Riiffs Fleurie violette - smells like vanilla powder from matiere premiere
Was searching for a good vanilla powder clone from long time recently ordered a decant of this and I won't say this one was the best clone but definitely the best performing one in what I tried. Opens up sharp and screechy rose and vanilla note which some may like others may not , for me I love vanilla powder DNA so I liked it. It smells like cookies very powdery and dry vanilla it has got some mineralic notes too in drydown. This is a projection bomb could even smell on my clothes the other day.
EDEN Adamo Parfum: A Different Kind of Paradise
Until my wonderful colleague Elena Prokofeva reviewed Eden (you can read her review here), I had never really come across the niche house Adamo Parfum. Her review immediately caught my attention, and the more I looked into the fragrance, the more convinced I became that this was something I would enjoy. A bright, clean floral composition with citrus, plum, and woods? That sounded very interesting ...

I will stop being addicted to Nest the moment TJ Maxx stops selling full bottles for $25 a pop
So basically never. I will never stop. I ran through an Indigo and a Golden Nectar in a month and had to grab another. Then ran through a Balanese Coconut. Then I find a Vanilla Bourbon... so of course I buy it. +the currents on my bottom/most used shelf ♡ submitted by /u/Ecstatic_Guava3041 [link] [comments]

What perfume are you glad you tried before buying?
ganymede is one of those perfumes i see getting talked about a lot, so i start thinking about getting a full bottle, i expect it to smell a certain way from everything i read and hear about it, but i stop by a mall and test it on my skin first, the opening catches me off guard because it smells quite different from what i expect, i let it sit for a while and the dry down changes again, which makes me realize how different a perfume can feel from the way i imagine it, i like the scent more after some time,
Pitti Fragranze’s Big Idea: Chocolate!
After time to reflect on my experience and the offering at Pitti Fragranze this year, the only trend I came away thinking was representative of olfactory union in current niche was chocolate. It’s being done in a new way. Viktoria already wrote about craving chocolate in Florence and some corresponding scents, but in this article I’ll detail what I think is happening with chocolate-designed perfum...

Ralph's Club New York
As someone brand new to this, I recently came across (somewhat by chance) this fragrance as one of my first. Ever since, I have smelled various fragrances, though I have found that, in the end, I like this one a lot. As someone especially new to this, knowing that there are some small details of this fragrance that are not my favorite, I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on this fragrance. Generally, I have found myself to enjoy polished, sweeter fragrances, and I am curious what other similar fragrances are out there.
Has anyone else layered these yet?? Literally my favorite right now
So i dont own much nice perfume. However, I worked in fragrance in high school and started doing it again recently. I was always obsessed with Versace yellow diamond and would happen to spray it on my wrist (at the same time as the card) when people sampled it and finally decided to treat myself. I've been loving the Valentino Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy and I decided to splurge and get both scents... and then I tried them together. Mind blown. My absolute favorite now
CHRISTIAN PROVENZANO PARFUMS Vanille Astrale
At TFWA 2026 in Cannes, I met Master Perfumer Christian Provenzano aboard the Plethora yacht, where he presented his latest creation, Vanille Astrale,for his own niche collection, a true and gentle ode to vanilla. After vanilla’s remarkable dominance in 2023, it continues to return in smaller waves, bringing with it some true gems of perfumery. As I explored the new fragrances presented in Cannes ...

What is your favorite fragrance from Etat Libre D'Orange brand?
What are your favorites from this brand? I need to pick 4 for the sample kit and have no idea where to start! My favourite fragrance in general so far is Le Labo Baie 19, but I want something new now that I'm running out, maybe something more feminine leaning but just as complex and maybe a bit unconvetional. Edit: well guys, I'm even more confused now. submitted by /u/myneighborscatismine [link] [comments]
On Givenchy’s Striking L’Interdit Elixir
It is absolutely impossible to pass the new L’Interdit Elixir by without taking notice. Its luxurious bottle, reminiscent of an enormous ruby, stands out far too vividly against the other fragrances in the collection. And although I cannot say that recent L’Interdit releases have filled me with enthusiasm, in this case, curiosity got the better of me. As it turned out, with very good reason: L’Int...

Byredo Havana Wonka is heavenly but how likely do they put out smaller sizes?
Just discovered this scent yesterday in-store and it was amazing. I'm still smelling the scent card today and obsessing over it however its $465 for 70 mL.l which is quite a large bottle. Can anyone who's familiar with byredo and their collections, provide any information or if this will turn into a travel size or generally just something more reasonable? submitted by /u/loiwhat [link] [comments]
