Perfume Recommendations

Help me find two new perfumes. 💕

 

My go to has been Mon Pari because it’s elegant and lasts for days and Billie Eilish’s vanilla fragrance, but I’m looking for something new so I need your help. 

I want an elegant and sophisticated, yet bright fragrance that encapsulates confident beauty wrapped in pearls. Something that smells like Princess Diana on a summer day. Not young, but not old smelling. 

I also want a warm and fuzzy, yet spicy fragrance that encapsulates sophisticated vanilla scents with a hint of spice. Something that makes me feel like I’m wearing soft cashmere, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, and sitting next to a warm fire with a cup of ginger tea. Not too sweet, but not too spicy. 

Thoughts? 

Re: Perfume Recommendations

Hi!! Both of my recommendations can be considered basic, so if you're looking for niche this probably won't help. I'm not sure if you've tried it yet but Burberry Her Elixir makes me feel like i'm comfy in clean sheets. It smells clean, not too floral, hints of vanilla; everyone i've recommended it to has LOVED it. Another one that I love (the basic of all basic) but I more consider it just widely loved is Ariana Grande cloud. I am not an Ariana person but the scent is so lovely and not too much vanilla. I get compliments constantly in both of these.

for the first fragrance you described i am going to recommend prada paradoxe virtual flower. since you said you enjoy mon paris, we’re staying on trend with this white floral and white musk scent. prada’s paradoxe line is, in my opinion, the very essence of what feminine perfume should smell like. the base accord of ambrette blends beautifully with notes of pristine jasmine and creates a soft creamy aroma. a top note of bergamot and neroli is going to give you the brightness you were wanting and evokes imagery of a cool summer day.

the second scent you described i have two recommendations, both from the maison margiela replica line. their bestselling and iconic jazz club is sensual and warm, with the spiciness of rum, citrus, and pink pepper. it has the base notes of vanilla, vetiver, and tobacco, which forms a sophisticated, complex, and yet familiarly endearing contrast within it. its perfect for the cold seasons, and has been one of my best selling fragrances alongside my second recommendation, by the fireplace. i consider jazz club to be the fun, daunting fragrance of two while by the fireplace is much smoother and creamier. comparing side by side between them, you can really feel the fuzziness from by the fireplace on full display. they share similar notes and fragrance families, but by the fireplace centers more around its vanilla base, with cashmere and chestnut to evoke imagery of the holiday season and cozying up in a warm blanket. its a woody, warm spicy, rich and sweet scent. i really love both, and im sure you will be able to find exactly what youre looking for in one of them.
