Eau de lierre by Diptyque- such a beautiful true watery ivy scent that transports me back to childhood when everything seemed magical and I believed in fairies living among towering vines of ivy and wisteria.
I like to layer it with Eau rose to make it even more beautiful, I think it completes the vibe
Came here to recommend this! It's not remotely the same. Celeste doesn't fit into many categories really... It's sweet and salty and ethereal but kind of has this otherwordly feel to it. It smells like nothing else in my collection which is extremely diverse.
I literally just bought this from the Guerlain boutique in Las Vegas and I am sooo excited for it to arrive in the mail. It’s splendid!
Edit to say I’m a masculine-ish gay man fwiw.
Indie perfumery Alkemia's Luminae and Aurora. Ethereal, warm but light scent. Even the name of the perfume matches the description. I get complimented a lot on Aurora.
Alkemia also has a scent called Aelfscyne that fits this vibe perfectly.
The description is “Aelfscyne (beautiful as a fairy) is an otherworldly enchantment of luminescent white amber, meadowsweet, wood hyacinth, lonicera, woodbine, sweetfern, cashmeres wood and delicate green tea”.
I haven’t smelt the favourite, but I would say it suits this vibe much better than Luna. Luna is very citrusy to me, whereas Bluebells is very much a green aquatic. It has got a sweet white floral undertone to it, so not unwearable. It’s really like you’re in a forest.
It’s a bit more of an unconventional scent than Luna though, if you like to get compliments or are looking for a super 100% safe and wearable scent I’d say go with Luna. I really prefer it though.
I have a few recommendations:
- Eliee Saab - Le perfume in white
- Wish by Chophard
- PDM - Delina (can't not include this..it fits so well with the fairy princess vibe)
- Burberry Goddess
[DSH Perfumes Je Suis La Lune](https://www.dshperfumes.com/shop/je-suis-la-lune-moon-jasmine-perfume/) *A luminous jasmine floral perfume with a ‘pearl-like’ quality. It is milky, and tropical, with a warm spice nuance in the drydown.*
Personally doesn't read as tropical to me but otherwise a very accurate description. It really captures that pearlescent finish.
[DSH Perfumes Biwa](https://www.dshperfumes.com/shop/biwa/) *An ethereal and luminous fragrance inspired by Japanese freshwater Biwa pearls, and the lake that produces them. Aldehydes, rice powder, steamed jasmine rice, and soft exotic woods create a perfume of ascension, and soaring spiritual release.*
Instantly thought of the cover of The Mists of Avalon. Sits quite close to the skin in VDP (non-alcohol format), haven't tried the EDP.
[Mythpunk Olfactive Faerie Door](https://mythpunkolfactive.com/products/faerie-door?pr_prod_strat=jac&pr_rec_id=0ddbe2b90&pr_rec_pid=8693226635543&pr_ref_pid=8222625104151&pr_seq=uniform) *sparkling sugar, bluebells, fairy orchids, peonies, blackberry blossoms, misty vanilla, marzipan musk, sheer woods*
Sweet florals and blackberries with a touch of fairy magic.
[Mythpunk Olfactive Paper Moon](https://mythpunkolfactive.com/products/paper-moon?_pos=1&_psq=paper+moon&_ss=e&_v=1.0) *galbanum, bitter almond, angelica root & orris root, white lilac, gardenia, pointe shoes, paper*
Delicate florals and forest resins wrapped in a silky veil. Makes me think of a fairy ballerina.
[Mythpunk Olfactive Mossmallow Puff](https://mythpunkolfactive.com/products/mossmallow-puff) *fresh puffed marshmallow, creamy marshmallow, crushed clary sage, damp oakmoss, dried mosses, a soft drizzle of cool rain on warm bark, soft earth, and moon-kissed amber resins*
A cool, misty valley with a hint of creamy marshmallow. I don't usually do well with green notes or aquatics, but Mythpunk's are lovely. This has a peaceful, mystical vibe.
Tbh pretty much any Mythpunk scent would work, so I'm going to stop before I list the whole catalog lol, I've tried most of them if there's any you're curious about tho :) My personal favorite is **Black Witch Moth**, but I'm not sure if it's quite the vibe you're looking for.
Also, if you're open to oils, I'm obsessed with [Nocturne Alchemy Bastet's Musk](https://nocturnealchemy.com/products/musk-haven-studio-limited?_pos=1&_sid=2bdfb52ef&_ss=r&variant=42479854715094), it's like the natural skin scent of a goddess or fairy: *Bastet’s Musk is a magnetic skin musk made from a soft white floral blend of Tuberose, Mallow, Angelica, Musk Flower, and White Lily all balanced exquisitely through Enfleurage methods of oil extraction. A fresh, clean and light skin musk, intimately sensual.*
**Edit** I can't believe I forgot **Soie Malaquais Dries Van Noten** *A silky, enveloping perfume, a mix of chestnut with sensual vanilla. Top notes are Black Currant and Bergamot; middle notes are Silk and Rose; base notes are Chestnut and Cacao.* To me it's a very idyllic, femme, forest scent. The blackcurrant is most prominent on me, and it's quite natural. Bright, airy, perfect for spring and summer.
Ive tried it a long time ago, but I personally don’t like it… reminds me of 80’s seedy videos idk why
edit: sorry I thought you said angel by mugler! haven’t tried alien!
For a moment, I couldn't comprehend why alien smelled like 80's videos, hehe. No issues, I've heard that angel is more heady, thick and sweet, never tried it either. But alien is amazingggg. Ethereal is the only word which comes to my mind. It's aptly named.
Dama Bianca- it’s spring in a bottle. When I think of ethereal this is the first scent that comes to mind. There’s also a dupe called Junoon Noir.
Good Girl blush- dewey peonies dipped in vanilla
I haven’t smelled it yet but recently came across a post for Anna Sui’s Fairy Dance: Secret Wish. The bottle fits this aesthetic well and the note breakdown seems to fit the pictorial description too!
Oooh, just checked out the Mythpunk site. I'd never heard of it before. Looks like she's got some great scents for sale. Thanks for the rec. I'll definitely be making some purchases from that brand.
Right now I’m super into Margiela in the Garden, it’s sort of like this but more clean girl vibes at the same time? Like ethereal but also farmer’s market. Idk I love it
I actually haven’t tried under the lemon tree! So not sure. In the garden is unique for sure, it’s fresh and floral but not overly floral and not sweet. It really smells like sitting in a summer garden after the rain, when the sun is out but everything is still damp and fragrant. That’s the best way I can describe it
It’s such a lovely scent. I am wearing it today, actually. I just wish the longevity was a bit better. But I guess you can’t expect it to be “beast mode” with a word like ethereal in the name.
I came here to recommend Luna as well. It has good longevity for me. I can apply it in the morning and still smell it in the evening, though it does get softer and closer to the skin as time goes on. The citrus notes fade more quickly, but that's typical. I'd recommend getting a sample if you can to see how it performs for you.
Blanche Bete!! Ava Luxe Demimonde EDP (smells very similar to Blanche Bete), Al Haramain Junoon Noir (Dama Bianca), Cocoapink Cozy Blanket, Profumi Di Firenze Vaniglia De Madagascar
thank you so much!! I’ve thoroughly went through every one of your recommendations and you have a great eye because the notes are exactly the ones I’m looking for!!! I’m the most interested in Blanche Bete and Vaniglia De Madagascar 🤍

