BIC Fragrance Finder

pocketvenus — Fri, 01 Apr 2022 18:52:22 GMT

Are you looking for a new fragrance to try and fall in love with? This thread is for people looking for a signature scent or a new addition to their scent wardrobe.

It would help if you have an idea of what you're looking for. If you're not sure how to narrow things down, try asking yourself about

Notes? Amber, bergamot, jasmine, leather, just name what you like 🙂
Type? Looking for something floral, sweet, fresh, spicy, fruity, woody, smoky, aquatic?
Vibe? Something sultry, girly, bracing, polished, simple, extravagant, playful?
Place? A scent for the office, first date, weekend day wear, something else?
Price? Let us know if you have a budget 🙂

Great idea for a new thread, @pocketvenus! I'll start off--I'm looking for a fragrance with watermelon. I really enjoyed the Escada Sorbetto Rosso from last year but I'd love to find another perfume with similar notes.

@CookieGirl1 I love that one too! I love all the Escada scents 🙂 I would like to find something similar too.

@suzyo I've really only tried a few of the Escada fragrances but I completely got my mom hooked on Turquoise Summer, lol. My only gripe is that none of them seem to last on my skin for any length of time :(.

@Vmaster uh, wow. I'm genuinely impressed by the list that you came up with! I've only smelled/heard of about half of those!

Vmaster — Tue, 14 May 2019 05:08:51 GMT

@CookieGirl1 I have the internet at my disposal. 🙂

PS I added a few more.

@Vmaster and I was prepared to give you all the credit for being a fragrance guru, lol. The problem is availability; it's easy to look up notes on perfumes but another thing entirely to have access to smell them.

Re: BIC Fragrance Finder

Vmaster — Tue, 14 May 2019 05:10:51 GMT

@CookieGirl1Actually, I have smelled quite a few (but not all) of those.

I agree with the availability part, but as quickly as some fragrances disappear, it is hard to keep up.

Wow, I'm a little bit envious, @Vmaster!

Love this idea for a thread @pocketvenus. Especially since my Velvet is gone and I’m more interested in seasonal scents. Thank you for starting this.

@CookieGirl1 I am not a guru, but I have a great love of fragrances ever since I was a kid (I'm 52 now). A lot has changed since then, and not in a good way.

not really a perfume (although it should be), but hempz coconut + watermelon lotion smells really good! 🙂

I just recently got the Nest Rose Noir and Oud candle that came free with a fragrance purchase and I am in LOVE with the scent. If anyone knows anything similar to it in perfume form I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi @Jragon !

I haven't smelled that exact candle, but if I had to guess based on the fragrance notes I'd suggest trying , which is a lovely warm floral with rich rose and oud. For other warm roses, I'd try , , and .

I love this idea, @pocketvenus ! As someone who sucks with fragrance notes, I'm sure this will be super helpful! I've actually been meaning to ask for advice about a perfume. I love fragrances that smell like one specific thing (ex, a specific type of flower, fruit, wood, ect). I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a perfume that smelled like roses. I prefer rollerballs (they're more budget friendly for someone who wants to try many scents 🙈), but I'm also open to full bottles that are more on the affordable side 🙂 thank you!

I'm popping in to say I was really looking forward to making fragrance suggestions but now I am quite ill with the flu 😞 I promise I'll be back when I'm on the mend but right now I can't think very clearly!!! Haven't been this sick in many years!!!
