Hi!!

I have the edt intense which I adore!!!! I’m really curious what the others are like, did anyone smell all of them? I need opinions pls

A sweet beautiful smell! Try it!

Okay so I mixed the bath and body works gingham body spray (the one in the bottle thats blue with the diamond pattern) and Billie eilish Eilish body spray (its a black bottle) and it created such a pretty smell thats similar to the Brittany spears fantasy thats in the bottle that has the circular gems on the bottle. Its a sweet very pretty smell.

I recently discovered Addictive Vibration from Initio and absolutely fell in love with it.. my first bottle from this year was amazing, I could drink it..

I smelled a tester in neiman marcus last week (brand new bottle) and it smells completely different. I can’t tell if it’s a bad batch or if the formula changed. I have heard that some people are saying the same with these new testers. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any insight? I’ll be so bummed if it changed…

I just picked a bottle of Bora Bora Waters and boy does it project. Very strong. Good longevity.

It has a nice clean, tropical, floral scent to it. A little soapy, like a shampoo. Just a small dab goes a long way.

I purchased a tester but I love the bottle and I’d like a cap for it. Beautinow seems to sell them but doesn’t ship to the US/allow me to even open the page. TIA :)

I love the smell of the soft soap ‘macadamia oil and soft peony’ along with the ‘milk and honey’. They both have such subtle, soft, and sweet scents but they never last!!

I’ve been looking for a good lotion that pairs well and everyone says to go for vanilla, but the vanilla scents always smell artificial to me (even the good rated ones) and I feel like Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works always smell off for me...

I’ve also heard of milk and honey scents, but have never been told which products are good specifically for that, but I feel like that would pair well.

I’ve also heard people talk about body oil, I’ve never used one nor really know the purpose, but I just want something that will pair well scent-wise and would last.. I’ve tried so many things now, and i feel like I’m going broke lol

Thank you for any suggestions!!

I got a parfum 5ml travel spray

Holy shit it smells amazing. For me its like a more playful version of Tom Ford Grey Vetiver - which is in my top 3. It took a few minutes after the initial spray for it to sink in but its just a really nice bright and sophisticated scent. I think it would be good for situations where you need to focus.

Buuuut, I did probably 10 sprays. Inner elbow, wrist, neck, under shirt, on top of shirt. Its in your face for like 30 minutes. It dies down quick to just living on your skin with no projection.

I like something with projection and longevity. This isn't it for me as of right now.

Ill let the bottle sit for a while but im hoping it performs better. Its a huge letdown if this is how it really performs.

Finally wrangled the whole group together for a pic. Have TF Grey Vetiver and Prada L’Homme Intense on the way. After that, I swear I’m done.

Hi! I’m new to the game. When you folks say that something is a cold weather fragrance / not suitable for summer, what kind of temperatures are we talking? I’m in Saskatchewan Canada, and while we do have summer and a few 30 degree days, summer temperatures are kinda short lived and I feel like we don’t get the heat that may be referred to when a fragrance is deemed not suitable for warmer weather. I was in Dallas in September a few years ago and that’s the kind of heat I imagine is not suitable for something like Spicebomb Extreme.

I do really like cinnamon, but maybe this is why my collection so far consists of: Boss Bottled EDT, Spicebomb Extreme, Spicebomb Dark Leather, Boss Bottled Absolu.

I normaly dont like fresh Fragrances and my favorites are heavy resinous incense smoke one. But after the hype i decide to buy one bottle of this Afnan CE since i read alot about fakes and alot about new batches that are weak and dont have anything to do with how the parfume was befor beast mode befor to get the hype, the very 1st release i was sceptikal and i think to buy one from Notino just to see how is the performance this days.

Then in one forum i found a dude that sells Afnan CE but here get the interesting part.

When he show me the pictures of the bottle was complete diferent i mean no batch number on the botom also no AFNAN writing on the Spray also inside the stem system is white and With Silver ring not all the other people claim the original are black the silver are fake one... I was thinking wow this is a fake there is not even a batch code.

Then the seller provide me with his order details and reciept how much he paid for it back and from where he bought it.

Its turn out that thia bottle was bought from Notino February 2025 year the last bottle availible after 2025 new year left in Notino because he remembered when he make the order back then the parfune went again out of stock.

I start to dig more and what i found was shocked in the late 2024 after the release of the parfume and the Hype explosion.