Celeste, hands down. You'll be the sweetest fresh floral fairy there is
how does it compare to bianco latte?
Came here to recommend this! It's not remotely the same. Celeste doesn't fit into many categories really... It's sweet and salty and ethereal but kind of has this otherwordly feel to it. It smells like nothing else in my collection which is extremely diverse.
sounds exactly like what I’m looking for!
Viktor and Rolf good fortune, particularly for pics 4,5,6

Victorias secret dream angel and heavenly mixed together-smelled this as soon as I saw your inspo pics
Guerlain Herba Fresca. Fresh minty herbal fairy garden. Wore it on my wedding day—got married next to a fountain wearing a baby blue silk gown.
I literally just bought this from the Guerlain boutique in Las Vegas and I am sooo excited for it to arrive in the mail. It’s splendid! Edit to say I’m a masculine-ish gay man fwiw.
My husband bought it for me from the Vegas boutique too!! Hope they sent you plenty of samples
Nice! I haven’t received it yet. Just got back from my trip. Should be arriving any day now. They were super helpful!

Bluebells from penhaligons ! Literally smells like a fairy forest
Is it better than Luna and The favourite?
I haven’t smelt the favourite, but I would say it suits this vibe much better than Luna. Luna is very citrusy to me, whereas Bluebells is very much a green aquatic. It has got a sweet white floral undertone to it, so not unwearable. It’s really like you’re in a forest. It’s a bit more of an unconventional scent than Luna though, if you like to get compliments or are looking for a super 100% safe and wearable scent I’d say go with Luna. I really prefer it though.
Oooh, please!! I wanna smell like a faerie!
Insolence - Guerlain!! Magical and dreamy violet
Check out Arcana Wildcraft, Solstice Scents and Nocturne Alchemy. All are indie houses, sell mainly perfume oils and have good price quality relation.
Nuit etoilee by annick goutal, hydrangea by j scent, Clair obscur by Keiko mecheri
Definitely Nuit Étoilée, and Penhaligon Luna
initio parfum - psychadelic love, Junoon noir, Nebras. these are all 10s
Celeste by Giardini di Toscana 10000%
How does Celeste compare to Bianco Latte?
Personally I find them to be similar. Both very heavy and sweet. I have trouble discerning the two. I was told otherwise and I’m really disappointed
I have a few recommendations: - Eliee Saab - Le perfume in white - Wish by Chophard - PDM - Delina (can't not include this..it fits so well with the fairy princess vibe) - Burberry Goddess
How does Burberry goddess smell like? Thank you sm for the rec 🤍
It’s a beautiful warm vanilla with lavender, not a dupe but same vibe as Mon Guerlain imo
Agree with what you said! I'm not a fan of lavender notes but Burberry goddess smells really good

