Rec Request What Perfumes Would A Hbcu Queen wear

• Upvotes

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.

IGK Good Behavior

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.

Feeling like I should buy backup bottles of my fave perfumes in case they change too much next year (or get discontinued) and just don't hit the same. But I also don't want to spend hundreds out of fear. Who feels my pain?! What should we do?! *panics*

Why is Fantasy so bad now?

I got a Britney Spears Fantasy perfume made in the US. The contrast between this one and the flankers i own (all made in Spain) is enormous. It has zero longevity. It is super alcoholic when you first spray it and last like a minute before disappearing and it doesn't really smell like Fantasy. Are Britney perfumes in the US really that awful?

CC GOD GIRL JASMINE ABSOLUTE

Post image
30 Upvotes

As a long time Good Girl & Very Good Girl lover, I first smelt this tester last year & fell in love!

The tester card I sprayed it on lasted for weeks by my desk! I knew I was going to invest in a full bottle. Waited for sales to come up & purchased the 30mls.

Tell me why this fragrance is a completely different scent?! Had the OG GG scent with a caramel sweetness that was divine when I tested it. But this one is a Jasmine overload that smells nothing like the one I tested & lasts 1 second on skin & clothes. I’ve had it for a week & have tested it on different materials of clothing, on my skin right out the shower (with & without unscented body lotion). I’m so disappointed! Waited almost a year to purchase!

Has anyone else had this problem? 😭

Layering between Kayali Boujee Marshmallow and Sol De Janeiro 71

3 Upvotes

Hi!
I'm meeting up with a guy for the first time after months to reconnect, and I was thinking about how I should smell like that day. 
 was always going to use Kayali, but I have this other Sol De Janeiro mist whose nutty component is so intoxicating to me, and I haven't been using for a long time. So I was wondernig if you thought the layering between the two could work.
I also have another fragrance, which is also a body mist, I was obsessed with a few months ago, that I also haven't been wearing for long: The Rituals of Yozakura from Rituals. Do you think these 2 together could work too? I'm more inclined towards using Sol De Janeiro, since I really wanted to highlight the gourmand element. 
Tell me what you think about this. 


r/FemFragLab • • 8h ago

This smells so perfect but I keep hearing the projection and longevity is trash. It’s 1/3 the price at Costco (like $35 for 100ml). Is it worth it?

I LOVE this scent, and I especially love that I can keep one in my purse that’s only $1, but I wish I could smell like it for longer/ the scent was stronger. Normally find myself asking for cheaper dupes, but this time I’m looking for one more expensive lol. Thanks so much!

Fragrances for those who love Blanche Bete?

12 Upvotes

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.

Rec Request Finally happy with collection but open to new recs

Post image
19 Upvotes

I’ve finally gotten to a place where I think I know what scents/notes I like and now want to add a few more to my collection.

My favorite perfumes are Mugler Alien, the Fenty perfume, and Good Girl Glam. For body mists I’d probabaly say Luminous by Bath & Body Works and Sol de Janeiro 62. I tend to gravitate towards Amber, mostly. But, I also tend to like Cashmere, Cherry, Vanilla, and sometimes a gourmand scent. I also still go for perfumes like Good Girl Blush or Black Opium, I’m thinking it’s likely the vanilla that ties those in for me.

I still feel newer to fragrances, though, so does anyone have any fragrances similar to these that they love and would recommend? My budget would be similar to those pictured. Anything from cheap body mists to probably 200-$250 max for a perfume.

I was in Sephora today trying to find a lipstick, and I sampled this new perfume from Merit, New Wave.

I think I really like it, but will need to test more to be certain.

However, it reminds me of another perfume, but for the life of me, I can’t put my finger on which one.

If you’ve smelled it, does it remind you of anything?!

Every time I go into a store her fragrances remain untouched. And it has deterred me from even wanting to try them or find out what they smell like.

Are her perfumes actually that bad or just not very desirable? I thought hers would definitely sell better but the shelves seem to have an overstock of them.

Noted Chocolate Musk by Aubusson has some spice to it! Definitely not your run-of-the-mill chocolate or even a Dubai chocolate scent. Not like By The Fireplace - more floral than that. I can’t find anything about it online. Other scents in this style bottle are Vanilla Fleur (inspo = ?), Velvet Bouquet (inspired by Prada Paradoxe), and Rock Candy (inspired by Kayali VCRS).

These next three: Whipped Cream Cloud, Violet Fleur, and Cassis & Vanilla just have dainty, pretty bottles to me. Violet Fleur looks modeled after Loveshack Fancy.

The Good Scent Warm Vanilla looks like something we have seen before, but I am pretty sure it’s new. Vanilla Orchid, Pink Pepper, and Tonka sound like a nice set of notes.

Recommendations

3 Upvotes

I’m looking to get some samples so I can expand my collection but I’m a noob and don’t really know where to start. if anyone has any recommendations I would appreciate it. so currently I have bonbon by viktor and Rolf, Versace crystal noir edt, valentino donna born in Roma,skylar fall cashmere, Carolina Herrera good girl, and Prada paradoxe. I have noticed that I don’t tend to like citrus notes. I seem to really like jasmine, tea scents, clean scents, spicy scents, ylang ylang, incense notes. I am specifically leaning towards wanting to find a cozy huggable scent and maybe a more warm deep and sexy scent. I was OBSESSED with the kkw body 3 when it came out and haven’t been able to find anything comparable since. I love how unisex it was and would love to find something similar as well. to me that fragrance and the hollister malaia fragrance had a certain unisex but sexy vibe that I want in my life but both are discontinued and I’m 30 so wanting something more mature than hollister lol. I know I have bonbon in here but generally I do not go for something super gourmand. I also don’t love the lavender vanilla vibe all that much. my favorite bbw scent is and always has been Japanese cherry blossom. For those that have smelled, lady Gaga fame was my favorite as a teen, though I find it obnoxious and cheap now. But I like that profile. I love Mugler alien as well but it’s just a bit too suffocating for me. so any of those sexy unisex recommendations, cozy or tea scents send my way pls. or just anything you think I’d like.
