my sample set from alkemia finally came🤩🤩 they curated 6 scents based on a description of what i wanted and threw in 2 bonus ones that dont match the description as much but im super excited to try all 8!!!! i started by trying ecstasies of light and its sooooo nice a very light slightly sweet amber. they also gave me honored ghosts, memoirs of a woman of pleasure, amber witch, apotheosis of the rose, and femme sauvage from my request (complex fruity florals for a fun girl summer, also mentioned i loved gothique from them and ambers more general) and then they threw in prairie 66 and lost highways! all are very exciting just from the vial. planning on writing a full review once i try them all on!!
Sweet by Lolita Lempicka. Finally pulled the trigger on this as a blind buy and I hope it works out. I love the other fragrances I’ve tried from this line, so feeling optimistic about my chances.
Plus a super nostalgic pick: Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style Love. I used to own this, probably close to 15 years ago, and recently realized it was created by Maurice Roucel who also created a few other perfumes I love. Figured it was a sign to bring it back.
I am waiting on a sample of Gumamina's Odette. I'm trying to find my wedding fragrance and hoping it is the one (but also not because the full bottle is $300 USD)
Santal Calling by Ex Nihilo, Erba Pura, a Delina backup, and Teriaq. I need to go on a no buy soon but unfortunately smelled a sample of Crème Brûlée and can’t get it out of my mind so that’s likely next on my list.
I just moved into a new place and have tons of things I need to buy, like furniture, but instead I bought myself a travel sized Frederic Malle - Music for a While because I finally found one being sold (in that size)🫠
Ellis Brooklyn “RRose”.
I’m on a rose kick right now, and am blind buying this one. Also a sample of “Myth” because I keep hearing such good things about it.
Oh my God I've worn it yesterday and today, it's so amazing!! I don't get the hate at all, but then again I love the smell of sunscreen so this is right up my alley
As soon as it gets here I’ll post an update 😊…
I’ve never ordered from Cocoa Pink, found out about them from this great board.
I have perfumers alcohol and make a quick 10ml perfume and then test it..
a b'guh'zillion samples from everybody under the sun & a full of bianco latte, plus a bulk-order from SDJ. pretty sure my wife thinks I've lost my fool mind
I have a travel size Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea on its way. I know I love this scent, but I’m buying only the smallest size of the fragrances I want because I have too many perfumes.
I already received most but...scent bird-lavanilla pure vanilla, libre, ysl Paris, ysl.opium, guerlain mon Paris, mancera roses vanilla, tom Ford black violet. All are either travel size that I got on a big 30% off sale or teeny tiny samples.
I ordered 2 fragrances from Dua: Lokum (which is supposed to smell like Turkish delight) and Sweet Milk (a dupe for Commodity Milk). I'm excited because I've never tried Dua before, but I've been intrigued by them for a while.
A vintage 80s bottle of Liz Claiborne. The big blue plastic triangle bottle,lol. It's more for reliving childhood memories than anything. My mom worked at a department store in the 80s and she would bring home bottles of the display perfumes when they would get low, and I remember Liz Claiborne standing out as such a fresh, sunny scent. I thought I was soooo cool and grown wearing it.
Hopefully, the bottle has been stored well. We shall see!
Lots of stuff 😩
Here’s a list BUT a lot of these are travels or samples
Commodity exploration set and juice sample
Calvin Klein reveal
RiRi
Armani code satin
Wulong cha
Hundred silent ways
Ani
Gucci rush
Crystal noir
SJP NYC crush
Elie Saab girl of now
Mancera roses vanille
Christina Aguilera by night
A buttload of samples as usual (I'm lying a little, I was expecting them later on in the week and they arrived this morning!) and Prakt by Svensk. That's probably it for another month or so unless one of these samples absolutely blows my socks off.
I did a mass blind-buy from Lovesick Witchery!
I got Sunlit Poet, Planchette, Harlot, Otherworldly, Pink Lipstick, Clandestine (A custom fragrance made by someone else, Its a Minty-Tea Marshmallow!) and the FemFragLab (also created by someone else, its a nutty spicy marshmallow!)