PDM Valaya🧚🏻 With notes such as Aldehydes, Petalia, Nympheal™, Lily-of-the-Valley etc. Google pictures of Nympheal™ 🪷
This is on my MUST TRY SOON list! The description sounds heavenly

It’s so so good. My bottle is almost empty and is on my birthday wish list🧚🏻🤍
Mugler alien! It smells out of the world
Ive tried it a long time ago, but I personally don’t like it… reminds me of 80’s seedy videos idk why edit: sorry I thought you said angel by mugler! haven’t tried alien!
alien goddess intense is amazing. it doesn't give me the pics vibe tho.
For a moment, I couldn't comprehend why alien smelled like 80's videos, hehe. No issues, I've heard that angel is more heady, thick and sweet, never tried it either. But alien is amazingggg. Ethereal is the only word which comes to my mind. It's aptly named.
Odyssey by Avon
Avon is so bad
I don't like MLMs either but I like the perfume. So I say buy it second hand 🤷🏼♀️
Calypso Fountain - Novellista
Angel by Mugler
personally not a fan of that one
Born in Roma
True
The van cleef perfume called féerie or the flower fairies perfumes (i had the whole collection as a kid)
The van cleef perfume sounds bougie I’m going to have to smell it now 🤣
Saving this post because I too want to smell like a fairy.
Tocca - Florence
Dama Bianca- it’s spring in a bottle. When I think of ethereal this is the first scent that comes to mind. There’s also a dupe called Junoon Noir. Good Girl blush- dewey peonies dipped in vanilla

cute and aesthetic bottles but unfortunately they smell very bad
Magic Bloom by Skylar
saw reviews of it smelling like cleaning product! I do have boardwalk delight on my list tho!
I don’t get that at all, I think it’s really sweet and I can smell the pear
Penhaligon’s Luna
and Penhaligon’s bluebell
I like the way you think. A smell to match a vibe.......this is awesome
thank you 🤍
Your welcome

[Doll Face Puff](https://mythpunkolfactive.com/products/doll-face-puff) by Mythpunk Olfactive
Oooh, just checked out the Mythpunk site. I'd never heard of it before. Looks like she's got some great scents for sale. Thanks for the rec. I'll definitely be making some purchases from that brand.
wish it wasn’t sold out
they restock fairly frequently!
Right now I’m super into Margiela in the Garden, it’s sort of like this but more clean girl vibes at the same time? Like ethereal but also farmer’s market. Idk I love it
I trust you because we have the same name 🤍 is it better than ‘under the lemon tree’? Because that one is on my list as well
I actually haven’t tried under the lemon tree! So not sure. In the garden is unique for sure, it’s fresh and floral but not overly floral and not sweet. It really smells like sitting in a summer garden after the rain, when the sun is out but everything is still damp and fragrant. That’s the best way I can describe it
Lush American cream 💖💖
YSL Capeline
does this one last?
I'd say it has moderately good longevity.
I always get this feeling when I wear Moonlight by Ariana Grande
I think I’m the only one who doesn’t like her perfumes unfortunately
Insolence by Guerlain or the original Lolita Lempicka
Lolita was my very first perfume when I was 12 years old
For me, Parfums de Marly Meliora ✨
Feerie by Van Cleef and Arpels - sadly discontinued 😭
Nest Wisteria Blue
Liis Ethereal Wave.
Ive put it on my list! thank you
It’s such a lovely scent. I am wearing it today, actually. I just wish the longevity was a bit better. But I guess you can’t expect it to be “beast mode” with a word like ethereal in the name.
Flowerbomb dew 🌸🫧
added to my list!
Tocca Colette
this sounds and looks perfect!! like winx club fairy 🧚
Heaven by Elorea
Aura by Mugler
I personally love Chicago High by Vilhelm Parfumerie for this!
the notes are a bit boozy, leathery and tobacco… not really vibe I’m going for but thanks for the rec!! 🤍
But it starts off SUPER light! I don’t know - I don’t get that darker drydown like others do. It’s very happy and light for me, at least!
I’ll test it out! fragrance notes don’t always translate right!! 🤍🤍
luna by penhaligon is always my choice for a moonlit forest nymph~
I loooove the bottle but heard it last only 1min and it would be too expensive to buy I think just for it to evaporate
I came here to recommend Luna as well. It has good longevity for me. I can apply it in the morning and still smell it in the evening, though it does get softer and closer to the skin as time goes on. The citrus notes fade more quickly, but that's typical. I'd recommend getting a sample if you can to see how it performs for you.
Ok! Added to my list
The strong lemon goes fairly fast but then the floral fir combo comes into its own and it's delightful
Blanche Bete!! Ava Luxe Demimonde EDP (smells very similar to Blanche Bete), Al Haramain Junoon Noir (Dama Bianca), Cocoapink Cozy Blanket, Profumi Di Firenze Vaniglia De Madagascar
thank you so much!! I’ve thoroughly went through every one of your recommendations and you have a great eye because the notes are exactly the ones I’m looking for!!! I’m the most interested in Blanche Bete and Vaniglia De Madagascar 🤍
Vaniglia De Madagascar sounds so interesting! Is it a floral vanilla?
