Grandmas perfume

Ok so, I have no idea what the name of the perfume is and I’m dying to figure it out as I’m a huge fan of vintage things including perfumes. It’s from the 80s it’s in a tiered pyramid shape and the bottle is made of crystal. I asked my grandma what perfume it was but she couldn’t remember either. I’d love to know what perfume it was. Can y’all help me find it please?

Amouage Interlude Man is a churchy incense fragance?

Hi im searching for a churchy catholic dark fragance especifically in incense (Franquinciense), is the Amouage Interlude Man an good option?, I actually have the dupe of this parfum (Afnan Supremacy Incense) and I love it despite I dont feel the incense really just smoke, and in my city I havent found for a decant/sample of the Amouage so its a good idea a blind buy? (Ofc just if the incense in this fragance is so churchy, catholic and dark)

Hola estoy buscando una fragancia como de iglesia oscura catolica, especificamente en el incienso (Franquincienso), es el Amouage Interlude Man una buena opcion?, actualmente tengo su dupe que es el Afnan Supremacy Incense y lo amo a pesar de que no siento el incienso solo humo, y en mi ciudad no he encontrado un decant o una prueba del Amouage entonces es buena idea comprarlo a ciegas? (Claro solo si el incienso es muy eclesiastico, catolico y oscuro)

Dior just revealed Sauvage Extrait ⬇️

Dior has officially announced Sauvage Extrait, and it looks like it could be the darkest and most concentrated Sauvage yet.

I put together a quick breakdown with everything we know so far, including the release date, the direction Francis Kurkdjian is taking, and why this one might be very different from the previous releases.

Read it here:

I’m so tired of being told it’s weird to wear “Women’s Perfume”

For context: I purchased Your Devotion from Sephora because I fell in love with it. It’s sooo juicy and fresh and I’m a sucker for anything vanilla🤤. I then proceeded to douse myself in it and went about my day. In the local Publix, the lady behind me in checkout line then proceeded to ask me “I love your perfume, what is it?” so I told her what it was and she looked at me funny and went “Oh.. So it’s a women’s perfume..?”. I then gave her one of those “Uhh” 🤨looks and nodded my head. She looked at me like I had two heads.. I thought nothing of it after that and then went to work. Upon entering my coworkers office she too asked me what perfume I was wearing and I happily shared the name with her. “Isn’t that one for women?” She gave me this strange look and I returned the same expression “Does it matter?” and she immediately took offense to that I guess? I walked out feeling so annoyed. I get it, we’re just so used to being told women should smell like vanilla and flowers and men should smell like driftwood and sage but come on, it’s not THAT outlandish.

At the end of the day, I will wear what I want to wear. If it smells good, it’s getting sprayed. God forbid a man smell like a little Melon, Orange Blossom, and Vanilla Milk. 🤨 Let’s just remember that gender in perfume is a marketing tactic and men and women used to share the same bottle of perfume before the industry giants became too greedy.

WEAR WHAT YOU WANT TO WEAR

Do you keep your empty perfume bottles?

I just finished my 3rd Orphéon today.

The fragrance is gone, but the bottle is still sitting on my desk because I can't quite bring myself to throw it away. It feels like such a waste throwing away thick glass, but at the same time I don't really have a reason to keep empty bottles either.

I checked my local Diptyque shop to see if they offered refills, but they don't. I also couldn't find a way to buy a refill online, the only option is to buy a whole new bottle.

It made me wonder why this isn't more common in fragrance. A lot of skincare and beauty brands have refill options now, but perfume still seems to be mostly "finish the bottle, buy another one."

Do you keep your favorite empty bottles, or do you eventually throw them away?

This perfume is such a unique surprise!!!

Smelled for the firt time Bosca Vanilla de Guerlain today as I was walking around Sephora and I was completly amazed by it’s unique sent. I have never smelled such a true and fresh vanilla in a perfume before (and I have been looking for a while).

I had to buy it (it’s my first Guerlain)! It may honestly become my signature scent!

People who know this perfume, what are your toughts on it? Is it long lasting? 🐝

Are colognes/perfumes falling off?

​

I tend to lean to Eros on colognes. I have recently found English Laundry. I also use Kenneth Cole.

I have recently seen/heard a trend where scent is not a plus. In fact, its a red flag that women take into account.

Has anyone heard of this?

Iron Duke Leaking

I’ve been wearing Iron Duke by BeauFort London for a few days now and I’m honestly impressed. It’s a dark, smoky, leathery fragrance with a strong gunpowder and tobacco vibe that feels very bold and atmospheric. Definitely not a crowd-pleaser or an everyday scent, but if you enjoy challenging, artistic fragrances with great longevity and projection, this one is worth trying. It really feels like wearing a piece of history.

One question though: is it normal that the bottle arrived leaking inside the package? The cap and box had some fragrance on them when I opened it, so I’m wondering if this is something other people have experienced or if I should contact the retailer.

VS Bare Vanilla is a waste of money

I just received my mist and I couldn’t smell anything
Absolutely nothing
Feels like I’ve waste my 2k on something that smells like nothing but alcohol
Is it just me who feels this way or is it the same with everyone else?
And please could someone recommend some good vanilla perfume that won’t cause headache and is budget friendly
I don’t like layer wattogirl vanilla so please help me out