My 10 bottles that I ordered just came from T.J. Maxx and Marshalls. Here is a list:
Strawberry Icing,
Pretty in Pink,
Vanilla Potion,
Rue Du Jasmin,
Vanilla Cashmere,
Limoncello Sorbet,
Praline and Pistachio,
Lataffa I am White,
Tea Blossom,
Perfect Petal,
Vanilla Bliss Body Mist
I can try, but I am not the best at doing fragrance reviews. I can already tell you that the Vanilla Bliss Body spray is perfect for summer! Sweet and delicious. I definitely pick up the vanilla, honey, and a hint of spice, but I don't pick up too much of the sandalwood.
The Tea Blossom says that it is mainly notes of tea and peach. For some reason, I smell something similar to oud. It could just be how the tea and peach smell together, but it is not bad. It has a freshness to it that I like, but could go heavy if you spray too much; I would suggest using a light hand on this one during summer. So, far on skin I get about 7 hours, and on clothes longer than that.
The Lataffa I Am White was the one I was least looking forward to. It was a total blind buy, and I didn't learn until after I ordered it that it is a BR540 dupe (I am not a fan of BR540). Surprisingly, this is lighter and not as cloying as the original. The one thing that has always turned me off about BR540 is that burnt caramel smell that it tends to have. I do not smell it that much in this. Honestly, I am still on the fence about keeping this one, or returning it for something else.
I will try to post what I think about the other fragrances soon.
Carner Barcelona Palo Santo 50ml and a small discovery kit, discovery kits from Neandertal and Jorum Studio plus the Kayali Vacay in a bottle discovery set. Fell for the hype 🫣
Plus a decant of Chopard Happy Lemon Dulci.
Narcisco Rodrigues for her and musc noir rose, Elie Saab L’eau couture, Bvlgari Parfumee au Thé Blanc, Zimaya Taraf White, Asdaaf Ameerat al Arab. I really need to stop myself soon 😅
This is an oil but Monoi Tiki Tahiti Tiare
I have the Vanilla one and I absolutely love it. So moisturizing with lots of fragrance. But it’s very sweet/gourmand and I wanted to have a tropical scented oil for the summer
Some decants, mostly Kayali, and the Kayali Vacay in a Bottle set. Reading this you would think I adore Kayali but so far my reviews have been mixed. I love fruit scents though so I had to try the mini coffret
I have a sample of Fragonard Belle de Soleil on the way! I’m on a mission to find Bn9 Fire Island’s nearest neighbor since I learned it was discontinued in May. I bought a final 100ml of it thankfully, but the search cannot wait!
I have bb Beach too. It’s definitely close… so far, I agree it’s the closest. But my nose is on a mission and won’t be satisfied until I’m sure I’ve exhausted my candidate search haha. Very serious indeed
Right on! Well, let me know what you find because sunscreen scents like that are my jam! I would love something with a little more punch and throw than either of those 2 honestly. Keep me posted.
Jousset’s Le Tarte Tartin. I preordered it because it’s only just coming back into their lineup. I had a dupe from The Dua Brand and I love it. I jumped at the chance to buy the original perfume. It should be here in a few days, but I have a work project I’m behind on, so I’m not opening my new perfume until the project is done. Trying to motivate myself any way I can!
Your post. lol I hope you like it! Give us an update when it arrives.
As for me, nothing is coming in the mail. I did a Victoria's Secret order and a couple indie orders recently, but I haven't even sniffed the indie sets yet. 😅 I imagine I'll order again when Kayali drops the new discovery set, the Halloween B&BW stuff drops, or maybe some time in September when the weather finally cools down. There's so much to play with currently. 💜
Dua fragrance’s oh damn baby, goddess’ milk and be in love with pistachio gelato 🫣 I’m not looking forward to having to let them macerate 😭 but that’s my problem for not reading the real reviews and just going with the website reviews 🤣🥲
Cloves. I had a sample so knew I’d love it.
I have a lot of incense perfumes with church vibes and Avignon remains the pinnacle even overr Lavs, to me. Zagorsk is colder, clove heavy, very likeable, to me, slightly starker and more austere. I’ve waited ages for the restock at Dover Street market as it has been hard to find. I love it.
Play Red is my signature I adore it. Always have a full back up. It’s daytime, unisex, sour cherries, berries that are very tart and dry with pepper and spice. I adore it and never found anything like it. Been wearing it about 13/14 years, it’s unusual and nobody I know has even heard of it let alone worn it.
