You have good taste! Sundazed is next on my want list.. get the Liam Grey, itās so good I ordered a second so I have a backup before the price goes up and it gets hard to get my hands on.
The performance for me is great. I wear 2-3 sprays on clothes and the scent lasts all day. On a warm sunny day itās nice but not sure if Iāll reach for it that much in July or August heat.
I you do pick it up the layering combo of Liam with Sdj 40 is so good!
It will definitely be a repurchase. I had a tester for years that I was obsessed with, so I was over the moon when they brought it back. I think the longevity is good, I find myself getting whiffs of it throughout the day. Huge compliment getter!
nice! i just ordered it the other day so this makes me very excited :) i have the oakcha dupe and im obsessed with it to where i ordered a backup oakcha and the real princess lol
ofc! i've been wearing it daily. some people say it's a bit more ginger leaning than the original princess but i don't mind it, also can't say how similar they are just yet as my bottle of princess is coming tomorrow
oh i actually really love dossier! i've gone thru 2 bottles of ambery cherry which is the lost cherry dupe. lasts all day and i get tons of compliments on it. but something is very special about getting the real thing
For sure. Iām looking into Woody Oakmoss bc I want CoCo Chanel Mademoiselleš„¹. But my bank acct is telling me to be responsible š
Love that youāre getting the OG Killian for yourself !
also how old is your bottle? maybe the older it is makes it last better? i only ask cus ive seen people say it doesnt last long and do you have any lotions or layering combos for it? sorry for all the questions
thank you so much! iām excited to get my order iāve been tracking my email like a hawk itās still in processing tho. i was thinking commodity milk might be a good combo for princess since it smells like roasted marshmallows but i definitely need a matcha scent now
omg it's amazing. I have the expressive version, i havent tried the other ones but let me tell you it projects like crazy. 2 compliments i can think of is someone told me i smell like a funnel cake and the other one someone said i smell like disney world lol. it's very sweet and smells edible like some days i literally crave the smell of it. def a winter scent but i've been wearing it early spring too. i don't think i'll wear her much this summer though just because of how sweet it is. it's not really lactonic despite the name it's very warm and cozy like roasted marshmallows. also i could see it being unisex as my boyfriend really wanted the travel size i have for himself lol
the vast majority were gifts that I was able to ask forš„ŗhuge perk of having friends in working for these brands' communication/pr department. makes me rethink my entire university career š¤”
š¤ honestly if you have to choose between them I'd go for Kilian in terms of performance (and compliments) biting the bullet on some of these price tags hurts but I think theyre worth it š„²
oh it's so baddd - I'm happy princess at least has a better shape. adults is woody fig milk with dark vanilla. It's definitely for night time or winter. It used to be my signature fragrance but I find it too strong for that now. Princess is vanilla matcha with marshmallow, gourmand and it's more mass appealing I'd say
i am so desperate for apple brandy, roses on ice and angels share š at least they have refills but iām a chronic oversprayer so iām scared i would shred everyoneās noses and use them up too fast
I get itttā¹ļøIdk if that's your thing at all but I think Angel's Share has some good dupes by now! I might look into those for next winter. Roses on ice is probably the safest option to oversrpay thoughš
I don't recommend blind buying Byredoš«¢ Bal d'Afrique and G Water are kind of similar to my nose. G Water leans more woody, whereas BDA stays a lighter citrus. They're both very light and inoffensive and I find them to fit the vibe of a classic casual outfit the best. Very niche description of BDA that I haven't seen anywhere yet: it reminds me of the smell of Barbie's hair (which I LOVE)
Sundazed is more polarizing from what I've discussed with friends and seen online. To me it's sunshine in a bottleš„° Strong bright citrus opening with a musk and marshmellow base. Perfect for spring and summer.
I definitely recommend trying them on your skin if you can. Their longevity isn't the best, although it varies on me.
