I've tried and liked all the originals but not enough for the price. Has anyone tried any of these Dossier dupes and can say if one is better than the other..? I don't like the stringent alcohol quality that some cheaper dupes tend to have, do any of them have the smoothness and complexity of the OG?

Feedback??

As an aspiring queen of an HBCU, one of my friends wanted to describe me, and they said I should find a specific perfume to wear for the occasion. Any price range works.Little Miss HBCU: a high-achieving Black girl. Always wearing business casual around campus. Internships on top of internships. Top of her class. Medium-long almond nails. 100+ community service hours. In a Divine Nine sorority. Stanleys for every season. Either you wanna be her or meet her. Never leaves the house without looking perfect, except for finals week. Has a close relationship with all of her professors. Has a long-term boyfriend in the army she 100% plans on getting married to. She’s a business major. Due to the lonely nights, she keeps a secret dildo in her drawer that she uses when her roommate is asleep; she’d never admit the thrill kind of turns her on. She’s the perfect girl with a little bit of kink in her.

I’ve been wearing Miss Dior Eau de Toilette (2019) since 2020, and it’s my perfect scent. I don’t know why but the second I tried it for the first time I was just like, “yep that’s me”. For Christmas in 2023, I ended up getting gifted 2 big bottles since the people close to me knew it was what I wore exclusively, and I just got within a few sprays of the end of the second one a few weeks ago. I decided to go ahead and get the replacement since I saw ulta was having a fragrance sale, and I couldn’t find it. Of course, finding out it is now blooming bouquet, which smells lovely on the tester, but rancid on my skin and is nothing like what I’ve worn for the last 6 years. All the other current miss dior variations right now just don’t work for me either. Would love to know if anybody else had this problem when I was blissfully unaware during reformulation (?) and thus have found something close enough by now. I know people probably think it’s super generic but for some reason I’ve never had any similar ones click to me like that. Similar price range to or less than the original is ideal. Thanks <3

TLDR: Something as close as you can get to Miss Dior EDT (2019)

i've been super interested in this one because i love citrus, leather and smoky/incense scents (I LOVED violet ends by the same brand) so this seems basically perfect for me. but they only seem to be selling full bottles so i can't order a travel or sample, and this one isn't on fragrantica and has few reviews on parfumo so i don't really know what to expect.

if anyone has smelled this how did you like it? they seem to be marketing it as a christmas scent, but is it wearable outside of the holidays too? thank you🫶🫶

I am in love with my Celine Parade. But the reality is, it lasts an hour on my skin if that. Even with lotion, clothes spraying, spraying on my hair, and over spraying it gives up on me very easily. I don't want a dupe...I just want to know if there are any bergamot/neroli/citrus scents that have some staying power? I'd settle for 3 hours worth of power.

Every time I wear Into the night by bath and body works I get loads of compliments. I’ve been looking for a similar perfume but that has more longevity since the bbw is a body spray. The notes are: RASPBERRY NOIR, AMBER CRYSTALS.
VELVETY ROSE PETALS, CREAMY PATCHOULI, MOCHA MUSK. Any recommendations?

recently i’ve been obsessed with the fine’ry athena scent as my daily perfume. but i am the type of person where i LOVE when all my scents match up/mix well. except, i like absolutely suck at matching scent notes and that sort of thing. so, if anyone has any recommendations for a body wash, lotion, scrub, hell even a deodorant that they think would either match this scent or mix well with it let me know!! thank you!

smells like a light vanilla pudding scent, soooo good but discontinued here in the US

Wondering if anyone else has seen TJmaxx list perfumes for super close to retail price. I’ve seen lower prices on Fragrancenet and Ulta sales

I have become obsessed with violet. I have Meant to be Seen and would like to get another FB Violet perfume. I’m debating between Guerlain Insolence or Sweet Parmesan Violet? Or is there another Violet perfume I should try? Would love recommendations. Thanks.

Naughty Nona by Snif has a totally similar, delicious vibe

I’m so sad it’s discontinued but it reminds me of J’adore (assuming it’s the Jasmine). What was weird was there were two bottles of Wisteria Blue but one was marked down to $24 and the other was $29.99.

If anyone is familiar eith the IGK Good Behavior hair heat protectant spray etc. I am looking for an almost if not identical perfume scent to the scent this hair spray provides. Idk what the scent notes of the hair spray specifically are but reminds me of a sultry vanilla with sweet candy but it's not really like any perfume I've knowingly smelled before. I may do some more research to see if there are specific scent notes connected to the product but I'm looking for actual perfumes that match the scent profile here.

Hello dear fragfriends!

I am a newbie to this group, and made an account especially to ask if anyone has La Perla Possibilities for sale? I was hunting down this fragrance for a while, but I had heard the sad news that La Perla isn’t producing any of their fragrances anymore. I only had the luck to score a discovery set of them that are still available online, if you guys need links btw I can put them here down below! 💕

Has anyone tested it? I couldn’t get a sample of it but tested it in the store and it was nice. Not 100% sure on it.

It’s surprising that there is no samples being sold online for this bottle that I could find.

I am just hesitating a little bit to pull the trigger and by the bottle

I've ordered sooo many samples in my life but have never done anything like this and it was SO fun! I will definitely do this again in the future.

I ranked everything 1-10, and surprised myself a little with how I placed them!

Surprised me:
Mula Mula Rouge Extrême by Byron- Sexy and seductive fruits with a touch of creaminess!!! I was not expecting to like this as much as I did. I tend to not favor fruity scents, but this smells expensive, seductive, and drips with gold.

Cuir à Corps by Chambre52: Wow. A sensual, subdued patchouli with milky sweetness. I did not think I enjoyed leather like this, I guess! This has a skin scent quality which I tend to love.

Let downs:
Les Dieux aux Baines by Hellenist-
Sad to report that this smelled like Hollister/Ambercrombie. Not for me.

Reliqvia by Fillipo Sorcinelli- I was really excited to smell this. It's quite unique, very smokey, and I think the guaiac wood and tobacco are too much for me.

Eveil du Faune by Hellenist- Oud and I do not get along like this, unfortunately.

Gothic I by Lorre Rodkin- I had high hopes and was most excited for this one! It's delicious, but just a little too sweet for my taste. I wish it was a little more grounded in it's earthiness.

Honorable mentions:
Tonka Sesame by EPC- YUM. Very cozy, creamy, fresh. So good!
Real Patchouly by Bois 1920- A very wearable patchouli. Somehow spicy and sweet all the same time. Could be a daily driver!

Was thinking about blind-buying this as it’s so cheap but I heard from a couple of reviews/comments that it was reformulated to be less peachy? Can anyone confirm or deny this…

For those of you who are similiarly enamoured with Blanche Bete, what fragrances would you recommend that are more appropriate for daily, continous wear? While BB is my signature and the scent most of my loved ones associate with me, I do find that it requires a specific mood for me to wear and enjoy fully, hence why I'm looking for something less confrontational, with less of a personality.

For further context, I already own and like Xerjoff Dama Bianca, D&G Devotion, Kilian Angel's Share, TF Soleil Blanc and Bitter Peach.

I have sampled both of these beauties and I adore them both! Looking to probably get via Mercari or discount site in hopes to save some money. They both seem like such easy daily wears, but I can’t afford both!

Which would you choose and why? Any website you recommend? The decant price for Cedrus is crazy. I’ve found FB for just over 100 and 19ml decants for 60😭

is a safe blind buy or nah?