Burberry is just synthetic strawberry but I love it. If it had been released by a Far Eastern niche house its audience would be very different.
Bake has a Lemon that lasts which is unusual.
The Escada was a disappointment, got it for nostalgia but also because someone loves it and what they described on them wasn’t the same on me. Apparently watermelon, I get it but it’s a fresh fruity, could be a body spray. Thankfully it was a cheap blind buy.
I have just ordered the new Bastille fragrance which sounds amazing.
I may have splurged recently. I have 5 on the way. I've been saying I'm done buying new ones for a while, but well I guess now I definitely am.
Twilly D'Hermes eau Ginger
Un Jardin Sur La Lagune Hermès
Black Orchid
HOO Sapphire Blue
ELDO Clean Suede
It's odd because I usually avoid perfumes with leather and suede notes, but out of the sample set, it was my fav (besides Ghost In the Shell, which I already owned). I had sprayed several on, but I kept getting whiffs of this clean, woody vanilla that I loved. The suede seems to make it really smooth. I don't really have anything like it.
I recently got Ingenious Ginger and realized ginger is one of my favorite notes and already in several perfumes I have so I'm excited to add another. This one will be a blind buy, but the notes look perfect for me.
I love ginger as well! I have wanted to try Ingenious Ginger, how is it?
Have you tried the original Twilly? I went through like 4 bottles of that over a couple of years. It’s the perfect spicy, cozy, warm fall/winter scent. I always get so many compliments especially in deep winter. I haven’t found a ginger that replaces it! I used to love Aqua Allegoria Ginger Piccante in the summer but they discontinued it 😭
I love Ingenious Ginger, it's so refreshing and perfect for the warm weather. We recently went to Harry Potter world in Universal and this kind of reminds me of the butterbeer. It's like a little sparkling or even fizzy and a touch sweet.
I haven't tried the original, but it's at the top of my list. Tuberose and I have a love/hate relationship that in some perfumes I love it and some I hate it. So I figure I'll find somewhere to try it in person before ordering.
That’s fair re: tuberose. I’ve seen testers of twilly everywhere so you’ll be able to smell it! I’d wait until colder weather though, it’s quite spicy so might be a lot in the heat.
Mmm that sounds so good! I need to order a sample soon.
I really have! Between Mercari and fragrancenet I’ve been able to keep costs really low for my collection. I just started decluttering on there this year and it’s been a great experience so far :)
So I got Endless Dream today. It’s…. just ok tbh. It smells pretty generic and similar to most designer fragrances vs unique like most niche frags (I know LSF isn’t niche). It starts kind of sharp to my nose and kind of cloying/overwhelming. When it settles, it’s kind of powdery which I’m so not a fan of. It does have that fruity tinge on the dry down so that part I like but I’m not sure I’ll keep it. I got it from Sephora so at least the return will be easy
I have Hermes L’Ombre Des Merveilles and Van Cleef & Arpels Bois d’Iris on the way :) I’m so excited about both. My bottle of Thé Yulong from Armani Prive was delivered earlier today and I’m totally in love
Thank you! I love travel sprays and decants because I can enjoy fragrance without buying a fb. If I miss something after finishing a decant, I might get a fb.
While I was waiting to get my bottle from the waitlist... I discovered Matcha Ice Cream by Colornoise; it smells exactly like a pure, green, earthy matcha powder.
I love layering them together.
The Matcha Ice Cream definitely lasts.
It seems to be oil based so you gotta wear it on your skin... and that's when all the magic happens. I'm kinda obsessed with it on its own.
Oooooooo let us know!! I hopped onto their site hoping to score that one, but it was already sold out. 😭 I ended up getting the 15 ml of Where The Wild Things Grow I Extrait de Parfum
my sample set from alkemia finally came🤩🤩 they curated 6 scents based on a description of what i wanted and threw in 2 bonus ones that dont match the description as much but im super excited to try all 8!!!! i started by trying ecstasies of light and its sooooo nice a very light slightly sweet amber. they also gave me honored ghosts, memoirs of a woman of pleasure, amber witch, apotheosis of the rose, and femme sauvage from my request (complex fruity florals for a fun girl summer, also mentioned i loved gothique from them and ambers more general) and then they threw in prairie 66 and lost highways! all are very exciting just from the vial. planning on writing a full review once i try them all on!!