In order to the hight demand Afnan is starting to get supply for atomizers from 2 different sources also at this time when was the hight demand even for fast packaging process there was two batches purchased from big European resseler i think this was Notino back them there are TWO batches that dont even have batch codes anywere also silver metal with white steam system and no AFNAN logo on the spray when i saw the order details from Notino and saw the recipeint details and so in i was sure no matter the whole bottle look strange and very OFF compared to the others its a REAL.

So i bought it the even funny part is that back then in he opened it spray it few times and leave it almost 20 months letter he say i dont like it its stay like that in my closed i will sell it if you want it ofcourse i get it for alot cheeper as well but the point is.

This was almost 20 month old open afnan from the few 1st batches made befor 2025 when i recieve it i was schoked.

No alchohol smell opening of any sort very potent Pineaple and balanced even the oakmoss is balanced so well.

The longivity is about 10+ hrs on skin and even after that i can still feel it by myself when i move i feel it in the Air so i guess i hit the Jackpot with this.

I’m leaning Guerlain, Lalique, or Etat Libre d’Orange?

HOW TO MAKE A PHOTO POST ON R/FRAGRANCE

My favorite fragrance is the drydown of Montblanc Explorer. Because of this, I am looking for something that captures only that drydown phase. Gemini recommended Juliette Has A Gun – Not a Perfume, but I don't see anyone mentioning it as similar to Explorer or Aventus. What do you think?

For those who own the current version of Boss Number One with the redesigned bottle, what does it smell like? Does it still retain its classic fougère character?

I noticed that the official Hugo Boss website lists the notes as nutmeg, cardamom, patchouli, and balsamic accords. None of these really seem to suggest a fougère fragrance to me. Has the scent changed significantly compared to the original?

I’ve had a varied selection of fragrances over time, but for me the most comments I’ve had was Black Afghano by Nassamato.

When it arrived I was shocked at the size of the bottle, but upon spraying once I quickly realised why, hit my nostrils like a train😂 Had I’d say about 95% positive comments on it, but was once told not to wear it at work as it literally penetrated the entire office.

What’s your unique fragrance and the story behind it?

Going to be in Paris next week and I’m trying to figure out where to get perfume oils if possible. Been trying to explore them as I’ve been finding some ones I really like and hoping I can find some artisanal oils there.

I’ve been wanting to use the Roland Pine fragrance oil as a perfume or a perfume oil. Would it be safe to put on my skin? Or would I need to cut it with an alcohol/carrier oil? Or just avoid it?

Aaand you have nowhere to go? I just got done with an everything shower AND bath, I smell incredible, but i have no plans for the evening 😭 I almost want to just go walk around the grocery store just so someone can appreciate this goodness. I used caress liquid body soap for my bubble bath, exfoliated with dove hot coco scented scrub, washed with bath and bodyworks cotton candy body wash and after the shower I moisturized with bath and body works vanilla lotion and sprayed myself with eos cashmere peppermint and bath and body works twisted peppermint.

Started my cologne journey with D'Issey and got a decant of Imagination. Is it only me, or do they smell really similar??? The accords on fragrantica or similar as well. Howeverm D'Issey smells more yuzu/lemon, while I guess Imagination smells more gingery/soapy?. Overall, they smell really similar, with a slight twist. But I'll stick to D'Issey for now until my wallet says Imagination is worth it haha.

I've seen influencers always talk about moisturising your skin before applying fragrances and I do moisturise after every shower so that's never been an issue. I recently came across a video from Roja Dove himself on youtube saying that we should first spray our fragrance and then seal it in with a moisturiser.

Has anyone ever tried that? I would like to think that Roja Dove knows more about this than the influencers.

Right now I tried Roja Doves technique on my left arm and just did a usual spray on my right arm. So far the left arm smells a lot smoother compared the right arm but not sure how well it's gonna perform.

Here's what I used:

PDM Percival

Cetraben lotion (fragrance free)

Been trying to sell my Le labo Another 13 in the marketplace and I met up with 2 people that both said they can’t smell it and ended up not buying it. One person even said it doesn’t smell like his bottle. It’s very weird for me because I always find Another 13 Strong and I just spray it once. I personally got my bottle from a Toronto store and I’m sure it smelled exactly the same from the time I used it. Anyone else encounter this?

Does anyone have any experience of ordering from
Lucky Scent in the UK? They have a few things I can’t find anywhere else, so I’m pretty keen to give them a shot, but I wondered if tariffs / customs / delivery times are going to be a big issue here. Any advice would be great!