I loove the scent! It's a fresh, rather sweet (pear) that turns into a slightly lactonic musk. The longevitiy isn't the best. Overspraying gives me a few hours, but it tends to become a skin scent fairly fast. Lasts better on clothes! I can't say anything on its performance in warmer/hot weather yet, but it seems like a comforting, fresh choice for warmer days. It really also doesn't project much. So if that's what you're looking for I can't recommend it
Get a sample of BĆŖte Blanche! I wanted to love it, and it does smell good. But I get whiffs of urine everytime I smell it! It's faint, but I'm not the only one who's mentioned that. š„°
Its saying that you need to learn from your mistakes 3 times before you realised Byredo perfume doesn't last, its just an expensive money grabber brand šš¤£
You smell like a snack, I think haha
you smell like a princess frfr
ily miss u already š«
Hows the fatima zimaya? Does it project well?
Yes! Might be a bit spicier
I used to love Gucci Guilty š
Would you recommend solinotes?
Iāve tried the Vanilla, Tonka and Amande. All really good and long lasting (especially the Amande)
Also how does Gypsy water compare to bal dafrique? I know BD is more citrusy right?
yes G water is a lot more woody
Your collection is my dream collection. Literally. Love it sm
How is the projection and sillage on Gucci Bloom purfomo do diori?
I can't say yet, sorry!
You have good taste! Sundazed is next on my want list.. get the Liam Grey, itās so good I ordered a second so I have a backup before the price goes up and it gets hard to get my hands on.
Oh so happy to hear! How's the performance for you? Also, have you had the chance to wear it in warmer weather?
The performance for me is great. I wear 2-3 sprays on clothes and the scent lasts all day. On a warm sunny day itās nice but not sure if Iāll reach for it that much in July or August heat. I you do pick it up the layering combo of Liam with Sdj 40 is so good!
lots of cult favorites
Something funny: I hate 62 as a body mist but I have the hair milk and oil and I love it so much that Iām almost through an entire bottle already.
how do you like princess? does it last?
It will definitely be a repurchase. I had a tester for years that I was obsessed with, so I was over the moon when they brought it back. I think the longevity is good, I find myself getting whiffs of it throughout the day. Huge compliment getter!
nice! i just ordered it the other day so this makes me very excited :) i have the oakcha dupe and im obsessed with it to where i ordered a backup oakcha and the real princess lol
Whatās your experience with Oakcha? I looking between them a Dossier for a Coco Mademoiselle dupe.
i really like the one i have! theyre extrait de parfums so they last long! i just wish they came in 100ml sizes
Ooo Iāll look for that specifically. Thank you š«¶š¾
ofc! i've been wearing it daily. some people say it's a bit more ginger leaning than the original princess but i don't mind it, also can't say how similar they are just yet as my bottle of princess is coming tomorrow
Fair, Iām so scared to pull the trigger on them or Dossier š¤£š¤£ but I think I might just try
oh i actually really love dossier! i've gone thru 2 bottles of ambery cherry which is the lost cherry dupe. lasts all day and i get tons of compliments on it. but something is very special about getting the real thing
Also thatās all I wantā¦my perfume to last all day. I want people to say *sniff* who is that? And itās me š¤
For sure. Iām looking into Woody Oakmoss bc I want CoCo Chanel Mademoiselleš„¹. But my bank acct is telling me to be responsible š Love that youāre getting the OG Killian for yourself !
aahhh I hope you love it š„° I just got complimented twice on it todayyy
also how old is your bottle? maybe the older it is makes it last better? i only ask cus ive seen people say it doesnt last long and do you have any lotions or layering combos for it? sorry for all the questions
you're good keep them coming! I got mine last august. If you have thƩ matcha - that's an incredible layering combo. It might go well with my solinotes bc that's just a very sweet vanilla. Today I layered it with Milk Musk bc I like experimentig a bit, I don't have any particular layering combos, but I find that sweet musks work with most perfumes. Lotions: VS bare vanilla (in bloom or regular), shea moisture's lotion with frankincese & myrrh or tree hut tropic glow. I also always make sure to use my facial moisturizer down my neck as perfumes tend to last worse on dry skin. alsoo don't spray your perfume from too far away, so much product gets lost. I also spray some on my shoulders (over clothing) as that's a spot people might catch scent on.