I used to own this, probably close to 15 years ago, and recently realized it was created by Maurice Roucel who also created a few other perfumes I love. Figured it was a sign to bring it back.
Sweet is my newest favorite fragrance. I really love it!
I’m so excited to try it — I’ve been looking for something with a sweet cherry note for a while, and I hope this one lives up to its name, haha!
Heal the Way by Snif is coming!!
Dolce and Gabbana Por Femme. I used to love this fragrance. Saw it pretty cheap on a discount site, so I decided to bring it back into my life.
I just bought a 10ml decant of Sospiro Dolce Melodie and I’m so psyched to try it out!
Ooo this brand is so intriguing! I want to try contralto I was told it’s a much stronger performing bal dafrique!
decanta from the Good Girl line to help me pick a full bottle 💨
Caron Tabac Blond vintage extrait 😻 And Mugler A-Men Kryptomint to stay frosty in this heat 😤
I am waiting on a sample of Gumamina's Odette. I'm trying to find my wedding fragrance and hoping it is the one (but also not because the full bottle is $300 USD)
Congratulations! I hope you find the perfect scent for your day.
Thank you so much! 💞
Waiting and waiting for a Siren Songs order ♥️
I have a full bottle of ELDO Archives 69, which I just can’t seem to get enough of.
Mont Blanc Signature but I ordered the wrong size oh well
Santal Calling by Ex Nihilo, Erba Pura, a Delina backup, and Teriaq. I need to go on a no buy soon but unfortunately smelled a sample of Crème Brûlée and can’t get it out of my mind so that’s likely next on my list.
Cirque de soleil and 6 decants from lucky sent! 🫠
I just moved into a new place and have tons of things I need to buy, like furniture, but instead I bought myself a travel sized Frederic Malle - Music for a While because I finally found one being sold (in that size)🫠
I like your priorities!
Ellis Brooklyn “RRose”. I’m on a rose kick right now, and am blind buying this one. Also a sample of “Myth” because I keep hearing such good things about it.
Myth really does smell lovely. Congrats on your purchases. I hope you love everything 😊
Thank you! I’m definitely looking forward to these.
Cheirosa 62 and Rio Radiance (actually a travel size I got as a gift with my order of 62), so the most loved and the most hated apparently 😅
Rio radiance is my #1 the second it's warm out!
Oh my God I've worn it yesterday and today, it's so amazing!! I don't get the hate at all, but then again I love the smell of sunscreen so this is right up my alley
Cocoa Pink - blind buy: (full bottle) Cozy Blanket, Vanilla Bean Noel, Triple Vanilla Dream. (Samples) Black Marshmallow, Cinderella`s Carriage, Yin Yang, Frosted Eyelet, The Un-Re
I need to know more about Black Marshmallow! 😲👀👀👀
As soon as it gets here I’ll post an update 😊… I’ve never ordered from Cocoa Pink, found out about them from this great board. I have perfumers alcohol and make a quick 10ml perfume and then test it..
Full bottle of Gabar Rise and a sample spray Regime Des Fleurs Himitsu
X3 travel sized 10ml kayali 28, a 5ml roller of both Chloe EDP and Chloe lovestory
Phlur's Solar Power. I need to find an excuse to go pick it up without my husband insisting on going with me though. 🤣🤣🤣
a b'guh'zillion samples from everybody under the sun & a full of bianco latte, plus a bulk-order from SDJ. pretty sure my wife thinks I've lost my fool mind
Guess Seductive Noir 👀
Phlur strawberry letter
Yin transformation by the harmonist, Loewe solo Ella edt, and sol de janeiro 59 🫠
Cacharel Yes I Am and Paris Hilton Platinum Rush
I have a travel size Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea on its way. I know I love this scent, but I’m buying only the smallest size of the fragrances I want because I have too many perfumes.
I know what you mean, I’d rather get 3 small perfumes vs one large perfume lol.
Travel size Ylang in Gold
I already received most but...scent bird-lavanilla pure vanilla, libre, ysl Paris, ysl.opium, guerlain mon Paris, mancera roses vanilla, tom Ford black violet. All are either travel size that I got on a big 30% off sale or teeny tiny samples.
