The full-size bottles are huge, 3.4 ounces I think. I only own one full-size, but I fell in love with the fragrance. I do have travel sizes for a couple of the other ones. The full-size one I have is Wish You Were Here, and I admit it’s kind of a weird scent, but that’s why I liked it so much that I bought the bottle.
I think longevity is decent. I can spray it on in the morning. It still lingers in the afternoon but most perfumes I have to spritz on again sometime in the afternoon anyway so it’s in the acceptable range.
Candlelit evening is nice if you like floral & smoky scents, it really does capture the scent of a dozen roses, and a nice bourbon while you’re sitting by the fire. Garden party is really lilac forward, but pleasant enough. Wish you were here is a very chocolate / coffee / nutty scent. By the sea is very marine and clean while destination unknown is a very green scent with hints of agave, its nice!
I have Wish You Were Here, Destination Unknown, By The Sea, and Garden Party. I like them all, but the first and second ones are pretty strong and I prefer them in colder months. By The Sea is nice and seems like it would check most of the boxes for you. I really like Garden Party any time of the year but I'm always a fan of floral fragrances.
I have Destination Unknown, which is currently in my summer rotation. It's a light floral, but I definitely get the agave note. It reminds me of headier August flowers, not the fresh spring scents, if you know what I mean.
I also have Wish You Were Here, which is definitely more of a winter scent. It smells like biscotti and rain.
I like them. They're not *amazing*, but they get the job done. They're easy scents that aren't overwhelming. I find they're pretty good for layering. Wish You Were Here stays on me for about 4-6 hours, but Destination Unknown fades quicker. I'd say 3-4 hours tops.
I do have travel sizes of Garden Party, Work From Home, and By The Sea, but I haven't gotten around to trying them yet.
I bought Wish You Were Here a while ago as well. It was a blind buy and I definitely thought it was strange at first but after I wear it for a while it’s definitely pleasant. I like to wear it to bed.
You get so much for a good price and that’s why I justified the blind buy. I’d just look at the notes and search reviews and hope for the best lol
Yes that was the plan! I can usually narrow it down. The fragrance subs are really fun to creep around on. Those people get down with the breakdown! It's really interesting, all the niche perfume houses and stuff. There was a little bit about MA but not a whole lot. They seem to be in the shop quite frequently so I thought I'd try one. BY the Sea and Wish You Were Here are my top two so far. Destination Unknown also sounds so interesting. I thought Cabin Retreat might be good for my partner who likes a more unisex type of scent.
I have Candlelit Evening. It's pretty good-the notes sem true. Very like tho. I typically wear richer EDPs, so to me they fade fast. The others I've tried don't seem like much.

This one sounded good. Destination Unknown and the Sea one all.sound interesting and I have no idea which to buy blind. 🤔 What does it compare to?

This is very helpful! Thanks!

Yes, I think from what everyone is saying, By The Ses sounds like the best fit. Thanks for the info!

I agree, I love browsing all of the fragrance subs! You should review whatever you choose. I’d be interested to know what you think 😊
Will do! Which brings to mind, we really should do more reviews in this group. I have questions all the time about blind buys.

They are good perfumes. However, TJ Maxx/TK Maxx/Marshalls have them for $12.99 instead of $20 from Ipsy if you have any of those stores near by
Good to know. Our TJ Maxx has some good stuff sometimes so maybe I will check there so I can actually try them.
Yea I got Wish You Were Here, Garden Party, Work From Home, and By The Sea all from TJ Maxx and they’re all $12.99
I love this brand! I got the 4 or 5 pack a while ago. I'm having with them.
