Today I tried Byredo Rose of No Man It’s a woodsy fragrance with a true sweet rose in the background. Like a winter forest of leafless trees that has managed to keep one rose bush warm and she blooming her heart out. It’s a dark take on rose. At first I thought the scent was underwhelming by the silage increase in the dry down. 

The bottle looks like crystal 

I think CAROLINA HERRERA - Good Girl Eau de Parfum  is a great unisex. it smells incredible on everyone.

I just found on a drawer a sample from Commodity Book and I really really REALLY like it, so I went online to check it out... to find out it was been discontinued Do you guys know any dupes for this one? Not Santal 33, by dupes I mean alternatives that are similar AND cheaper, preferably. 

I smelled it on paper only, but a note or combination of notes gave off a powdery vibe.  Not so much like a rice powder or makeup or baby powder, but like @pocketvenus mentioned, a heliotrope type, maybe even how sandalwood can produce powdery whiffs.  I didn’t care for this at all.  It didn’t strike a mood or sense of theme.  

fresh fruity but not old lady soap smells. lol the smells are from the 2000's really where every pop star had to have a perfume. I will look for that one you and the other girl mentioned. Ty

Prada Candy Kiss dries down to smell very similar 

I've heard many people comment on this niche fragrance from the house of MFK called Baccarat Rouge 540 saying that ariana grande is a dupe of it ...problem is the price is way more expensive but the lasting power is amazing, you really get what you pay for for this fragrance.

My first scent memory was pine sol after school. They mopped the hallways and the strong scent makes me think of butter cookies and red punch as a snack. I keep a small bottle under my cabinet as a reminder. I went on to get a sample of Princess Bourgese from the mall. Then I was hooked on Amarige by Givenchy in my early 20s. I now collect perfume minis. I got a small set of Ariana Grande yesterday to try. I was into Michael Kors for awhile. My favorite scents are peach and citrus. I'm more of a floral lady. The best natural flower is a night blooming Jasmine or gardenia. Surprisingly, I can't tolerate synthetic bottled gardenia sprays. Only the natural sweet aroma. I also like pear body sprays. I wore beautiful day from BBW today for a fashion shoot. I gave some lotion to the models and set loose shimmer into it on the de'colete. We trade scents backstage if they are not perfect for us. ;-) I also collect grapefruit scented items like the body shop and yes to. I'm definitely a fragrance wardrobe gal. I have a whole armoire of scents. Evidently I am designing perfumes now. I watch chemistry videos. ;-) Also my cats, they smell like popcorn to me. Its their enzymes. I like hazlenut and sweet scents like creme brulee and caramel, honey, and cotton candy. My first fauxpas was Red Door by Arden. I "lost" a box of cosmetics a few times. My favorite splash was an all natural banana mist from whole foods market. I'm definitely a fruity chick. I'm not into musks. Neroli gives me a headache. I'm exploring sandlewood as of now. not sure. I will be buying more essential oils. I like sweet orange and lime so far. Coconut anything is amazing. I save them like some people are preppers. In case the malls close! ;-) 

Nice

I had the Diptyque Figuier candle, and I was not impressed.  It burned unevenly, and the throw was so subtle.  Quality does not justify the cost.  All I'm left with is a cute, empty candle glass that will be repurposed.  I have tried Tyler, DW Home, and B&BW candles, mostly. I keep going back to B&BW due to affordability and accessibility.  My favorite scents are Paris Café (Rich Roasted Coffee, Sugared Brioche, Vanilla Crème), Vanilla Bean (Madagascar Vanilla, Homemade Marshmallow, Fresh Steamed Milk), and Wine Cellar (Mulled Apples, Fresh Fig, Cedarwood with Essential Oils). There was one called Thailand that came out late winter last year, that smelled like coconut and steamed rice, and it was refreshing to see something different.   

Today I am wearing PRADA - Amber Pour Homme Intense  A few years ago I had tried PRADA - Prada Amber Pour Homme. I enjoy soapy, balsamic and powdery fragrances, but Amber Pour Homme was a soapy, balsamic and powdery mess. It went back to Sephora.I decided to give Prada another chance with Amber Pour Homme Intense due to the reviews, and I love it. This is how Amber Pour Homme should have smelled like. I wore this to work today, and received an unsolicited compliment from a co-worker after I walked by. Very good projection and sillage in motion.Amber Pour Homme Intense is unisex, can be worn for any occasion, and would be best worn during the Spring, Autumn and Winter months, as well as cool Summer evenings.Whether you loved or hated Amber Pour Homme, give this one a try as it is a huge step up, as well as being one of those instances where the flanker is much better than the original..

@bethany1021You're welcome! I hope you find something you love

I tried Chantecaille Darby Rose And Diptyque Eau Rose, and our of all of the rose fragrances I’ve tried which is not a lot, these really impressed me.  

I enjoy Redolessence’s YouTube channel.  He goes quite in depth and speaks eloquently as he describes the scent journey.  He gives good comparables as well, there’s not a large fragrance community on the tube.  It would be cool to start a channel.

@gregI'm not sure what you mean by tricks? If you mean to make the scent last, layering and having moisturized skin is always recommended.

@AlyssaRhae Have you tried the Sephora Favorites fragrance samplers?  They are a great way to try out several scents and often seem to include fairly light/fruity scents with one or two warmer ones.  There are also great sampler sets for individual brands offered. Go to the Fragrance category and scroll down to "Discovery Kits".  SO MANY fun options there, including Maison Margiela (which has both lighter and warmer scents), Killian (all pretty sweet but fun) and two Hermes options among others.  Have fun! 

@Dollfacekil  I'm afraid I must agree with @Vmaster, there is nothing quite like Alien! However, if you like jasmine, I'm happy to make suggestions for jasmine perfumes. But they will be different from Alien even though it's the same flower. Or is there some kind of mood or vibe you associate with Alien like mysterious or dangerous? I can try to make other suggestions based on that.

“The Invitation” by Smith & McCain is the ultimate sweet yet sophisticated scent! It starts off light and flirty and as the day goes on, it grows into a more sensual scent! It’s amazing!   

@elise222  I purchased: THE 7 VIRTUES - Grapefruit Lime Eau de Parfum Now just waiting for it to arrive 😃 I think it will layer sooo well with Vanilla Woods. 

I’m prone to wear cologne in the summer. Chanel allure, or homme is a favorite. Wool by Commodity is fall cozy for me too.

I adore fresh clean scents. These are easy to find wood sage is beachy, Acqua is watery, and Chloé is a fresh rose.JO MALONE LONDON - Wood Sage & Sea Salt CologneGIORGIO ARMANI BEAUTY - Acqua di GioiaCHLOé - Chloé Eau de Parfum

@Northernrn I have tried the Jo Malone's Myrrh and Tonka and it was sickly sweet (at least to my nose). I had to return it because it gave me a headache.