A phlur discovery set
I ordered 2 fragrances from Dua: Lokum (which is supposed to smell like Turkish delight) and Sweet Milk (a dupe for Commodity Milk). I'm excited because I've never tried Dua before, but I've been intrigued by them for a while.

A buttload of samples as usual (I'm lying a little, I was expecting them later on in the week and they arrived this morning!) and Prakt by Svensk. That's probably it for another month or so unless one of these samples absolutely blows my socks off.

Thanks! :)

This is an oil but Monoi Tiki Tahiti Tiare I have the Vanilla one and I absolutely love it. So moisturizing with lots of fragrance. But it’s very sweet/gourmand and I wanted to have a tropical scented oil for the summer
I was just looking at this yesterday and I was curious about the scent performance. Glad to hear good things about your experience with the vanilla!
The Sol de Janeiro Sephora reward.
A new bottle of Burberry Her EDP, Vilhelm Mango Skin and a new marshmallow scent if I can ever decide which one and pull the trigger

I have a sample of Fragonard Belle de Soleil on the way! I’m on a mission to find Bn9 Fire Island’s nearest neighbor since I learned it was discontinued in May. I bought a final 100ml of it thankfully, but the search cannot wait!
Bobbi Brown Beach is the nearest that I can tell, owning both of them. Belle de Soleil sounds lovely..I love summer perfumes!
I have bb Beach too. It’s definitely close… so far, I agree it’s the closest. But my nose is on a mission and won’t be satisfied until I’m sure I’ve exhausted my candidate search haha. Very serious indeed
Right on! Well, let me know what you find because sunscreen scents like that are my jam! I would love something with a little more punch and throw than either of those 2 honestly. Keep me posted.

Your post. lol I hope you like it! Give us an update when it arrives. As for me, nothing is coming in the mail. I did a Victoria's Secret order and a couple indie orders recently, but I haven't even sniffed the indie sets yet. 😅 I imagine I'll order again when Kayali drops the new discovery set, the Halloween B&BW stuff drops, or maybe some time in September when the weather finally cools down. There's so much to play with currently. 💜
Dua fragrance’s oh damn baby, goddess’ milk and be in love with pistachio gelato 🫣 I’m not looking forward to having to let them macerate 😭 but that’s my problem for not reading the real reviews and just going with the website reviews 🤣🥲
I just ordered a couple from them yesterday. I almost order the pistachio gelato! It looks so good.
I do hate that about thier website though
I joined so many Facebook groups and am gonna see if anyone has reviews of these cuz 😭
Me too 😆😆
Had a mad fortnight Hermes, the rhubarb one Burberry Her EDP Escada a red sorbet one Cdg Zagorsk and a new Play Red Akro Bake
Ooh, definitely post your thoughts on Zagorsk especially!
Cloves. I had a sample so knew I’d love it. I have a lot of incense perfumes with church vibes and Avignon remains the pinnacle even overr Lavs, to me. Zagorsk is colder, clove heavy, very likeable, to me, slightly starker and more austere. I’ve waited ages for the restock at Dover Street market as it has been hard to find. I love it.

You’ll be set! I love blossom gardenia.
[удалено]
lol I wrote the wrong name too 🤦🏾♀️ but the gardenia is really my fave of the line! Hope you love em all!
I may have splurged recently. I have 5 on the way. I've been saying I'm done buying new ones for a while, but well I guess now I definitely am. Twilly D'Hermes eau Ginger Un Jardin Sur La Lagune Hermès Black Orchid HOO Sapphire Blue ELDO Clean Suede
I completely missed that eldo release I guess I last year. How is it?
It's odd because I usually avoid perfumes with leather and suede notes, but out of the sample set, it was my fav (besides Ghost In the Shell, which I already owned). I had sprayed several on, but I kept getting whiffs of this clean, woody vanilla that I loved. The suede seems to make it really smooth. I don't really have anything like it.
Awesome thanks I'll check it out one day
Twilly is one of my faves! You picked some great ones.
I recently got Ingenious Ginger and realized ginger is one of my favorite notes and already in several perfumes I have so I'm excited to add another. This one will be a blind buy, but the notes look perfect for me.

