Help! Trying to find a specific perfume!

RaveniumRules — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 18:48:46 GMT

Hello all! I need help finding the name of a perfume that I loved but accidentally deleted the picture of the name and can't locate it now.

It's a ladies perfume. It smells REALLY sexy. It's a kind of medium scent. Not super heavy but definitely a little dark. It is NOT Black Opium by YSL. That scent is too heavy for me. It's a bit lighter and super long lasting especially for a ladies perfume.

It was for sure out in 2017 or before. Not after.

It was a rollerball. A little bit of sweet and a little smoky. A darker scent but not super dark. Some sweet scent. Definitely not bright and super citrusy. Kind of similar to Jessica McClintock for Women.

Edit: LOL Idk what i was on. It was Mon Paris YSL! I smelled it by accident. I think it was from the same display case as they seem to be sister fragrances with Black Opium. Thank you all so much for helping!!!

@RaveniumRules Can you describe what the bottle looked like? Or even a description of the scent? Like was it fresh and clean or musky? Sweet or not? Floral? Spicy? Woody? Without these kinds of descriptions, it could be anything really. Everyone has a different idea of what sexy is. But if you're not used to describing perfumes, describing bottle appearance is your best bet.

The lady sprayed some into a small vial so I don't exactly remember but I think it was a kind of short square one. It smells similar to Jessica McClintock. It was woody, not super floral, kind of sweet but not like super sugary.

@RaveniumRules ok, that answers some of my questions...what store was this?? short and square sounds very much like tory burch. I'm not familiar with the perfume you mentioned though, so I can't say much about how it compares.

@RaveniumRules If it was Sephora it might be

, not that woody but has cedar
@treestar86 Tory Burch is a great suggestion, maybe

thanks @pocketvenus . I'm not that familiar w/TB's perfumes, so I'm not sure which one it might be. I just remember that the bottles are usually short and square. I do have a mini of (I believe it's) and remember liking it, but now I don't know where it is. I do like woody perfumes though, so that made me think it may be that one, OR I also have the mini of , but it's more floral I think. anyway, there are only 4 TB perfumes, so it shouldn't be too hard to narrow down if it is one of those.

@RaveniumRules , do you still have the little sample bottle? if so it probably still contains some of the scent. you could take it back to the store and see if they could help identify it. If you can't get to the store but think it may be one of the Tory Burch ones, you can get samples off of ebay so you would be able to confirm or rule those out.

Note: Sephora appears to be out of Nuit Azur, but Ulta has it online and on sale currently.

@treestar86 It was at a Sephora inside JCPenney in Plainfield, IN. The bottle itself was like a rectangle on its side i think? Didn't get a super good view but that's what I think it was. This is the description for the perfume I mentioned: "A blend of delicate sensual white floralsjasmine, rose and lily of the valley gently mingling with cassis, basil, ylang-ylang and bergamot"

Thank you for your help. I will go look for those next time I'm out and hope they give me some leads. At least now I might be able to understand more of the scents inside it too. Thank you! I'll let you know 🙌

@treestar86 @pocketvenus I think it could be Tom Ford Black Orchid! I got YSL Black Opium before because I knew it had the work black and started with an O. I'm really hoping it's this one but I don't think i could've gotten there without you guys❤❤

@RaveniumRules no problem! when you said rectangular that made me think of these...they're more 'sexy' than the TB ones I mentioned earlier. but hope you've found it!

@RaveniumRules Black Orchid is VERY distinctive. There is nothing else quite like it and it is difficult to describe but nothing like Black Opium. I really hope this is the one 🙂

Hi! Turns out it was Mon Paris!! YSL!

Re: Help! Trying to find a specific perfume!

RaveniumRules — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 18:50:47 GMT

Hi!! So it was Mon Paris YSL. The initall spray is super bright but the dry down is definitely more sultry in my opinon. I was on the WRONGGG side of the perfume scale lol. I think I must've grabbed onto the YSL display and picked the wrong one as they seem to be sister fragrances. Or marketed together lol