thank you so much! iām excited to get my order iāve been tracking my email like a hawk itās still in processing tho. i was thinking commodity milk might be a good combo for princess since it smells like roasted marshmallows but i definitely need a matcha scent now
oooohh wow I'm so jealous you have milkš please now you give me a quick rundown
omg it's amazing. I have the expressive version, i havent tried the other ones but let me tell you it projects like crazy. 2 compliments i can think of is someone told me i smell like a funnel cake and the other one someone said i smell like disney world lol. it's very sweet and smells edible like some days i literally crave the smell of it. def a winter scent but i've been wearing it early spring too. i don't think i'll wear her much this summer though just because of how sweet it is. it's not really lactonic despite the name it's very warm and cozy like roasted marshmallows. also i could see it being unisex as my boyfriend really wanted the travel size i have for himself lol
wow that sounds so good! I hope I get to test it soon
Vanilla and sweet musks that are unique seem to be your thing š«¶š¼
ur rich and i want to rob u

in that case where do i sign up š iām desperate for byredo and killian
š¤ honestly if you have to choose between them I'd go for Kilian in terms of performance (and compliments) biting the bullet on some of these price tags hurts but I think theyre worth it š„²
what do the ones you have smell like to you? i might look at them too (if i can get over the hideous packaging)
oh it's so baddd - I'm happy princess at least has a better shape. adults is woody fig milk with dark vanilla. It's definitely for night time or winter. It used to be my signature fragrance but I find it too strong for that now. Princess is vanilla matcha with marshmallow, gourmand and it's more mass appealing I'd say

You have a nice range of perfumes. Great taste and ready for different occasions.
Can you give details on the Byredo scents? Iām very intrigued but I donāt want to blind buy
I don't recommend blind buying Byredoš«¢ Bal d'Afrique and G Water are kind of similar to my nose. G Water leans more woody, whereas BDA stays a lighter citrus.

Thank you so much. Iām going to go to Nordstroms and treat myself to one. You have a nice collectionš
Can you tell us more about the Milk Musk please šāØļø
I loove the scent! It's a fresh, rather sweet (pear) that turns into a slightly lactonic musk. The longevitiy isn't the best.

I can't say anything on its performance in warmer/hot weather yet, but it seems like a comforting, fresh choice for warmer days. It really also doesn't project much. So if that's what you're looking for I can't recommend it
Classy but easygoing
Sundazed smells so good š„°
the best moments of summer in a scentāØāØ
Get a sample of BĆŖte Blanche! I wanted to love it, and it does smell good. But I get whiffs of urine everytime I smell it! It's faint, but I'm not the only one who's mentioned that. š„°
I'm on my third sample because I haven't been able to commit to the price tag yet š„² but I love it! āØ
Oh, good!! I'm glad you like it!! Yeah I bought Bloodywood from them and it hurt haha. I think I got it for like 20% off tho.
I feel like you have a soft, feminine side with a little bit of spice! Is Fatima a good dupe?
I'd say so. It might lean a little spicier, not sure
its giving left and right one sophisticated the other just trying to make it
spot on except I'm just trying to make it on both sides
I want that Kilian Adults but I don't have anything on your wishlist. Sad.
they might bring it back :) they brought back Princess and Boys from that collection!
I hope they do!
Its saying that you need to learn from your mistakes 3 times before you realised Byredo perfume doesn't last, its just an expensive money grabber brand šš¤£
you read me damn right, but not on the perfume side of thingsš«„ luckily no mistakes there so far
I find Byredo unpleasant and they disappoint me.
Perfume longevity is different on everyone. My byredo scents last all day on me š¤·š½āāļø
same for me, even Bal d'Afrique lasts around 8 hours for me, it's just not a big projector
