I’m looking for a perfume that lasts a long time but smells fresh, clean, and fruity—like you just got out of the shower. 🍋🍐🍊
I don’t want anything too heavy, sweet, or overly floral. I’d love something that gives a clean, fresh, fruity, “just showered” vibe and has good longevity.

First post in this sub! I’ve been packing for my first year of college, and thought to share the scents I’m bringing with me. I left behind empty or almost empty bottles, as well as perfumes I thought I’d get more use out of in another season (Spring). Hope you like it!
I sniffed the juicy apple yesterday at Sephora!
I absolutely loved the smell but just wondering if it’s worth the price does it have good longevity?
Or is there other apple scent perfumes that you would recommend? I just really like juicy perfumes
I’m thinking a darker perfume with flowery notes, not to overly sweet and something that can be worn for autumn… Maybe a little goth? What is your vibes?
Since Maison Margiela’s Whispers in the Library is discontinued, I’m looking for a good dupe or alternative for Fall/Winter.
I especially love its opening—that dry, peppery, old European library vibe with dark wooden bookcases and yellowed paper.
Open to any format: EDP/EDT, perfume oils, room sprays, or candles!
Dealbreakers for me:
No strong florals
No Oud
No milky or temple-style sandalwood (like Diptyque’s Tam Dao)
Any niche, indie, or designer recs that capture this exact atmosphere? Thanks!
Moonlight Ceremony by Mystikum! I knew instantly tbh. It used to be Tyrannosaurus Rex by Zoologist but it leans super floral on me now, then A City On Fire by Imaginary Authors. I am addicted to Moonlight Ceremony though, she's absolutely beautiful.
I ask this question after a video I saw earlier by the content creator ghoul.in.japan where she discussed her collection, especially her collection of toskovats fragrances. She talked about how she believes that people overreact about how bad Inexcusable Evil actually is. Toskovat is definitely a house that is made to be offensive on the nose but I do have to agree with her point.
I own other fragrances/perfumes that people say the same about Hyrax and T-rex by zoologist. They definitely are not everyday wear but I don't think are anywhere near as bad as people present them to be.
Of course everyone's noses are different and everyone else has their own opinion so I wonder what other people think?
I went into my local store the other day and one of my friends told me to go smell some of this brand’s perfumes. Holy shit! Never thought I would find a brand that makes such good floral scents and am curious if any of you guys had tried this one before. Definitely will be testing more of those. My favourite one for now is the one in the picture, it’s Floraiku Sleeping on the roof. Enjoy, and if you try it you must try it on skin because it evolves so much with time. I’m man btw even though i used to think floral scents were for women.
I tried Grass in the store and thought I liked it (even though it doesn’t smell like the original), but now that it’s home I’m not so sure. Heaven and Dream also smelled good in store and really brought me back but I didn’t buy them. Thoughts?
So i bought Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille 100ml and yes again a blind buy after Tuscan Leather & Ombré Leather Parfum!
Review- Opening is sharp Tobacco & the vanilla note working so nice behind it. Still a classy scent in winter you can wear! Some Aromatic & spicy top notes i can smell and that dry down with a strong tobacco and sweet same time! And cocoa & dry wood i can smell.
Longevity- 9/10
Scent- 9.5/10
Projection- 10/10
It’s an incredible perfume for winter 10/10. Definitely people will notice you after wearing this! Definitely lasting over 10-12 hours on your skin.
I have some niche fragrances and still i would say Tom Ford give you a niche quality of perfumes in designer bottle. :)
Idk why they all smell like barnyard phonk to me
Is it just me or does anyone else feel this way?
I have been looking for a jasmine scent perfume for a loooong time... I am looking for something delicate, floral, light and warm. But also feels elevated and fancy. I want something that smells like jasmin green tea without the tea smell if that makes sense?
I have tried these already :
- Gucci Bloom Jasmin ( too "childish" not fancy enough and doesn't smell like jasmin enough)
- Lust from Lush (there's a hint of spice or something else I don't like)
- Jasmin 17 from Le Labo (almost perfect but a bit too orange and vanilla to my taste)
- Lys 41 from le Labo (Really loved it... would love a similar one cheaper)
-Olène from Dyptique (like it, but not warm enough)
- Muskara jasminium from Fueguia ( perfect smell but way to expensive lol (about 900$ CAD)
Note that I live in Canada so the perfume needs to be available here if possible
Thank you for your help!
I love Phlur scents so much and I blind bought one of their hair and body mists, the cashmere skin one. To my surprise, I sprayed it, and it smelled like something I’ve had before. It smells like the maker’s dream perfume! They’re really expensive tho so I got a mini.
The dream is of my favorite scents to wear in the fall. Phlur’s mist is definitely a softer version, a little more vanilla-y scent of the dream (the dream is a little more smoky) but I think it has the same longevity and I reach for it right after a shower. It’s a great dupe if anyone is interested in knowing! I thought I should share :)
I have been eyeing this 90s powerhouse for a while and finally put my hands on one and the bottle design is a masterpiece, every detail tells a story, the golden color, the triangular shape, the gourmand background. I feel like fragrances in the past had more substance to it. I know Givenchy probably spent dozens of millions of dollars to create this perception I have now, but the french create perfume like no other, it's a piece of dream for sure. Honestly, the performance and longevity stay in the background, I'm getting possibly 4-6 hours, but I'm shy and prefer not to bother people with strong scents, I value how alluring a fragrance is, and this vanilla-almond combo is delicious
Making an order from victorias secret and want to get myself a little bday perfume during their sale!

Can anyone recommend a perfume that smells like this honeysuckle body oil from beaute de provence or can anyone tell me if it would work if I put it in a spray bottle. Cuz love the scent but not a fan of the dropper to apply it.
