Thoughts on my collection my people?
I’m looking for a couple vanilla fragrances, any recommendations?

I tried it on at a local Macys the day it came out, had no idea they were going beyond the elixir. I must admit I think it’s more alluring, bold with a smooth (not overwhelming) dry down. Longevity the same as the elixir but is it worth it $210?

Only a month ago, I knew absolutely nothing about designer or niche fragrances.

All I had was my gifted Dior Sauvage EDP, which I’d been using for almost a year.

Admittedly, I first got into fragrances because I kept getting compliments about how I smelled whenever I wore Sauvage. So about a month ago I decided to actually look into fragrances properly.

That was a beautiful mistake.

It introduced me to a whole world of scents I had no idea existed. I started watching reviews, looking into different houses and eventually started buying fragrances and I couldn’t hold myself back.

Rn my top 5 are:

1. Hibiscus mahajad
2. Grand soir
3. Bois imperial
4. Dior homme intense
5. Stronger with you intensely

Considering I only discovered fragrances recently I’m already completely hooked.

What would you guys recommend I try next based on my top 5? (Hint I like my vanilla notes)

Lmk your thoughts on these two if you’ve smelled them or if you have them!

Pardon the mess around them I stopped at Neiman Marcus before I came to work.

I’ve been trying to find this cinnamon spicy/ vanilla warm scent forever angel share was close but I wanted more cinnamon and boy this is it.

I wasn’t even planning on getting amyris but once I smelled it I just had to have it. It’s just an amazing scent I’ve smelled maybe 10 mfks and this is the one that stuck with me.

Excuse me while I go console my bank account it’s been fucked hard today. 😮‍💨

Left Sephora nose blind with a headache today😅 I enjoyed this new Armani I will fragrance though, decided to buy a travel size and if I like it I’ll buy full size when it hits discounters.
In the store I tested it on paper & on skin.
It’s been almost an hour and the dry down is pretty great, it does remind me of something but I can’t pin it.
Not a bad release IMO.
What will the flankers be named? 🤣

Went in for BdC Parfum, walked out with AHSE. I debated with myself for a long time. I have Superleggera, but it’s quite a bit different than AHS and AHSE.

BdC Parfum is great, but it’s too similar to L’Ex to justify owning both, and EDP was my go-to for many years, but it just doesn’t hit the same for me even though I’ll always consider it one of the goats.

What’s y’all’s favorite guys Chanel?

Woody and dark with enough light to make a grown woman cry- Dior

What’s your favorite fragrance from Xerjoff?

Mango Ice 9/10

Afnan Supremacy collectors edition 9/10

Valentino Extradose 9/10

These ratings are just on first sniff. But damn do they smell good. I probably should have given them lower ratings because I have not really tested them out in the wild but oh well. I can't wait to try them out on my skin and on clothing. I picked some good ones 💪🏿😊 all blind buys by the way.

Let me know what you all think! I’m 21 and we’re just going to drinks and a movie. I want to add I’m in Texas and it’s still like 85 into the night so pretty warm. Thanks!

Guess I have to move the wedding forward

Need fragrances that smell or come close to smelling EXACTLY like these pictures. One for pics 1 and 2, one for pics 3 and 4
