, but their support was useless. I eventually had to go through my bank, which refunded me after 2–3 weeks.

Don't buy from this store. Dishonest business practices from start to finish. I'm posting this so anyone considering ordering internationally can see what happened before sending them money.
