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
@GG84 It’s still quite expensive, but if you are not attached to the bottle/buying through Sephora, Kilian sells refill sets for CA$260. A cheaper option would be Etat Libre’s Fils de Dieu. It’s different for sure but they share notes and a sort-of-not-really tropical gourmand vibe. Fils is less elegant but more fun and easy going
@Tamara76 Ohhhhhh okay, bum bum cream I definitely know. You’re also not the first person to make that comparison! A decent perfume dupe I can think of to the bum bum is Comptoir Sud Pacifique Coco Vanille. It’s not as strong as the cream but it has that hit of vanilla cream sweetness. A more floral take would be Clean Reserve’s Solar Bloom. I know the charcoal in the notes pyramid is a little weird, suggesting something very smoky. It’s actually a pretty scent, not at all charred
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!!!
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!
Fragrances that smell of one flower are called soliflores Some great, affordable rose soliflores are
- Serge Lutens Sa Majeste La Rose, fresh cut green floral shop rose. If you want something more musky, try La Fille de Berlin which has a hit of violets as well
- JO MALONE LONDON - Red Roses Cologne, classic bright red roses
- Diptyque Eau Rose, light fresh rose - try L'Ombre dans L'Eau for something more dramatic
- STELLA MCCARTNEY - Stella, powdery woody femme rose, should come in a rollerball size too
Thank you so much, @pocketvenus ! A few of these are at my local Sephora, so I'll go get samples soon Thanks for the info about soliflores too! I wasn't aware there was a specific name
