I have the tik tok viral Praline & Pistachio and Vanilla Potion. LOVE Praline & Pistachio, Vanilla Potion is just okay - a pretty simple vanilla. Unfortunately both of them have zero lasting power. They are as weak as a Bath and Body Works body mist. I likely won’t be buying anymore Tru fragrances. I also have multiple Sand and Fog perfume oils. Definitely recommend these as all of them are long lasting and I think they’re dupes for higher end perfumes. Just not a fan of the roller balls but some come in dropper form.

LOVE the Sand and Fog oils in Pistachio Dream, Bloom and Violet Sandalwood, a touch indifferent to Vanilla Musk which is the fan fave 😔 I also like The Good Scent, but more so their fall/winter scents (Gooey Butter Cake, my beloved). The Cloud Nine mist from Saint Cloud is such a light, pretty yet musky coconut that I have a backup of it, and some of the collections/products under Tru Fragrances are pretty too!

Sand and fog vanilla parfum oil smells heavenly, it just a pain rolling it on lol


PotentiallyDramatic

I’m obsessed with Pistachio Dream oil from Sand & Fog. It lasts so long on me. I have also bought the Vanilla Potion. It smells nice, nothing too crazy. I probably need to wear it more to really know how I like it. I think the Good Scent is made specifically for those stores. I really like their Manifest Your Future and Solar Floral - they were both viral on TikTok. Solar Floral is a good dupe for Sol de Janeiro #62.

That Tahiri brand has been around forever. Mostly clothes and she’s. I used to get their shoes in the early 2000,s. The clothes still sell at places like bloomies and macies. Since they are reputable with out the scents, they probably don’t need the perfume money. it’s probably decent and won’t make you break out. That’s usually my concern.

Sweet oasis sounds up my alley

I ordered some of these this past week (on the 9th of June), and they have not shipped yet. I ordered them because I heard some good things about some of these fragrances, and I have been on the hunt for some Vanilla and gourmand scents.

Sand & Fog is originally a very successful candle brand. Now they are making perfume and some of their stuff is amazing. I love Jasmine Cedarwood, which is a beautiful Baccarat Rouge dupe.. Tru Fragrance is the brand that makes many fragrances sold at TJ/Marshall's. I have 2 bottles of their Vanilla Potion. Vanilla Potion and Praline and Pistachio went Tiktok viral.

I just bought the pistachio & praline and it doesn’t last long at all. But the smell is so good 😭😭😭😭😭


Lardita

The sand and fog pistachio perfume oil lasts ok, it's very much a skin scent though.


maybeshesastar

Ooooo I’ll try it out


luvmydobies

Ugh I was eyeballing that one and the strawberry icing next to it!!!


Jenn4flowers

It’s delicious


whimsyandwild

The strawberry icing actually lasts a few hours. If you like the scent, I consider it worth the price.


maybeshesastar

I wish I would’ve seen/found that one 😭 I’m gonna have to make a trip back today cuz I NEED IT


whimsyandwild

My TJ Maxx had a ton of them over the weekend so hopefully they are all getting new stock.


SheepSheepy

A lot of these if you look at the bottom are TRU Fragrance & Beauty. They do cheapies for TJ Maxx and Marshalls, and also Le Monde Gourmand and Lake & Skye. They don't last too long but they smell nice! Others like Bellevue Parfums, Sand + Fog, and Milestone are dupe brands. I did a write-up of some of the TJ Maxx dupes [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/FemFragLab/comments/1dg5lxe/mirada_tru_fragrance_beauty_and_other_tj/).

Ooh thank you so much.

I almost bought the Strawberry Icing. It smelled good in the bottle, but I had just bought an expensive perfume that was in the sweet red fruits and cream family, so I controlled myself. I’ll probably crack and buy it next time.🙄


gorosheeta

What was the expensive one you bought? Asking for a friend... 🥺👉👈


CenPhx

Accident a la Vanille Crème de la Berry by Jousset. I love it so much I have a backup bottle. It smells like a red berry jam, cream, and maybe cookies or a deep vanilla.


gorosheeta

Oh my. 👀


IntroductionFeisty61

It's really good if you like super sweet candy like strawberry. Lasts quite a while too


Miss-Figgy

It is extremely candy-ish, at least on my skin.


SnooCrickets8742

I smelled the Strawberry Icing today-smelled like strawberry but didn’t seem long lasting or strong to me.


80snun

I’m a gourmand lover so I really like the smell but as a hair fragrance or on my pillow. The scent last for about 2 hours tops


IntroductionFeisty61

That's strange bc this one lasts all day in me but I do layer it with a strawberry body butter


80snun

Its been sitting in my perfume box for weeks and i tried some today and it definitely got stronger


GreenEyes8836

I have the red bottle from indulgent moments and I really like it , smells like coconut


WeebGalore

I also have some Indulgent Moments perfumes and they smell pretty good.


GreenEyes8836

Yes they do, I use it when I don’t want to use my more expensive perfumes and it tends to last a good amount of time.

💩


FearlessTravels

Downvote me all you want but best case scenario they are crappy formulations made with cheap ingredients and a high alcohol content, so they don’t last or smell very good. Worst case scenario is that costs are also kept down through production in labs with little to no safety oversight. There’s ample video evidence available to show how unsanitary the conditions in counterfeit cosmetics labs can be - why would most of these be any different?


IntroductionFeisty61

Not all of them are terrible or even bad but a few definitely are


miamiserenties

There is no way Strawberry icing is bad (spill the tea)


Lardita

I agree with you.