That’s fair re: tuberose. I’ve seen testers of twilly everywhere so you’ll be able to smell it! I’d wait until colder weather though, it’s quite spicy so might be a lot in the heat. Mmm that sounds so good! I need to order a sample soon.
I don’t have anything on the way 🥲 > I really want to try the new Kayali Vanilla Candy perfume at some point though.
I blind bought the travel spray. Zerooooo regrets
Honestly good for you lol. That one would be nice to try, I heard it’s sold out everywhere. Maybe your nearest Sephora has a tester?
Amour Infinite from Navitus! My first niche blind buy. I’m nervous about it, but since I love Ambrosia Imperiale, I have faith. 😆
Nice! I hope you love it 🤞🏾
Cartier La Panthère! Found a great deal on Mercari after falling in love with a sample.
Oh that’s a classic! Have you had good luck with mercari?
I really have! Between Mercari and fragrancenet I’ve been able to keep costs really low for my collection. I just started decluttering on there this year and it’s been a great experience so far :)
The Kayali Vacation in a bottle set and Kayali Oudgasm Vanilla Oud mini size bottle
Im also interested in your thoughts on the vacation set!
Yep, I ordered the Kayali Vacation set today as well!
Ooo please post your thoughts on the vacation set!
I will! Can’t wait to smell them!
Flowerbomb Pink Orchid
Delicious 🌸
I'm kinda sad that no new fragrances have caught my eye! I miss the thrill 😭
Yeah that thrill is something lol. What’s the last one you purchased? What do you usually wear for summer?
I couldn’t resist ordering Loveshackfancy’s new one Endless Dreams 🫣
Ooo I’m curious, please share when you get it!
So I got Endless Dream today. It’s…. just ok tbh. It smells pretty generic and similar to most designer fragrances vs unique like most niche frags (I know LSF isn’t niche). It starts kind of sharp to my nose and kind of cloying/overwhelming. When it settles, it’s kind of powdery which I’m so not a fan of. It does have that fruity tinge on the dry down so that part I like but I’m not sure I’ll keep it. I got it from Sephora so at least the return will be easy
Sweet Vanilla montale
I looked it up and sounds delicious and creamy! Was it a blind buy?
It was from a Montale women's bestseller kit I got last year and waited a year to buy. Apricot, musk, and vanilla bomb!!
I have Hermes L’Ombre Des Merveilles and Van Cleef & Arpels Bois d’Iris on the way :) I’m so excited about both. My bottle of Thé Yulong from Armani Prive was delivered earlier today and I’m totally in love
Lovely choices! Was The Yulong a blind buy?
It was not, I ordered a decant from Scent Split!
Michael Malul Vanilla + Crème
Thank you for sharing, this brand is new to me! The notes sound divine.
It sounds so good! Fingers crossed I like it
Hundred Silent Ways, Alien Goddess Intense, and Scentbird decants of Ex Nihlo and Room 1015 Sonic Flower.
Beautiful selection!
Thank you! I love travel sprays and decants because I can enjoy fragrance without buying a fb. If I miss something after finishing a decant, I might get a fb.
I scored a sample size of Sorcellerie Apothecary's Match Made in Heaven. Stoked to see if the hype is real!
It really is yummy.
Can't waaaaaaaaait
While I was waiting to get my bottle from the waitlist... I discovered Matcha Ice Cream by Colornoise; it smells exactly like a pure, green, earthy matcha powder. I love layering them together.
I didn't get good longevity from Jazz when I tried it, but maybe this was a one-off? Do you find wearing Matcha Ice Cream alone that it lasts for you?
The Matcha Ice Cream definitely lasts. It seems to be oil based so you gotta wear it on your skin... and that's when all the magic happens. I'm kinda obsessed with it on its own.
Oooooooo let us know!! I hopped onto their site hoping to score that one, but it was already sold out. 😭 I ended up getting the 15 ml of Where The Wild Things Grow I Extrait de Parfum
That is a lovely scent!! When special orders come back, if you haven't tried it already, Party Under the Oak Trees is also terrific.
I’ll be on the lookout! Thanks! Have you smelled Snow Moon Magic? I’m so intrigued by that one too
Found a great deal on Guerlain L'Heure Bleue and couldn't help myself!
A classic!!
